Thread 725598809

Post nice ideas of games you are thinking of so others can stea-ahm, get inspired from it.

>post apocalypse
>takes place in the 2500s
>civilization collapsed in the 2090s from eruption of Yellowstone
>surviving societies treasure advanced technology left over from the before times
>kinda like Fallout without the Americana aesthetics
That’s all I’ve got. I’ve had these ideas for a few years. I want the apocalypse to happen in the future so futuristic tech makes it more interesting. Setting the apocalypse in the modern day just makes it depressing (The Walking Dead, Book of Eli, The Road, etc.)

>Sega saturn game
>3D and basically trying to make crysis but on the sega saturn real
>use both SH2 CPUs at full load the whole time
>even use the SCU in weird and interesting ways

>>725598809 (OP)
i'm working on something right now so i don't feel like talking about it.

>>725599559
that's not a game idea, that's a vague idea for the premise of a story. you didnt even say what genre it is

Just Crazy Taxi but with wacky gimmicks and an open world. Have hostile NPCs to make things a little more varied. Also maybe actual story missions to progress things.
So basically what if GTA but you couldn't really get out of the car or do any other crimes.

>>725598809 (OP)
thief clone except you play as a cute spider

>>725603186
I’m still trying to figure it out. Maybe for VR?

A hentai RPG with the twist that you don't know it's a post-rapture story until the end.
>The women in the MC's life suddenly turn into monster girls/warriors/sorceresses
>isekai-ish story where there are now mobs and monsters out in the world, there are now stats and EXP
>occassionally you have to battle other people with their own party of girls
>romancing and sexual acts with your girls raises their (and your) stats and abilities
The twist:
>The people taken by the rapture were just replaced by demons in disguise, pretending their powers are fantasy
>They are grooming you into depraved acts
>All of them are working in collaboration to create the strongest sinner, one that can be possessed by the anti-christ and destroy the world
>The only way to get the true ending is the virgin route, where you are brutally decapitated for ruining their plans

>>725603009
Sounds gay

>>725598809 (OP)

>Call of Duty-style action shooter in Source 2 full of cliched callbacks to movies like Black Hawk Down (ex. fast-rope from a Black Hawk into a desert city and get shot down, spend rest of the mission defending the crash site)
>play as 1990s US Army Rangers and Delta Force with a pair of unnamed Eastern European and Middle Eastern countries
>full freedom of customization for weapons before each mission
>hyper-autistic period correct gear like Ranger Body Armor, TG Faust vests, Aimpoint 5000 sights, Pro-Tec helmets and whatnot
>on the surface is a callback to late-90s/early-2000s militainment games like Delta Force, Spec Ops, and Full Spectrum Warrior
>is actually a stealth prequel to the Half-Life games (the Eastern European country you fight in is literally the setting of Half-Life 2 minus all the Combine and Xeniggers) and it's implied through discoverable intel your missions are an extension of a secret corporate war between Black Mesa and Aperture Science

>>725606848
I can just play Arma 3 nigga

>>725598809 (OP)
>fallout but le indie spiritual successor
>base it off 90s and 2000s visions of the future
>only 15 years after nukes fell a lot of shit still works well enough to kill you, can be repaired, is currently decaying, and actively changes over time like buildings collapsing messing with the topography of the map
>damaged hover pads on cars make small gravity wells for example
>ALL THE THINGS SHE SAID ALL THE THINGS SHE SAID RUNNING THROUGH MY HEAD RUNNING THROUGH MY HEAD RUNNING THROUGH MY HEAD playing on radio station equivalent (new songs would be a good collectable)
>central area in city is unaccusable until you get a gas mask (your character just starts violently throwing up when you take it off), this is because in the middle there is a building that essentially was a rental matrix where you could live inside for a fee
>nobody got them back out after the bombs fell so its a massive biohazard
>some of their minds still linger as a ball lightning/wisp type enemies in the area
>if you hide near two they will zap each other to communicate which sounds like a really static heavy radio station

Farming sim Starde-like where you're a human that falls into a all furry (kemono) world isekai style.

>>725608551
Yeah but it's fun....in my brain.
All the drivers are wacky guys with cars that have special powers.

take the horror element of death stranding but make it actually scary. you're sent on a mission into a zone controlled by a malevolent entity that can endlessly make projections of itself. like death stranding you have several gadgets to manage projections of the entity you come across though none are fullproof.

In all of naval warfare since 1900, your options are either
>So autistic that From the Depths is one of the more approachable ones
>So basic that they may or may not be clones of ten-year-old mobile games
>You play as a submarine exclusively
Remove those and you can count on one hand the games that fit the bill. The Battlestations games, War Thunder naval, and arguably Carrier Command 2 are the only ones I know of from the last 25 years. And one of them is War Thunder naval.
So my dream vidya is a new Battlestations game that isn't fundamentally aimed at console action junkies and thus can be a bit smarter.

