Boro_Bandito:
Alright guys, this round of voting has ended with a tie! Both Horror and Western received 5 votes apiece, so they are the winning genres. So here's the next step;

Write a 1 to two sentence pitch for a video game idea based upon the above (intentionally broad) categories. Because the game genre was tied for this round of voting, it can be either Horror, Western, or both!. It must be an RPG, and can but doesn't have to include Adventure elements in the pitch. Once your pitch is written, it needs to be nominated at least once by someone else, and then it will go into the next poll. Whoever wins that poll is the idea that we go with and start to expand on.

So get writing!

LTK:
Aww man, just as I got a nice idea for a fantasy setting. Someone once pitched an idea for a world where magic and modern technology coexisted. I thought that could work if you played the angle of life and spiritualism on one hand, and science and engineering on the other. It's a pity this doesn't fall under Western or Horror. I'll be back once I have something to fit those.

Ozymandias:
Blood Meridian.

Scandanavian War Machine:
So this doesn't inherently fit into the "western" theme but you could make it so.

I had a basic idea for a survival/adventure type game where you play as a small child (I'm thinking girl, but maybe you could pick your gender, I dunno) who gets seperated from his/her parents at an amusement park, mall, or some other location.

Your goal is to find your parents (or be found by them, I guess) but the catch is that the longer you spend alone, the more your imagination starts to kick in and everything gets a little more dark, a little more sinister, and people who are probably quite friendly begin to loose their human appearence and look a little more monstrous.
You'd have to deal with concerned people talking to you, security guards maybe trying to "catch" you etc. etc.


Maybe even make it a semi-roguelike in that the "level" is randomly designed so as to be different each time; naturally there would be a bunch of different endings you could get.

- you bravely soldier on and find your parents. everything is great
- you puss out, hunker down and your parents find you. everything is great, but your poor little mind may carry the trauma forever
- you accidentally die somehow. Your parents cry.
- you get abducted by a creeper. Your parents cry.

I dunno. It has potential.

ackblom12:
I'm thinking of more of a Deadlands type dealio. Jesse James and his bandit gang continued to live on afterJesse James's assassination. Jesse, returning from the grave for some reason or another and slaughtered Robert Ford and several of the lawmakers in the area. You are of course one of several bounty hunters trying to take the zombie/wraith/ghost gang down.

More may come later, but I unfortunately am at work and a bloo bloo bloo.
