Spoiler: What is this? (click to show/hide)

I want a game where you play a diplomat in a very formal embassy party. If you make the slightest faux pas, all the other diplomats and dignitarie sfreak out and rush to their suites to press the red "LAUNCH NUKES" buttons.

DONE! I'M IN! It'd be like surgeon simulator.
HOOOOOLY SHIT IT COULD HAVE THE SURGEON SIMULATOR CONTROL SCHEME! Or something similar. Holy shit, that'd be funny. I feel like it could have a multiplayer mode, in which someone (Who doesn't have surgeonsim controls) Is actually an assassin who has to murder one of them.

...This would legit be one of my favorite games. Perhaps if we had a coder, we could kickstarter that shit.

you'd have to eat dinner without messing up. Alternatively, silverware become projectiles and can be used to skewer the embassy guests.

If one of them presses the red buttons, you get a long animation of the nukes flying, the counterattack, the detonations, and the end of all humanity. As the camera pulls back from the smoking ruins of earth, it says what you did wrong, like "You put the wine in the port glass."

Multiplayer would be awesome.   Everyone has a role they have to play and protocols to follow.   The obective is to be the one to start nuclear Armageddon.  You do this by catching a mistake that another player makes.   

I'm doing this I'm so making it happen best idea.

I can model and animate well enough that I could probably get in as an unpaid intern somewhere if I tried. I know the basics of programming and think I could program this as a single player game, but would rather leave all that to someone experienced. I may not have project management experience, or any etiquette training beyond a few lessons in ~third grade for a field trip, but I'm spearheading this anyway.

Who's in? I'm thinking ~1-2 months of development time, using Unity, and just giving it away free.

IRC: #DiplomacySimulator2014 on irc.freenode.net -- Let's go, first scheduled development meeting's Sunday February 9th at noon (EST).

PTW. Dinner is over... Humanity is over.

[KingofstarrySkies]

PTW. I may eventually do press shit.

[Urist McScoopbeard]

PTW. Because why the hell not?

God speed!

I would ask whether the player character is a human, or possibly a bear in a tuxedo. Like Octodad or Sir Bearington, messing up too much makes people suspicious.

[Elephant Parade]

Posting to watch. This looks entertaining.

PTW

[TheDarkStar]

PTW, I want to see where this goes.

[Fniff]

PTW. I can sprite, so I could do textures. Only problem is, it might look Minecrafty.

[hector13]

PTW, PTW, riding through the glen...

Might be able to contribute to writing (dialogue, narration etc.) should it be needed. Never done it before, but I do have a reasonable grasp of 't English language, and would be quite happy to research social etiquette of some description to make it sparkle with Authenticity^tm.

Oh, and the moment you can give us some, screenshots, please!

I'm out of practice with Unity, but I could probably help with something or other. Unless this is going to be a JS-only project, in which case not because I only ever learned C#.

[Graknorke]

For gameplay purposes I would suggest it being grid-based, so that you can force the player to be more precise without having to make the things the characters do ridiculously specific.
