I need a game idea

Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/I need a game idea

I've got a reasonably nice terrain engine in the works and I fancied doing something different with it, and i'm open to ideas because i've been so busy doing stuff with vertices I havn't stopped to ask myself what I want to do with it!

The landscapes are reasonablylarge and well populated with scenic objects (placeholders atm), a sample can be downloaded here: http://www.bansheestudios.com/ftp/HydraTest3.zip

I'm not averse to multiplayer (which I find in many ways is simpler than making an AI) and I have a reasonably good particle system. I might also add a day/night cycle if the game warrants it.

I am limited in media of course but I do have reasonable sets of WW2, modern day models and scifi models. I lack the talent to make fresh humans but can produce reasonable vehicles.

I'm looking for a relatively simple game idea that's a little more than just capture the flag or deathmatch. I want the game to make full use of the large maps and good cover.

Any suggestions please?

I thought you were already working on a tank game, or did you finish that?

There's two you might be thinking of, Paradise Island which i've taken as far as it's going to go and Wyvernrage which I showed a screeny of the other day where the tank was just a convenient model to work with whilst working on effects.

I've had an idea at last, you'll see soon :)

if you aren't completely sold on an idea Becky, most likely it will fade into abandonment as soon as the first bit of problems arise...

if you don't have an idea that obsesses you, then don't start any game project... at least i wouldn't...

i'd just make lil demo thingees until the big one pops into my head...

isn't there a game or 3d app you've always wanted to do?

hey... good luck... lemme take a quick look at your terrain demo...

I think you should sell your terrain engine/system thing.
