Title: Chain Game
Post by: Perigrin on March 21, 2015, 09:55:30 pm

guys, i just had a brilliant idea. my idea is, we take some FPS with a level/campaign editor, and go in turns making segments of the game. like, i make ch1, next guy makes 2, ect, and we build off of what the last guy made. so we are making a game together, one by one. like, lets say i make it about a rabbit named Fredrick shooting his way out of Lapine hell, the next guy makes one level of this, and the rest of Fredrick roaming around an alien world, ect ect. so we are building up a story and a game. might be a lot of fun.

It sounds great on paper. We'd need to decide on some sort of development platform that's easy to pick up, but still has a certain degree of freedom to create the weird shit. It'd need to actually be free of charge, too.

Not much comes to mind personally, maybe Game Maker or Scratch. I know Processing is a pretty good language if you're comfortable with the basics of Java. Any other ideas?

Hmm... i always loved making stages in Age Of Empires but that gets really complex fast. Spelunky?
Doom would be too hard.

I could totally make an stage in AOE with scripted events and fun stuff, and even costumized characters. But that's all i know MORE IDEAS! Because i like were this is going.

oh, wait, i think i have AOE. might be a good idea to do a strategy game, as strategy level makers tend to be WAY easier. im good with that, lets see if we can get a few more people.

hmmmmmm.... so i guess im going to be writing the first chapter of the chain game. so, what FUCKING game engine do we use......
well, there are good things about using a strategy game...... but then again, a sidescroller might be good..........
Minecraft adventure Map?
wait
NEVERWINTER NIGHTS!!!!!
an easy to use, fun campaign creator, which i will find a pirated version of for those who dont own it (which you should, its a pretty good game, especially the Underentide
and Underdark campaigns.)


EDIT:Damn, im going to have to hunt up my CD keys again. fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.........
