I need YOU..... to pick one

[Beezlebub]

1 or 3. I’m biased in favor of 3.

Alright first of all a big thank you to everyone who took the time to respond, we have real big time luck to have such an active and nice community.
I have read all the responses with pleasure and I’ve decided to narrow it down to number 1 and 3.
Then again I have to pick one for now. After much consideration, I chose to stick with story number one since it is sort of my love child and because story 3 isn’t fully developed yet. So I am going to stick with story number 1 and if all goes well I plan on story 3 becoming my next Titel. Thanks again for everyone, if you’re interested in updates I’ll make sure to keep in touch with you. Have a nice day !

I really like options three and four I love medieval fantasy and I don’t think I’ve seen any good prehistoric games yet.

The problem with a tournament game is that it means you have to win every step of the way. So, either the game will be easy to lose (and not fun) or you’ll always win, and thus your choices won’t matter as much. If the story mainly followed the sportsman’s personal life, with the tournaments as a secondary thing, it might be better, but I still wouldn’t recommend it.

I don’t know very much about rugby, but I do like Australia, hmm…
I also did like Slammed! but I do hope the (fictional) international rugby league or whatever the governing body of that sport is will be a bit more tolerant and respectful of basic human rights then real-life FIFA is.

Most athletes don’t win all the time, not even the successful ones. You’d have to perform well-enough, yes but I don’t think that is really objectionable.

@ParrotWatcher

I would say that this is possibly the most interesting of the three. While I don’t dislike fighting in fantasy games, I note that a lot of them are very stat-heavy (which is usually pretty bad for enjoyment), so a story that’s more relationships-based (and easy) sounds fun. I would say that I don’t think this would be too difficult to do, even as your first project, especially given its low dependence on stats.

What I’m always concerned about with medieval setting games focusing on family and relationships is the possibility of forced heterosexual marriage.

Personally I differ from @ParrotWatcher and @TSSL here in that I’m not very interested in the fourth one as the first one seems a much better premise for a new and fresh survival type game.

@TSSL

To be fair, I don’t think we really know what the concept is from the brief paragraph we got. Medieval fantasy is a pretty broad topic, and since it’s described as lore-heavy, it could go in quite a few directions. We don’t really know the nature of the society, the main character’s background, anything about the issues at stake… etc. So I’d just say it can be quite the diverse genre (even though it isn’t always very diverse in practice) and could be quite new and interesting. It depends on what @TheNobleOne plans to do with it.

This is certainly true and I won’t judge before I’ve seen it, but based on what we know thus far 1 and 2 seem the most original here.

I would definitely say the Rugby one being a big fan, but the first one sounds good too.

[RedDawg]

I’d say the second or third. The first one has a Jack London vive that can be hard to pull off effectively. The second one will hit with most sports fans and I think it’s a good starting spot. The third is a popular and well loved choice but I’d be wary if you’re new. The fourth one just doesn’t click with me, that’s just opinion though so if you want to do it, go for it

3. I can never get enough medieval fantasy and one focused on interpersonal relationships and management would be immensely fun though I’ll agree with the other, more experienced folks in the thread. It’s very code heavy and you may want to familiarize yourself with the system first.

4. This sounds like a very fresh idea and I’ve been dying for a prehistoric game! Some people did bring up an interesting point though in ensuring that it doesn’t turn into a survival game.

[GamerDude]

I want the first one! Maybe do scenes where we play as the dogs?

[Hoonie523433]

NUMBER 3 seem like the most interesting one.

[Emzan]

Man I really like both the rugby one and the fantasy one, they seem like really neat ideas
The rugby cause I’m Australian (yay) and it’s not gender locked, and I like rugby
But I’m a sucker for fantasy
It’s a real toss up

[wolfmarelalala]

I really really like gold rush stories,but since it’s gender locked,I’ll choose the third one

[Spaul98]

Number Three sounds amazing.
