I came up with this mech/giant robot game about a year ago. It will be kinda similar to Armored Core, only in that you can customize your robot, in fact even further in my game, but I'll get to that in a little bit.
This game will be more of an online game than anything, but it will have an extensive off line play as well. You select your robot, either bi-pedal, tank style, spider, or other design, and you participate in various missions, either protect this, save this, or blow up this, and rendousuz with that. What makes it unique is that it doesn't take place in one setting, and the missions can go from one setting to a totally different one. The areas range from planet (desert, ocean, jungle, mountain, city), space (worm holes, astreoids, space ships), and other locales, I haven't thought of any yet, or if I have im not metioning them.
Ok, now its time for the customization. You can select the body type of a mech, oh btw, you win money for successful missions, and gaining certain materials (to make armor, weapons, ammo, etc.), and destroying rival mechs. The body types range from bi-pedal, tank, spider, hovering, etc. It best suits the area you want. And yes each robot can particpate in all locales, the robots come equipped with rockets (you determine how powerful and how many you want). You also choose weapons from gatling guns, pulse rifles, long range missiles, nuclear weapons, etc. You also choose misc. items such as cooling systems, heating systems, guidance control, speed, armor, and other various capabilites. You also determine the paint, ranging from cammo, to artistic design.
The multi-player will be extensive as well. Hopefully, it will support over 100 users. That way an on going war will happen, and you can join any side you want, just don't make too many enemies. To help balance things out, heavily armored mechs will be matched up against similar types and speed mech will be matched up against their counter parts, and so on and so forth. Of course there will be a huge battle royale to determine who is better.
That is my game for now, feel free to add on and ask questions if this is confusing or would like to know more.
