[Mgccl]

[Comrade Ravenhawk]

well , i have my ideas but i wish the public to make ideas that i havent thought of.

its any genre game, post any ideas about any genre thanks

I think a better idea is to tell people what sort of genre the game is before asking for game ideas. Your just throwing yourself in at the deep end here. I have lots of ideas but they are all based around the racing genre so my ideas probabily arent any good if your not planning on creating a racing game lol

Been working on a racing game myself for a while..

Pic of the Flash Applet that is used for the actual racing
(cars on the side were sprites I didn't have set to hidden)

The flash applet basically records your acceleration and shift patterns. Then when someone wants to challenge you to a race it uses those saved patters to simulate you driving. This was so player's didn't have to be online all the time to race. Setup your shift pattern by racing against a computer opponent, save results and post your challenge

I basically reached the absolute limit of my Flash knowledge and it wasn't what I wanted so I have finally decided to out source the Flash development to an outside firm.

The actual game interface is something im looking for. Not too keen on the flash idea for racing though. If I had the knowledge I would have a go at something like this but im a complete noob so havent got a good chance of creating something like this  -|-

well, when i mean any genre,

i mean...

The owner of the game installs it onto there websever (host) and then they are guided through a installtion process which will include the game name and description and logo URL , but after that step the users pick the genre themselfs

so its not one fixed genre. Once then have picked the genre it sets the files to the genre type ( like Racing | then the users will only have a racing game interface )

you wouldnt have to code the game anymore. all you do is access the admin section and change the name and genre through the simple admin interface.

We at Lazy! have thought what could lazy people need to create there websites? and we came up with this

The coding throughtout this game would be compicated to understand for newbies and thats why we should make it fully interfacable.

by achieving this people will have different genred games

[Pug307]

Ok I understand what you are trying to do now, you should have just said that in the first place lol

[Zeggy]

Hmm.. so you want to create a game like exofusion, which is meant for other people to download and setup on their own server? Except that this game will be for all kinds of genres, and more customizable?
Nice idea, but I don't think it would be very easy to put all genres in there together.
I think it would be easier if you created the base of the game first, made a few copies of each, and evolve each copy into their own genre. Then put those ones up for download.

Here are some genres that might be opular:
RPG (stat-building)
Strategy (turn or tick based)
Racing (dunno, never tried one) - or other sports games

[Pug307]

A racing game could become very popular with the right ideas thrown in. AshRacing is getting very boring and there are no new changes. All the same people on the hall of fame etc so it's just getting repetitive. Someone with the right knowledge could do so much better.

well yes i was thinking of having on the admin panel a list of genres and the user clicked one and then it installed that game according to genre. the files not needed would be deleted by the install and then you have one fully working game.

just i need help creating the genres. Each genre would take atleast 2months by my self.

speed it up

That would definitely be very time-consuming.
I think it would be best to sell or distribute the different scripts/genres separately, as it would probably reduce the costs of one, and people who are only interested in getting one specific type would not have to get the full bundle.
