Interesting idea I have for a game..

(Don't laugh at this..)(and It's not related to MUGEN)

I don't have a title for it but...

Here's the story..

"A guy goes into a party store and purchases a balloon for his daughter's birthday.He leaves the store and drives home, when all of a sudden, he enters this hellish-like world(not Silent Hill) and then his car breaks down and he has to walk home.But he feels that something is watching him...He trys to walk back home, then a demonic monster appears, he runs and he manages to go into a safe place...He is trapped in a world that is like hell...but he knows he must get home in time for his daughter's birthday...But in order to get home, he must battle these hellish-demons.."

a bit of a lackluster story..

anyways for the gameplay:

The game features a healthbar like most survival-horror games, but you have something extra and that you must protect...The Balloon.
The enemies will attack not only the player, but they will also try to attack the balloon...
You must not only make sure the player runs out of health, but you must make sure the balloon doesn't pop(after all the guy is trying to get home in time for his birthday..).The balloon can only suffer three hits, then it's popped.If the player dies or the balloon pops, you get a game over.

There is also limited ammo and rocket launchers and grenades are absent..
You are armed with only a knife, a thing of mace(it only stuns the enemies for a VERY short amount of time) and a crowbar..

You do get guns in this game, but only handguns and shotguns..
Handgun ammo is a little hard to find and shotgun shells are rare...


There will be blood,gore,headshots,disturbing sights(this game will also feature the uncommon feature that was in Call of Cthulu that was that the player will react if they see a headless corpse, etc..however the player does "man up" somewhere in the game..),murder cases you may solve to unlock extra stuff,you may also exorcise demons and put spirits to rest to unlock stuff,there will be multiple endings (just like silent hill, except no joke endings),you can also play as 7 other characters(of course you must beat the game at least once),also expect enemies with chainsaws that will not only decapitate you, but will also cut up your characters's body(and you get to see the whole thing before you get a game over)..

This is my original game idea I thought...

Would choosing me for the question thread be a
unique experience?  I can't really say.

BUMP

and I don't know why this was moved in to Idea Engineering...

Because I said "(and It's not related to MUGEN)"

Anyways on topic

More of the story:

"He stays in the safe place for while and he finds a book that tells about the history of the town he is stuck in..
He opens up the book and he finds that the book is missing pages..He takes the book with him and decides to venture out into the hellish-world..."

anyways still a bit lackluster...

As for the goals of the game..

To get the first ending(good and canon to the story) You must:
*Collect all the missing pages of the book
*Find the tools required to fix your car
*Get out of the town


Now as the game goes..

You must beat all 16 chapters in order to beat the game and get out of the town..

Would choosing me for the question thread be a
unique experience?  I can't really say.

No it's an idea for a survival-horror game..


and there will be rape...

You may have seen Pyramid Head doing something to a mannequin in Silent Hill 2...
but this will be different...

You will watch people kill themselves right in front of you..

You will see illusions the guy's family turn into monsters

Yes I know that but...

The brightness will be toned WAY down in that scene or I'll remove it(It will have no use in the game except for just scaring the player and that's it)

I want to trump Silent Hill..

You will see a nurse(a human one anyways..) violently turn into a monster(blood spurting everywhere)

My original idea had you playing as a kid instead of a adult..

But I figured "Well a adult can handle something like this better than a kid.."

Probably trying to outdo any game in terms of horror intentionally would be a bad idea, I think. You wouldn't want to force horror.

I think having a kid as the main character would be a great idea! Well, as long as he's/she's younger than the stereotypical teenager. Maybe when the character in the game sees something disturbing, he/she goes into a small panic and the player loses some control of the character (like the character walks slower or jumps back or maybe just turns around and runs). It would be more frightening to the player if he had to fight to remain in control of the character.

Wasn't the whole losing control thing done in one of the Clock Tower games? Or was I mistaken?

And don't try too hard. A good horror experience isn't the incoming headlights, it's the kidney's that's been missing from your back for 5 seconds now.

