Battlefront: Earth. A game idea, probably won't go anywhere.

[GroxGlitch]

I have a pretty good idea of what I want to make as far as a game goes. Something with mechs . Anyway, I have storyline and unit details put together in my head already, I suppose it would just be a matter of translating that. I could always make it a total conversion of an already existing game...
Anywho... onto some information.

FACTIONS:
THE COLLECTIVE: A swarm-style army, use lots of cheap, weak mechs, weak tanks, and moderate-strength infantry. Still weaker than mechs, but in comparison to the other two, not quite weak as far as infantry goes.

THE FREE WORLDS: The "good guys", The Free Worlds use powerful mechs, moderate tanks, and weak infantry.

KAL'MNORI: An alien race, they don't use mechs or tanks, rather they use infantry in suits of battle armour (think a Tau Crisis Suit from Warhammer 40k, and you're getting the idea).

Well, there are at least the factions. If anyone has any questions, just throw em out, I'll be glad to answer them until I get another post up with more information.

a band of futuristic apes, clad in loincloths and the skins of their enemies; their tough hides and sharp claws make them fierce close combat fighters although they prefer to attack using hide slings and sharpened sticks poisoned with their own stool?

His idea.. it must be mine.

Srsly, its one thing to utter ideas, but atleast acompany them with drawn pictures, makes it easier to imagine them. Feel free to fabulate on, if your ideas are good, people will steal them otherwise, this will be, one of thousands, wouldnt it be cool if - threads.

We even had someone who archived and catalogized those threads, he would sort your ideas and post links to earlier threads already suggesting this and that. Unfortunatly he went away, or went insane, or both things, at the same time, some say he returned, and scares people, but i think he is nice, as long as you bring something to eat with you, a picture, just a little jpeg, a modell, a texture, anything, just dont get into the spring board empty handed. It wont do you any good-

The ideas you've got are good, but what you need to do is expand on how it differs from current titles, commercial and free, in terms of gameplay.
Do you have any ideas on that?

kudos for the objective thread title!

[GroxGlitch]

Ok. Thank you all for the constructive criticism, I'll attempt to get more info up, but for now, I'll just work on getting some pictures or models up.

[PicassoCT]

Good boy, good boy. Earned respect will suit you. Already start to like you now.

at least its better than PA (Power Annihilation) is a reworked BA with focus on teamplay and more tactics! Flash is 1% more epensive

GroxGlitch:
good luck but without any images or whatever nobody can really comment anything...

[MidKnight]

Your attitude toward this is good. That's very important. Nice work. I wish you the best of luck!

With a multiplayer RTS game the story is really the least of your concerns. Ideally a design would start from "what do I want the player to think and do while playing the game".