>arcade co-op horde shooter that plagiarizes the absolute SHIT out of source engine games' !rtd feature to be the headlining gameplay element
>Mario 64 but with a shitton of players going in extraction shooter-style, get as many coins/powerups as you can then get a power star to leave
>asymmetrical multiplayer game a la DBD but one of the survivor/hunted players is The Thing and can rig the shit out of the match as long as his teammates don't catch him
>Clock Tower 2D horror with Cuphead's animation style

Tacticool milsim... but with mechs. And I mean japanese mechs, not the ugly american ones.

now i am going to post some of these from other anons as i don't have anymore of my own besides the first three.
>>725609282
man, death stranding was such a cool base for a game. if only kojima had leaned hard into making it an imsim horror game, it would have been so good.

Here’s my most played games from the past 5 years. A combination of all these games would be nice.

This is a bot post. Bots don't seem to understand what video games even are just yet.

>>725598809 (OP)
I'd like a 2nd person shooter where an AI narrator walks you through the story based on your input. Stanley Parable meets Doom.

Mecha/Rhythm/Dating Sim hybrid game set onboard a massive generational spaceship where people seeking new forms of entertainment have begun holding mech dance-offs.

Combination of FTL, homeworld, and rimworld with a star-trek-esque premise of mapping uncharted territory in deep space. You manage 1 to a few large ships you customize and fill out yourself, making rooms for cabin quarters and research, power room engine room etc. Combat would be like a 3d FTL, positioning and such is mostly taken care of for you as all combat would take place at more "realistic" distances apart.

>3D Bullet-Hell Platformer collelctathon
>enemies will spew out cool bullet patterns,
>movement is stop and move on a dime
>no I-Frame dodging
>your progress can be reset by enemies stealing your collectables

I'd also like a system similar to Spyro 2's anti piracy
where the game takes away progress but have it grounded
in a threatening enemy that will take your collectables or if you die
you will be severally punished, maybe an enemy will steal your collectables
or something similar to SM64 DS with the whole Silver Star gimmick they had.

maybe 3 or 2 characters, and a run time of 1 to 2 hours when you know the route.
I have too many ideas for people to give a shit.

Thanks thread I used this to plan out stuff for a game I'll never make lol

>>725614568
if you really want to scratch that itch, get as far into game dev without thinking it out and then abandon when you get bored, as you would do with a video game.
Scratched my itch to make a point-and-click light-gun style shooter, which got as far as making shooting and reloading work.

>>725614474
Sounds like a chore. Just go where bullet not and collect 300 ubisoft collectibles. Doesn't sound like there's even a little bit of player agency. And why would we care about how many collectibles we have?

>>725614824
I actually did start messing with the basics in godot a few weeks back. starting with a 2d platformer. I'll probably never make the resident evil/nocturne clone that I dream of, but it's fun to learn something new. I used to make mods for other games but it got kinda boring so I figured it's time to move on
>>725614891
very tasteful visually, what would the combat be though. in a squad like kenshi or more individual?

>>725614843
I had ideas of a timer that would make
enemies stronger and more aggressive or just add a strict timer.
as for the 300 ubisoft collectibles I found games like
Jak, Spyro, and Banjo very boring and todays platformers
don't really seem to be concerned with making their games harder
let alone getting inspired by arcade games, but there's money to be made
compared to making something interesting.

>>725598809 (OP)
a game about sex but it's with anime girls.

>>725598809 (OP)
A boomer shooter/hub-based RPG hybrid game with a mixed Hey Arnold/Urotsukidoji style, scummy inner city environment with heavy sado-sexual themes and garish colors. A massive bestiary inspired by early-gen YuGiOh designs, with some light Shin Megami Tensei elements where moon phases affect monster spawning, behavior, and player exploration.

>>725604080
the real ending should be better than this. MC needs to have dense protag energy too.

tacticool anime grils

Hidden and Dangerous but Halo

>>725603979
>the genre of VR

>>725615061
for me it's GameMaker Studio since my idea was pretty simplistic. If I ever do finish all of the coding, I might change the pixelshit placeholders for shittier vector art instead of just coloring in the placeholders.
Art is the biggest killer for me.

You would be raped by jews until the end of time for making it but it would be glorious

A co-op friendslop game where you are making movie scenes. Action or horror would probably work best. Some players are actors; others might be camera crew or special effects/director. It's called Kino, of course.

>>725598809 (OP)
The genre is cyberpimp noir, the game is called FUNK PATROL: 2000. In the dystopian year of 1997, you were the only good cop in The City before being betrayed in a sting gone bad. People are disappearing from the streets, and you as a disgraced cop now private eye, must bust the case wide open and clear your name.

