Strangest game ever

by Patrick Jeeves · in Game Design and Creative Issues · 04/26/2006 (10:39 am) · 32 replies

I want to make a game thats stranger than any other before it, an RPG, the main character is a cyborg bannana, (which still needs a right arm and a better texture) but i can't think of anything for any of the other characters to be. does anyone have any ideas?

I would theme the whole game to fruit if your main is a fruit :)
err..
is Banana a Vegetable?
I seem to remember that it is.
I've been wrong once before... I was mistaken.

I don't know. Personally, I think the strangest game would be one where all of the NPCs have the PC's face, and he has to kill indiscriminately to appease his psychosis. But that would be tough if the PC was a banana.

I think a cool character would be a giant fish that thinks it is a war hero.

thats the latest one, i'm having trouble doing the poses and gaits, this is the first time i actually tryed a walk gait, i usually do simpler stuff, the plan was that only the hero would be a fruit, but i'm not sure how i could get that to make sense, so i asked you random people. also i need a decent texture, as you can see.

You could easily make it fruit versus vegetables.

have special attacks based on each fruit type: banana peels - make you slip, apples spit seeds as weapons, this should be a wide open toic as far as ideas go.

I don't like that idea, its a fighter as opposed to an RPG. it would be possible, but my orriginal idea was that it came to be giant via radioactivity, then a mad frankenstine kind of guy would bring it to life, and put a squid brain in it's head. but that would make even less sense, as only a frequency above gamma make it grow... that might work... if the wave's frequency was higher than gamma it could cause seperation of the quarks so theres more space between them, enlarging the atoms. but that makes no sense. if that worked then gamma rays would make the nuclei of atoms larger.

There was a game before done in an overhead diablo style where the main charachter was traveling throuh his own mind which had become fractured and instable, now that was weird. Mabey making a game like that where the lines between reality and imagination are removed so nightmares may roam as freely as mall shoppers. Then the whole ordeal is to try and survive both the people trying to lock you up for the rest og your life in an asylum and your own mind which relentlessly haunts you with dark visions.

So not only would you be traversing a possibly far fetched world, but your own mindscape as it collides and spirals your charachter towards an inexcapably demented fate, whatever it may be.

That has to be one of the coolest ideas i've ever heard in my life

I think Rojalees idea was good if its going to be a RPG then there needs to be combat of some kind. to be a good RPG you'll need a story even if it's a weird story.

i think a war between fruit and vegetables would make a good problem for the story and your cyborg banana could have been created by the fruits to help win the war. the war could be over a garden or something.

Or it could be like terminator2 and the banana could of be captured by the vegetables to win the war for them.

How about if all the NPC's are Monkeys, and the cyborg banana is trying to take vengeance for the king monkey having eaten his whole family. You only have a certain amount of time to finish the game, too, because as the game wears on the hero gets progressively more ripe, and eventually just turns into a brownish mushy goo.

How about a French resistance fighter-style group of fish, trying to get even with fishermen. They can attach weights to pull them in, electric shocks up the line, group attacks, 1/6 gill of gin for every fish that gets back alive. At the end you drink it all and your liver is the gauge on how well you've done.

What the hell am I talking about .....

You could make it a health conscious program where junk food competes against fruits and vegetables.

Or wait... better yet, have some silly looking little round fat kids that are the main characters trying to get to the fruit and vegetables that are running away, while avoiding the junk food characters that are trying to jump at him. They make the kid grow when they collide and get swallowed. When you catch and eat the fruits and veggies you get thinner, the more junk food the fatter you get until you're this giant ball of fat rolling around the screen.... um.... or somethin. It could be called Fat Farm where the goal is to get all the kids to graduate from Fat Camp as thin healthy children. The various courses could be activites they need to accomplish, but they need to get thinner to do progressively harder activies. I think it would be alot of fun to see chubby little kids rolling around and stuffing themselves with junk food. Maybe the goal should be to get as huge as possible and roll over and destroy everything.... um... or somethin.
