I have two ideas for this game:
The first one:
Indie game funding
This idea would be only available when in the garage, or in the 2nd office. This would be when you click on the screen, an option would appear: Indie funding. There is a chance that you’ll get your goal, a small amount of your goal, a large amount of your goal, or no funds at all. The max goal would be something around 1 million dollars. The more fans you have, the bigger chance you’ll get either a large amount of your goal, or all of your goal. The less fans you have, the more scattered your chances are at getting what you want. The chances are, you’ll get about 64% of your funds, or some other random number. If you do it in the garage, you will gain fans, because everyone likes an indie company, am I right? However, if you make it in the 2nd office, there’ll be a chance to lose fans because some people might think you won’t need the money because you’re in such a big office, already. If you’re in the 3rd office, there is a 100% chance that you’ll lose fans, and possibly money unless you’re in the red for money.
Indie funding would allow people to get more money for researching topics, affording bigger booths at “G3”, and paying for more staff, also for making larger games.
Multiplayer Games
I’m not going to be like your average person that just says “add multiplayer 2 the game cuz i want 2 play with my friends”
My multiplayer idea would be much more advanced.
Game modes:
Race
This is a game mode where two players must make a company, starting in the 2nd office with a total sum of 500k and everything researched, however you will not have any custom engines All of the consoles are unlocked, but the licenses aren’t purchased for them. Consoles will never go off the market, (What I mean by that is you could always keep developing for the G64 if you wanted to, it’d never make it so you can’t dev for it.) The players would keep on playing until 1 of two events happen: One player files for bankruptcy, causing the other player to win. The other outcome would be that one player would get a goal of 50 million dollars, causing the other one to lose the game.
One Game, Who will win?
The title says it all. Players will have everything unlocked, 100m starting money, and can do anything to make a single game. The player that makes the most money in the end will be the winning player. This is intended for faster games for people who can’t play for too long.
Indie Game Dev
This is a game mode where players get to make five games. There will be 3 pre-made custom engines, and players cannot make their own custom engines, consoles, or anything else. Players will begin in the garage, and will play the game until one player makes 5 games, or the other player becomes bankrupt. Players will have all of the topics and genres unlocked, but will only be able to develop for the G64
Those are my only ideas for the game, I hope you guys enjoyed.
