I'll write my idea here for now instead of clustering up the game forums. The ideas such as names and whatever are open for suggestions. Take the principle of the idea in your head and don't pick on the details. I will work that out ones you guys say that the idea has potential and will even create art assets.
-------
Name of Game: Scrapheap Arena Robots
Game type: Multiplayer FPS
Game Engine: Unity (for now)
Synopsis
Instead of having a realistic shooter I want to create a more "less serious" approach with little combat robots that duke it out in a Arena. It should have the feeling of a gladiator game where it is all about the game. Like many games all robots will have a standard layout. Arena's are symmetrical (most of the time). There is no such thing as personal score, the game will be team based and so will be the score. You could see it as a Teambased FPS Trackmania
The art style will be simple to give more room for creating extras. The art style is similair to the upcoming title of Planetary Annihilation which give it a bit of a cartoony look. Obviously it won't be exactly the same but there is no need for over the top complicated textures. Neither there won't be large amount of polygons. This is easy to create, maintain and will run on any computer. Including the map will have repetitive elements so that making new maps is easy. With enough development even custom maps will be an option
Weapons of the robots is a Main Gun and A Mini grenade launcher. No knifes and pistols.
The upcoming ideas are stretch goals and they don't have to make it up all the way to the end. It is up to us how far we want to go.
Stretch Goal 1 - Win Conditions
Spoiler:
Stretch Goal 2 - Customise maps
See Arena and Art style, there is not much I can add to it beside the fact that each map needs a location for spawns, flags & beacons to allow all kind of game plays with different win conditions. But even if we have 10 maps created by the developers, it will give a huge amount of game options anyway. So this isn't even needed so much.
Stretch Goal 3 - Customise Weapons
We don't have to go this far, but if you like the ideas so far... we could.
Spoiler:
Stretch Goal 4 - Customise Robot
Spoiler:
This is my idea for now... Let me know if you guys like it and work it out.
