An RPG with no numbers. None. No health, no mana, no str, dex or agi, no skill points, no levels. The only numbers visible to the player would be the amount of money and items they have. Everything would be visual, aural and descriptive cues.
Nice idea. A MMO game with no visible stats, and a focus on exploration and treasure hunting (no grinding, just looting). Also, permadeath. It would be awesome. |

People should stop worrying about having original content that is completely new, and more on making a game that's actually fun to play.

Sometimes those are both the same. Playing the same thing all the time does get tedious and boring. |

This isn't completely or anything, but an idea I had would be a platformer with a deeper fighting system than just a kick and spin (a la arcade fighters, or something.) This falls right into the trap of "this.. except...", but the real 'meat and bones' would be in the story, which is about a drug addict trapped in an art museum dealing with his own twisted psyche, and the level design, with levels based on M.C. Escher or in which you have synthesizia, so the audio and visuals are reversed. Stuff like that. (PS: Where should I go from here? I have some more ideas for this game, but I don't think its appropriate to post them on this forum, and it's more fleshed out then many of the things on the "pitch your idea" forum, so I don't know where to go from here. Any ideas?  |

I have an idea for a game, where the player has to decide that he is done and has to go to the game over screen. Why should he want to do this? Because continuing the game will be harder and harder, so that he will decide: I stop now and submit my points (score).

This has been done many times before, but this does not make it a bad idea.
Tower of Greed uses this model: the player must continue to climb to avoid falling behind and perishing. Every so often, and exit appears. Do you quit, or stay longer for a higher score?
Risk vs. Reward, a staple of good game design.

That's not a bad idea, but this is the thread for things that haven't been done before. |

^ It'd be an upskirt perv's fantasy. How about a game with this projection?:  I've seen a better picture of it (in a natural setting), but I couldn't find it. |

It looks like the title screen for World of Goo.

I would really love to play a game like this. Also, the music in the video is gorgeous.
