Hey, I had an idea for a video game, so, about 10 of my friends and I are making a short demo-level of it (this is because we don't want to make a full game, but a guy from Bungie who came to talk at our school told us we need to show game-play if we want to sell it to a real studio). I was wondering if you guys thought it seemed like a good idea. Now, I can't go into detail or anything, lest my idea is stolen, :P However, to put it very very simply, It is an MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online RPG, like, EverQuest or World of Warcraft (assuming they ever finish the damn thing)), yet, it is from a first-person-perspective, with first-person-shooter gameplay. Oh, and it's mission based (like Guild Wars, for those of you who played their E3 demo online, like me :D). Oh, BTW, i forgot, if you are so inclined, you can do a lot of -blam!- with vehicles, stealth, sword fighting, etc. And it's set in Halo times, therefore, there are guns, and swords, and magic (What? I couldn't resist, so sue me).

This shouldn't be posted here, and anyway, you barely share any info. We can't really judge it.

Why not? I mean, these are the type of gamers I would think would find such a game fun and interesting. 'Sides, it was a guy from bungie who got me started on the whole thing when he came to talk at my school (he's an alumn). I just want some feedback, the general idea, like, "isn't it trying to be too much at once?" or "I've always wanted to play an RPG with FPS action!"

This will go to the Underground. That is all about Bungie. This specific forum is for Halo 2 only. But anyway, your new, so I should cut you some slack. Welcome, and the game sounds ok so far.

hmmmmmm.......... good point, it is similar to Deus Ex isn't it.... odd, since i never played the game myself, merely heard about it, and promptly forgot (not becuase it doesn't sound kick-ass, merely because i have ADD). However, as far as i know (and feel free to correct me) Dues Ex doesn't have you "level-up" in a tradtional way, a la KOTOR, or, for that matter, 99% of RPGs everywhere.

Never said I was, I just said that there are specific places topics must go. I am not trying to act like I am the ultimate one or something.

I'm jsut a bit confused about the guy asking about the game being in production. Do you mean that it could only be an MMORPG if it was being made by a big studio? If so, yeah, ur right, and that's why we want to sell the idea (oh, and, there's the whole thing of wanting to make tons of money). The game demo my friends and i would make would only be multi-capable over LAN connection, otherwise it'd be too complicated for us. Sorry i cant go into more detail, I have 15 pages of single-spaced type at home. If anyone has questions i might be able ot answer 'em, so, dont be afraid to ask (-blam!-, i got kicked outta the library, scratch that, no questions for now! :P)
