What kind of forum game would people like to see?
« on: June 07, 2012, 06:46:40 pm »

A combination of summer starting and me finally getting my Wacom tablet to work properly with Photoshop is compelling me to make a suggestion adventure to practice drawing freehand. I just figured it'd be a good idea to see what the people of Bay12 would want the game to be about before starting. Any requests?

How about a forum game where we create and direct our own universe? I think it would be kind of fun to see the insane universe we would end up with.

I always find trapped-in-a-room, puzzle-type suggestion games to be the best.

Agreed, although those always seem to die after a week.

Actually this would be the best

I just came up with an idea.

A forum suggestion game with a system similar to succession games. You play up to a certain period, like say... 10 posts, possibly more. To complicate things, you could get mandates, which are things that must be featured in your section, such as "Cats" or "Egyptian Magic".

Some of the best forum games begin with very humble origins. "You are a Russian," "Your wife is fat and cheated on you." Simple things. Grandiose premises that involve conquering or saving worlds, or being gods and creating them, routinely die unfinished.

Pick something simple. Like, "Your cat is sitting on your lap. What do you do?"

Looks like people like the universe creation idea. Would people be interested in having a game somewhat like this:

Players create gods, who shape a world. After that, players can play in the background as the gods (i.e., only contacting prophets, pushing events around) or play as heroes or the aforementioned prophets and whatnot, or just jump around different characters. A multiplayer, multicharacter suggestion adventure of sorts. Does that sound good?

Very good indeed. Let's just hope it doesn't die...the graveyard is getting full as of late.
