Long-term Serious Discussion – Glory Days

1 please read and think carefully

2 the objective is improving the game design

3 this is completely theoretical

4 links are always good

Glory Days aims:

1 as realistic as possible

2 give player numerous options

3 high depth

The Layout

You are responsible for keeping the space command center, Glory Days, functional, efficient, and defended from the unknown enemies. Glory Days is the most important and significant center in this galaxy. You has a first person view of the completely non-linear world and command center. This is the future, and space has been developed and is interconnected.

These are what you are charged with:

-command squads and other miltary units

-intelligence gathering of unknown enemies,

-research, and purchase weapons, upgrade,

What else?

There is an economic system which affects the price of purchases.

So these are the menus/areas you need:

Menu to command squads

Intelligence unit – what type of intelligence and its completeness is unpredictabe

Purchasing menu – new types of items are added unpredictably

Mission log menu – shows current missions, and efficiency in completing it. Completed missions are recorded in the next tab over.

What else? Menus are important. How can the player be able to realistically influcence this unpredictablity?

Events drives the game. Events are unpredictable to you and occurs in real-time, but you have statistics of previous events that may be helpful in the defense. Events have a logic behind them but it’s a vastly complicated puzzle that you may wish to understand. Some events are:

Challenges

1 different types of attacks, such as attacking Glory Days’ technologies, communications of command order, spy infiritration, and these attacks have different degree of damage, and in what is targeted.

2 There’s a political system. You have your position today because you deserve it. You earned it but there are corrupted politicans and powerful people who will try to replace you. How well you protect the civilians determines your fate. Politicans havea great influence on Events.

3 Traitors in the ranks

4 Memories problems: you are experienced to be where you are today. You seen a lot; you get flashbacks from time to time.

5 Diseases: You will be afflicted w/ one life-threatening dieaese. You must find someone to continue your legacy.

What missing?

Types of specific Threats

[edit]

What are the various threats?

You can leave the command center at any time for a mission or to explore. For the most part, it typically is dangerous out there so you should always prepare. See #Threats. You cannot carry unlimited items outside. There is no sci-fi technology that will afford this. When you are outside, events made happen inside, so it’s always a risk to go Outside. There are Mini games that can be played in the command center, but then you will be away from your post.

Creation tools

You can create limited tools in Glory Days to help you, but what kinds?

This is more like a customization/simulation/strategy type of game, and you are roleplaying. I currently don’t know of any games in the entire world of Earth like it. If you are aware of any, please link it. I will update the thread to improve it periodically.

Again,

What the tits is this?

[sarge mat]

Though it was going to be a post about the days of the PS1 etc

I have no idea what this is.

[D3ads]

Either they're trying to tell us about some kind of realistic wartime simulator they're working on or this is spam, I can't tell which...

[-HP-]

tl;dr... plz, someone tell me if I should close this thread.

If this is a serious post then it really needs some work. If this is supposed to be a one-page pitch then it needs to focus on your game pillars and USPs. If it’s a high-level design it needs to contain a vast amount more detail, like the genre and not describing the enemy force as “unknown.”

[iambinary]

hmm.. interesting 5 posts and no discussions... in a "game design.. community"

does any mods delete the spammers? or is this common and proper?

[FrieChamp]

I don't know if it's your English or if you're just being silly, either way I'm going to close this. No offence.
