Game Idea I Have Had For Years
by Colton Colcleasure · in Game Design and Creative Issues · 03/22/2005 (8:32 am) · 6 replies
I always wanted to make this one, but it will be a long time after college and everything.
But anyways, can you make a full game that is lke for PC or a console that goes online and is playable online?
Like my idea is to make an online DRIVING/RACING/EVERYDAY LIFE simulation online.
You get some money to start with and you get some kind of paying job and you can soup up your car with your money and on your server there are other players that are doing the same thing and you can rugn from cops. etc.
Would anyone here be able to make a game like that?
If so, i think it would sell to the younger audiance of kids (15 and younger) really good cause they dont have cars, and maby a little bit to the older, (16 and up).....

I wish someone would make a cheeses of the world MMORPG. I think it would sell because a lot of people like cheese in the world.

And games where you have to get jobs sound rather dull to me. Having a job in the real world is enough, without having to get home, log on, and start a virtual job (that I have to pay a monthly sub for as well!).

Though neither of these titles will give you everything your looking for Colton, I would recommend AA over MCO, as MCO is just a garage sim that lets you race your souped up car against others online, no driving around at random or running from cops a la Midtown Madness.
I would also have to agree with Philip a bit here, I've had game ideas before that invovled having a job while playing, but then I thought about it and asked around...most people play games to escape things in the real world, like jobs. So asking them to find one in an MMO and then having to show up for "work" not play is going to be a tough sell. That is unless you can some how make having that job all part of the gaming experience...of course if you just had it setup that you got this job and now every week or so you make some cash, then I'm sure people wouldn't mind, but then what would be the point of having the job, I mean, you could just give every player a weekly allowance and it would be the same thing.
Anyway, just spitting out off the top of my head, sorry.
Take care,

Yes there is Auto Assault, which is still being developed...but there is also Motor City Online, which I was a member of the test team for.Though neither of these titles will give you everything your looking for Colton, I would recommend AA over MCO, as MCO is just a garage sim that lets you race your souped up car against others online, no driving around at random or running from cops a la Midtown Madness.

Don't remember the name, but it's a MMOracing game with RPG and stuff.
Search on some game website, perhaps you can find something about it.
