This is a poll, and I am not asking which one is FUN but which one is
more fun 
Okay the three ideas i have in various levels of completion are:
(these are all meant to be on a pocketPC platform)
(Game Idea 1)
Adept: You play as a mage of either different/schools or elements (not sure which) and you adventure through a tower (99 randomly generated levels, each level consisting of "rooms" that u explore finding either gold, items or monsters to fight)
Once in fighting mode (the fight view is reminiscant of Dragon Warrior games) you have the option to melee attack, or cast a spell. The casting of spells is a gesture system that you can build different spells with by attaching a element/school with an effect to create many new spell types. You gain experience for spells, increasing the effectivness of spells that use the particular abilities you increase...and also gaining more "time slots" in which to chain the spell gesture together to create even more elaborate powerful spells.
There are other hooks here like some levels have shops that let you buy and sell items, and get regents for use in spell casting. You can also find rooms that are like relestate in the game that you can purchase and turn into your own abode where you can research and practice spells.
Current Design State:
I have a good gesture class, and a good sprite engine to handle the game. There is only like 2-3 pagese of design work done on the game, and there has to be a lot more to hash ou the way the spell system works (some things that have helped so far was good replies to posts i made here earlier on the item).
No artist
no sound engineer
Game Idea 2
Sim Pimp
After reading some forums and linking off to never neverland finding some people in these forums commenting on sim games, sim pimp came up, some thought the idea was dumb, others thought it was great...I read it, and after some thinking came up with some ideas that I thought would actually be fun and work well in a sim parody setting. Since its pocketPC, the game just needs to be pretty fun, good bit of pick up and play value and never has to take itself too seriously.
General Game play synopsis:
You play as a pimp, where you must hire the right kind of girls for the right kind of clients, you gotta keep your girls inline, and also keep upgrading the "love shack" with bigger rooms, more animinities to increase client satisfaction and return client trips. There are several turf areas for you to end up control over, though picking the pimp at the start of a new game defines your starating territory. There are 5 pimps to choose and they have funny names, though i also included a clever scheme to let the player add their own name to the pimp.
The full version of the game will also use pocket outlook to access the contact folder on a users pocket pc and put the names into the game for the various clients and such... sorta like black and white did.
Current Design State:
The design doc first verison is done (10 pages long)
The sprite engine is done
The sound system is ready, though no sound engineer
Have an artist (if he sticks with it)
Game Idea 3
Ship of the Line:
A sim/arcade game that plays out in some historical fashion the thrill of the age of sail naval engagements. You control various groups of ships and manuever them into firing position on other groups of ships etc... this game design idea is the least fleshed out though I would like the base the game play somewhat on a game called (for you old schoolers out there):
"The ancient art of war at sea" by borderbund software I think.
No Design Doc
No Artist
Just an urge to make this type of game
So which ones would you the playing public find most fun based ont he info given? I need to finally sit down and start to focus on a game, though I am not 100% sure which one I want to do, since all the above ideas appeal to me.
And any comments/questions on the game ideas listed above? (such things help for motivation)
Thanks for your time,
Shane
