If you could make a game...

[SekoETC]

I've tried that. Generally people get scattered and with only a handful of players there's a lot of solo activities.

You tried starting one from scratch? The one I saw had lots and lots of players.

People getting scattered sounds like people don't want to play with other people, which isn't really a problem, if that's the way they want to play.

I was kind of hoping to find people who wanted to play with other people.

I'd make a third person shooter persistent zombie survival game with an extremely simplified physics engine for barricades and building buildings. It'd spawn you somewhere in a huge city maybe on the ARMA scale of
things with a physics engine like Crysis. HELL YEAH.

Note: Unless their CPU clocked at 20GHZ and a 256mb cache, no one would be playing this game. Not that Crysis had great physics, they weren't great. I'm just saying like, it'd have a massive amount of physics objects. Most engines crap out if you have too many entities anyway ;-; fricken source engine.

I´m making a game like Cantr with variations, in a far future after a war and the people need to build, repair and use, with NPC that you can pay for their job... i see that is complicated and i was very optimist when i started it

[djabad]

yes

That would be neat!

Without the NPC's.. The players form the communities. Only animals will be played by the computer. There will be player raiders, etc.

Would rock.

[djabad]

My idea is a world with NPC that can make missions, the player can reproduced with other, with vehicles and starships, with an universe to travel, but in a war, it´s like a Firefly universe

[Caesar]

Why NPC's? They pretty much take away from the experience. For me, that is.

If you'd put even one of them in Cantr, for instance, I'd leave immediately. (Don't you go get any ideas.)

And I hate pretty much all NPC vendors in every game.


But that's just my opinion, of course.

[djabad]

i love the human contact, but in some moments, you need some crew of NPC or robots, callthem as you want, you pay them and they work where yo say, if the game finally go well, perhaps i´ll finish the NPC, but now is necessary

[Caesar]

Well, even if we start with just a few players.. The world should not outlevel the players. Imagine megaton with two persons and twenty robots for inhabitants...

Who would have built those..?

[djabad]

The world is build, but is desolated, only the survivors, some buildings are ruined and you can recicle them to build new objetcs.

[Caesar]

So just some empty world.. As if you killed all of the human race but a few specimens..? And make the corpses dissapear?

[djabad]

there are some humans, a lot, exactly as the number of players, and some PNC.... corps, yes, i want put them
