    If you could create a video game, what would it be about?

    What will the story, concept, gameplay, music, and art be like? Use your creativity and post your ideas here! Who knows, some developer might find your idea good and make a game based out of it!

    My videogame would be an adventure game where in the king of your country selected you and a few others to go on an expedition on an unexplored floating island (the game is set in a steampunkish era where airships are used) . The objective of the game is to explore the island and find whatever treasure/discoveries you find there, and with every discovery that you find, the king will give you rewards and fund your expedition further. The island is filled with alien wildlife and some natives that can teach you how to survive in the island if you manage to befriend them. The game will also have a mix of management and strategy because of the limited supplies in the game.
    You can also choose to be the Captain, Quartermaster, a Soldier or any other member of the expedition crew.

    I think this game would be a great one if they ever make it because devs don't make these kind of games anymore where you can do what you want and make different outcomes from it.

    oh, and if you think someone's idea reminds you of a similar game, please acknowledge the posters!

    Another thing. Post something that can be actually be made into a game. No HURRDURRYOUCANDOEVERYTHINGINTHISGAME stuff. Make something creative and at the same time appropriate that it can be an acceptable concept.

    my game would be impossible to make realistically... here is why...

    its an open and living world like sims 3, gta4 and skyrim. it take place in the medieval time and its an action rpg. however the game itself have no limitation to what you want to do in it. the goal of the game is to win, but you define what the definition of win. you can do anything in the game no limitation, want to become a king, you can either achieve it by assassinating the current royal family or work on rank the old fashion way. want to rape every woman you see in the game? go for it. want to settle down and start a family? go for it... want to become world domination, go for it... fancy some genocide? sure.

    however everything you do in the game might come back to bite you in the back, if you commit crime, the loyal law keeper will hunt you down, if you spare someone, he or she might either come back for revenge or help you later. have sex with woman in the game, hope you are ready for a child.

    the game world is constantly changing, everything you did affect the game world whether good or bad. the game is living which mean it can and will move on without your character...

    and the best thing is you can create new character but choose to continue on in your current world... so if you screw up the world with you previous character, you can attempt to fix it when a new character. if you have a child in the game you can choose to play as the child instead.

    actually its more like a combination of sims 3 (unending living world without a definite goal), skyrim (RPG living world, opened goal) and gta4 (freedom of doing whatever you want) but with alot more freedom, larger scale and more extreme.

    what the fuck is wrong with you? actually don't answer.
    - this is it what it boils down to isn't it? you don't want a game, you just want a method of facilitating your rape fantasies
    - does this include rape babies? this is the type of shit i imagine you enjoying

    like i say anything goes, rape is just a possibility. Total freedom, the only limitation is the player imagination.

    Want to rape baby, sure go for it if you are prepare to deal with the consequences later. i already pointed it out, everything have consequences, everything you did will escalate in the big picture. sound familiar? its just like the real world.

    and i already pointed out wasnt possible to made realistically and one of the reason is there is close minded people like you in the world. People who scream "OMG this game let you rape babies" and totally forget about the big picture. this is why there is people like Jack Thompson working to ban GTA4 just because it let player to shoot innocent people but totally forget about the consequences of the game impose on player who choose to shoot innocent people.

    The best part of it is that's the second example you placed on what you can do.

    I want a 2D platformer, sprite based with 3D backgrounds, which generates terrain based on the music you enter into it.

    It will sell huge on steam, I tell ya. Will win awards and shit. It will score 80+ on metacritic, and it will contain 0% rape and babyfuck.

    Critics and children will love me, and I will receive a medal.

    - You can have that without including aspects and features such as rape into the video-game. Aspects which would have an adverse affect on society, mainly woman, outside of video-games. Can you really not see why this is an issue?
    - Now you see, the thing is, I meant 'rape babies' in the same sense Ricky "rape babies are a gift from god" Santorum did. That being children conceived through rape and not raping toddlers, because that would be FUCKING INSANE. It's not the real world because it's a fucking video-game. They're are no consequences, you can turn the game off and the end of the day with your sick fantasies intact.
    - Yeah ok, I'm close minded. Maybe I should go out and try raping. Any volunteers? Oh wait, that won't be necessary.
    - You seem to be implying that people being against baby rape is a bad thing.
    - No, no it's not. This situation is not even comparable.

