Black Holes!

[Psiblade94122]

alright, i have been enlightened by the wonders of starcraft once again!

once i get my comp back, ill start working on this new idea... i shall reveal the idea right now.... just give me a couple more lines and all get to it.. yesss

Idea name: Black holes
Type of game: Ummm... Katamari? closest thing to it!
Tile set: Blank
Features:

Black Hole generator: Sucks up random things (mostly asteroids and other random things)

BHvBH: black hole vs black hole! pit your black hole agenst another players black hole! whoever wins absorbs the other players black hole! <yep, a pun off of pvp>

Assimilation : The black hole will start out with things inside of it, the things inside of it in turn will attack <everything is ranged, but the ranges will vary> When you kill another thing, that thing will be revived under your control, and become part of your black hole

The game will start small, and as players get bigger, their hole will get bigger and the camera will zoom out, then the game will spawn bigger objects for you to suck up

If your black hole is assimilated you loose <obviously -_->


This project is a mini project I'm shoving because im getting bored with my other project atm

 

[Squll2]

sounds interesting ^^ ill test it.. i guess

 

[morno]

sounds fun i think it can be a minigame for like Uther's Party or somthing new like: Jaina's Games

 

[Cookie]

haha sounds interesting except that i have no idea what katamari is!

 

[Psiblade94122]

katamari, a game where you basically roll things up, start from small things like candy and toys, all the way to land masses and countries around the world

altho i would like to start on this project right away, i currently do not have a computer that can support WcII TFT at the moment.

i might change it so that it takes place on an island or something, something mor warcraft... but its all the same idea ^_^

What would the players do to affect the blackhole? From the description so far all i can imagine is a big black hole that kills and grows and kills and grows. Will players designate targets? Pick attack types?

The general idea with the grow black hole sounds cool though, i'd love to try it.

 

[Psiblade94122]

umm... thats basically it.. kill to grow

The game in a nutshell

Black Hole -> kill -> unit killed becomes a part of the black hole -> killed unit now attacks other units -> repeat from kill

so during the BH VS BH battles, whoever is winning in the battle will get a even bigger upperhand because the units the winner kills becomes a part of the black hole that belongs to the winner, in the end youll have a uber black hole, the whole game is speed, you dont need to think... its all speed

 

[WhoIsJG]

I guess what I meant to ask was other than sitting in front of the computer staring at the screen and watching their black hole grow what is the interactive part.

 

[Psiblade94122]

you controle the black hole directly, the traditional warcraft III movement system, the units you suck up moves with the black hole when you move it (they still attack if anything is near)

 

[WhoIsJG]

Ah ok, I thought it was stationary. Now it sounds like even more fun.

 

[Psiblade94122]

-_- my vendor got me a faulty hardrive for my main comp, its going back to the shop tomorrow (and I'm getting yet another one for free because of the warranty) XD
In sorry i have to keep on delaying this... i really want to start working on it T.T

 

[Psiblade94122]

WHAHOO!!! my bros comming to visit tomarrow, ill be able to start production then!

And starcraft Gave me yet enother idea!! The basics of the starcraft map, you controle a corair, and you try to make the other corsairs fall into an abbys by destroying the ground via Disruption web!

My variant, you controle Tanks and you shoot rockets at the ground, the catch? Under the flooring there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING , if you move to that area you will fall to your doom! <or if your shot in> To keep things going, and to kill the afkers and campers, after each kill the play area will shrink!

This is going to be a DUBBLE MAP FEATURE!!! WOO HOO!

 

[WhoIsJG]

Worms World Party!!!!

Sounds fun.

 

[Psiblade94122]

Not entiraly

Alright, since your compareing it to worms anyways... then immagin (from a side angle) the floor consists of ONE pixle, meaning any dent = you dead.
Now turn the camera so its a birds eye veiw, so the floor is one pixle thick and now its 3d with a X and Y like grid <the explosions will not be a perfect circle, it will be more like a .... well something like this

[ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ]           Legend...
[ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ]           O = Area shot
[ ][ ][ ][ ][X][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ]           X = Destroyed area by AoE
[ ][ ][ ][X][X][X][ ][ ][ ][ ]           
[ ][ ][X][X][O][X][X][ ][ ][ ]
[ ][ ][ ][X][X][X][ ][ ][ ][ ]
[ ][ ][ ][ ][X][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ]
[ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ]
[ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ]
[ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ]

OK, now take away worms Turn base system and Boom! You now have my game

 

[sevensc]

This worms idea is part of the black hole map? Are you getting a bit ahead of yourself?

 

[Psiblade94122]

yes i am, and i need somewhere to hold the idea for now, i want to make both games
<starcraft has too many good maps and ideas!>

 

[chovynz]
