Now that 24 hours have passed we have our winner!

A huge thanks to @[email protected] for suggesting this awesome idea!

A survival crafting game where the tech tree goes backwards. You start in a prepper hole with working water filtration, food sources, etc, and everything is nice. Then something breaks and maybe you fix it. Something else breaks and maybe you fix that. Three things break at once, and at least one of them is going to stay broken. Have to do something more primitive and time consuming.

Eventually, enough things break that it’s no longer sustainable and you die. Game ranks you based on how long you last.

I would also like to thank every person in the comments for making their wonderful suggestions! I've read through every single one of them and all of them are really good!

You can view the game's code at https://github.com/SamLeeway/project-196, which is currently empty at the time of writing this, but every day from now I will contribute code there.

The game currently does not have any name other than "Project 196", so I will probably host a poll when we have at least something playable.

When the game would be playable? Making games ain't easy so it's pretty hard to estimate. I would say in around a week or so I should have a rough prototype if things go right.

Update

Didn't really have much time to work on this this week, so my week estimate is going out of the window. I will not estimate anymore. But I am still working on things, so game will happen. :)

I want a realistic down-to-earth ~~show~~ game that's completely off the wall and swarming with magic robots.

And, also, you should win things by ~~watching~~ playing.

A platformer where the characters have powers based on every fetish ever. All of them.

Quiz race

Everytime you reach a checkpoint you get a mutiple choice question, if you answer it right till the next checkpoint you get a short boost and your car improves (higher max speed,better handling etc.)

Do mods count?

For the longest time I've wanted a Left 4 Dead 2 mod where you play as your choice of the TF2 mercs.

I don't deny it would take some creativity to combine the game mechanics, and would definitely break the difficulty curve, but I don't care one bit. I think it would be delicious.

why not an online/offline game ?

Boneraiser kinda did that already. But reverse a vampire surivor. You are the enemies. You create hordes of monsters (amount of kinda, maybe even some individual changes you can make per monstertype or just frankenstein them together). You can change their strategy in attacking and formation. And most importantly you the money you gather you can use to support and upgrade the heroes making them stronger and dropping more experience as a result. Oh, and then simply make it an MMORPG, thankies.

I have a better idea but I won't tell you, so, a racing game that has the Minecraft ice boating mechanics

A game that is only perceivable through electric motors on your body

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

a dark fantasy rpg with gameplay and graphics like ultrakill and ui (especially dialogue ui, without voice acting), modular armor and unique seeting like morrowind. No matter how you do the character creation you need to have a dnd dragonborn/tes argonian style lizard race cause I love them oh also spears :3 oh and skill checks like baldur's gate 3

A digital card game where players can trade cards with each other. No big digital card game does this for fear of loss of profits.

I miss trading cards with my friends.

All I want is a game that doesn't feel like a game. As in no invisible walls, no repetitive game mechanics, no duplicate assets, and unpredictable AI, for starters. Such a game has yet to exist.

5v5 card game MOBA like league of legends mixed with hearthstone/slay the spire.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Does it have to be a game?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Well I'm quite good at making games, that's why I want to make a game. What else would you suggest?
