A Kind-of Group Game Idea

[Sutebi]

I have had an idea for a game that would be sort of a group thing. I guess it's kind of like a competition meets an adventure game. If you've played Crimson room and Viridian room you will understand this.

The premise of the game is the main character, whatever his story may be, starts in a locked room. He has to solve a couple of puzzles in the room to unlock the only door out of the room. But once he opens the door he just discovers another room with even more puzzles needed to be solved in order to unlock the new door. This would go on until a story is finished or a certain ammount of rooms are finished and the game ends.

The way it would work though, is one AGSer makes the first room. He releases this room and the first other AGSer who unlocks the door gets to make the next room (if he/she so chooses). So the first room maker gives the source files for the game to the next person and it continues like this until the game reaches the point at which the game is finished.

Example: Joe makes the first room and releases it to the "public." Frank is the first one to unlock the door, so Joe sends the game files to Frank and Frank makes the second room. When finished, Frank releases the game and Mary is to first to unlock the door in the second room. Frank sends the files to Mary, and it goes on like this until ten rooms are made (just threw out a random number). And we have a nice little game with rooms made by ten different AGSers.

So, what do you guys think?

Suprisingly, Tanker had (almost) the exact same idea.

Looks like it didn't go too well... but perhaps with you starting it, this project might actually receive some praise and get started.

I think there should be a menu for it so you dont have to play the previous rooms if you dont want to. If you keep on adding on, after 5 or 6 rooms you would be bored of playing the first rooms over and over just to get to the new room

What about a password system?
