Wink Need a Good Game Idea

Hello all, I'm the creator of the 15 game that has been posted here.
1. Whoever did the graphics design to make it look like the calculator program, nice job. Very simple, very clean.

2. I'm tired of just working on little proofs, and I'm ready to make a real game. However I am a programmer and not a game designer (or much of an artist. LOL) I cant seem to come up with a really great game Idea. I started work on a bricks style game, but that didn't suit me well. Maybe something like a zelda style game or RPG, I just dont know. So send me your best origional Idea and maybe it could be the next game.


Thanks for all the great feedback on the 15 game. And yes sliding would be great, but the game was made from start to finish in about 6 hours. (including the graphics) And I was relearning some of the stuff along the way. I hadn't used XNA since version 1. So it was more of a quick experiment. But anyway glad yall enjoy it.


Thanks,
Tracy

Bloon Tower Defense 3. Anyway, when I try to deploy your 15 game, it says something about the font is not found. What can I do to fix this?

You should make a copy of the ipod touch game jelly cars. Or you could look on flash game websites for their most popular games and make your own versions of them.

Like masterjoel201 said, Bloons tower defense 3 would be something really fun to have on the zune HD. If you could make something similar to that game, it would be greatly appreciated.

You must not have the font installed on your machine. You can either download the font. Its called technical or you can change the font in the source code to something you do have.

I think a duck hunt rip off would be a simple yet fun game to make, really any retro style shooting game would be fun

for the RPG style game, DinoGames has the top spot in that category and we just need him to get a ZHD and code Valgard's Fate to work with ZHD

Cool

I would definitely like to see another RPG available, maybe Post Apocalyptic style, in the vein of the Fallout games.

An RPG that's a little less the typical norm fantasy base, in any case.

Other than that, more games like the 2 player Yahtzee. It was really cool to share that game with my girlfriend whenever we were on a bus or somewhere inbetween other things. It gave us something to do together.

Im not sure if DinoGames is still here, but we need a Valgard's Fate style game. The original was never finished, and I was REALLY looking forward to it. Only one thing: make it zHD style

Too bad we couldn't get the source code files for Vanguard's Fate. Any number of games could be derived using that as a basis, much like so many things being built on an established engine.

Not owning an HD and disliking touch screens, I hope that game design keeps progressing and does so for all zunes, not just the touch screens.

how bout a simple driving game all you do is drive.
acceleration is automatic and you tilt the zune to steer. maybe make the car explode if you crash too much.
oh and the view wouldn't be like the current racing game it would be the back of the car where the lights are at.

2d first person shooter based game. Similiar to Golden Eye. All levels consist of flat ground and weapons are chosen in menu. D pad to move pause/play to shoot. Campaign with mulitplayer. It's possible with or without the renderer. I know it is. You are all just to lazy.

What?! Why don't you try doing this and then call us lazy. That game you "know" is possible is extremely hard to make and would take time. Time that could be spent on making a more reasonable game.
