This is where we come up with a design document created by the members of this forum! I was thinking recently that I wanted to get my creative juices flowing, but didn't feel like contributing to a Writing thread, so I figured this would be a really cool thing to do as a forum and still be creative. Through polls and discussion, we're going to pick all of the features that would go into making a hypothetically awesome game, every facet of game play and game design is going to be outlined in our design doc. We can go as in-depth as everyone wants to go, the more specific and fleshed-out our end result is the better!
First thing we need to do is pick what type of game we want to make. If you don't see the option you want up there already, nominate it and if someone seconds it I'll add it to the poll. Keep in mind the "type" that I'm using is different from the genre, a.k.a. fantasy, sci-fi, horror etc. That's all for the next poll.
Game Type: Role Playing Game/Adventure
Game Genre: Horror or Western
Next Step Guys! 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. Get writing!
