Well the multiplayer part was the most fun so one should start from there. As it introduced buildings and a base I'd shift the focus more towards a Battlezone <-> Giants fusion...

What also might work is a merge with one of my favorites: Sacrifice. The art styles of both games also slightly match I guess...


It was one of the first games to feature DOT3 Bump-Mapping which was badass back in the days...

I'm thinking on a sidescroller where you move a character with keys and you can draw some lines with the mouse. You can jump on those lines and they dissapear after a while, when you leave them or so. The goal of the game is to reach the exit gate in many small sceneries. The lines can be of different materials to change their behavior. Imagine an ice line witch you can draw as a slope down with a final slope up that makes you jump far after accelerating from the top. Or a rubber line that makes you bounce faster than the incoming speed. You can also use those lines for avoiding, trapping or killing the scenery enemies. The drawing ability is limited by length and you can increase it picking up items by the way. There might be a highscore table for each level based on the length of drawed lines.

@txesmi:
This would be freakin awesome with a graphics tablet

@txesmi: Do you know this Kirby game where you draw lines to move on, very similar to what you've described in your post?

I didn't know it. I wouldn't have bet that was an original idea

I love this little android gamee that uses a line drawing system too

Reminds me a little bit of Trine (2) where you also have some limited abilities to draw platforms or "crates" when playing as Wizard...

A first person game where you wake up in a rather random position in the woods (which includes mountains) of British Columbia in Canada and your goal is to survive. You do so by hunting small animals, running from bears and other big predators, by fishing and the like. You can sleep in self-made wooden tents, in abandoned cabins or in the open, you can use old rowboats to travel the rivers but no other human is to be found.
Although the player is not really told about this there is a story to discover which explains why all people are gone (or only in BC), maybe he can even achieve an ultimate goal and finish the game if he so desires.

Just posted this in the Feaocder (?) thread and will paste it here for the sake of completion:
Game idea:
You play a ghost/ demon and have to run from human beings with flashlights (you can see their cones) and you can only kill them from behind/ if they don't see you, this should be suspenseful enough if done right. To reduce the amount of work that goes into level design you could build a 2/3 floors high mansion where the ghost/ demon lives in and wave after wave more people (that want to see/ hunt/ kill the demon) enter the building from different doors and windows.
Alternatively this could be extended to open air levels (woods) or tunnels and dungeons, obviously with or without wave-based gameplay.

Superku@ you got pretty nice idea for multiplayer game This could be something like "The Hidden" source mod (almost invisible player and lots of marines, with rifles and gadgets). I'm thinking about making something small and similar with Acknex in the near future, it's pretty intense for a multiplayer game I guess! Thank you for an idea.

You are welcome, and good luck with the project, looking forward to play a demo soon!
