Which Game Would You Like To See Made?

Well, if you aren't worried about breaking the law, then refer to point #2:

QuoteThe best AGS games have been original stories, with the exception of a few that had an experienced team of people working on them, which you don't. Even if you could come up with a ripoff of one of those, it would be better than using the original.

Or just completely ignore it again, you know, whatever floats your boat. I think a Doug game would be cool, like the Simpsons game, but statistically if you make a Doug game it would probably look terrible because most new people who come here don't have the graphic art skills that are required to make something proffessional look NOT terrible. If you made your own storyline with your own characters there wouldn't be anything professional to compare it to, therefore it wouldn't seem as crappy. If you prove me wrong by showing that you are capable of drawing those kinds of proffessional graphics, then nevermind.

FINE ! FINE! I wanted to make a game that people would enjoy...but seeing as I can't because of copyrighted issues, then I will think of MY OWN creation...but let me remind you that it will NOT be an easy task!

Calm down a little Phil, it's ok. We all know how hard it is to create our own stories.

That's what the forums are for. You asked our opinion and we gave it, there's no need to get angry over it unless something about what was said really upset you that much.

Poke around the forums and ask for help when needed and it'll be an easier task than not having anyone to talk to at all.

We know it's not an easy task. Most people here are struggling to make original games. But to quote Tom Hanks: "Of course it's hard. If it wasn't hard, then everyone would do it. It's the hard that makes it great."

Of course, he was talking about professional baseball in "A League of Their Own," but the point is still valid.

Squinky · Mon 19/01/2004 21:36:16

I think you should make a game based on "A league of their own"

Just make sure theres ninjas and pirates somewhere...

Honestly, none of those titles are quite as good as "Microleague Wrestling".

It will feature Mr P. who takes his team of mercenaries to visit Mr Rogersons and force him to pay for protection. Mr Rogersons tries to shoot them all down, then quickly changes shoes before diving into an imaginary universe where a trolly is the only form of transportation and the king is KING FLAMING GAY. Michael Keaton will make a cameo, not as Batman- but as a behind the scene employee of Mr Rogerson who gives him the finger amidst the gunfight and walk off set to find a job on a sitcom or soap opera. He then falls in love with Lou Diamond Philips and they make babies... into pies. Apple.

Now that game was classic... wish I still had it.

But reading Phils post, I'm not really surprised about his return and now his asking about "names" for a game he wants to make... $:-\$

Hmm.. breaking that down, you think people won't enjoy a game not based on already existing copyrights, hence, "wanted to make a game people would enjoy...but seeing as I can't because of copyrighted issues..." Dude, if games based on pre-existing copyrights were the only games people enjoyed, then 98% of games wouldn't exist. Making a game is still hard even when you rip graphics, so don't complain that it isn't an easy task. You're writing to people who have already made games for fucks sake. Why even gripe about it? If that's the kind of dedication you have, give up now, and it'll save you the wasted half-hour you spend on your game before giving up later. Plus, once again, copyright issues aren't the only reason to use your own ideas.

I try not to flame you, then you go and make me do it anyway. Why can't you say something that doesn't make me want to hit you and mess up your pretty face?

Where the crap did you get that pic at?

Meowster · Mon 19/01/2004 22:14:57

Why do you always gotta make me hit you, baby?!

Don't you remember me sweetheart?

We could have been together...

edit: Sorry, i didn't see yours when I posted.

Raggit · Mon 19/01/2004 22:43:18

I'm all for totally original ideas. But yes, they are more work.
But no matter how you look at it, making a game is making a game and it's tough work. You just gotta hack it out, so I'd suggest picking the game YOU'D like to see get made. Come up with an original plot that excites you and then if you're inspired by it, you can make it work.

Robert Eric · Mon 19/01/2004 23:06:21

Come here for ideas, they say "think of your own." Think of one on your own, a lawyer will lay the smackdown on you. What do you do? Go back in time and prevent the person who thought of the one you did, and kill him. That way, it never existed, and your are free to use it.

PhilRoberts2004 · Mon 19/01/2004 23:36:35

Uhhhh...no I don't remember you. Sorry...my mind has drawn a blank.

Hmmm... I was always a fan of Third Rock from the Sun. That might be a cool idea. And I was a fan of the Thundercats when I was little... that might be cool to see too.

Seinfeld, on the other hand, probably wouldn't be a good idea. I kinda like Seinfeld, but it seems as though others on this forum aren't as fond of Seinfeld. Even though it would be interesting.

Minimi · Tue 20/01/2004 14:26:56

What the crap do you need my opinion for Phil?? Just think of something, make it, and give us the link to the game. What do you care about whether we like it, or not??? There will always be people that don't like it. For example Flashbax, one of the most loved and hated games...( I LOVE IT

) and "foz" just made the game, without crappy threads asking about WHAT SHOULD I DO??? I tell you, if you can't come up with something better than a tv-show idea then you can better not start working on any game.

I'm not saying im doing everything good, (actually when do i do anything good??), but I did learn my lesson, that game-developing requires alot of effort. I can also just make in 3 minutes a list of cool titles... look at this :

Hey guys wich one should I make?

The hairy fuzzball and the cube adventure 2004
Time4Whine
Why am I who I am?
Mirror Mirror : Part 0 - Quest for The Mirror
UFO Freaks
Where should I leave my dipers? Part 2
Kalabamatoektoek Island
DrunkenFish
Little Large Adventure

ohw wait, crap... im already working on 14 games, and cancelled over 20....*sigh*

To answer the original question...

I'm not sure if PR04 will be up to it, but if someone uses the TCPIP plugin and makes an AGS Spy vs Spy clone (lets call it Agent versus Agent for copyright reasons) then that would be teh cool.

Joseph DiPerla · Wed 21/01/2004 02:26:56

I say do either a "24" Game, a Transformers game, A Star Wars game, or a Terminator game.

Those are my choices.
