Project Conqueror: A TPS Concept

Conqueror is a third-person shooter concept; the gameplay itself is loosely based on the game "Star Wars Battlefront". Essentially, the game takes place in the early 24th century, and the mid-25th, spanning two wars: Humanity's first interstellar Civil War, and its battle with the all-powerful Mithridian/Kraloss Alliance. (The Kraloss are used as infantry grunts by the Mithridians; the Mithridians are tall and human-like, with bluish skin.) You must create a character, choosing gender, name, and other attributes, and finally, you must choose between five warrior types: Trooper (basic soldier), Shock Trooper (for close-range combat), Demolition (Demo) Trooper (for explosives work), Pilot (for the use and repair of vehicles), and Scout (sniper and medical soldier). In the Single-Player Campaign, players would be able to rise through the ranks, upgrade their characters, and eventually lead a squadron of their own, consisting of the other warrior types. Each class may choose between several weapons sets (unlike Battlefront). Each character may hold two weapons and up to eight grenades. These are the classes' standard weapon sets: Trooper: Assault Rifle (AR)/Pistol; AR/Machine Pistol (MP); Carbine/MP; Pistol x2; MP x2; Carbine/SMG; Carbine/Pistol. Shock Trooper: Shotgun/MP; Shotgun/SMG; Shotgun/Pistol. Demo Trooper: Rocket Launcher (RL)/Carbine; RL/AR; Gauss Cannon (GC)/Carbine; GC/AR. Pilot: SMG/MP; SMG/Pistol; Carbine/Pistol. Scout: Sniper/SMG; Sniper/MP; Sniper/Pistol. --- Characters may pick up any weapon, or use any vehicle, they encounter, but they will use them with varying degrees of skill, based on their experience using that type of weapon. These are the Experience categories: Stamina Weapons Proficiency (Rifles, Small Arms, and Explosives) Reloading Speed Leadership (without it, computer-controlled troops may hesitate or refuse to follow your orders) --- These attributes are gained by doing each action you wish to improve several times. (For example, if you are within a millimeter of your life and heal, you will gain a lot of Stamina experience at the end of the battle.) [Edited by - spectre1890 on August 13, 2005 11:34:15 AM]

Battlefront is a FPS isn't it? Even though you can pull the camera out so you can see your character I think it was designed to be FPS.

I like your idea though, I'd love to see what it develops into.

My dev blog, I guess...
