GAME IDEAS
Yeah, so I didnt see any 'Share Your Game Ideas' here. Might have missed it, so if i did, lock.

Anyways, the title pretty much sums it up. Post your game ideas here. Anything here WILL NOT BE USED BY ANYONE ELSE UNLESS PERMISSED BY THE IDEA CREATOR.

IF YOU GIVE SOMEONE SOME ADVICE, PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THEY ARE NOT OBLIGATED TO CREDIT YOU UNLESS YOU OPENLY SAY SO.

PLEASE, COMMENT ON THESE IDEAS PEOPLE. THATS WHY WE PUT THEM UP HERE.

You can post ideas, demos, screenshots (no more than 4 per idea please) and videos. Making a topic for your idea would be better once you get deeper in development. This is mainly for early in development games/ideas.

Not really any guidelines, but I just came up with a form that i used today for a new game idea.

Name: ---
Genre: ---
Length: -Mini Game -Full Game -Puzzle Game -Other
Idea: ---

----------------------------------

So heres my idea. Already working on it.

Name: electroshock
Genre: Adventure, Puzzle
Length: full game
Idea: Player is an electric sphere that can send electric signals towards designated area (mouse).
Player can only move up and down, using left and right to ‘turn the stage’ (Rotate direction and view).
Player can only have 3 electric signals active at once (signals expire after 5 seconds of impact. If no impact within 2 seconds of launch, expires).
Player finishes level by either defeating a boss or reaching the warp. (4 levels per galaxy)
Once a galaxy is cleared, the dark static is gone. Each level takes place within a planet or through a course.
Player gets 3 ‘Hearts’ (A heart is lost when touching metal or being hit by a strong force)
Game takes place in space, incase you didnt already notice.

Have fun sharing kiddies!

I have so many.

There's this one with Mario v.s Mecha...

[Yoshbert]

Name: Mario vs. Wario
Genre: Adventure, Platformer
Length: Full Game
Idea: Story: Wario and Waluigi are fed up with being upstaged by those Mario Bros, so they plot to get revenge on them. To do this, they stole a powerful item called the HypnoWand (not an original name, eh?), which brainwashes anyone into working for the wand's owner. The brothers Wario then sneak over to Bowser's Castle and brainwash some of his minions (Goombas, Koopas, Hammer Bros, and the like) into working for him. They command their new forces to storm over to Toad Town and take over Peach's Castle, kidnapping the Princess herself and causing general chaos across the Mushroom Kingdom. A few of Wario's friends: 9-Volt, 18-Volt, Orbulon, Ashley, Dribbles, and Spitz (all from the WarioWare games) wanted in on this, so they came along for the plan (they they wanted to do this, you decide). Mona tried convincing them to stop this plan, but nobody listens to her. Most of the citizens were captured by Wario's new soldiers. All victims have a Wario or Waluigi cap with a Wario or Waluigi mustache and repeat the line, "Obey Wario, Destroy Mario!"
Meanwhile, Mario and Luigi find a group of non-brainwashed citizens (including the Toad Brigade, Yoshi, Toadsworth, and others) outside their home, telling them Peach has been kidnapped. Before they could finish their sentence (Peach has been kidnapped by... Wario and that purple guy!), Mario and Luigi immediately rushed off to Bowser's Castle. When they got there, the castle was completely deserted, except for a few minions, Bowser, BJ, and Kamek. Strangely, Mona, Jimmy T., and Young Cricket were there questioning Bowser about the disappearance of Peach. Bowser states that Wario has taken over the MK and kidnapped Peach (he was thinking about doing that). The Mario Bros. then decided to take matters into their own hands and stop the Wario Bros. Yoshi and Mona decided to join them, while Bowser, Jimmy T., and the others went after Wario in their own alliance.

Tl;dr - Wario Bros. and WarioWare comrades kidnap Peach, take over the Mushroom Kingdom, brainwash Bowser's soldiers. Mario Bros., Yoshi, and Mona go on to save the MK. Bowser, Bowser Jr., Kamek, and Jimmy T., form a crackpot team to go after Wario and Waluigi.

Gameplay: Traditional Mario gameplay, with five main power ups: Fire Flower, Super Carrot (gives the Rabbit Ears), Hammer Suit, Ice Flower, and Mega Mushroom. Four playable characters, each with his or her own traits (Mario's got well-rounded stats, Luigi jumps highest and has lower traction, Yoshi has the Flutter Jump, and can eat enemies and turn them into eggs, Mona has a Double Jump and is the fastest runner). There are seven worlds in total, each with six levels and a boss stage (one for each of Wario's buds). The final stage is Peach's Castle (now called Wario Castle) with a showdown with Wario and Waluigi. Some levels will have a homage to Super Mario Land 2. Enemies will be normal and Wario-fied Mario enemies. And the ending... well, let's say that it's kind of similar to the true ending of Mario vs. Donkey Kong.

