Game Idea

[Confused111]

I've had this idea in my head for a while. I cant make this yet because:
1. I have no idea how
and
2.It would be really hard to make.
So basically, you have to draw a track for a little stick figure with different obstacles(like a gap to jump, or you might have to escape lava).The character would be physical, like the guys from AlleyOop.The point would be for you to get to the end flag(I forgot to mention that you can control them).Please comment on my idea and tell me if I should try when I'm better

More details and ideas would be great ?

Dude, elaborate. We need some more info.

So it's line rider styled point-to-point objectives with a character like in AlleyOop.
Doesn't sound bad.

there's a game where you control a character along a line already but it's a puzzle game and it's not very good

the main problem I can see with this is having enough speed to be fun while keeping the physically modelled body not lay down and whimper

[Confused111]

Well... There could be be Indiana Jones stuff, like a boulder, or a pendulum blade.Or there could be a meteor shower...or enemies that you have to escape.But if you trip too much, you get knocked out. But you will wake up eventually.This game wont be made anytime soon, but at least it might be made.:o

I've never liked any "game Idea" threads. Only 0.351 of em ever gets done -.-

Not only that, but for the most part all the threads are done by people who have less then 100 god damn posts.

[Confused111]

Well I really think I might be able to do this(maybe).So all I need to do is learn Japanese(I think), get the source for AlleyOop, learn how to code, and make a team for it.Sounds easy enough, right?

Why is post count such a big issue?! WHY?! Just because someone doesn't post much or just recently joined doesn't mean they haven't been lurking the whole damn time the forums have been up. I've been here since the day the forums opened, and I only have... *checks post count* 455 posts!

In any case, I'd be happy to help work on this if it does get started.

[Confused111]

I've decided I WILL make this game. But first, I need to know all of the physics types I'll need. Let's see... a ragdoll engine for when you get knocked out, a fluid engine for the lava, and some sort of engine that helps animate ragdolls.In a few days or so, I'll have some concept art for the game.

whereas you have 36

cummon, you can't hate MUVVAH FUXXORING N0000BS yet, you've only just become a "member"
you and Farbror make a good team, you need a name. how about THE ARSE-TEAM or THE BITCH SQUAD

give this guy a break, this really is quite a good idea

[Confused111]

Alright. I think I've got an idea for the name: Line Runner. Please post ideas and tell me what you think.

[STEVIE G]

I'm with Fabror on this. The name of the game is irrelevant at the design stage. Anyone can come up with ideas but the reality is that very little people even get to the prototype stage.

The only thing I can suggest is to walk before you run. Make sure you capabilities can match your ambitions. Learn how to program well in a chosen language by starting out with some simpler game ideas and then move into complex physics simulation. It's not for the faint hearted which I can say with a great deal of experience ;)

Thanks for the advice?

[Virtue]

You mean something like this with physics?

Sort of, but you will have to run from things, get something from somewhere,or assassinate someone.

This game has been cancelled(until I'm more than 11 years old). Yeah...Don't worry, I won't forget. I thought this up when I was 7 or 8. So, no need to worry.

Uh... You are a stick guy with the physics of AlleyOop(so you can trip and shtuff). You gotta run around and... Do stuff. An example would be that you would sneak around and steal things, or try to escape from a place.
