I just got the best idea!

It just came to me yesterday and the basics are coming to me steadily. I don’t want my ideas stolen but all I can say it is either a fps or 3rd person shooter (have yet to decide which) and very very different. It’ll probably be a mixture of both elements.

The multiplayer will be stellar and packed with so much stuff the disc and even the consoles will burst.

I am very very serious about this game. I have come up with the best weapons and vehicles as well as other gameplay elements not used in shooting games or possibly any genre of games for that matter. I have also come up with a strange and new multiplayer game design specifically for a certain map, which I got the idea from when I thought about adding the element into that level.

This game could possibly change video gaming or be put in its own category if done right.

Why am I posting all this since I’m not going to tell anyone about my new game? Because I need help.

1. I have no idea how to make a game and know very little about html. All I really need is the game to be made in its most basic form. I do NOT want to have someone steal my game and I want it copyrighted as soon as possible. Yes, I know this will more than likely take years but it has to be done.

2. I will most definitely need help and help would be most appreciated in any form. You can tell me what you want in a fps/tps game and I can find a way to incorporate it. ANYTHING no matter how small would be appreciated.

So please, any information or anything on creating video games helps.

I am as serious about this video game as I am about my writings. Thank you.

Well first of all to make a fps/tps very innovative out of all the others (halo2 Gears of War still dominates) is a great story, some sort of unique gameplay(say a soldier is about to fire at you and a friend comes in to take the shot. Your friend can get some sort of medal of sacrifice reward < — — idea for multiplay)And if your trying to make this into a game what console is it for?

It’s happened to me with my writings a couple times already and I’m very paranoid now about telling anyone anything etc.

But you know what? You leave it long enough and fate has a way of forcing the ideas out thru other people. As they say, ideas are in the air.

IE...you’ve got to do something about it asap or else someone else will get the same idea and do it.

Suggestions? Take a crash course in programming. Or hire a freelance programmer to create a demo for you. And/Or, take a synopsis of the game, artwork, weapons/map details, multiplayer ideas, demo, whatever you have, all put together and try to get a meeting with any games developers that might be in your area or email/phone them and try to get them interested without a) blurting out the details of the game, AND b) over-hyping your game as something amazing otherwise they’ll think you’re a nut-job.

If they ask you to just send the idea in, don’t do it. Try to get a meeting with a studio manager. If you find it hard to get anyone interested, they laugh you off etc, don’t panic, just keep trying. If the idea is good enough and you’re trying your best, someone will bite. You might even end up getting a job offer or something. You’d probably lose the rights to the game, if a big studio were interested.

If you had C++ programming expertize you’d probably be better off downloading the XNA thing and creating a demo. Then they’d have to buy the cow along with the milk.

I don’t know THE right answer, but there’s some suggestions.

Well, this project I am undertaking may take a long time as in years. I am just getting the ideas. I have yet to better refine them and make them fit together. If you really want to help with this then I would be glad to have you on my team. The only thing is I may not be of much help when it comes to actually creating the game on the C++ or java level. All I can do is lead and say how it is supposed to be and I will probably drive you insane with trying to perfect the game in every single tiny little aspect. My ideas, maybe all of them may make you think WTF?! but if you understand and see what it is supposed to be like you will know why I am serious about this game. You need to know what it is supposed to feel like, which may be hard to grasp since this coming from my within my mind and not outside. If we are to do this then we must dedicate ourselves to this.

The road may be long, rigorous, and insane but in the end it will be worth it not for the money but for the fact that you did something.
