A Bug SRPG idea.

Bug Fights. not really my thing.  The battles seem a lil inhumane to me - especially when the one i'm rooting for loses.

Pokemon was based on a guy's former love of collecting bugs.  So I started thinking about a game that would be more about bugs.  Medabots is close, but I didnt want to copy that.  At first The idea was to base a game on robotic bugs which is kinna different, but as i kept thinking about the battles playing out, I kept imagining real bugs doing fantastical things.  So an SRPG using bugs with powers.  Disgaea with bugs?  FFTA with bugs?  I haven't started thinking about turn order or various other mechanics;  I just started thinking about the basic types of bugs that could be incorporated and the plot.  This is a game I don't think will ever be made, so I don't mind posting about it.

Need a Light?

Blurry imo, but I want to create a pyro character for one of my other game ideas.  First is the now stereotypical pyro, the second, i wanted one a little more bulky and a little different.  These are just the first ideas.  Clearly more work needs to done.

Bejeweled Battle Ideas!

here are some ideas i thought about on the walk home from a friend's house

I've been trying to get more ideas for the longest! and they finally came to me while walking home.  Feels good man

Another idea another old game.

I was thinking about how I wanted to hang out with my brother some more and get to know him a little better.  Sure we lived in the same home for 18ish years, but during our middle school and high school years he was out doing band things and i was out with my friends.  So we didn't really get a lot of time together for those years.  At least that's how I see it now, maybe it wasn't like that at all.  Either way, a handful of thoughts later, I thought it'd be nice to play catch and just talk.  Maybe this isn't how the idea came about at all.  But I want this game to exist:

Thoughts about this Puzzle

I lost a notepad doc that i hadnt saved because my computer started over while i was out walking.  What a bastard.  Now I must work on here once again as i should've been.

More thoughts:

bits of progress on bits of paper

So today I worked on some explosion patterns for the explosion chain reaction puzzle game... I haven't worked on the forcefield much at all, and i kept thinking about how big the chain reaction explosions could be.  The potential for excess is quite high.  I think if the chain reactions get out of control, it'd just be a show rather than a game.  That isn't something I want.  I really dislike how I have to do a decent amount of work just to get a proof of concept and see if it's feasible.  O well.  Such is the life of one you wants to create in this medium.

Also I've started using the backs of folded receipts as a notepad.  Inexpensive, and I can throw them away or w/e when i'm done.  probably gonna staple them together and archive them

New game Idea!

So I wanted to come up with another new game - new entirely.  A new mechanic unlike anything ever seen before.  Couldn't do it.  Not this time anyway.

But here's what I came up with:

REFLECTOR BELT GAME?

Ugh.  Started playing a bit of Spiral Knights.  I love the look and the feel of the game.  I also find the way micro-transactions are implemented to be ingenious.  I'd want Bomberda to look like Spiral Knights.

Here's an unrelated idea:

Rant rant idea rant rant

While ranting in response to a friend i wrote this:

blagrg

I bought a copy of Graphics Gale...I am frustrated.  Somehow the simple concept of layers is besting me.

I also bought Starcraft II.  But I haven't opened it or anything yet.

I have a new tool that could very well help me design pixelated things....Now I just need to figure out how to use it!

Back to WIGT!

I started thinking about things I needed to work on for WIGT once again (for now)

WIGT progress and a single FAITAR idea

I know he's not a barber, but let's make him one sans glasses + mustache - doofy smile.

Longer uglier skirt and some glasses and darker red hair like Dexter's.  That is what I imagine.  A different smile also.  This could be the teacher. 

Come the end of the day I was having trouble recalling any progress I might've made toward games.  Fortunately, I wrote down most of the day's ideas in a notepad that i rediscovered under some windows on my desktop.

Here they are:

FFA Card Game ideas and FAITAR concept

it was my birthday on the 25th and hardly if any ideas came to me that day.  Such a disappointment.

 In FAITAR, I guess the hero could take guidance from his "Fighter's Spirit" which could be like his gut instinct personified.

Here are some other ideas:

WIGT and a Free-for-All Battle Card Game

Today i worked on The Delivery Guy for WIGT... and a card game concept i mentioned the other day.

Cards games!

I worry that my future will be busy and as with the nature of being busy, i won't have time to think.  with out this time to think, my mind wont be able to wander and i won't be able to create more game ideas!

Today is about some card games.

FAITAR Questions and Concepts 5: Sizing Up and Healing

Today was a crappy day at work, but at least I got some ideas down and I'll be working a night shift soon which should give me more time to think.

Today's thoughts were about being able to size up your opponents before fighting them, Healing ideas, and EXP ideas and questions.

FAITAR Questions and Concepts 4: Weight, Inanimate Enemies, and Style Levels

 So in a game where Sumo wrestling is a style of battle, weight would then be a logical factor.  So I consider some things and start talking about others in this post.  There's also a small bit about counterattacks.

FAITAR questions and concepts 3: Healing, bonuses and Berzerk style?

Healing. 

Will only certain styles have healing techniques?

FAITAR questions and concepts 2: Luck, Damage, and Foes

Ideas about luck, extra damage, and more pre and post battle ideas:

Also, I should probably name these posts differently

and I regret not having a picture for this post.

FAITAR questions and concepts 1

Counterattacks. 

Card Cap?

This is for the card game I made up!  Clearly based on a standard deck of playing cards.  Names will need to be changed of course.  Dunno about the name of the game either

FAITAR?

I guess the basics of what a limb's stats would look like.  Up next to the level I could probably put the status  - Good, Broken,  Bleeding, w/e
I guess I'll also start putting a signature or something in the pics.  how ... corporate. blech.

I might have to rename my game because FAITA is another organization
This post will be more about the battle user interface.

such a skinny man.  I have another set of him in different clothes and with bigger arms, but i don't think that's as endearing of a character.

FAITA Concepts and questions Part 4

So I guess I'll do my brainstorming that isn't on a notepad in an open text thing on here and i'll try to keep making picture concepts to post at the same time

FAITA Concepts and questions Part 3

Yeah the image on the left doesn't have the same kind of stance as the one on the right, i'll fix it later.
This Entry talks about how battles will be initiated and what happens after battles, buildings that may be necessary, and consumable items. (edit 14mar2011)

Here's more questions and ideas from and for myself:

FAITA Concepts and questions Part 2

More game development ideas for FAITA

FAITA Concepts and questions Part 1

This idea was strongly influenced by Xenogears, Hybrid Heaven, and Valkyrie Profile among other games.
The idea is that this will be a turn based RPG that will be more about the fighting styles and heavy on the use of combos.

First post and purpose

So this is where I will be posting ideas for games that I want to be made.  I wouldn't mind terribly if someone else made the game; but I would kind of like to make them myself or with a team since it's my idea, y'know?  Generally one has a certain expectation of quality for their creations. 

Since I currently have no technical skill, I will post my notes and ideas here so I can share the ideas more easily in the future.
