- A game like this would be a very worthwhile attempt.
- I understand that the current game is on the way though. GOOD! Who needs
- to stop at just one! :) OK, I think a strategy/action (eg C&C) game
- should be considered for the NEXT project (Lets get some practice
- in first!). REASONS - (prepare yourself ;))
- Because it isn't to reliant on flashy graphics. Most of the suggested
- games obviously wouldnt compete with a pc graphically, but with these
- types of games (ie Command&Conquer/worms/lemmings etc) cool ideas are
- THE ONLY thing which makes them good! You dont see a single damn
- shaded/textured polygon in C&C! but it`s a huge seller! and a brilliant
- game (MULTIPLAYER!!!). So unless you can make something with 'UNREAL' ;)
- graphics, the best option is a realtime strategy/action game. (that is
- if you want to annoy PC owners and who doesnt!)
- Graphically it`ll be possible to make it detailed WITHOUT heavy processor
- strain. No need for scrolling either! I suggest a game with base building
- (but something different from C&C) because you get that feeling of
- ownership, and terror when its being destroyed!
- But the most important thing is MULTIPLAYER! Thats what the Amiga
- really lacks and thats why I also own SATAN'S computer. There needs
- to be atleast a 2 player/serial link, or 4 player split screen team thing.
- Hell if you were real ambitious what about a network/internet game!
- PEOPLE NEED TO THRASH OTHER PEOPLE! It's the human way :)
-
- ALSO with a game like this, people who aren`t very good programmers/artists
- /musicians can also contribute with map design for one player and
- multiplayer missions. Not to mention loads of ideas which could be
- implemented with alot less trouble. The rendering crazed people could
- do the multiple angle sprites while others can do terrain/buildings.
-
- WHEEEW!!! Big message! Anyway while the other game is being written,
- have a think about how serial/network/internet routines could work.
- Because even if the next project isnt like this, I really think
- multiplayer is the only option left to make those PCing smug gits
- want to play and appreciate WHY the Amiga was/is/WILL BE! a great
- machine! :)
- THANK YOU AND GOOD NIGHT!