I had this idea in my brain for a long time, since I started working on fangames. It's not really that good, but someone could polish it up a bit.

[Mocgames998]

Name: Super Co-op
Genre: Platform Shooter
Length: Full Game
Idea: The game involves 2 people going on an adventure to stop this... evil dude from... doing something evil. They need to face enemies across the way such as big robot things and... aliens? They also will need to go through many places in the world to make it to the end. You will also have a health bar that will take 8 hits before you die. The game will also have a shop system and graphics and music simmilar to SNES games. "Get it, SUPER Co-op."

[zzo38]

I have a lot of ideas. With short descriptions:

• 
  (Full game) You have to first collect all of the objects in the dungeon, and after collected you have to put them all back where they were before (fior extra challenge, the last item you picked up is not allowed to be the first item you put back). Also you must revive any monsters and stuff you have killed, and any doors you locked/unlocked must be unlocked/locked, etc. If you use up any of these items, you have to somehow use the items you started with in order to create the same things, to put them back.
  
• 
  (Puzzle game) There are big blobs and small blobs of different colors, and the big blobs has to eat the small blobs of the correct color and then changes colors. You have to make the number of blobs equal to the goal number within the alloted minimum and maximum timer, and you have to collect all of the money before meeting the goal or else you lose. There are also other kind of objects such as grass, gate, etc
  
• 
  (Full game) Pokemon red/blue in a 8x8 ASCII display with no graphics/sounds/musics, and minimal filesize. No names of monster/people/element/etc, no pokedex informations, every pokemon is only represented by three digits, element of one letter, nicknames up to two letters/numbers, item and attack names up to five letters/numbers, remove a lot of speaking of other people and other stuff too, but add a few option for before starting game. It takes pokemon red/blue to the absolute minimum.

[OmegaDestroyer]

Name: [no name decided]
Genre: Espionage/Action
Length: Full Game
Idea: You start off as a warrior Goomba/Koopa/whatever who is viewed as a great defender of their village. Something happens that suddenly removes your character from time for years (temporal, frozen, whatever) and returns to learn that the village is now under Bowser's control and your friends and family are until his reign. You have a choice to either rise up the ranks of Bowser's army and fight the Mario Bros along side your old (and now older) friends... or stick to your morals and join the good guys against those who once called you Friend...
Note: No credit needed. The idea is pretty vague and up to the creator/writer. Idea came from playing inFamous

[seldeslim]

Might as well post it here. *****es don't be ****ing messing with my stuff i've worked for like a week already.



Name: Mario Gear Solid: The One Man Army
Genre: Action/Sidescroller/Espionage/Platformer
Length: Full Game (I have about 20-25 levels in mind)
Tech Crew: Elyk (his basic shooter engine), and Ultramario (his simplest engine he made for me a long time ago)
Concept: Spoilers:

In the future, about 30 years after the Great Conflict, Bowser has declared an nuclear strike on the Mushroom Kingdom. At the time, Mario was hollow and angry at himself, for not being truly loyal to his brother. He never knew what happened to Luigi, so it was presumed that he was dead. Technology was advancing rather quickly, with the new age of robotic weaponry. Through a short time, koopas have been made smarter, more evolved through the use of nanotechnology. Bowser, like Mario, was getting very old and crippled. He no longer could walk, from all the beatings he took from Mario. He would not last a month longer. I don't wanna ruin the rest of the storyline so etc

here's some images (spoilers)

[Zero Kirby]

A side-scrolling Zelda game with a combat system much like and improving upon Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories

The main problem would be creating the combat and equipment engines but once that's done it'd be smooth sailing

[MONEYMAN]

Name: Dunno
Genre: Sidescrolling
Length: Full Game
Idea: A retro SMB1 styled game kinda like SMBDDX by Guinea, only not really. Uses reshaded SMB1 sprites. I dont really have many ideas for it. If anyone wants to make it, I can supply you with the sprites.

[demon_masta]

Name: Cats vs Dogs
Genre: Platforming shooter
Length: Full game
Concept:
It has been 2,000,000,000 years. Humans are extinct, and the 2 dominant species are cats & dogs. They have evolved greatly, and now the 2 species are in war. A war for domination. Winner gets the title as dominant species. Years later, the cats unleash their greatest experiment, a super cat. You play as this super-cat, and you must kill the dog's leader. You can pick up anything you want and throw it as a weapon, and you can use guns. You go through several levels killing dogs, some of witch are equipped with giant robots.
