Game Idea
Posted: Fri Jul 22, 2011 8:26 pm
So I've been brainstorming an Idea for a while now and I can't decide whether to put more effort into it or not.
It would be heavily influenced by terraria, but with much more magic, and the ability to create your own weapons by drawing them out. I figured since people are always drawing things in terraria/minecraft, they might be interested in designing their own weapons, and then sharing them.
The idea is that the more you progress, the larger your canvas is in which you can design weapons. If you fill the canvas with a huge weapon and aren't yet strong enough to wield it, it would be very slow and not do much damage. The options for wielding could progress from swinging/stabbing through to being able to make weapons that fire projectiles and then designing the projectile.
I'm aware that it would be a pretty big project, but it's more about the learning process that it would involve. However I work much better when I'm motivated, so if i knew its something people would be interested in playing then I'll be more interested in learning to make it.
Sorry for the braindump, let me know your thoughts or if something exactly the same already exists.
