I have a few game ideas that i think are good, but i would like a second opinion: A: An updated version of SimAnt, in 3D with more fighting, less dying. B: A board game where you have to be the first to climb the mountain. C: A 3D shooter where your brother has become a traitor to the U.S and revealed information to Afghanistan. You have to undo the damage and shoot your brother and his army.

You don''t get along with your brother, do you?

ROFL!
I said brother because it will cause more emotion in the player than friend.

You may want to complicate the story a little more than that, though, it might teach a bad moral

That''s more for the kids-do-as-the-games-they-play activists.

Ok. I''ll think of some sort of plot twist.

anyone know if their has been a version of scorched earth in 3d?

i''ve thought about scorched earth in 3d before. i think it''d focus too much on camera control for the player. they wouldn''t enjoy as much the buying of weapons and mass destruction. i think that is a perfect case where 2d is better for the game. really, throwing a 3rd axis in there does nothing for gameplay. the weapons destroy everything already... you''d only be making it a little harder with a few other weapons... and besides, with a movable camera, it''d be really easy to line up shots on one axis... making it a 2d game again.

A: like it, but include some sort of large group strategy - controlling hundreds of ants to carry out a coordinated attack is much more interesting than crawling around alone.

B: board game? elaborate please.

C: definitely not, it might gain you a lot of publicity, but imo riding the patriotism train is never a good thing. besides, such things are already out (the scores of "shoot the taliban" FPS minimods), so you´d be in exceedingly bad company. If you make a shooter, make it fictional, if it´s good it will survive without cheap publicity. Also, a lot of people might be put off by the black/white image (yes, storytwist, very important) you´re presenting, plus the whole afghanistan thing will be old by the time the game is finished.

How dare u hase!

The Fantasy Action/Adventure is the Best Genre

I dig the simAnt idea.

Please elaborate on the board game idea.
