Dudes, I'm planning to write a game in C++/OpenGL but I can't decide what type of game it should be. I need your help here guys! Please place a post with your suggestion! I will then choose the most frequent suggestion. If things goes as planned, you will hear more from me about the game on this board. This will help me loads! Thanks all! /Sandman Edited by - Saandman on March 1, 2001 2:44:53 PM Edited by - Saandman on March 1, 2001 4:34:46 PM

This question would probably be better placed in the "game design" forum, but hey...

I always liked sidescrolling - flying - shooters (like Einhander, if you''v ever heard of it...)? perhaps a 3d one of those? a stationary (well, kind of) camera thats placed looking at the side of the ship, and you just fly around shooting bad guys!

or you could try to make a first person game... i dont like shooters much, they''re all the same, but maybe something different... tomb raider with a first person view! that would be almost cool... well, you couldn''t do the jump-and-grab-a-ledge thing very well...

or an RPG like everybody and his dog is making!
How about a racing game? how about a very strange racing game, where you race things like vegetables, or spoons...

I dunno... watch alot of movies, thats where i get my ideas from... but dont rip them off, just use them for inspiration...

hmm, motivation... um, good luck with game!
