My Idea: Buisness design competition.
THe competitiors are given a subject, for example flowers. Over the course of the defined period of time they must build a webpage for a new buisness realated to the topic. They must create a logo company name and so forth. Would this be any good?

I see your point Oz. I am going for the gritty/dark angle, i think ill go for "It started out as a small encampment for lowly criminals run booze during the prohibition, The only change now is there's more scum" To over the top, Not enough. This bit would be for the start of the game, main char describing the town why he is were he is. I am now needing help on what he should wear. If you go to the critics lounge you can see what he looks like, and you can read about him in this thread.

This is the main character from my new game seen here: http://www.agsforums.com/yabb/index.php?topic=15143.0
So far i have only started on the face. It started as Erics Template but i modified it a little. I really need his hair fixed on side and back, i also need some hints on how to make it more serious less cartoony. Paintovers definatly welcome.

Je parle anglais parfaitement car c'est ma langue principale, j'apprends seulement le français.  C'est une si belle langue.

J'ai pensé que je me joindrais dedans et parlerais français.  Le fromage est vieux et moldy.  Oui, le poulet porte un chapeau pelucheux.  Je ne parle pas vraiment français, je suis l'Australie.

Holy Shit! :o Modgeulator should tatally win. This is freakin awesome! :o :o :o

I'm partial to "Knightsbridge Chronicles" as the name. It sounds much more serious (and dark) then "There Goes the Neighborhood" (which sounds like the title of a sitcom).
I don't think it matters too much how serious the first game you make is. There will always be people who will kill off your main character in a German Expressionist manner.

Heh! Anyway Im also partial to Knightbridge Chronicles, got a ring to it. To answer your question Odd its a serious game with serious artwork that will be done later, right now i am only working on the story.

SierraFreak all the way!

I have modified the story, having him kill only 43 people and shut down he prison.
I have completed the background for the main character in the first game.

MAIN CHARACTER BAKGROUND

Name: Richard “Rick” Merck
Occupation: Ret. Detective
History: Richard was a first class detective at Knightsbridge PD until two years ago when his wife left him for his best friend and collegue Detective Harrison “Harry” Robinson, the two later left Knightsbridge while Richard stayed. After this his work became sloppy and he became an alcoholic, this lead to an incident were a rookie was killed in an avoidable shootout. Since then he decided to get his life back on track, quit drinking and start a P.I. office.

Plot and first puzzle.

PLOT

Charactors: Richard Merck
Plot: The first game will introduce the town and a few of its inhabitants. It will follow Richard Merck described above as he proceeds to open a P.I. office

Can anyone think of a tagline for Filth City?

Point taken bb, ill change cover up to knockng to start over and try and forget what happened. Most of th dead people are convicts and a few wardens.

Yep. Start hosting the next one.

Thanks LGM. Here is the backstory to the town.
HISTORY
Town name: Knightsbridge
Founded: 1856
Where: On the site of the biggest mass murder in the 1800's.
Why: It was originally a prison for the most vile criminals, the child killer Johnathan Waters was going see the commisioner and killed both gaurds went on a rampage killing 43 (still to much?) people, when he stopped killing everybody he slit his wrists, his body was found with a greatly disturbing grin on is face. The wardens that were not killed shut down the prison and built a small town there to start over and forget what had happened.
Mayor: Floyd Roberts.
Head of police: Wayne Barker


Is there anything I should add/remove?

I decided to start working on it, so far i have a name a banner and a logo. The name is Filth City, the logo is a knife stabbing a black heart and the banner will be shown at the bottom of the post. When im finished posting i shall start work on the history of the city of Knightsbridge (the setting), the charactors and so forth. I will then work on a map of the town, plot for first game and hopefully it should be done by the end of the year. The banner:

We already have a section for people that have started working on their games, but what about a game ideas thread where people work out the kinks in their stories before they begin production. This would help people working on their first games, and even those work on their 10th. Should we have another section on our board?

Hey everybody,
I have dug up this old thread again, not just to pimp my game in production, but to call for a BG artist. If you can do non-cartoony backgrounds and wish to help me, please contact me by PM or by DrRaoul_Duke@@hotmail.com (remove on @)
Regards,


Alec

--EDIT ABOVE--
I have an idea, yes, surprising I know, but I do have one. I like the RON series and how it works (every ep by a different person),
and it full of wonderful humour. My idea id to make another series done in the same way, but... make it much darker and more serious. A city with a red light district ,drug problems, corruption in the police and government, murders and an assortment of many other crimes. I think this would be good for people making who want to break into the serious genre. I'm not saying no comedy but rather, make it more adult less toilet, dark humour and dry wit. Is this a good idea?

Just played both games, YOU ROCK GRUNDY!!!!one11!!!

But I'm not really desperate to see it in colour. It reminds my of film noir, I'd love to see a B/W detective game in that style.

Quite true, we really need a noir detective game. And proper noir not just a game in b/w.

Ah Crap! I thought i had something original. Ah well.
