yeah so the prize would end up in the hands of the best person to IMPLIMENT that idea ... you've always gotta be willing to push against the crowd - you never know you could beat out some of the more seasoned guys & gals here.

i'm making a platformer, maybe ... the game idea is comming along daily lil by lil - whether i choose to actually do it is a different matter though. Gonna create the main characters atleast i think, possible Ed's ride and i've already got a pretty realistic human model that i finished for something else - could alter that into a scientist and Soldier.
Still not sure howto go about the control system, especially with the gadgets.
So really my stuff is at a planning stage, where i might do something, i might not - not even sure if i wanna enter, just have fun creating a game with the character is enough for me.

remember there's like a million genres, FPS, RTS, Click'n'Point Adventure, Platformer, Racing, Strategy, RPG, Flying, Space, etc...
personally i think if someone could pull off a simple Startopia that would be good, combine a Strategy with just the need to create to an objective rather than an allout war.
i dunno, the ideas are endless really ... you could have a game where you've to fly around abducting cows without the farmer shooting you down or running out of time, possible with a few more obsticles in there.
or maybe you could make an air hockey game where the aliens spaceship is the puck... or you could make a football sim where all the players are these little alien guys. that would be pretty cool if they all had like little ray guns and could violently attack the opponent, perhaps make it a bit more interesting like a speedball clone.
just takes imagination really
