A creational game - let's make a video/tabletop game
« on: August 04, 2013, 10:05:01 am »

Let's make a game, Bay12.
A video game? Or a tabletop game?

Every few days I'll run a new poll (I'm assuming you can change the poll after the previous one has expired/at any time, right?) to tackle on to the next topic.
The eventual goal is a clear vision of a game concept, complete with the lore, mechanics, aesthetics and community fads.

So first - the game category!
Next! Genre(s)!
Next! Theme(s)!
Neext! Artstyle(s)!

Why all the s-es, you may ask?
Because Lord knows that you're going to make a real-time strategy stealth action magitech anime cel-shaded...tabletop platformer.

I dare you.

Um...

How capable are you of coding the new game, assuming we vote video game?

Because if "not at all," tabletop is the realistic option.

I think he is speaking in a purely 'theoretical' way.
No coding or anything involved.

Oh.

That's boring, I do that all the time. Will wait for a non-theoretical video/tabletop game creation thread.

Then you're gonna wait a long time.
At least a couple years until I'm done with the high school. (or at least until I'm actually started with it to begin with)

As an added bonus, the poll results are hidden until the end of the poll.
For that extra surprise element.

Guess I'll be doing that for future polls as well.

I mean for someone else :P

That's cool what you did with the poll though, I should consider doing that so people don't try to bandwagon on an option.

The best part is that this thing is a surprise for me as well, so while I would like to see a video game ideally, it's not like I'm going to be a scrub and change it if it's a tabletop game.
Although my knowledge of tabletop games is rather rudimentary as a whole.

I'm studying Computer Games Development at university. So I'll do you all a deal. Design a video game I'd be interested in making, and I'll have a go at making it.
