What game would you create if you had the skills and experience of a veteran game dev? I.e. John Carmack
I would create a boxing game where you play as different fighters that look like the national animal of the country they’re from I.e. Germanys eagle and British lion.
(So basically, Furry Fight Night(
It’d be similar to that PS3/X360 game Facebreaker
If you had such skills and know how, what game would you create? Let me know!
I’ve always thought Superman would be such an interesting game to do right.
A game where you are invincible and OP, but other people aren’t.
Where the weight of impossible decisions pulls you down into the depths of despair.
I think the tech is finally getting to a point where it’d be possible to fill a virtual city with people powered by AI that makes you really care about the individuals in the world. To form relationships and friendships that matter to you. For there to be dynamic characters that put a smile on your face when you see them in your world.
And then to watch many of them die as a result of your failures, as despite being an invincible god among men you can’t beat the impossible.
I really think the gameplay in a Superman game done right can be one of the darkest and most brutal games ever done, with dramatic tension just not typically seen in video games. The juxtaposition of having God mode turned on the entire game but it not mattering to your goals and motivations because it isn’t on for the NPCs would be unlike anything I’ve seen to date.
