Current Events > Flex that creative muscle: Your Unique Video Game Idea

(+) Yeah! (+)

Topic assumes that budget and manpower would be no object.

You're given the opportunity to create any game you want, so long as it doesn't use any already existing IP in gaming. What do you create?

This topic was inspired by Okami. On paper, it's pretty fucking weird, even though in execution it's a Zelda clone.

Game where you play as an adaptive seed and you hop into different soil to grow into different plants to overcome various obstacles. For instance, tall sunflower can reach high enough to shoot a new seed out over a cliff, or up onto a ledge, cactus gives you protective pins to ward off insects, touch-me-not lets you shoot projectiles, etc

That sounds cool, lots of puzzle and brain-teaser opportunities there.

You play as a young man who goes around town collecting breast milk.

basically you're an underachieving, narcissistic loser who goes around sabotaging other character's lives.

basically an adult Gary from Bully, except he's ruining marriages, getting people fired, getting people locked up, etc...

fucking hater.

A metroidvania where you lose more abilities the further you. You start with them all then need to make choices what to lose.

how about a game where you play as a futanari and you have to hurry up and fuck all sorts of stuff before your sexual frustration meter builds up and reaches critical mass and she explodes like a nuke

Hmm

Anyways, as for my idea, how about an rpg where you fight by inflicting mental trauma? The goal would be to drive the enemy to give up and allow you to do whatever you wanted to them, or to dissuade them from fighting you to begin with. High level attacks take up more "Mental Points" and reduce your own mental resistences

So a game about a GameFAQs mod? Interesting.

This is intriguing. It would be complicated to design a game with metroidvania-style exploration that you can still complete while simultaneously throwing away your ability to backtrack and explore. The game would need to reward the players in some way for sacrificing otherwise valuable resources.

I feel like this already exists. I would be surprised to learn it doesn't exist.

Psychological combat, eh? I dig it. I'm imagining the dialogue system from Mass Effect but you can humiliate and embarrass people, blackmail them, threaten them, lie to them, etc, etc. with stronger options becoming available depending on which style you roll with.

And have it stolen? No thanks.

I posted this idea a while back:

It would be a Streets of Rage kind of game, but the characters would be anthropomorphic donkeys. They would all have names similar to the Unhinged series of MTG like Bad Ass, Smart Ass, Fat Ass, etc., and abilities relating to their names. Like Fat Ass would move slower than the others, but have more health, and he would have a special move where he jumps up and causes a shockwave upon landing that temporarily stuns enemies close to him. Smart Ass would get better usage out of items he picks up, but enemies would target him more frequently. Bad Ass would be a Terminator style donkey with shades, a leather jacket, and a shotgun, and would have a chance of not flinching when he got hit.

I haven't really thought of a story though, as story is the least important thing in games for me :<

Not exactly unique

But I've had this idea for a Punisher open world game. You'd basically have to avoid Police while also locating and targeting specific criminals to get information on where higher ups are hiding, and then take them out to get to the leader. It would work very similar to the Deck of 52 system from Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction.

I would also have it so that you would be able to unlock different vehicles for different situations (his Chopper from the 80's movie would help you get through traffic and escape police, his GTO from the 2004 film would have bulletproof armor for when you're under attack from enemies, his battle van would allow Microchip to be nearby and provide MGS style radar and support, etc. etc.)

You'd have all sorts of costume unlocks. I would have it so that most of them would offer some sort of effect similar to Spider-Man PS4 had. Unlike Spider-Man PS4, I wouldn't allow the effects to be mix and matched until a new game plus as I see some having pros and cons. For example, Punisher wearing his trenchcoat would allow him to conceal his skull and longer weapons which would make it easier not to be noticed by police or civilians at the expense of movement. Similarly, if he had the skull facepaint on it would have a fear debuff on criminals while also making him stand out to civilians and police. I would also include some special just for fun costumes such as his Captain America tribute costume, Frankencastle and the Punisher War Machine suit.

On top of costumes I would want to have skin unlocks that would simply change The Punisher himself without having an effect through costumes. I'd want this so that you'd be able to have various "version" of Frank. So basically you have his classic comic look, or you could have him look like he does on the MAX covers. I'd would also want to use this as a way to possibly include Frank after he underwent cosmetic surgery to look Black (although I don't know if that would be deemed offensive even if it was just a skin) and in a perfect world a Rachel Cole Alves skin that would also give her separate dialogue voiced by a female when used.

There'd be five crime groups you're trying to take down. Each one would have an assassin or enforcer that is sent after you once you take out enough informants in each gang.

- An Irish Group lead by Nesbitt with Finn Cooley working as enforcer.
- Eastern European group lead by the Bulat family. They would hire The Russian as their enforcer.
-Dogs of Hell motorcycle gang, with Bushwacker being their enforcer.
-Italian Mafia group with Jigsaw being their enforcer
-An African American gang who's enforcer would be Barracuda. (this could also be a Cartel though)

You'd use funds you take from criminals in order to get Microchip to hook you up with more guns and equipment. If you get too much police attention you'd have to give funds to Martin Soap to grease the right palms in order to get the police to back down. I'd imagine that if you have a certain level of attention with the police you could also draw the attention of certain heroes. Daredevil might confront you if you're operating in Hells Kitchen, Luke Cage in Harlem, Spider-Man in Midtown. Etc.

I just realized that I think about a new Punisher game way too much lol if anyone actually reads this and has the ability to steal it and make it (even if it couldn't include some of my loftier ideas like other heroes and skins and stuff) feel free cause I'll never have the ability to do this.
