I think it has before, hasn't it? sounds like something that should of been at least. Its getting hard now to think up original games now and a days :P, seems like everything has been taken..

Yeah thats one of the things that irk me about dA. Everyone's so nice and proper AND they police your art waaay to much.

I agree, the only real thing I dislike about deviantart is the audience at times. I think people choose to not respond if they have something negative to say instead of just saying it because they worry about hurting feelings.

I'd say that they are more worried about getting banned. you get banned for EVERYTHING on there.

Been done at least three times : [
New ideas are tough. But sometimes you don't even really need an idea. Just take an existing construct and do it exceedingly well. Hell, NG doesn't even really have a tight racing game yet.

I was just thinking that a third-person racer with a flat, 3D bitmap ground would be pretty good if done right. What do other people think?

Yea as far as redoing concepts, take for example almost every game on the front page.

Done right, it could be great. I wanna make a racer eventually, just too much on my plate at the moment. Maybe the finished product of yours will be an inspiration to get mine rolling, heheh.

Ah feck, that's a pun, isn't it?

I only wanna make origanal games. Button Finder was an origianal concept so I've ended up making three versions 'cos I can't think of other ideas.

Nah, I'm too busy too right now too. I'd like to give it a go eventually, though. Hopefully once I've got all my other projects done.

yea, if I were to make a racing game, id end up being like glaiel-gamer's Krazy kar

Ahh, I remember the good ol' days when drag racer v.3 was the coolest thing I'd ever played.

Ah yes, and it graced the front page for a solid 2.3 years I believe. Give or take a couple months...

Jiggmin's platform racing was really popular recently, yes?

Penis: tought you'd be interested

Game Ideas

It felt like that had been done before... But as many of you have said, a lot of concepts have been used and many games are just reconstructions of others. I may try to draw up some sprites and see if it looks good enough where I want to find a programmer and continue it.

The way I actually wanted to build the game is as you start out as a sperm in the urethra, where you have to make your way around small blocks and such. Then as you get to each stage in the game, (vagina, cervix, uterus, fallopian tube, and to the egg) each one becomes like a mini-game in itself. Similar to the style of Glaiel and BoM's Nuctracker game.

I don't know, I just think it'd be cool.

It was catchy due to its online play, but if you took it offline, you wouldn't really have NG's definitive racing game in your hands. I enjoyed it, but not for the reasons I mean when I say that NG doesn't really have a great racer yet.

Ideas

There are original ideas still. It just might be more eccentric than is normal, but whatever if it's a new idea and it's fun. I was glad to see a game I worked on being called original by lots of people. Like others have mentioned about themselves, that's what I want to strive for. There's too much of the same shit.

Luis, that looks fucked up.

NG Spills in to Spore

Check out some of that persons creations. Angry Faic, Strawberry Clock. I thought it was humourous.

And if you haven't, download the Spore Creature Creator demo. Amazing.

FYI Luis has launched the Sketchbook Collab and decidedly made it so that the first 100 askers get to participate meaning if you decided to spend time with your dying grandmother tonight you'll totally get your spot taken up by SonicMario2344. Better sign up quick.

Thanks for that, I MAY have missed out had I not read that post. I've always enjoyed the projects so it will be awesome to be a part of it.

Doesn't anyone think a game like this could just have a windscreen and a steering wheel attached to become a racer?

I think it would take more than that to really be exciting. Right now it's just kinda dodge-left-right gameplay. Neat use of pseudo-3D, but a ways to go before it's more than a temporary distraction.

I've been burning in the desert of despair,
Hoping that one day life will be fair.
Theirs a thousands sites a man can see.
The one with you is where I wanna be.

A, B, C, easy as 1, 2, ...8?

I had a nice quater pounder with cheese. :3

I found the song "Learn to fly" by the foo fighters, and it reminded me of my first animation days because i think i tried to make a collab part to it. Good memories. It actually made my day, anyone else have songs that reminded them of how they started out?

No but Dave Grohl's mom was my english teacher :P

Blah.

Anyone want to spend their front page posts to spell out something awesome?

Why don't you just think of it from another perspective? Say for example instead of narrowing the perspective of the game to the adventures of 1 sperm, why don't you broaden it to a whole load. Or even better, loads. Two ideas aside from the traditional side-scroller, is a game where instead of leading 1 spearm, you lead a whole fleet. At the end of each level you have to maintain a certain sperm count and then you could have some sort of button sequence, mini-game type thing to get the sperm into the egg.

Another idea I had is similar, but imagine the pregnancy process as a war rather than a journey. And then you just take an RTS spin on it.
