Well, I think the way to go now-a-days is with a strong story backed game. If you could even give me a "zombie" game with
something else besides the usual (story-wise, aka making me care) then that would totally be alright. Maybe you would
consider something completely off the wall or unusual by having a cool puzzle game or just something within the limits of
FPSC (avoiding a clone of any game already on the boards). To put it frankly, I think good interactive game is the way
to go.

I myself am trying to create a good story to go on so I don't know if I could share right this instant; I do wish you luck though!

I get ideas from books or movies. It somewhat limits me to only the genre/s I enjoy, but then we're always going to do better at things we enjoy. What type of game or story do you like best?

I would like to give you ideas, but can you narrow it down a bit? My first thought is some kind of romance. I don't think I've seen that done before in a FPS. In Prey maybe. How about it's around 1980, Eastern Germany. You and your girlfriend are in some kind of underground tunnel system below the Berlin Wall, trying to make it to the other side. You get seperated, while the NVA is closing in on you. You can listen to your girlfriend via radio (voiceovers) and desperately try to join up with her again. maybe you get trapped, the perspective changes. You then play the girlfriend trying to safe you. Finally you make it to the western part of the country, being greeted by your family the wall has seperated you from for years. Yeah, I'm German so this was kind of obvious. But I'd really like someone to take the romantic route.

Kind regards, Caveman

Please make this game... or I might. That is all I'm saying.

I've got a few ideas that i'll probably never get around to doing but here's one:

"Zombies Are People Too" or "ZAPT"
You play as a ZoxFam worker (ZoxFam is a charity set up to support those unfortunate souls who have turned to naughty Zombie ways).

Basically you have to heard a small group of zombies through a city to a safe house. You will have to fight off angry gangs of anti-zombie protestors on your journey through the city as well as avoiding bites from your zombie followers.

I also thought of a mechanic where you could drop or release some food to distract the zombies whilst you dealt with the protestors, but the food would only distract your zombie mates for a few seconds before they would turn their attention to you and the protestors.

I got some distance with the zombie AI, but didn't get anywhere with the food mechanic.

@ ASTEK & xX TOXIC Xx
I am very flattered that you guys like my idea. Astek, I very much agree with what you said in your first post. Consider it signed!

Toxic, I would really like to play that game, if you should decide to make. If you do, I wanted to ask you to consider two things, please. First, try to make the player feel emotionally attached to the characters. If the player must save the girl, they better like her
Second, I would love to see a little historical accuracy. Not just in the visuals but maybe the characters talking about persons or events of that time. I think stuff like that adds a lot to the atmosphere.

You said, you would like to make a scifi game. I thought about that a little. It's a vaaast genre. If you want to do aliens and stuff, you may want to reconsider. I don't think there are many alien characters available. You could look into the horror characters but I think it's going to be difficult. If you want to do a more down-to-earth story, that would of course be very possible and as a scifi Fan myself I would like to play it. I don't think there are enough FPSC scifi games out there.

The following is a quick scifi idea that I had. Not really a storyline, just an idea. I am unsure about it myself, so don't worry, I won't die, if you don't like it:
It's starts in a kind of medieval society. There is digging going on. Maybe mineshafts, maybe archeological diggings. There you find a strange artifact. Maybe a datapad. Surprisingly it's written in your own language and it gives you clues on where you could find more. slowly you uncover that you are decendants of a human society that was once very star trek-ish but got destroyed by a catastrophe. Without power, without technology humanity reverted back to a more primitive lifestyle, memories of the past were forgotten and now humanity has to invent and learn everything all over again. Maybe the clues lead you to the relics of an old city. there you can activate an evelator that sends you into orbit, where you learn that you are not actually on a planet but on an artifical satellite... etc etc bla bla.
I guess that's enough mysteries. If you want, you can fill in the blanks now :-P And if there are Babylon 5 fans among you, yes, i was inspired by one of the episodes

Kind regards, Caveman

PS. I would prefer to see the first story made into game though

My first game idea (its not very good but still...) it would be a:
A shooter: (this `aint gonna be brief)

Its 2064.
The huge waves of radioactivity circling the whole world made terrible mutations to humans and animals. The only remained nation of people that lived through the many nuclear disasters had all: oil, food and water. But due to radiation levels their face mutated forcing jaw bones to grow longer and pushing the muscles in the lower face area.
So they couldn`t smile, couldn`t cry or even talk. Every time they moved their jaws they experienced terrible pain.

Then I kick in with the character who was blind all his life, he was living the world reading books for blind, books with happy endings, fairy tales, romance novels and so.
Then a chance arrives with the doctor who barely said the sentence that changed their lives forever: I can make you see.
After the operation which was successful, the main character is told that he must be careful with his head even a small hit would make him blind again. Only killing a fly on his forehead would bring him back to the blindness.
One day while he was living the world with eyes, his friend called and said he has a job for him. They met in the park watching the policeman he was suppose to kill for pressing charges against the `new world skinheads`. He shoots him, dosen`t even knowing what he`s doing, the police is after him, he escapes, shoots his way through the apartment buildings and learns the truth about the people`s evil nature. (for which he didn`t knew while he was reading those ``happy books``) And at the end after seeing all abominations of life, true nature of people. After seeing where people live, how they live, how they destroyed earth. (after tons of bullets fired in-game) he smashes his head against the wall and gets back to his world of darkness, which was always the safest.

The end.

Cheers to all good people out there

My paragon is not on the poster, its in the mirror.

Hahaha, no, this NVA stands for "Nationale Volksarmee" and was the army of Eastern Germany. I grew up there so you can trust me on this. If you are interested you can read about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_People%27s_Army
And thanks for asking. Maybe other people were confused as well.

Kind regards, Caveman

I recommend firma, but many people will tell you to use Doomster's model maker. It is down to personal preference really. You can also use the segment maker developed by TGC.
