What Game should I write.

Im totaly rubbish at making my mind up about anything, for example Ive swapped back and forth between PureB, b3d, DarkPro and Bmax, (and c++ 6)

And as you may know, never finished anything, (sept my LOM editor), just start loads of things, then start somthing else.

SO. Public vote
I have five game ideas (Well they are probably the same idea with five different skins) These are the games each idea would be most compared to.

1) Colonization (Obvious Close remake)
2) Alpha Centuri (Lot different, not obviously related)
3) k240 (Lot Different, not obviously related)
4) Lords of Chaos (Lot different, but close enough to be LOC II)
5) Lords of Midnight (Obvious Close Remake)

As you can see these are very similar games, and most of you probably would describe 1 and 2 as the same. They are all turn based (cept K240 but mine will be), but if you have played them you can see what the fundimental differences are between them

The vote starts now, and the finish date is Midnight GMT Sun. It will be binding, (that is I promise to do the game Idea that wins) And give weekly worklogs

I think you should pick the game you're most likely to finish. Pick the one you know you can finish. Pick the one that you think your current programming knowledge can handle.

Er, anyway, I would code a Colonization clone simply because that game owned when it was in it's prime. Personally, I still think it owns.

:)

5) ( Lords of Midnight ) Please.

??!

Don't suppose you mean K240?

'And as you may know, never finished anything'

With that in mind, go for something modest in scope. Better to underestimate your motivation than overestimate...

@gfk yep i did
@mad they are all modest in scope
@Amon I think I have the ability to do them all

>SO. Public vote

I vote for option number 6, a Pong remake!

Oooh oooh I wanna see what the UB40 game involves!

I've only played Alpha Centauri but I don't vote for it becuase that would probably take years to finish... heck just testing that friggin game takes years!!! I can't stop!

Create a pong game with DX-Ball blocks :P

K240 / Utopia. Obviously.

Would like Lords of Midnight, especially since you've finished the editor.

Instead of just promising to do the game idea that wins, how about promising to finish programming (for once in your life!) the game idea that wins? ;)

Why not something original?

I suggest something smaller in scope that all of the above so you'll actually finish it.

What Grey said.

no.. aim big!! :)

and go with a souped up version of K240..
I remember a mate and me spending several hours playing that game.. :D

Doesn't matter what you make, or what language, as long as you FINISH IT!

All of them as subgames in a much bigger game! ;O)

It depends on whether you code for fun or profit.

If it's for profit then, as others have already said, choose whatever you have the best chance of finishing. If it's for fun, then choose whatever seems to you to be the most fun and interesting, regardless of complexity, size or the improbability of finishing it.

Personally, I'd choose option 5 - the Lords of Midnight remake.

So we need to choose which game you won't finish ??
