Doesn't hurt to dream once in a while.
Been working up the courage to tacke this idea for quite some time now, not there yet.
Missing the triple A development team and mountain of cash you offered :derp: , among others
things.
A snippet:
Outline of the plot:
The remains of humankind is scattered around the galaxy, lead by few of the finest and
at the same time worst possible individuals imaginable. The protagonist is one of these
individuals. Elevated to the status of demigod, he wrecklessly pursues his agenda with
reasoning and sanity seemingly left behind.
The story is conveyed through the first person perspective and offers a multitude of
environments ranging from foreign planets, surface layers of gas giants and most notably
human made space colonies(true 3D lanscapes). Bringing in the fourth spatial
dimension as a key element.
Gameplay:
The core gameplays idea is to provide a two layer combat system: the soldier level and
the hero level(the player exists on the hero level). The soldiers are mostly concentrated
on their level, while the heroes aim is to defeat the other heroes to win the battle, the
soldiers can engage the heroes but that would require heavy machinery or substantial
outnumbering. The player has at his/her disposal a large variety of weapons and vehicles.
In addition to the core gameplay there are various other scenarios that have a very
different approach and may not contain any regular foes or combat at all.
