I am an new guy from Denmark, and I wanted to be part of this community
I will be starting on making an new game soon, when i know what it would be about.
I am thinking maybe something in the medieval setting with knights, kings and queens, Maybe so that you are an noble that have to control your lands (a little like Lords of Aswick, but not quite)
Or maybe even the Viking saga, I have not seen any game about these yet, so I thought it could be very nice!
Or in period of the American Revolution (do not have to be specific about that, but in that period, but with that warfare)
Or WW2.
You are all more that welcome to to comment, on this, which you would prefer and which you do not like
I always love the Viking culture. Beyond their desire of war and steal, they had a very interesting way of culture. They respected women and men alike as “Free men” they had their slaves, yes but their perspective to the world itself was way more complex than others countries at the 500AC
You could mix Lords / Kings with the Viking without problem since the both of them existed in the same time.
That is just my opinion of course, what you do with your game is your doing
If you want make Vikings theme story then the Vikings (TV series) is a good example the theme. Not like same thing you make, but you get some idea how the people worship Norse mythology gods and how they applied it to their daily lives. Also a slave and a free man is treated differently in their point of view. For Odin they shall fight with honor and not fear death for they want to go to Valhalla.
Also the TV show has funny clash when the Vikings invade England and they are baffled by the religion Christianity as they compare it to their Norse Gods. They also had some funny dialog/s when they first see the cross and relics even the monks they say are strange people.
Hm…what about absolutely new ideas for games? Why shouldn`t you to combine styles? For example, you can try to combine Vikings and futuristic style to make the story like in the future they appeared one more time after the Armagedon? And they will have mutation and abnormal level of aggression?) )
yes, maybe something like this, but an accent should be made on their superpower and supermind)) and there will be 2-3 great tribes which want to populate the planet after the mankins extinction to build there their empire. They will fight for their outlook because it is very different from the vision of other tribes
