Here’s something really random but could be kinda fun.

You’re character is a cactus that try’s to suck up water and keep it and you can get upgrades like wells, longer lasting rain etc. You could have animals that try to eat you so you could upgrade your spikes to keep them off and stuff.

This is really random but I think it could be fun.[DOUBLEPOST=1545113701][/DOUBLEPOST]Also if you run out of water you would lose health.

I love indie game developers, They always hold a special place in my heart. When I was around 9 years old, Christmas time, I got my first PC, and right away I went on game jolt and installed The Very Organized Thief, SCP Containment Breach & a shit load of other awesome games. I wish you good luck on your development, Please send me the link when It's done!

Sorry I had notifications off. Random af but I actually really like the idea not gonna lie

 

[MostlySnakes]

I have an idea:
Ok, So It is like Minecraft (blocky and shit), but then it is like gta and adds guns and swords and shit, then throw skyrim in that sum a bitch by adding dragons and magic. Would totally purchase game for $20 as an indie.

Wait so you mean Trove? Because you literally just described Trove lol

Wait so you mean Trove? Because you literally just described Trove lol

1. I am imagining a game, a mall filled with NPCs walking around, interacting, buying stuff—like the people in GTA V do.

A total of 5 players will spawn into this world and must try their best to blend in with the NPCs while searching for the other players. The aim of this game would be to kill, tag, or disable the other players before they get you.

Normal gameplay at first, just doing what other NPCs do and observing all the people. Once someone makes a move, hell breaks loose!

And once you do something that is too uncommon, the NPCs will turn on you and attempt to kill you or point you out to the other players. –ThanksSpanky

2. A killer, a monster, and a couple of survivors. The survivors need to contact help by finding a radio, crank phone, or just escape. There will be a 10-minute countdown.

The goal of the killer is to kill the survivors and needs to kill them without being killed by the monster.

My original thought is that the monster that you would be playing is a Wendigo where you pick off survivors and mimic them—the monster can kill everyone. –Kryptic_Clouds

3. A Free-for-all multiplayer game. There will be 100 players with plane tickets but the plane only has 50 seats.

The players will start at random entrances in the airport, all at equal distances from the gate. You will need to get to the gate and occupy one of the seats on the plane. There will be not enough overhead bin space for all the players, so the ones that got to the plane first will be able to bring their equipment.

Everyone will be running in this maze-like airport, you can pick up weapons, equipment, and other items to fight with. There will be no death, you will only be disabled or stunned and lose time if you get hit by a player.

You will choose the class of your character, for example, you can have a baby stroller. This will slow you down but will let you use the “priority” tunnels that other players/classes can’t and you can use the stroller to ram other players.

You can use the cars in the airport but players will be fighting for those.

Every time the plane takes off it will land at another airport which has a smaller plane, meaning there will be few seats compared to the previous, and so on until one player gets in the very last plane or could be a helicopter.

You can switch or destroy the signs in the airport to confuse players. The theme of the game is “All for themselves”. –DCSoftwareDad

4. You have a top-down view of an office with a certain amount of doors. The doors might be closed or open depending on the difficulty level. The goal is to open the doors you want to open and close the doors you want to be closed to allow the people inside the office to escape when you pull the fire alarm.

There are going to be three types of people; fat people that are slow, normal people that are medium fast, and skinny people that are very fast.

For fat people you need give them the fastest way out, while for skinny people you can give them a long way out since they are faster. You will only have limited door touches before you have to pull the alarm.

You need to open or close the doors depending on what kind of people is in the office and how far they are from the exit. I’m having thoughts of adding a vending machine for fat people where they stop and die, so you will have to close the doors leading to vending machines. –joebigaloe

5. An RPG game where the goal is the be rich and influential. The player will start as a poor young Roman. There are different ways to make money; fighting, trading, robbing, and gambling.

As an indigent fighter you will start in the fighting pits against slaves and other poor fighters, you can upgrade your damage by buying leather wrappings. Later you can do knife fights, then with sword and shield, and so on.

In addition to being a fighter, you can be hired as an assassin on political campaigns which will give you a big bounty.

As a trader, you will simply be getting stuff from the harbor and beg in the streets. When your business goes well you will buy a cart for more stuff to trade. After that, you will be able to invest in other businesses, like taverns, public toilets, foreign goods, etc.

Robbers will be hiding and waiting in the dark allies to stab and rob people.

And Gamblers will be betting on dice games in the street corners, betting on fights, and even betting on their selves.

All the things you do will have a positive or negative impact towards your city; will you be loved, feared, or hated by people.

For side quests like killing bad guys or repairing something in the city, you will get a positive rating but for being a murderer or criminal, you will have a negative rating.

The goal here is to become influential and slowly move your self into a political office or to rule the city as a gang boss.
If you were to make any of these games I would be very willing to help! Thanks!

I think the first one is a cool idea. Would be pretty fun imo depending on the graphics. As for the others, tbh I'm too lazy to read them. [DOUBLEPOST=1545200104][/DOUBLEPOST]

I think my game idea has just been destroyed xD.

Nah I'm still rooting for yours, but maybe that's just because I only read 1 of his many game ideas. That said, he just took from other people's ideas (and provided credit). He didn't come up with his very own idea, which is naturally much harder than finding ideas online.

 

[casket]

There was a video game I was trying to do in programming class that is in space

So the video game is basically this;

- You can play online with people (2-4 players)
- FPS (You shoot aliens and go in a mission to do experiments that would lead us to discover the whole space) (Looks like warframe but its a FPS)
- You can choose ur classes (Sniper, Shotgunner, those stufu)
- The main characters that appear in the history throught the game are Franix (A scientist that helps in doing toxic potions or other stuff) casket (He always appears in cutscenes killing zombies and saying "Woaly shit") Crime. (That keeps screaming in ur ear and watching anime and eating noodles and asa (The main antagonist)
- You can play in solo history mode or teams

See what u think about this

LMAOO +1

Here’s something really random but could be kinda fun.

You’re character is a cactus that try’s to suck up water and keep it and you can get upgrades like wells, longer lasting rain etc. You could have animals that try to eat you so you could upgrade your spikes to keep them off and stuff.

This is really random but I think it could be fun.[DOUBLEPOST=1545113701][/DOUBLEPOST]Also if you run out of water you would lose health.

Gonna be real this is still my favorite idea so far. Every other idea is either over complicated or unoriginal
