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!

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

well when i have time, I would like to develop an RTS, but i do have some really unique special ideas
i need to find some graphics(+animation) artists

astonishing fact with it is that is playable with only a deck of cards.

as you and I pointed out,
it is a good game because of the mind activity between the players.
I have not played it myself tho'

so the trouble of achieving something like it with a computer, is the absence of another human.

But when another human IS present, then most multiplayer games 'at same computer' are fun, and some very fun.

the 2 player game I have played the most like this, is Crossfire 1. It is very playable, and leads to much 'mind fun' around it when trying to outsmart/trick the other player.

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  I think C/C++ is out of date, but I guess that's all there is for OS4 right now.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 :-) :-)

Tron Deadly Disc's consumed most of my after-school time when it became part of my library.  Need that to my clone projects. Think we've seen enough 1st person and RTS games. Time for creative games the way they used to be.  Have you seen www.intellivisionlives.com?

Have you seen www.intellivisionlives.com?

YEP! but i get all anxious and shakey when i visit an Intellivision site! :-D

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.

then he will play your game and clone them.

or you will play his game and clone his ideas.

don't you think it would be better if you teamed togheter and made a game twice as good as either?

Teamwork is very good!
a game loves teamwork, because then it gets much better, because 2 heads get more ideas and can figure out things better than 1 alone.

I guess your future speech to your company would have a final conclution of:
"...but since I am in charge, the money goes to me!"


Its the likes of your attitude that make all the greed and ego in this world.

I am only interested in making fun games.
Money only matters when I buy food.

If I got an awesome idea for a game,
I would never hold it back!

FUN 4EVER!


Im not asking you to reveeal your idea,
cause you are only a victim of the modern society
where money and fame is presented as some state of undescribed happiness, when the truth is that neither fame or money gives you happiness in the long run.
