Game Name if not taken: Warmachine
by Jared Reno · in Game Design and Creative Issues · 06/24/2007 (5:45 pm) · 10 replies
Story: Intergalactic peace... BullS***! War has consumed this dark universe. Resources for the war are becoming limited, which fuels up the war even more. Races compete for Galactic Suppremacy. You are a soldier. But not just the normal grunt. No your a maniac hell bent on killing all those in your way. Lazer turrets? Not a problem. Plasma Bombers? Easy. The Wife? ... Lets just stick with the other battles. Run up and kill your enemies with extreme predjudice. This is war son, are you in?
That was kinda written like an ad but still. As you can see your a badass fighter with certain abilities. (stuff that makes you a better warrior, not sure what yet). This is a change up from the whole "work your way up to being better." Your at the top and your the best you can be. No gaining powers, you got the powers. This is Haloish in the fact that its just you against a million of them but thats not a nessicerily bad thing now is it. Another feature I hope would make it in this game would be duel Powers. Ex: Fire + Water= Steam. Like you can use two powers at the same time with varing degrees of results. Power usage based off of Adrenaline which you get from killing, being shot at, etc.
Tell me what you think about this game idea. Im not making it (mainly cause I cannot script and I cant afford the engine so using the demo.) so if you want to take this idea and make it yourself go ahead. Just tell me and keep me updated on the project cause theres nothing better then seeing your idea (even if your not building it) in action.

Sounds kinda like Warhammer 40.000 mixed up with Unreal Tournament, and Savage. But a tasty and fast pacing idea none the less there.About the name - Warmachine are going to stomp all over your name idea I'm pretty sure.

Christian S- Thanks for the compliment and as to the name, its like I said if its taken Ill change it. But of course I cant build it. Was just throwing the idea out there.

Shiraz- In all the others Ive played you get the big bad weapons later in the game (same with powers). In this game you get your choice of weapons from little to big and badass. You get all the powers. I thought this might be more realistic.Christian S- Thanks for the compliment and as to the name, its like I said if its taken Ill change it. But of course I cant build it.

Jared - The reason that's done is so the game continually builds and does not get stagnant. It's also a way of improving the character without becoming an RPG. You'll see similar techniques done in movies. Now, I'm not saying your approach won't work but you'll have to compensate in another way so that the game does not become monotonous. What would you suggest?

Well Id say then Id compensate in difficulty. Start out easy with a slight learning curve going to major difficulties where you need to know and use everything you got to get past it. Need more?
