DanMarshall Posted May 11, 2006 This is the best idea I ever had. The possibilities are limitless. Shall I start an online petition to get it made?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marek Posted May 11, 2006 It's good (though you are not the first to have that idea). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DanMarshall Posted May 11, 2006 In my head, I was the first. So I've called "bagsy" on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miffy495 Posted May 11, 2006 Impressive. I'd play it. Though I still have to get around to trying The Movies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Posted May 11, 2006 Yeah, as Marek said, this has actually been done before in the form of SEGA Gaga for the Dreamcast. It was a sim in which you, the player, takes control of SEGA and must create successful games, as well as continue making old IP successful. Basically you act as the director of SEGA, responsible for bringing in the best talent, such as designers and artists, and making great games. Hehe. However, that's not to invalidate your idea Just pointing it out as it's a little known game (it was only released in Japan). Sure there is room for a game that focuses more on actual in-game mechanics and provides the ability to make basic, working prototypes to show of core gameplay.

Marek Posted May 11, 2006 This reminds me. Jake, Alex and I were once talking about an RPG we wanted to make based on the life on a game journalist. It had like, turn-based random interview encounters with game designers, each with unique rhetorical abilities. Jaffe would drop the f-bombs, Molyneux had the hype multiplier, etc. It's too bad we didn't even make a design doc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DanMarshall Posted May 11, 2006 I just realised I started this thread at 11:38. That's a personal triumph. Sorry, what was the topic?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brkl Posted May 11, 2006 Yes, it is terrible, this idea. Sorry, I like it, but had to get that quote in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