ARE YOU A BAD ENOUGH DUDE TO SAVE THE CITY?

I want to make a bare bones jrpg series ala the Final Fantasy Legend games.
Just something where at the start of the game you pick a party from different types of characters whose mechanics are all different from each other eg. some are equipment based, some use a job system, some level up from gaining xp, some are monsters who evolve into different monsters etc

Something light on story and replayable

I actually had a prompt written in the original threads all those years ago, I went and dug it up from my old college laptop:


The year is 1997.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RScZrvTebeA

Detroit, Michigan, USA.

For the past half century the cold war has gone on, unending with no end in sight, between the United States and the Soviet Union. Things have changed back in the heartland of the United States, though, as jobs and industry have been moving overseas for the past decade en masse. The city of Detroit finds itself with massive unemployment, rampant crime, and a shrinking police force, and what police there are sit comfortably in the pockets of big business.

You were the best cop in the city, but after a raid gone horribly wrong you quit the force for good. With nowhere else to turn you do the only thing you know how: fight. As a vigilante you are beyond the law. Above the law. You serve justice. Real justice at the expense of the corrupt system. With only your closest friends and their contacts you begin to fight back.

You fight the gangs of the city, the police who hunt you, the mercenaries employed to assassinate you, the robots that lurk in the shadows, which silently remove the dregs of the city.

It is time to bring The Man down.

The police hound after you. The corporations demand retribution. The newspapers call you gangsters, thieves, and murderers.

You, however, call yourselves:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IST6qRfVqwY

FUNK PATROL 2000.

It is up to you and your funky crew to beat back The Man and save your city. Are you a bad enough dude to save Detroit?

No one has plot armor. Everyone can die. You can even lose, villains can win.

Welcome to the genre of cyberpimp noir.

>>725620212
i miss when /v/ got creative.

>>725620376
I blame social media and reddit. Zoomers started getting older and started wojacking and sharty-posting everywhere. Everything is so wholly derivative now there really isn't anything online worth making OC for. Now it's seen as cringe for trying too hard to make something fun or creative.

I wanted to make a Deus Ex like set during the Cold War that feels like picrel but after my other game flopped I won't work on it anymore.

Stardew but you're a deep sea fisherman with both real and fantastical fish and sea monsters. And pixel art that isn't dogshit. Probably need a jap or gook artist for that.

>>725620837

You had me from reading this but then lost me with the rest
It sounds boring to lose the important collectables every time you take damage, I would prefer a lives system and the player just has three hit points max per level or something

A 3D platformer designed all about being acrobatic as fuck and threading the needle against a ton of obstacles with tight controls and snappy physics sounds very fun but I hate the idea of 64 DS silver star shit.

From reading the first half above, I pictured a sandbox level filled with collectables and the objective is basically to just survive and collect them all.
With going for an arcade design, could even make it a score attack based off how fast the player is, how many lives they lost, HP total etc

>>725620376
Most of /v/‘s creative minds often have lives. They don’t come here often.

>>725609250
This would be the most fucked game ever invented
greenlight it.

>>725626481
/v/ used to have oc threads all the time. it is no longer worth it now when phoneposting coomers, culture war ragebaiters, and twitterfags are going to ignore it all to argue about shit they know nothing about and shove anything interesting to page 10. even if you get someone trying to discuss something legitimately now, they are usually so retarded that they fail to do so in any meaningful capacity (essayfag, for example). 90% of attempts at actual discussion are ignored or met with calling someone a tranny or nigger. this place was never amazing, but it has turned into an absolute shithole and i think i am almost done with it for good.

>>725626802
It’s still good some days.

>>725627493
what day, nigga? WHAT DAY?
i still like 4chan as a whole, some slower boards are actually entertaining and worthwhile. /v/ is a shithole slum, tho.

>>725619048
Im uh making something similar except the main transport is a repurposed non-combat industrial mega vehicle and you instead setup and maintain turrets and traps at each stop as a sort-of freeform tower defense

...in which a race of rock men hit each other really hard and have big feelings over it.

>>725598809 (OP)
Coastal kaiju defence game. 3rd or 1st person co-op mecha shooter/action game where you punch big monsters back into the sea. Evangelion + Titanfall + Pacific Rim vibes. Lots of environmental destruction (damage to business districts will be deducted from your pay), different mecha, weapon loadouts, maybe some cute coworker girls for dating side-game since you cunts love that shit.

