Hehe I`m a graphic artist with limited programming knowledge. That wouldn`t be my department. I`m determined to do something with this. SOme of the ideas I`ve got would kick anything I`ve ever seen, by far.

oh dear!
i dont mean to sound insulting, but do you have a lot of experience creating games?
or would sombody else do the programming?

3D is a bit more difficult than 2D - esspecially on the amiga

Do you like treading on people`s dreams? or is it your job? No I haven`t made a game before. I`ve been involved (and still are) in making a few games. I`am sure I said I`m not a programmer, so I`m obviously not going to program it. I know 3D is more difficult than 2D. It has another dimension for a start. I don`t know why I bother sometimes.

24bit would be good, but I think 16bit would be good enough. 8bit is too old now. This is supposed to be a modern game. How can you create the ultimate strategy game with bad graphics!?

NO! i dont wish to discourage you from doing a new game! just what the amiga needs(especially on aos4.0 and mos) are some more quality new games!! if anything i will only encourage people to write new software for it, what ever that software may be!
i have plenty of great ideas for new games! 3 REALLY good ones!! including 1 RTS game with a difference!
im not bad at programming games, if you are good at graphics perhaps we(and some others) should get to gether to work on one

i really want to to a proper professional job
and produce somthing that is really marketable
i would like to put a lot of work into my games and sell them(on CD, shrinkwrapped, somthing that can be sold)

i have plenty of ideas - but little time, so i would certainly be interested in working on such an idea ;-)

:-) :-)

And yes, I do have a truely original idea for an RTS, one that plays more like Simcity than Starcraft... but more, I shall not say  :-D

sounds a bit like one of my ideas ;-)
and i wont say much more either!

Hmm... A good strategy game to me has cool but not dominating graphics, it has cool ambient and effect sounds, smart enemies = good AI... A multiplayer internet and LAN game would be great and cdda support if people want to listen to their own music

yep, AI is probably most important to me :-)

no game i play ever has good enough AI IMAO

Some of the old Intellivision games were good strategy games.     I've thought about copying some of the game concepts over to Amiga. I actually made an Astrosmash clone in 1995 with BlitzBasic, but never sent it to Aminet. I'm waiting for AmigaOS4 and the new graphical systems before I start learning Amiga graphic programming.  I think C/C++ is out of date, but I guess that's all there is for OS4 right now. Anyone have an engine for RTS or know of one that's on Aminet?

WHOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
i have to agree that most of the Intellivision games(Inteligent Television!) were some of the best designed and most playable ever!
my favorite Intelivision game? TRON DEADLY  DISC'S!!
whoohoo
and astrosmash is cool too! i still use my intelivision, and i still find it quite fun to play :-) :-)

Maybe I should say more... Two heads are better than one.. :-)

i need to find some graphics(+animation) artists
and sound doods :-)  :-)

So.

Does anybody have any original ideas for this game? Surely theres something you`ve always wanted in a game? You`ve always said "why didn`t they do that!?" etc.

Thanks for all the replies. Some good points.

i have lots of original ideas, but since ill be working on such a game, they will be put into mine!

still looking for graphics/animation artists BTW... perhaps ill start a new game company
