If i spent all my time making a theme hospital type game where you have to manage a hospital or similar would anyone be interested in helping (i.e. programming, 3d design, level design) and would people be interested in playing this when it was finished, if you are interested in helping reply here or drop me a line at [email protected]
thanks
Rob

the idea has just developed into something more interesting. how about you run a grim reaper firm in which you have to control DEATH, DEATH OF RATS, and DEATH OF FLEAS. when you play as death you have to go out and complete deaths in a GTA style, when you play deaths of rats this will be a maze type gameplay, and death of fleas will be a platform type adventure. you will be able to choose who you play and when this will lead to many posible endings
hows this idea sound

so what will you be implementing to it? apart from ideas?

you cant just command people to make a gta type game you need to be playing an active role in the production of it, and since no ones completed a gta type game yet, so i dougt its about to start now

Spike,

Did you read anything in the Team Requests section at all?

It's full of posts about games that will never happen, and we all go there to mock and laugh at the newbies trying to get people to make their game with them.

I haven't read one that had a complete mind change by the second post!.


You need to sit back down and decide on a basic game idea that you can develop into a design brief, including plot lines, character concepts, building concepts, maybe a few test demos to try out the thoery. Then come back with a solid gameplan and knowing exactly how many people you need. If a team request post does'nt look like you spent some time on it, then nobody will ever want to work with you. I don't mean to lecture you here, but it's not a problem for you to start a project then dump it within a day or two, if other people are involved however, it's a whole different ballgame.

When you start planning you want just a few people, and you want to say to them - here's some concept sketches, see what you can come up with, or here's a rough layout of what the buildings need to do - what do you think the priorities are in our engine. etc etc etc.

yeh i agree with Van-B I dont think this GTA type of game will get off the ground. Your first idea sounded better a small mini game is a good idea not a huge GTA game....

vist my web site www.freewebs.com/bobgames

Also on page 2 of this site is my still on going alienware project
I know the competition has ended but I feel motivated enough to try and make a good game out of this
Van B I wasn't thinking of a full scale GTA game I said like a GTA game. I am writing up an idea list at the moment. Concept art will be completed by tomorrow and posted on my site (listed above)

After working on some concept art last night I have decided to make a revamped Theme Hospital game
ideas: Items come in classic mode and revamped mode (new models)
New problems to cure
Mini Games (Grim Reaper idea)
New machines to help patients
AVI's after curing first patient of each diesese
I have some concept art made up, so I am going to model these and take them into DarkBasic and preform some tests maybe then people will start to believe in this project

Thanks

I have made a reception desk and textured it just exporting it to direct x then doing some tests with it to see if i can get it reacting properly

Thanks

good idea, but cant you make a diffrent theme to a hospital,its been done, and how would your game be any diffrent? i was gonna make a game like a 'theme' based on a spaceship where you can fly the ship to diffrent systems and pickup diffrent aliens, but then i got lost in lines of code and gave up.

ps what did you make the shotgun model on, looks sweet, needs textures tho, looks too clean.