    You went straight from 'player can do whatever and anything they want' to 'rape ALL the women'. When most people would be quite contempt riding around on their personal T-Rex preparing for their space fight with Cthulu.

    no, if you have limitation it wont be total freedom. you have to take the good with the bad. the real world have no limitation except those we (the society) put up ourself to protect ourself. so for a game to have total freedom, you cant set up the same line that you arent willing to cross in the real world. that isnt total freedom. that is you are free within a set of rules which is what every game currently have done...

    the game isnt focus on rape all the woman as you suggest, but the player can do so if they wanted to because they can do whatever and anything they want. its up to the player.

    and i'm sorry i misunderstood your term for rape babies, im my game any sexual encounter with an opposite gender might result in a child (including the player if the player is female), including rape victim. i would imagine that it will have a negative impact on the game world if there is too many rape victim with babies. Action and Consequences. you cant have a living world without those thing.

    that is what stop you from understanding my game, you think its just a game that can be turn off at anytime hence no real consequences. the game feedback to the player is its own consequence, seeing the game world die and rot is its own punishment.

    Take sims for example, you can kill sims in many ways... but is that what sims player do? well at one point yes (we all kill sims when we are bored with it), but its not the only thing they did because by killing sims the neighborhood start to die and in some case fill with ghost reenacting thier death.

    Has it not occurred to you that the rules are in place to protect society for a reason. Having a game that functions outside of these rules, with no consequences for such behavior other than the game world gets a bit shitty (but it's ok you can create a new character and fix everything), would be detrimental for the social development of the young men who would make up the majority of it's user base; and before you even bring it up, rape in videogames is not the same as murder in videogames.

    I'm not saying rape shouldn't feature in videogames but it must be done in a grown up and mature manner which treats the issue with the sensitivity it deserves which this sure as hell isn't. Ok fine, let people do what they want, but it has to be within reason and appropriate to the context. Developers have a responsibility to not create a breeding ground for rapists, paedophiles and sex offenders; if you can't see that then I give up. The fact that you can just walk up and start having sex, probably even has it's on little mini game, with whatever woman you want would continue videogame industry's habit of demeaning and objectifying women; something that we should be working to remove from popular media.

    You'll need to retype whatever the fuck that last point was meant to be in English and without all the negatives.

    I'm not saying it is, the issue that Nat raised was that when describing your game you went from 'lets become King' to 'lets rape every woman I can see' which suggests that you just want a rape simulator and people will rightly call you up on that. Like it's not even a second thought for you, just lets rape everything.

    I think it's a game that can be turned off at anytime with no real consequences because it is a game that can be turned off at anytime with no real consequences. No it's not, seeing a virtual world die is not a real punishment when you can just reset the game and start all over again, can you not see the distinction between what happens in the game world and what happens in the real world?

    What point are you making? What are you trying to say? Ok you can kills Sims and?

    *face palm*

    you seems to think that my game are totally have no law... wrong, you cant a functional society without having laws, so you cant really simulate a real society without having some law as well. action and consequences, if a player decide to walk in and rape someone, the player will have to face the justice in the game. however the player can change the law when they in power. sound familiar? its how the world works. it have no rule but the rule that we set up for ourself.

    what do you mean by "rape in videogames is not the same as murder in videogames."? do you mean that murdering someone is o.k? the way i see it, rape is just as serious as murder.

    in order to simulate everything it have to simulate everything so no, no fun sex mini game like in GoW. if you are going to rape someone in my game its going to be just like real rape down to psychological impact on the victim. if you want to include option to do harsh thing in the game you better do it right. otherwise why bother doing it.

    and i think its insulting if you think i'm going to make rape seem fun.

    i also mention genocide... wow people think genocide very lightly....

    if you want to let the player to be become a criminal, why not give they the option to commit every possible crime.

    can you? just because people do bad thing in the game which allow them to do it doesnt mean they are going to behave the same way in the real world. the sims bring out the dark passenger in everyone, do we see a sudden boom of serial killer? gta4 promote gang war do we see the rise of gang war and violent crime?

    most people are good by nature or good because they have a reputation to keep in the real world they arent going to become criminal just because they play a game that allow them to become one.

    so are you saying people are just going to throw away everything they did in the game, hours spends on something they work on by restarting just because they screw up the world? if you think people would do that then you really havnt meet any real gamer.

    If there was one extra rule added to this topic: "This game must be able to pass Game Rating Certification.

    Your open-world anything-goes rapefest will be R'd and X'd straight away, rating boards won't care about "consequences", only the fact you can perform those acts in the first place. Your game will never see commercial release.

    If i created a game it would definitely be a console style Rpg Like star ocean till the end of time/tales series. The story would focus around the main character which would either be a boy or a girl and depending on the selection of gender the story would rotate around his/her decisions and the outcomes of it. it would be like mass effect or the new gen games where everything changes the storyline but yet it will stick to the old style fighting methods.it would be a real time battle game like star ocean and tales of was. the story would be about a guy/girl having the ability to dream and once they are dreaming to be able to manipulate their dreams/lvl up and stuff like that.once they woke up depending on what they did on their dreams the world would be changed either to the better or the worse.
    thats what i can think of now if i think of something else i will update :p

    Why you would keep arguing and defending your impossible game, then, is beyond me.
