Hello all list members,
I've been considering writing a game in the future. I've done a few
small and rather trivial projects with myself and a friend, but nothing
too significant. I'm wondering, from the VI gaming community, what your
thoughts are on a game idea. I've thrown some ideas around in my head.
Basically you're in a city environment... New York or Chicago for the
sake of practicality. You've got to get past stuff, perhaps gang
members, careless drivers or maybe even bikers, etc. You've got to watch
out for the cops, etc. You have weapons, for example a pistol, your
fists, and a switchblade you can steal from someone. I'm thinking
something along the lines of Grand Theft Auto, so it would have some
violence and maybe that type of action. There would be various levels,
and the end you have to deal with a boss-type situation. The premise of
the game might be you have to give the boss money or do a kill. You're
involved with a gang and therefore have to do a deed for this guy.
Obviously one can tell just by reading this that this would require a
lot of time and effort, and a bit of spending on my part for sounds,
music, etc. Does this sound remotely interesting to anyone? I've
considered a side-scroller, but in my opinion we've got an overabundance
of side-scrolling games, so perhaps a 2d environment would be more suitable.
Thoughts? This is no way in any stage of development right now, as I've
got other things I'm preoccupied with, but I may consider this if the
interest is sufficient. Thanks and take care all.