I have no idea... I've never experienced it in a horror game before. Then again, I haven't really played many horror games lately.

Agreed. If you want to give the character an item to protect, make it something less vulnerable... Like a cute little puppy?

Hmm... >:D

However don't you remember "LEON!HEEEEEELLLLP!" "HELP ME LEON!"
Yeah, some people won't forget that...

however instead, the kid will be frozen in fear..

however I would have to change up the story a bit...Wait!
Never mind..because I said that you could play as 7 other characters(although you have to beat the game at least once though..)

Great!Now I have two playable characters for use in the game(The main character and one of the characters that becomes avaiable after beating the game once..)

Now there might be online..but no headsets,chat or the like....

You will be pentailized if you spam attacks or  do something wrong(like griefing,etc.)

You need something to protect and having it as a balloon makes the game harder because the balloon will pop after three hits..

No rape scenes. There is a reason why only a extremly few horror movies have rapes scenes (they are all back then).

There is no plot.

No story.

Here, im going to write my version. Now i've been thinking about this a while too. It's a "different" version of Alice In Wonderland. Not Mcglees Alice.

A 17 year old teen is in a coma. While in his comatose state he enters Wonderland. Wonderland represents the mind of a human being. Once he is there he sees all these horrifying things but is saved from someone. He knew this person as he saw him in a videogame before. Sheogorath the Prince of Madness. As you venture futhur, you see more familiar people and characters such as Kratos and  Neo. The main mission is to overcome the darkness inorder to wake up. The 17 year old suffers depression and a mental disability (Lets say borderline Autism). There is a place in this game where you can view your past called the Library. The gameplay isn't your traditional survival horror as you would use you can use brutal ways to kill monsters by using the Satsui no Hadou aka anger that you have been dealing with for years and releasing it on the monster. There will be a point where you have to face your darkside.

I posted something similar at MI and it's much better written than this  :P but its down right now.

Do not try to just scare the audience, you want them to feel/care for the character. Don't think about the most bloodiest thing cause that is a major turnoff cause it would make them focus what they see and not to feel.

My fail grammar FTW

i think we should call it an "engine" so we don't look like total idiots because otherwise we'd be arguing about a "game" and that would be somehow "dumber" than arguing about an "engine" on the "internet" for countless hours

I'm also going to switch it up a bit..

Instead of a balloon...I'll have it where you find a 15-year old girl that you in the town and you must protect her...

and don't worry she won't be like Ashley from Resident Evil 4..

Im right here you know.  --;

You're actually going to make a game?

And if your going to take my idea, please do it right. And just cross out the whole "balloon/little girl" thing cause it's just another RE/Silent Hill cliche and its not a good idea in the first place.

You need to add something where little to none horror games/movies have... A good story and feeling.

If you're going by my idea and actually make it a game, have it where the further you progress, your hometown gets brighter.  And have the Gigyas 2nd forum image appear in the sky, only the fetus though.

And there'll be guns. And blood. And explosions, and PPPKKCHHEWW and BOOOOOM, and shit right?

Sorry for necroposting but this is related to the game

and It's a idea for boss(part of the inspiration goes to Orochi Paladin..)


Now basically the boss is a decapitated cadaver(or corpse) that moves around and it has blood gushing out of it's neck(like it's been decapitated recently) through out the fight and at the second form  it's stomach expands to reveal a dead "fetus" still attached to a umbicail cord and the "fetus" comes back to life and it attacks the player and very disturbing music plays..

and I'm also getting rid of the "balloon/girl' idea

I may also put some symbolism(something used in Silent Hill) in the boss I mentioned above, some kind of trauma that character had suffered in the past.

The boss will be obese(childbirth) in ways and the fetus(demonized version of the player as a embyro) is a essential element..

One idea would be that the monster is headless is that the mother was decapitated by the father(The Familar Man, possible character idea) in front of his child(the main character) in the past..

I'm definitly aiming for a M(high end) rating..
