any1 think that they have made any new genres that arent strategy, racing, fps, etc.. thru all the known genres? something that is a genre all by itself?
if any1 nos any games made with darkbasic (classic or pro) that isnt anything that is normally made cloned of every single type of the genre, and isnt confused by that last line, post them here.
im sure every1 would love to see something special

we're at an unlucky age- we cant really come up with any new genres until better gaming technology is widely accessable- and then we can have VR battlegroundz with swordfights and the wooshing and the swiping nyoy nyoy klink

Thief! It's an FPS, role-playing, strategy game all in one. Best thing we can do is combine genres and make the most of it.

Full Specturm warrior could be considered a new genre... Its a mix between a Real Time Strategy and Socom Navy Seals.

Warcraft III, and a couple others already did the RTS/RPG one though.

Imagine how hard it would be to come up with a genre. Basically it's not like you officially announce "Okay, I have invented a new genre, the ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOP Genre", you make a game that would fit into several genres, except it's gameplay is so unique that the general public starts thinking of it as having no genre. Then people start making clones of your game, not necessarily bad. Somebody will play some clone and say, "Hey this game is cool" and somebody else will tell them, "Play this one(yours) instead, those other guys just copied off it, it rocks better", and that's pretty much free advertising. Anyway, all those clones bulk up so much that a new genre just comes into being.
