Lee's Crazy Idea

First topic message reminder :

Alright, this is basic, but it came to mind, and I wanted to get some opinions from legitimate game creators.

Well, seeing how multiplayer games are becoming all the rage, and the increasing fascination (in America) with the dark, I think we could change the horror genre. You see, trying to survive, being scared, becomes all the more fiercesome once you can actually lose the game. It isn't left for dead, going through a level as a group, but you are trying to survive surprising and frightening situations, to make it out or be the last one alive. It should end with one survivor, and you should sometimes be treated by someone playing next to you suddenly dying. Players should be betraying each other for their own survival. Rare will you find someone you can trust. Maybe some sort of awards for amounts of times you win, to make it feel even more important.

What do you guys think?

A name...that's always the part I'm worst at. I'll get thinking on it.

Me too...

Take as long as you like.

I'd like to develop the concept a bit more before making a name, though I guess we could have a name for it while we work on it, subject to change. Game designers do that, as far as I know. Still, the concept is just a bit too vague right now.

You could make it kinda like this: http://www.zombiemaster.org/about.php

@Lee: Probably, but so is Mind of the Board and we've allready got a section for it.


@Kironi: That looks pretty awesopme. Perhaps you could get some inspiration from that. Thanks for the link!

It's a pretty awesome mod. No round is the same.

I think that's pretty much what Lee has in mind.

Lee, have you ever played Eternal Darkness? It's a game for the Gamecube that was designed to scare the player. I remember my brother was terrified of it.

You ought to look it up for a few ideas, because it was pretty twisted.

I think I'll look it up too.
