So after completing my first game in 6weeks for uni (to an extent, still lots of bugs)

(Shameless plug, http://www.killer-byte.net )

I plan to make another one, but with some fresh ideas, id prefer to make a shooting game but im also looking into the iphone/android side of things..

What are some of you guys favorite games and why?

What makes it appeal most to you?

what do you think makes a game "fun"?

Immersive, player driven story.

Multiplayer / Co-op

Graphics and audio that isn't necessarily top of the line but well tested.

For mobile games it's pretty much shiny things + addictiveness that gets sales or remakes of classics that can run on slower hardware. I don't play mobile games.

agreed with the mobile games, smooth animation helps a lot with aesthetics, as long as it has an addictive concept, you pile on 200 levels and have a killer game (no pun intended)

take angry birds on the iphone, huge seller and very addictive, yet a hugely simple game as well as having nice smooth gameplay.

i tell you what.

i give you an idea that will make you crap yourself.

art thou ready?

okay.

sidescrolling fighter. so simplistic. so hard to beat. so much fun

think double dragon meets street fighter. in a cartoon 2d environment. think 8bit music. think cutesy cartoon graphics. but think voilence. think easy. yet think nearly IMPOSSIBLE to beat. think no plot at all. if there is to be plot. think an easy yet random one. like some mobster guido stole his 240Z. and he has to fight 10,000 other guidos to get it back.

think three lives.

think wooden crates. baseball bats with nails hammered through them. think broken legs. think knives. think denim jackets with sleeves cut off. think a boss level with a fat black dude wearing a wife beater. think henchmen dieing with four punches.

...but make sure you keep those 16bit cartoon style graphics. but make HEAPS of colours. and shading. so that it still has a hidef modern sheen to it.

uniquety in imitiation. that's what the f*ck i want to see in a game. a game that's SO HARD TO PLAY it makes your hair turn grey.

yet it's so easy to get so friggin far in it. that it's enough to keep you hanging on and loving it.

it needs to be a character that's charming as all hell. someone so quintessential of their own stereotype that you just want to BE him.

Chips challenge ticks alot of those boxes :P

FPS.

Current day weapons, no WWII crap and no futuristic laser weapons.

Multiplayer.

I prefer to shoot real people that have the potential to rage, as opposed to battling bots.

Think COD4+BC2.

    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
