[General Discussion] Do you have an idea for a unique game? Share it!

If you're like me, sometimes you just get tired of reiterations of the same types of games over and over again, with a few new additions and updated graphics.

Have you ever been sitting around and thought of a really cool idea for a video game that you haven't seen? Share it here, and provide as many details as you want! My hope is that people will share some of their ideas, and then if you are reading through the posts and know of a game that is already out there that is close to the same idea you can post the name or even a link so that people can find out about them.

Also, if you have been looking around and found a game that is quite unique and uncommon, please post that too - hopefully this will introduce people to some obscure and unique games.

For example (and this may sound strange!), one idea that I've had recently is for a unique little game where you start out in a big room, and when you walk toward a wall, you can walk onto the wall and the game around you moves to make the wall like the floor - essentially, the idea here is that gravity takes form wherever you actually walk, regardless of your relation to the earth, for example. In this way, you could access a variety of different places in a single environment, and this could work really well in a puzzle or platform type game.

Like the idea? Think its strange? Or even better, know of a game out there that's similar? Let me know!

Thanks

Jam it back in, in the dark.

orion_mk3, I like some of your ideas - I think you're right about most RPGs - they're either set far in the past or far into the future, but it's rare to find one that is set in a current time period (there may be a few, but not too many). Perhaps the reason for that is that people find the other stuff more exciting / different, but I think it would be nice to see a few more 'modern' ones as you put it.

Unfortunately, I don't have the programming skills either to bring some of my ideas to reality, but its still neat to see what kinds of things people are thinking about - and like I said, if someone sees something really close to what you're talking about, they can post about it.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Nice - now getting them to reality might be a little more difficult! Hehe, but ya never know

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Muehee - i think that actually sounds kinda cool

CHz - thank you very much for the link! That's exactly the kind of thing I was hoping for in this thread, to find some games like the ideas presented (as well as just sharing new ones) - and that's the concept I was thinking about in the first place.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
