    Contest Logs

    Well, my last project seems to have died a slow and painful death (at the hand of me) so I was pretty excited when I heard there was going to be a 4 Elements 5 contest. The last one had an awesome theme (Ninjas, pirates, zombies and robots), anyone you talked to had a million ideas. This time... This time GameDevs messed up. Emotion, Economics, Emblem, Europe. What the hell where they thinking?!

    Calling all would-be game designers! I know there's plenty of people 'round who'd love to try their hand at game design. Well, lets see if you've got what it takes. My challenge to you is this:
    Come up with a clever, fun, but above all simple game that includes all of the above elements. Why simple? Because everyone else will be making complex rpgs and will never finish. I want something I can prototype in a couple of days.

    If your idea wins, your prize is that I make it over the next 6 months. Worth thousands of dollars, I assure you. Or not. But anyway, please post your ideas in the comments. I reserve the right to not choose any idea at all, but feel free to post anything you think of, good bad or ugly. Anything's worth a shot, right? You have till the end of Friday the 9th of June. GO!

    Maybe something that is a cross between Drug Wars and Gold Rush.

    you're a magpie or something
    you steal stuff from other people
    (makes you richer - economics)
    it's set in france so it's europe
    emotions, you have to steal stuff which people are attached to
    like their family heirlooms and stuff
    so it's emotional
    you leave your emblem behind each time
    so it's like a calling card

    how bout a simple 'arcade style FPS' - like, u wander through some spooky maze with things popping out that u kill. u get weapons between levels and u only use ur mouse to play...pretty much...and it's set in europe - like, a chalet or something alps-y

    Manic Sliffinhoffen says:

    Razor says:

    Refining my idea: a magpie flying thorugh an obstacle course, collecting gems and other goodies. The obstacles can be famous european monuments. You win by reaching an emblem that you can make yourself. haha, how's that for a game?

    u totaly hafta make a racing car game! where you start off with a bit of cash, then go to the scrap dealers, pick up a chasis, body and engine, and hire some panelbeaters and work ppl and then do underground racing then work your way to the top! super duper! and u can go back to the yard and pick up different bits, like maybe go and find an old hotrod body and rebuild the bugger!

    I forgot to mention that the Magpie is doing all this to escape gambling debts. The mob has it in for him.
