Game Design > Glider + FPS?? :D please vote! ^^

#101379 - HtheB - Mon Sep 04, 2006 8:57 pm

As maybe many of you guys knows the homebrew game Glider, we changed our minds (Tassu, DarkGilson and me) to make a Flight Simulation Shooter as mentioned before on the NeoFlash compo..

but.. what do you think guys if we add a First person shooter TOO???
so like you have to fly a chapter, and the other chapter walk and shoot.. (shoot 'em up)


well.. please vote guys :)

Also thoughts about why it would be a good/bad idea would be appreciated.

I voted no.
I'd better have a very good flying games with many challenges/possibilities (landing, fighting, ...) than a mix of fps and glider. (and I don't like fps)

Cool by me. Just remember that the bigger you make the project, the more likely you'll get frustrated / bored and not finish any part.

I think its a great idea, olny you should make shure to make both parts of the game feel equally good, so it doesent seem like a flying game, with a shooting minigame. Mebe you could get out and use AA guns on aircraft?

I voted no. I would rather it just be a flying game. (like a dogfighting game or something.)

you mean like in Halo.. right?
That would be too hard to code :)

#101562 - Sausage Boy - Wed Sep 06, 2006 2:49 pm

Halo, UT2004, you name it. I want an awesome multiplayer fps for my DS!

Seriously though, I think you should go for the included fps parts. It would be kinda awesome to fly to a place and fight through it, only to find that your plane has been shot to pieces, forcing you to hijack a small WW1 plane from a museum or something. If you really want to make it awesome, you need lots of cool cinematics and a good story.

so as the planes too ;)

so.. if we will add a FPS.. we will add guns etc. too :)

#104881 - pas - Tue Oct 03, 2006 8:21 pm

I would like it if it would have a Gta Style ;)

With Flight and Walk Missions. And Rampage or maybe Freeplay too :)

I votet for: Yes.
