Inspiration for a game

@Crayshen
I have thought about a game where the goal is carving out your own country in the Golden Triangle (between Laos, Myanmar and Thailand).

So did you decide what your game will be about, Newbie?

@Bastiaan There isn’t a lot of landmass in the Golden Triangle.

@ScarletGeisha It doesn’t have to be a large country :wink:
Anyway, basing your game on real countries and politics might be offensive to some.

No seriously, the landmass is just the shores of the three countries. And there isn’t a lot of water space in the triangle either. I know, I’ve been there many times.

And also, it’s pure appropriation. Thailand currently isn’t in the best relationship with Myanmar and Laos.

Hm, you know, I have yet to find a choose your own adventure game in the style if a Western, perhaps you could work with that?

Mmm how about sons of anarchy game base around all 4 seasons and u have to start as prospect trying to get pach in

There is this parody of role playing games set in medieval times called “Advunced Peasants and Crapmongers” (Google it). You could make a darkly humoristic game out of it.

some one should make a game about witch’s i would love that :slight_smile:

• Tiny idea: how about a game that endows you—and you alone—with psychic powers? Survive, conquer, manipulate, be altruistic, whatever strikes the MC fancy.
• Alternately, the MC could be a supercomputer reaching consciousness trying to stay undiscovered while it builds powers and make allies.
• Another possibility would be to have a MC who is (friend or foe with) an alien and will want to denounce, kill, chase, save, or hide it from the MIB? A little like a Space Opera version of the Daring Mermaid Expedition, perhaps.
• Finally, how about a hacker MC? Just running around, either as a solo vigilante, a dangerous anarchist, a curious adventurer, a plotting genius or a careless youngster just using programs that he doesn’t half understand?
• Last idea : Tron. Must I say more?

How about a game where you play a Bully, one of the popular kid, and you favorite victim is your ex-best friend, Bobby. You and Bobby were best friend in middle school, but when you and him go to high school , one of the cool kid said that if you want to hang out with them, you have to beat Bobby up, and you did, and you and him were no longer friend . And every time he go to school, you gonna beat him up, steal his lunch money, shove him in a locker, etc… and also Bobby was kind of a social outcast, so he only have two friend : you ( before you betrayed him to hangout with the popular kid ) , and this one girl ( gonna be one of the MC possible love interest ) who start to hangout with him after he got bully by you and the other kid, and at the start of the game : she hate you, like extremely hate you for betrayed Bobby.

And about a year after you and Bobby were no longer friend, you now is one of the most popular kid in school, you in the football team, always got invited to the best parties in school and also have a girlfriend who was kind of a basic bitch, this character was basically Rachel McAdams in “Mean Girl”. And Bobby start to skip school more and more . And one day, while eating lunch, you see Bobby walk in the lunchroom, and pull out a submachine gun and kill everyone, including you ( That escalated quickly ) .

But then you wake up, realize it just a nightmare. Or is it ? You start to realize that it not just a dream, but actually a vision, a moment in the future ( kinda like the vision all the Protagonist in Final Destination have ) And the story gonna take place 3 week before the school shooting and you, have to find a way to try to stop Bobby from killing everyone . And the more you trying to help Bobby and become friends with him again, more people in school, especially your friends , the popular kids gonna hate you .

And if this story somehow become a game, I imagine it gonna have 3 ending : The Good Ending ( you successfully convince Bobby to stop his plan ) The Bad Ending ( you join him and kill everyone in school, together ) and the True Ending ( you kill Bobby to stop him from killing everyone )

And sorry if my grammar are terrible, or this idea either too dark or just plain stupid :smile:

Guys This topic is Dead!

You must put these (good) game ideas of you as another topic!

Nope. It is fine for them to post it here. The ‘no thread necromancy’ rule only counts for WiP’s. (though there was a more recent game idea thread)
