Divide Game Ideas Forum into smaller forums

by Alain Webb · in Game Design and Creative Issues · 08/20/2001 (12:07 pm) · 3 replies

There might be multitudes of game designers posting game ideas in this forum, so it's best that Game Ideas Forum be divided into several smaller forums such as:

*sports & streetfighting games
*wargames
*mind games (like pictionary)
*sci-fi games (like Homeworld, Star Wars, etc.)
*medieval games (like Dungeons & Dragons)
*games based on anime (like Gundam Wing)
*games based on non-anime shows (like Survivors, Iron Chef)
*games based on real world businesses (like a game based upon a fast food franchise)
*miscellaneous

Well, to me, it seems that the information is in the numbers, 792 posts on this forum, rivaled only by the General Discussion forum, and the Technology forum. Ideas don't find the path to reality any easier by being jumbled and unfocused, do they? I think it could help out without being cumbersome. -Phoenix.

--Maybe not SO many categories...

I have to say I agree with Josh here. There may a lot of posts but that does date back to December 2000 so it's not particularly surprising.
I think any more subdivision would make browsing a little more annoying and if there were any cross-over ideas then they only get posted in one of the groups.

As a single forum it also allows for little ideas, or non-entire game thoughts to be easily voiced.

Just my 0.4 pence worth :)
