Ideas and stuff for a new game... a VIDEO game.

[Maze]

That's the plan. You can't really see the rims when you're playing but I want the speed to be a part of the gameplay.

[rayner23]

Will the player be able to get vorpal gangrene or dragon syphillis?

[Maze]

Probably not. The closest to it would be a power-down that if you hit, slows you down. Unless I can figure something good.

[rayner23]

How cool would it be if this game had elements of Spy Hunter in it? Another larger wagon appears in front of you and you get missles!

[Maze]

That would be cool. I'll see what I can do. I'm working on the shooting mechanics right now.

Other than that:


                              That communist enough?

hahahahahahahahaha

Wow, that is one really communist buffalo. Their leaders should have big old Marx beards.

You are an impressive individual, Maze.

Thanks... I think?

Not having any buffalos around this 'ere Montreal city, I had to look them up on google. The breeds look quite different. I specifically decided to take this guy as a model:


Look at him; plotting, scheming, conspiring. That motherfucker is up to NO good.

[Tadanori Oyama]

It is indeed. They are a sneaky bunch. Which is why I feel kind of bad about say this: You've got the wrong animal there. That's a Cape Buffalo, from Africa.

The "buffalo" of the American west is the American Bison (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:American_bison_k5680-1.jpg). It's a whole seperate species that's known for having a vastly thicker coat than buffalo and for having smaller horns. That's why I thought the beards would be funny.

[Maze]

Son of a... Haha. Well, what can I say, Africa's got way cooler buffaloes. Anyway, it's just a concept design so it doesn't really matter I've got the wrong buffalo since this picture has no use and won't look like the little running buffaloes I'll be using in the actual game. But it's good to know the American buffaloes have pussy horns instead of the vorpal horns of devastating doom +5 the cape buffaloes have.

[Tadanori Oyama]

Indeed. Bison horns actually look alot like ears if you don't know what your looking for.

I only point it out because, obviosusly, historically correct content will be vitally important to the game.

[Maze]

Yeah, especially since you'll be seeing Lee Harvey Oswald lead a team of skilled ninjas only to get roundhouse kicked in the face by Abe himself.

Historical inaccuracies is what I'm all about.

In the video game Call of Chtulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth, you see Hoover, the former FBI director and international douche and have to rescue him from falling into a pit of molten gold. You get the game over screen if you let him die and on some forums some people complained about not being able to let him die. The rebuttal was, of course, "Don't you realize he's an HISTORICAL figure?." And my argument for it is: who gives a shit about historical accuracies in a game where you shoot Dagon with a cannon and fuck up mother Hydra.

[Tadanori Oyama]

Ah, that was a fun game.

I've considered designing a game that really showed off the "freedom" of choice. Something like a Call of Duty game but on the Axis side where the player would likely not want to do whatever the mission was. Give them the option of denying their orders, if they wanted to, and have them face a historically accurate responce.

Heck, could do the same thing for, say, a British soldier in a World War One game.

Or, you know, any soldier.

But I'm getting off topic, back to the Marxist Bisons.

[Dawnsteel]

to rescue him from falling into a pit of molten gold

You should save him because he hasn't earned such an epic death.

Q: What happens when a former president turns evil?



A: Shit gets real.
