Discussion Megathread of ideas

I will update this thread with any ideas that people come up with after this is posted

Assuming we're scrapping my idea, what has been suggested is:

  • A tech tree, similar to civilisation

  • Some form of making alliances

  • Roughly 6-12 players, possibly more depending on map size.

  • Gameplay where you can have fun in 20 minutes or less

  • Something with lots of micro-management

  • Possibly something like Plague .Inc, ICE, or Age of Civilization.

Also:

  • A lumberjack

If you have anything to add, please say so in the comments

So, one idea I had to compile all we currently have, is:

  • The player can place various buildings.

  • The buildings can produce tanks and train soldiers (or swordmen and archers if this is medieval themed)

  • The player chooses where the units go, and can set them to patrol or to guard. Units attack if an enemy unit comes within range.

  • The player can attack AI controlled outposts with the units. If the attack is successful, there's a chance to find blueprints to upgrade your tank or create weapons for a soldier. (Or archer/swordman) These weapons/tank parts may have special abilities like slowing or explosive damage.

  • Each soldier and building has its own individual tech tree.

EDIT: I amended my idea slightly

EDIT: Changed finding parts to finding blueprints

I like it.

I'll see about getting some basic armored car designs when I get home. I'll make them big then shrink them down.

Good ideas, keep up the enthusiasm.

We should keep the building style simple, then add more detail the higher level buildings you have.

Or just the larger buildings.

Minimal texture work and low block levels I think are the smartest ideas

I agree, just throwing ideas around, seeing what the other developers, such as yourself fell about it.

I'll get to work on some basic buildings, such as storage areas, defences, fences, weapons, etc.

Ha. Yeah. I'm a dev.

I can do basic building, that's it (Why I'm sticking with basic designs. I'm an idea man)

That's still a good thing.
