I'm frankly not convinced this is a good project until we can show
- plot, character, narrative
- promise of game-feel or similar considerations. I would be willing to handle this if above was present
Otherwise it's just a weak game with a weak premise.
So if you are a writer, or Giz, please hit up the thread. Start throwing out ideas and get it started.
I would like to incorporate projectiles, traps, platforming if possible, and some basic combat/action with at least a few abilities. Go nuts with ideas and don't worry if it's feasible.
More importantly, why should the player do it? Why should I make it?
I hope for a compelling premise.
For example, in the prototype I was planning with Giz, the main character is a high-school delinquent (female) who has to fight various mafia types to rescue her boyfriend (with plot twists!), and she has to fight her way to the top of a tower (at the end?), and there's supposed to be scenes where they're falling from the building and fighting, or some mini-games, you can go shopping probably, and wander the streets beating up punks.
It's modern or futuristic, so they use weapons perhaps, or gadgets.
Pretty solid stuff imo, and we should hope for a similar level of design.
Even before making the game, it is well defined and has a lot of room to explore gameplay concepts, systems and structures, as well as allowing some room for variety
Oh and it's a goofy comedy but like an anime? So, cool, somehow? But also slapstick and hilarious.
I'm thinking "A rude raccoon is smashing every barrel and trash can in town and eating everyone's garbage and the neighborhood is sick of it"
I don't know if the raccoon is the protagonist or what, but there's already a lot of stuff I can think of spinning of from there, like a quest to eat garbage, and irate townsfolk going on a witch hunt. Strong vibes? Maybe it could scamper up buildings for different gameplay segments, and access roof-tops or something (idk what raccoons do)
Maybe the raccoon could hide in various places, like assassins creed. raccoons creed. whatever. I am a shadow in the night. I am in ur garbage eating ur trash
