Game ideas

So i have no idea what kind of game i should do. Im a bit tired of the same old platformers with nothing special in it. So now i ask you for help what to do.
It can be a platformer but it has to be really special, and no 3d.

Thank you.

Make a platformer about a blob. It can be sliced into pieces, squished into a pancake, that sorta thing. It could be a platformer/puzzle.

P.S: I drew you. Check out my drawing topic.

It's time someone did a REAL 3D game. But thats probably out of the question so I think yo should strive to make a GOOD RPG. Or maybe a racing game. hatever you do put in muliplayer capabilities its makes all the difference. Unless you do an RPG which in that casemultiplayer wold be weird. Meh try whatever.

LocoRoco, anybody?

I haven't never played it :P . also, I wonder why my username looks similar (LocoRoco/LocoRoo)?

me and you think the same. i was thnking of a shape shifting game also!

The problem is, 3d takes a LOT longer to do than a 2d game, not only does the amount of time it takes to do models and animate them (including the scene, skybox, etc) triple the time it takes to sprite, but you also have a new dimension entered into the game, more open-ness.

Also, where-as Clickteam and Game Maker products are point-and-click event based (even though GM has a script), the very easiest programming for 3D is in code and gets extremely complicated.


So, as usual, it's the same reason as to why fangames get canned - too much time and effort, and 3D increases that tremendously.

Make a maze game. But not just any maze game. It would have more than just mazes! It would have races, mini games, Multiple outcomes, an Overworld so you can select the stage you want to go to, and platformer/RPG elements!

An RPG, We haven't seen one in YEARS!!!


Even so, I'm making one to bring RPGs to MFGG!

I might do that actually, that's a great idea.

By real 3D do you mean GM's D3D functions?

Or like, C++?

You know im making an MLSS style game to, i hope thats ok for you.

How about Princess Peach gets captured so Mario Jumps to the conclution that Bowser took her when really it was someone else (no pun was ment to be said)

Like in paper mario...
And a dont want storys i want gameplay.

make a syobon action game

make a scrolling beat-em up like the ones at arcades

Well, this is an idea I'm currently working on, but mix genres. For instance, I'm working on a Mario fangame that plays like...say...Castlevania or Metroid might. Mario has a life meter instead of mushrooms and the like, enemies have hit points--so a simple stomp may defeat a Goomba, but other enemies may take a bit more abuse. Think of it as Mario meets LoZ 2 or something.

Of course, it's a tough idea, and I'm still working it out.

Rise of The Mushroom Kingdom with Luigi's death changed to Peach-Abuse, anyone?
Also, my idea is the best. NOW GO MAKE IT. Thank you . Jeez, why does a smiling smiley have the word "lol" in the middle of the :'s?

I've had this awesome game in mind (just haven't had the time to do it).
STORY anyway a goomba has been in mushroom kingdom jail for years and then all of a sudden he finds a hole and escapes.
Game idea Your a goomba with a changable weapon rampaging through the mushroom kingdom destroying anything and everything. Your level grade is decided on how much money you've cost the kingdom. DOESN"T THAT SOUND AWESOME!!!

We need a rail-traveling shooter.
