Video Game Plots

#1 Look harder. There's LOADS of different ideas floating around. Just look at all of garagegames released titles. Are any of them conventional?

I think the MMORPG model presents the closest to what most people would want to play in a game, since it can be related to real-life more. Games are good, but they're better when they're more social... and for the moment that means more people ;)

#2 I'm making a single player Action/RPG. (C: Got a full team except for the lead programmer... )C:

#3 Our title is is an FPS one. Our team is complete and we will hopefully be releasing a demo at FragMart (the largest LAN even in British Columbia) this August round the 24th.

#4 Okay people do have new ideas, but why do you hear nothing about games other than MMORPGs in the forums? When the topic is completely different people always mention their MMORPGs like they're bragging about some game that never gets finished.

#5 It's true, we are getting saturated by MMORPGs. Many people believe that online gaming is the future. I personally think it will merely share the future. There will always be a place for single player games IMO. That's why I'm making a single player game that breaks ground in the genre...hopefully, itll prove my point one day...if I could only find a programmer....

Because MMOs are the fad of the year, and most people that have the skills to complete a game are busy making the game instead of talking about how great their non-existant game will be.

#7 Yeah.. its because MMORPG's are the new big thing. Not everyone realizes how complex they are to make.. and those same people want to make one because they play them and like them, and think they have a great idea.

Have any indie MMOG's been finished and had a full public release? I sure can't think of any... but I can think of tons of them that disappeared into thin air.

#8 So you know, I'm working on games that cover all kinds of new genres as well as an MMORPG (or 2, hehe...), and in a year or so I hope you will see some very detailed progress. I won't be giving up on any of these plans, especially now that I'm actually seeing some light at the other end of the tunnel.

It is sorrowful to see a project dropped though, and I would have no problems helping anyone see the light a little better, considering they have a solid design and, more importantly, the will to match my own efforts. It's true that many people prospecting their ideas lack the skills to do much work on them, but again, that's what this community should be focused on instead of ignoring (not to sound bad, but I think we all have had the "Newbie Blues" at one point). Myself, I'm a designer and an artist, with little programming experience and no overall experience (other than recent), and I don't have any finished work...

...but that's why I'm here working with what I can, and thus far I'd say I've been pretty helpful to a few projects, most notably Realm Wars.

Again, I'll also note our friends at BraveTree and 21-6 as a wonderful example of teamwork! We could all learn from their example.

#9 The game ideas my writer thinks up could make an MMOG, but we know better than to have that be the main feature. It's good to have MMO fetures in a game, but not as its main focus.(you know like have a version of the game be single player and another be online)

#10 yeah, same kinda thing i'm planning on doing, making a game with it's single player elements and mmorpg elements!
