I don't know if that'll be the final title, but it'll do for now.

Basically, you control an evil genius villain, sitting in his little control room in his stronghold. Heroes try to defeat you, but you can use your onscreen controls to operate traps, give instructions to minions (I'm thinking the ones you can order around can only build, but they can build automated fighting minions for you), and you can build robots, which you control with a similar method.

It'll all be mouse controlled, with maybe a few exceptions for when the player character is actually using a keyboard. Controlling a powerful robot with the mouse would be hard, but it also explains why video game bosses manage to be so incompetent!  Durr...?

Onscreen controls for when you're sitting in the stronghold would probably be modifiable, to account for new traps and such.

Squidi's excellent idea had some part in helping this idea come to mind, so thanks to him.

Anyways, this is probably way out of my league, but I'll give it my best shot. Wish me luck!

Cool idea  Smiley

Are you going to include the Evil Overlord List in some way?

I'm picturing an array of video monitors and numerous labeled levers.  And if you could record some cackling and maniacal laughter, that would be great. Smiley

I keep singing "Evil Dungeon Man" to the tune of "Secret Agent Man" in my head whenever I see this thread.  Evil

Exactly what I'm planning. I'm hoping to have the HUD as customizable as possible, so you can have several monitors if you want.

Plus, buttons don't come with labels. You have the choice of labeling them and wasting your space, or memorizing what they do and get more potential. You should be able to upgrade it as time goes on.

And if you could record some cackling and maniacal laughter, that would be great. Smiley
Excellent idea.
