Incline Unique/interesting RPG ideas you have

[FritzedProcess]

RPGs without magic. Dungeons & NO DRAGONS. KCD, Western RPG, WW2 RPG, modern warfare RPG, Expeditions series, real world or realistic worlds without fantasy races etc. We'll see unique & interesting stuff once devs give fucking fantasy(&syfy to a lesser extend) a rest.

Well, Cyberpunk 2070 will be coming out any year now, and if there is no hint of the Interlock system in the game, finally Cyberpunk will be superior to Shadowrun in both system and setting!

Guys, you have to admit that most of the Shadowrun setting is "a wizard did it!" or "a dragon did it!", and that the faultlines along which the world fragments are largely imaginary 70s-80s new age bullshit. Cyberpunk 2020's writers at least had a grasp of the subject matter they were speculating about.

A game based around a split-second decision where you play as a nerve ending.

So? CDPR are clueless devs. All they have made is kludgy popamoles sodden with story faggotry.

The 2017 Codex will have to kill you for saying that, headed by executioner Vibalist.

Who's he, another limp-dick?

Unique/interesting ideas you have

Don't know about interesting, but imagine a game that could be likened to an 18+ noir version of Zootopia that mixes David Lynch style stream of consciousness, David Cronenberg style violence, B.A.T. 2 and the original Fallout gameplay and RPG sensibilities.

RPGs without magic.

Without magic? That's heresy.

 

[Bester]

Realistic distances between distances/objects... why are some goblins hanging out just 15m down the road from these knights?

It's so you can PLAY the game without looking for goblins for 30 days of real life time, like it would've been in real life.

It's called gamification.

 

[theSavant]

Well there was this idea of a game like TES Oblivion, but with a major difference:

That the events (Oblivion gates and creatures coming in) happen regardless if you act upon them or not. So if you hang around for too long doing every shitty quest (as many sandbox players do), and ignore the real threat, simply more and more creatures enter the world. These creatures then will literally conquer and destroy the world you are in... eventually leading to a situation that cannot be won anymore (imagine you have to retreat more and more, but the hordes are so overwhelming, that it comes to a last stand in a castle and you finally die...)

Some kind of "evolving gameplay" or so. And even if everything is peaceful in the beginning, there would be a constant feeling of an incoming threat and doom. That would be the kind Elder Scrolls Oblivion I'd like to play, not some boring sandbox where nothing really matters.

Personally, I didn't like Fallout 1 timer. Puts pressure on me, and I like to play at a slow pace, exploring every nook and cranny instead of rushing through the game, skipping everything that I guesstimate to not be critical.

 

[theSavant]

Yeah, I understand that. That's probably the biggest problem... to implement a "timer" in a way it doesn't put you too much under pressure. Especially because, as you said, people like to explore in different pace. The timer could be either too early for some, and too late for others. Maybe there's a healthy middleground... or a solution like different difficulties, and depending on the difficulty things happen earlier or later.

 

[laclongquan]

I miss finding laz0rguns and stuff in fantasy rpgs, ala early Ultimas and Might & Magic. Maybe a Hickman-esque rpg where all the holy/magic artefacts are just pieces of advanced technology.

Sound like wand of force

anyone remember that game messiah? where you'd play the little angel in diapers who had to possess his enemies souls or some shit to kill them and progress

well, something like that but less shit (the game wasnt that good, especially in retrospective) and where possessing NPC's have a real tangible effect on the environment and other NPC's to complete quests and such. there'd be certain advantages and drawbacks of possessing certain people and the actions you'd take with him/her. there should be some moral backdrop to the main story in which you gotta save God or something (similar to Dogma) but you'd have to choose between either being a goody two shoes towards the human race and maybe not save God or bring the fucking pain and make hell on earth in order to save your maker

AND THEN IN A SHAMALAYAN TWISTS ITS ACTUALLY THE DEVIL OH NOES

Parasite Eve3: the 3rd birthday, where the MC do something similar to that.

 

[Swigen]

You and a group of friends living in a small town set in motion a chain of events that lead to you being the only ones who can SAVE THE WORLD!! Also along the way you have to do a bunch of bullshit menial tasks for random strangers.

Also you can buy sexy costumes or xp boosters for real $$$.

 

[flabbyjack]

Sorry but I'll keep my ideas to myself for when I retire and make cRPGs with my wife helping me.

Planning on making several prototype games to build up my exp and see what is actually fun or not. As a programmer I have a good idea of what features would be feasible to implement and what would not.

Update: Wifey says she wants to make games presently, rather than wait. JRPG Maker here we come!
