A game about nothing.

[Pookaball]

I have an idea!
The setting is a Sci-Fi world where everything is different from our planet and everything is run with science, mostly cybernetics. And EVERYTHING is automated, leaving people little or no job to do.
And, the Music! It's all electronic, even the "rock" and "pop"! It's artifical, not right, every "note" is wrong because it's computer generated, and you play the role of a musical rebel, who must compose (or help people compose) classical music with some ancient instruments. Once you make all the people on planet get used to classical music, you win.
This game might be pretty much like "Liberal Crime Squad"

Replacing my last confused post with a more cemented one. Virtual pet meets psychological horror. Take care of your not-a-tamagotchi critter by giving it anything it might need. Food will keep it full, with different kinds of food balancing its health and its happiness, toys and exercise give him something to do, and of course, it needs cleaning up if you don't like crap on the floor. Oh yeah, and don't let the shadow monsters and wraiths of lost memories kill your lil' guy either.

I had this odd concept for a ten-minute RPG. The main premise is that all of the more popular character races and classes have been licensed by now, so everyone needs to make do with the more obscure and ridiculous ones. Choose from races like squids and cardboard robots, become a powerful fisherman or a garlic sorcerer, and save the world.

I say ten-minute RPG because, let's face it, that's about as long as the joke remains funny.

[BattleBeard]

An world where most characters are animals. Sounds furry, I know, but this presents an interesting array of abilities per species and fits the more cartoony style of the game I am pitching. A independent organization wants to find the fragments of an artifact that was left behind by a person experimenting with time travel. He himself wrote that the artifact, once put together, would create a portal to the core of time where one could edit time itself and change everything, person by person, or solar system by solar system. Your town gets rampaged by the organization while they are searching for it--destroying whatever gets in their way--and are jailed. A year later, you manage to escape, with unique weapons such as a "staple gun" or items like a "scary mask" to fight against an army.

It's a top-down shooter. You're a bat.

[Sir Raptor]

A game where the primary weapon is the coins you collect. You can toss them individually at enemies Yoshi's Island style at first, then you learn new, more powerful skills, like razor sharp dollar bills, or money bag grenades. Obviously, stronger attacks will use more money.

I imagine the main character would be something like a dashing Robin Hood style bloke, stealing from the rich and then using the stolen goods to blast them out of their gold-plated sky yachts.

[Udderdude]

Doesn't sound very interesting unless you have the player choose between using the money as a weapon or spending it on non-money related items to use.

Sounds good to me. What would those include, health upgrades and such?

maybe you have to buy stronger technics?

I like games that focus on one resource.

Your idea reminds me of

[Rat Casket]

So, I had a weird thought regarding talking swords. And talking armor, and any other game or movie or anything with equipment that talks.

An RPG with randomly generated pieces of equipment and weapons that can all talk. Their stats and secondary skills are all randomized, but their personalities are too. Equipping two particular pieces can give special combat boosts or penalties, depending on how well they like each other.

Example: play a paladin with poison-resistant attention-obsessed heavy armor and a magic-boosting tsundere fire sword.

Take the next logical step and make them swappable characters in a team rather than pieces of equipment.

But thats not the idea.

[vids]

Take any JRPG, the overworld becomes Temple-Run, combat sequences turn into Fruit Ninja and other events are represented by small games like Find the Hidden Object etc.

You glue these scenes together with some dialogue (with little player choice) and tell an interesting story. Then, you break the fourth wall and ask the player what they got out of collecting coins for the past couple of hours.

[Udderdude]

Why not do that after unlocking everything in Wario Ware?

[vids]

All I'm asking for is a couple of lines of text between one-two minute stretches of what players understand as 'addictive' gameplay on mobile platforms. I've pitched this to some people and they don't think it's that great, players don't want to wade through text, not even one or two lines apparently.

I just want to make this small experience which could leave players thinking about what they come for, give them something to munch on you know? Do you think this is a good idea, at all?

[gimymblert]

A jrpg wario ware style might damn interesting, move around the world, random mini game! I miss the random "actual" encounter ie not just battle but random "you find a treasure", "you meet a caravan", "you meat some elf", "you meet a caravan", "you meet a shop"

You think it would be worth it? I mean, would people like to play something like this, would you? Could this kind of a game hold players long enough for me to tell a short story?

This is what it looks like right now.

(Placeholder art)

I've got a neat parser that reads a storyboard off a lisp file like this:

Code:

(message "Mom - 'Hurry up and get ready for school!'")
(run)
(set $shortcut
       (choice "Jerry - 'Are we taking the shortcut?'" "Sure" "No")
)
(pitfall)
(findobject "params")

I didn't get a positive response from some friends I showed this to.

Ideally the stuff you can buy would all be defensive or escape oriented, while the money-as-weapon is purely offensive based.

People respond to graphics. The sudden black screens for text give me the impression that this is going to be an artsy style game, which is both uncommon for smartphone and not the best format for your rpg. Plus it's just an uncomfortable shift. Ideally, do it the way an actual rpg would, with a picture of the person talking and a text box at the bottom of the screen.
