Re: [Audyssey] game ideas, anyone like it?
A broomstick wouldn't be beneficial during the duel because your opponent will have an illustrious opportunity to shoot you down through the air just as you are attempting to shoot him where he or she's standing. For one, a broomstick is long, so your opponent could fire any offensive spell at the tail of the broom, resulting in the decimation of it. The only way it will be useful to you is if you were dueling in a mountain and if you were required to hover above a glacier or a very large bolder. But you'd have to be incredibly quick to pull off such a tactic. - Original Message - From: "chandu S S" To: Sent: Monday, February 06, 2012 4:09 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] game ideas, anyone like it? thank you guys, for your feadback.

Hi Chandu, Well, I've honestly got some mixed feelings about this one. The idea of a wizard duel sounds ok in of itself, but I can't help but feel as though the game is too simplistic in design. it lacks any kind of complexity or depth I'd expect from a good audio game. What I mean by that is you talk about walking left or right, pressing a key to jump or duck, etc. Sadly like so many audio games you are thinking about a one dimensional game where most if not all the action is along the x axis. In its own way it is basically Troopenum or Dark Destroyer except instead of moving left/right and shooting down space ships you are casting spells at another wizard. As we have far too many of these simplistic games already I'd personally like to see something with a little more complexity or depth then move left and right shooting at something or someone. Make sense? One way to make this more interesting is maybe to create some court yard or arena where you can move around in 2d or 3d, duck behind statues, or cast a hovering charm so you can perform some kind of aerial attack from the sky, etc. expand the idea so you are not trapped into a single axis of movement.Even a 2d game would be more complex than your initial game idea.

Each round consists of a specific time, Say, 15 minutes. You start with a few offensive and defensive spells, and a potions belt which consists of some healing potions. as you progress to each new round, new spells'll be added. You use your left and right ctrl keys to dodge left and right, alt to jump, down arrow to duck, and left and right shift to role left and right. so, what do you guys say? -- to be the silver lining of hope, even in the crack
Re: [Audyssey] game ideas, anyone like it?
Another suggestion came into my head as I was reading your email. How about the ability to create a group of powerful shields in a dome like structure and hide in it? This can be overwhelmingly useful for you because you can prepare to cast a spell while your opponent is attempting to incapacitate you. Maybe your opponent should have the same ability to so it levels the playing field. - Original Message - From: "Thomas Ward" To: "Gamers Discussion list" Sent: Monday, February 06, 2012 12:26 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] game ideas, anyone like it? Hi Muhammed, Sure. Illusion is definitely a good way to confuse and distract an enemy opponent. Plus in some games the illusion itself might be able to cast spells etc doing some extra damage at the same time as you. Transfiguration could be effective if, and I do mean if, you have the ability to change into a more powerful creature. If you can turn into a dragon, for example, then the dragons armor and fire would make an incredible weapon against an opponent. Turning into an owl might be a great disguise but not necessarily an effective weapon in a combat situation like a dragon would be.

Re: [Audyssey] game ideas, anyone like it?
Hi Dennis, Yes, that is precisely a point I tried to make to him earlier this week. Ideas themselves are a dime a dozen, but actually making it into a workable game is another thing entirely. For example, for the last couple of years I've been toying with the idea of a roll playing game. I've had plenty of ideas, good ones, but have had to reject them or update them for one reason or another. the process of going from idea to game isn't as easy as it sounds. Although, I believe that this game idea requires comments and suggestions which I'll address separately in its own e-mail with the attention and respect it deserves. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] game ideas, anyone like it?
Chandu (and everyone else), I don't mean to rain on your parade, but as a game developer, I think there is something you should know: the idea is the easy part. I have half a dozen text files each containing literally thousands of game ideas which I've had over the past fifteen years. I even have a couple different versions of your idea below in there. Pretty much all professional game developers have thousands of ideas they'd like to work on. Ideas are a dime a dozen. The hard part is actually making the game, and if you really want to see your idea become reality, that's where you need to focus.
