[SUGGESTION] Pretty random game idea

Postby Demonik » October 17th, 2010, 12:56 am

Alright so I've been looking around the net at some interesting games.. and one particular one really struck my eye. Fig hunter's beast signer.

Righto so I know someone's already suggested a Pokemon type game here, but that was a very simple and... bland kind of suggestion. I'd like to elaborate.

So I have this sincere passion for games where you capture monsters and what-not, and battle with them. Perhaps it's because of my childhood interest in catching spiders and centipedes and other dangerous creatures, but yeah. It really appeals to me, and I'm sure I'm not the only one, judging by the epicly massive fan base of the Pokemon franchise. Anyway, enough pointless talk, on with the suggestion.

What I'm picturing in my mind is this: You walk around, find monsters, capture them, and battle other people. Very similar to Pokemon. But when it comes to the battling-- well that's a whole different ball game mister. :P Essentially, you'd actually control your creature. It'd turn into a side scrolling fighting game (Like Smash Bros.), Arrow keys and all. They wouldn't have many attacks, because that'd be a pain in the neck to do for so many numerous monsters, but yeah. Certain monsters that have wings for example would be able to jump numerous times in a row (like double jumping in a smash bros. game), and different abilities could be implemented (like poison attacks continuing to damage the enemy for a short while throughout the battle). A Pokemon kind of game that doesn't revolve entirely around your monsters' stats, but also your own playing skill.

I figure this kind of game is only necessarily possible however if Runouw has a passion for such games. It'd take a lot of time to make obviously, and if The big R doesn't give a rats a@s about Pokemon/smash bros. type games, this suggestion would mean nothing.

Anyway, yeah, I might add to the suggestion later, but for now I can't think of anything noteworthy to add. What do you lads think?

That sounds a lot like a game I once played.

And see, the whole monster battle thing was what made me dislike Pokemon in the first place. It always seem like there was some luck involved, because you never know what your opponent will do until you already make your move. And then there's no way to defend yourself from your enemies attack; you can only hope your attack will be more effective than his. With your idea, there's more strategy involved. And that's how I like it.

I also recall Runouw working on a project a bit similar to this, but it was only a beta. But I really liked it for what it was seemingly turning out to be; sadly it's been 4 years since the last update, so my guess is that he is done working on it.

Anyways, cool idea, Nik!

I have another great idea!
Why don't we make an epic game, where you fish for fish. (No sh*t Sherlock :lol: )
And you fight with them...
But kinda like Chibi Knight type battles...
Or we could do it with bugs...
Here's Chibi Knight so you can see the battle system...
