Be Toady one V2.0

[DrPoo]

A 16-32 multiplayer game where one is god, and then everybody else are puny humen and animals, then the god guy just causes all kinds of shit to happen and the other players try and survive it.
The god would have three stages, one where its just primitive stuff such as wind and small fires, with no restrictions at all, then a stage where he get all kinds of crazy powers, mana based though, (he can make minions as permanent powers though) then after 1˝ hour of gameplay he reaches a stage where he can do anything with no restricitons at all, and it would either end up with all speices exterminated and the round thus ending or few flee to other planets and the god has to chase them through a small galaxy.

Would be so fun. Generally more inbalanced games of rage and IRL death threats.

Working off DrPoo's (seriously?) idea, how about a FPS/RTS?  32+ FPS players versus 1 player who can control their units RTS style.  It'd be interesting to see how games pan out.  I think the FPS players would have the advantage in single unit engagements, but the RTS player would be able to use far more coherent strategies against their opponents.

Currently he has stated that releasing the source code is in his will, with the condition that his death isn't suspicious (IE murdering him for the code)

Any chance of  a link?  Searching for 'Toady' and 'will' comes up with around 3 gazillion results.  Also, NOBODY KILL TOADY!!!

Will's aren't usually kept in the public record, but if they were, you'd be better off looking for Tarn Adams.

[lordcooper]

Heh, not to the actual will, just to where he stated that.

Sorta already exists: Zombiemaster mod for hl2. although its not geared towards that many people at once.

A complete(aka perfect) DF in my lifetime

Considering Toady seems to be twice the median age around here, I think we can all rest assured that if DF isn't completed in our lifetimes, it will never be completed at all.

I seriously hope Toady's got a backup plan for DF in case of his untimely demise. GPL release, alternative dev(team), anything. As long as it won't die off with him.

Currently he has stated that releasing the source code is in his will, with the condition that his death isn't suspicious (IE murdering him for the code)

If anyone was willing to murder him for the code, couldn't they just break into his house and steal his harddrive?

A game like Hammerfight

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

It's a gem of an indie game.

Where the game essentially revolves around how the player uses the world's physics to destroy his opponents
(most of which involve manually swinging massive boulders linked to iron chains at the enemy)

There was also a flash version of this game (don't remember the name), but the graphics were meh and the controls were horrible.

A game like spore, but to the next level. Technology has to be developed by the player using the laws of physics, creatures that actually evolve instead of being picked from a predetermined list, that sort of thing. Of course, this kind game would require months of game play to go anywhere, so it probably won't come to pass.

This sounds like what This is going for, actually.

A good space colonization game(Focused on space Colonization!) thats not a wargame or similar. Imagine Light of Altair but randomly generated surroundings.

OH GOD, MY EYES.

WHAT IS THIS?  D:  IT LOOKS LIKE 1993! D:

Inception would make a trippy video game.

For a movie about dreams it is really REALLY tame.
