So I just got Flash...

**Squeek** · 12-31-2004, 12:08 AM

And now I need ideas for games to create.

Try not to make them too complex and please DO try to make them original. I'm not making "Squares 3" or another MOTAS type game.

Originality is so damn hard it's almost depressing.

Do a FFR Text-Based game.

Oh wait. That would be really boring. I mean, there's not much you can do with four arrows.

First thing you should do is try to recreate a classic game but then make it better. Like, make a Galaga-type game and then make upgrades for the ship. Baby steps, baby steps.

Omeganitros · 12-31-2004, 12:23 AM

Or Gunstar Heroes!
...Naw, those shooter games never work too well on Flash...

This is probably a thread soccr could touch on.

**Cenright** · 12-31-2004, 12:27 AM

You can do the basic obstacle racing game.

You have a road that is 4-6 lanes wide, and as you go along, you block a few roads with objects, and so the person has to always be on the open road.

Oh, I guess I should mention that I have been programming in Flash for over 2 years now thanks to school computers. I just now bought my own copy and was looking for some things to make.

As for 2D shooters, I love playing them and hate making them. I've already made two and hated the way they turned out.

LD - I'll be working on R3. Release date - WHEN IT COMES OUT LOLZ

I got dibz on R4 then... I got all the music and loading and such down... Now for adding in the interaction with the arrows and such...

Flash IIDX or Pop n Music is what I would make if I didnt already have many projects lined up...

Not very original in the sense that the games exist, however, no flash games have been made to simulate those two arcade/console games...

flyingsmeditor · 12-31-2004, 08:06 AM

Make a Flash Super Mario Bros. That would be teh shit!

**lightdarkness** · 12-31-2004, 08:32 AM

Make a Flash game that does my homework.

Seriously, it's really hard.

emccky · 12-31-2004, 09:24 AM

Make an IIDX Flash game, that would be cool.

**Spazzbite** · 12-31-2004, 10:36 AM

If you made a IIDX Flash game, I would run over to your house just to kiss your feet and feed you grapes. DO EET!

babybenji2004 · 12-31-2004, 10:39 AM

IIDX would probably be the best. Please make it =)

**Squeek** · 12-31-2004, 11:00 AM

I would have to actually KNOW the config for IIDX before I began this undertaking...

I've never played it before, you know. All I know about it is that there are 7 buttons and a scratcher, and that the bars scroll down and make a flash appear when you hit it. Can I get someone to lay out the specifics for me?

Oh, by the way, this will be a "background project", meaning I will work on this from time to time while working on other projects. Which means, keep throwing out other ideas for me. I was thinking of making a game where you have to progressively multitask more and more things; kinda like microgames in WarioWare all at once.

Omeganitros · 12-31-2004, 11:27 AM

I was thinking of suggesting something like WarioWare.

I seem to remember this really old game where you took over the world via global war between two powers (you and the other player) and it was so cool...

QreepyBORIS · 12-31-2004, 01:49 PM

Flash me.

zildjian133 · 12-31-2004, 02:14 PM

So now I'm on Twitter @NoahWright. And I write the blog for their website. Plus I do cool programming in-house that you'll never see. =O