>>725616356
I'd play it.

elden ring but coop dungeon crawler

>WW1 RTS
>everything beyond your lines is an annotatable topographic map, even when your boys go over the top or you send out raids and patrols
>mild management aspects, like morale, trenches, dugouts, MG positions, barbed wire, observation posts etc
>indirect command; orders take time to reach your men either via runner or telephone, or in a pinch, flare
>in battle this will naturally take longer as laying telephone wires mid-assault is stupidly dangerous and a runner will have to traverse all the take ground to find the corporal
>absence of information; you can't see everything that your men can, instead you're effectively blind, relying on what your men report and what your superiors let trickle down
>beware that information could be inaccurate, and the map won't automark anything more than easily noticeable things such as the enemy line itself and obvious pillboxes, etc
>this extends into combat, you can only observe basic overtures such as heavy casualties, success, or mixed
>as such you need to carefully consider what orders you give in the heat of battle, whether they're the right judgement, whether they'll still be relevant when recieved, and whether sending the second company in to reinforce but weaken your line to potential counter-attack or casualties from enemy mortars and artillery
>slight micromanagement of your companies, platoons, and sections to manage replacements, rotation, and issue of new equipment
>for instance, receiving rifle grenades and mobile machine guns and deciding whether to equip two platoons or just one with the extras in reserve
>success isn't binary, victory can be pyrrhic, success can be limited, your sector might succeed but have to pull back because others didn't, etc
This is just a rough idea I've had in my head for a while

>no retarded you are the chossen one story
>no pay to play because thats a scam
go steal my idea i support you

a mix of fire emblem and xcom but all the units are female and there is an extensive dismemberment/gore system
if someone dies, retrieving their body becomes a secondary objective, body can be harvested for organs that can be used to heal other units or sell
health is generally low so you are expected to lose units every mission, many of them in spectacular fashion

>>725632153
That's Othercide, almost 1 to 1

>>725632552
Just play sneak king

Sci-fi Disco Elysium ripoff about a robocop who gets shot in the head and unshackled from whatever authority held him captive to their whims.
Big plot twist: The entire thing happens on a colony ship and the authorities are "the good guys" in terms of, it's unclear whether people would survive until the ship reaches its destination if the ship society wasnt lowkey authoritatian and dare i say fascist.
Some political bs throughout, deconstruction of fun sci-fi concepts like consciousness transfer and the protag is actually an earth-born and keeps having skitzo episode where he sees his past earth-life.

A multiplayer shooter with various different gamemodes based around various games.
>A COD-based gamemode where everyone spawns with custom loadouts (with a Halo derivative for collecting weapons strewn about).
>A Team Fortress 2-based gamemode where there are offense, defense, and support classes with fixed loadouts.
>An Overwatch-based hero shooter gamemode where you play as named characters with abilities and ultimates instead of generic soldier types in the other gamemodes.
>A Quake-based gamemode where it's just a fast-paced arena shooter with rocket jumping, dudes holding 9 weapons at once, and power ups.
>A PVE mode either like COD Zombies/Survival, or like Invasion/Horde mode games in Doom and Quake.
>While they're all great on their own, the main selling point is the moddability where elements from these gamemodes can be intertwined with each other like Battlefield Portal.
>Class-based vs heros, COD players vs Quake players, etc.
>The class-based mode, but one player on either team is the "team leader" and is a hero from the hero shooter mode.
>The Halo mode, but one team has regular guys while one person on the enemy team is either a Hero (think Versus Saxton Hale) or a Quake player (The Hidden, but maybe not invisible).
>The PVE gamemode, but everyone is heros, and now it's fucking Serious Sam.
>PVE but some players are heros on the Zombies side and it's now L4D's Versus gamemode.

Doesn't help that all oc threads are now filled with aislop with anons who genuinely don't perceive the difference.

In essence; a co-op imsim. All the interactivity and mechanical depth of something like Deus Ex, Thief or Dishonored (and more!) but with another player (or even multiple). Allowing for varied composition, the team either specializing in one aspect or having each player bring a different skillset to give the team more options.

This is really solid, especially the stuff about the rental matrix. If I encountered that in a game I'd love it.

>>725642219
Fuck, is it over for me?

>>725598809 (OP)
Pokemon arena style game in which you control your one pokemon with its 4 moves. However, the mechanics draw a bit from magika in which you would “prime” one of your moves and then your next action uses that move. So you could prime water gun for your next jump or dash to shoot backwards and propel yourself forward or up. You’d have a pool of ~6-8 moves that you’d select from when picking a character and each would interact with the basic mechanics differently. Generally you’d have a dash, jump, attack, ranged attack, and block to enhance with your moves.

>>725606848
The game should end with the resonance cascade causing xen aliens to pour in.

>>725633149
Sneak King is just baby’s first pants infiltration sim. I’m talkin full Splinter Cell mechanics but your objective isn’t to neutralize targets, it’s to *fill* them. Knockout gas? No-fiber bars. Instead of a silenced pistol you’ve got Taco Bell and a timer. Enemy AI hears a sound behind them, turns around, nothing there… but now their pants feel suspiciously warm. That’s art.
