TNBT Contest

[Deadbeat_Spinn]

I think the only thing developing is a severe case of heart burn.

[Carlo the Curious]

That's just the prototyping. The final product needs a full-size one of these.

[brucewarren]

I have to ask.

When it's time to slice it up do you the phasers or the photon torpedoes?

[Apoch]

Wow, you guys sure can read into stuff way too deeply.


I wonder what other random gibberish I can spout and get you to speculate on what we're doing




How about this: TNBT will involve gerbils.

[Graphil]

Pets win prizes!

This resembles very closely what pjknibbs suggested about an animal based space game.

As for TNBT, it will involve a mongoose player character having to fight off an invasion of green-spotted purple killer marmosets while keeping the friendly animals on his side.

[Moonrat]

How about this: TNBT will involve germans.

Thanks Apoch, I'd kinda' assumed that already, altho' I did think that there was at least one Brit on the team.
I'll not be playing X much today as I've got an overdue appointment with the Optician.

We've got some chicken bones from last night we were going to throw into the air after some incantations. Assuming the dog is not quicker reading them than us I'll let you all know the results...

[EmperorJon]

I may write a letter to Bernd telling him what another game needs even if it's not at all the same genre.

At the top will be better voice acting.



And possibly a bit more sense. I mean, that dude at the beginning of the Terran plot must have failed primary school.

"They're all over me, too many to count!"

If they made "Barbie dress up RPG" which revolves of dressing up and going to Justin Bieber concert - which then results with this forum being invaded by horde of Justin Bieber fans and their ilk - I wonder how the existing community would react....
Imagine all the hate...

Imagine the MODS for that!
Two-headed zombie Barbie goes to concert where they serve sulphuric acid punch.

Let's just say that the Guitar Hero franchise isn't really dead.

Given the license issue a Spaceship Hero game is more likely - where you get to fly your ship over a band of coloured spots flying at you.

I can imagine that with a WII Fit controller which lets you do exciting actions like leaning left, leaning right, raising the left leg, and last but not least, raising the right leg!

[brucewarren]

That reminds me of the flying technique in "Gravity Dreams" where
the needle jockey becomes the ship in overspace. So leaning left
would turn the ship etc.

[X2-Illuminatus]

Okay, my suggestions:

• space game with the parts 'think', 'think more' and 'think differently
• gameplay is more important than graphics
• totally bug free, no patches are necessary
• no single, but limited multiplayer (2 to 8 players)
• suitable for players of each age
• no DRM
• mainly 2D but also parts of 3D technology.
• very low system requirements. You can play it with or without any PC, console etc. - it doesn't really matter.
• creating mods will be possible without any programming skills and with low knowledge in modeling

Yep, correct: a board game.

Why not a zombie Barbie game?

Barbie has to shamble up to people, gnaw out their carotid, then dress up in their clothes.
The better you did, the less blood-spattered you end up and you can use this "cover" to sneak up to their friends, family, and pets to repeat the process.
Eventually you can't avoid getting really messed up so there is really no way around the dressing bit.
Dressing is apparently a major part of any Barbie game.
And don't worry parents! It's completely child-safe! There won't be any cleavage visible during the dressing process!

[thetack]

i still want to play the mongoose game

That sounds like "Buffy the Vampire"

The Barbie licence probably costs too much.

I need more time. Apoch's gerbil idea shows promise.

[EmperorJon]

So this is just Egosoft's "Panic and steal from the community" thread eh?


Ok then. We want what's basically TC but with no bugs. And more stuff. And better. And maybe even better and even more stuff. And er... er... more stuff.

And...

Don't listen to all the MMO/Planet landing/Empire building/Spaceship Hero people!

[G Morgan]

My belief is that Egosoft will resurrect standard uniforms .

[mrbadger]

Being realistic, I want a space trade game to play that has me trying to figure out everything from scratch again, and a universe that I have zero clue about to explore.
