Howdy! I have an idea..

Joe Paterno · 2012-09-17T18:57:25

Hey there, I had a mind-blowing idea for a video game I wanted to share with you all. My background as a football coach has let me see many, many amazing games, with impressive, strong athletes chasing the sweet, sweet taste of victory. And then I realized: There would probably be a juicy market for a line of video games that imitated football, but on the living room TV. Pretty genius, right? So I was wondering if some of you young men might give me some feedback and maybe we can work something out. Thanks, Joe (Bee tee dubs, I reserve all copyright claims for this idea, as well as all profits unless otherwise specified by a contract or a legal equity in my new company, Ball Games Inc.)

I think Football is on the way out. You should choose hockey instead. And to differentiate it from other hockey games, you should make it an MMO. I hear great things are being done these days with html and variables.

This.

If it's not a Hockey MMORPG, I don't want to hear about it.

And this.

I think that one just made fun of the original thread.

[size="1"]I don't suffer from insanity, I'm enjoying every minute of it.
The voices in my head may not be real, but they have some good ideas!

Must be this one then:

Is DarkBasic Pro the best current software to create a hockey video game?

I still prefer the single player campaign.

tstrimple, Thanks! I might check into that, but I think that football is very much alive and well. Besides, a game with a puck wouldn't make much sense for a company called Ball Games Inc., now would it silly

Don't let your company name get in the way of a massive idea like a hockey game. I mean you could always set up Puck Games.
