Game Ideas

Initial Thoughts:


To start this project off, we sat down and discussed several ideas for an interesting MMO game. One of the first idea's being a Post-Apocalyptic environment where a city has been rebuilt, fortified by a massive surrounding wall keeping all the inhabitants out, this would play out to be a first/third person free roaming beat em up. The second idea is set around the B.C times, mixing Humans and Dinosaurs together for a unique experience. The dinosaurs would play a minor part in the game, the main aspects we plan to focus on is the tribal warfare, crafting/building, survival and player mechanics. We aim to mix a bit of Minecraft, Age of Empires, Turok and Monster Hunter together, creating an idea for a game that's never been made before.
