Hey Mate! First of, this colours are freaking horrible! My eyes get sore from looking at this xD Are there not any neutral colors like Light blue or white?

Please, lose the orange!!!
I've got some FPS stuff together (my first ever game!) if you want to use that.

This blue alien theme is alright!

Thx, much better.

Yeah i like the mild alien theme

Yeah i made a showcase section if you want to post it there and we can see it

Some of mine ideas are this.

3rd Person medieval fantasy RPG. Something like the mount&blade warband combat system, where you use your mouse to swing. Making this multiplayer with sandbox elements, like building your house/set up a town. With puzzling quests that force you to think. It would be able to host a server and then play it with some friends.

This is a very good base idea, as we can build lots and lots upon it, like something crazy making a huge world with severals continents/islands with ships and naval warfare also.

Other than that I'm open to many types of ideas, but I personally like the RPG genre the most. Games with great story/quests/puzzles combined with modern gameplays like FPS, RTS or such

I'm going to publish my FPS on kongregate, for the contest. i've just made my 6th level.
BTW, there is an old demo there called 'Saboteur Demo'. It's only got one type of enemy, weapon etc and is not very good.

I think fantasy rpgs may be a bit overused, i think we should travel a bit back in time (ancient rome) or a bit forward (Industrial Britan) i personally think an industrial type rpg is very original (we can also make it large) we could make it like a sherlock holmes type setting with fancy clothes, and stuff that you can buy like clothes, carriages, horses, early motor vehicle. Kind of have it like a social game with rpg features it can be third person as well. And maybe have like a ranking system like when you start hte game you are a peasant, then you can increase in rank wich will unlock new areas, and the max rank is "royalty" witch will let you purchase things like castles, fountains, own a business, and stuff...i will work on a rank system

Yeah Medieval Fantasy RPG's are really cliché haha!

I'm all for something like it of older age, like in the Ancient Rome or something. When we get up in some newer ages, I am afraid my modelling skills will not be that good to make complex structures haha

What about a Futuristic RPG with melee energy weapons or something? Just watched the whole damn star wars trilogies haha! xD

Actually, ancient Rome and Greece have been used a lot recently. perhaps not for RPGs but for MMO games like Caesery. A futuristic one has not really been touched, though.

Well, I think we need a good solid idea that everybodys like before starting anything. Maybe creating a small game document, explaining the core mechanics and stuff

I'll jsut finish my FPS, and then I'll be right with you.

Yeah, I'm thinking about a futuristic ancient type game With melee weapons, like a sword with a Energy blade or something.

I dont really like the idea of putting laser guns in a game, because they are used in almost every damn futuristic movie,game and book

Yeah, i like both the Industrial age Rpg, just cause its never been used. Cause there is already like SWTOR, Star wars galaxies, etc. but both good.

Yes, I see. I guess we would need to create a really original story, with little to no connections to Star Wars

New Idea!

Something like a Post Apocalyptic Futuristic but Ancient RPG?

Like in the far future, the planet has been bombarded by an alien race or something like that.

I mean the world should be in ruins, and you need to rebuild it together with the faction that you choose! Like if you choose to play for Faction A, you need to build statues of A gods and stuff, all while at war with other factions

Yeah i just had a picture in my head of like 19th century london, factorys and smoke, with players just like running around interacting. And stuff like doing quests and leveling up.


i made a system :p
level up by doing quests, dueling, etc.


Peasant 1-10
Common Folk 10-20
Gentleman/Lady-20-35
Nobleman/Woman-35-50
Duke/Dutchess-50-75
Royalty-75 and up cap at 80

HAHA, rofl, havent seen that one before xD Thanks for showing me

Why do they have to be lasers? You can use tesla cannons, or take an existing weapon (e.g. flamethrower) and make it more awesome (blue and green flames).

Aaaaw, the leveling system is so cliché! How about another dynamic level system, that allows you to allocate skill points or something? Like you have some skills and you decide where to put the points in, like a Gun Slinger skill and a Detective Skill The more points you put in each skill, the better you get, but there is a skillpoint cap, so you cant get to max every single skill?

Havent thought of that xD

But Lettuce, I dont think the "Kill X amount of Y Guys" Quest type is very interresting. I played old games like Runescape and Fallout a couple of years ago, and the quests were more like puzzles who forced you to think, instead of just making some braindead killing spree

This what you have in mind? Around the early 1900, Pre-War ofcourse?

That is what springs into my mind, around the Sherlock Holmes era

Characters like these?
