You're put in charge of a small game dev company...
What games would you have your company make and why?
On what platform, maybe one maybe all?
Would you try to implement cross platform play?
What art style would you use?
Would you try to make 'indie' games or full on AAA games?
Add anything extra you can think of.

-------------------------------

I would make city building management games in the style of Caesar and Pharaoh. It is games that I really miss, simcity is okay but I actually prefer those city builders.

I would say that city building is suited just to PC.

I don't think cross play could work.

High contrast bright colours, not specifically cartoony but relatively illustrative.

I'd want the city builder game to be AAA

One thing that might be cool is to have two games in one maybe. Like you're the city builder but then another multiplayer game can happen within your city. Like you're getting the birds eye view and building and maybe within the city streets there could be a FPS or assassin creed style game within your city.

small dev company usually = Limited budget

so i would start with side or top scrolling shooters. you can repeat/tile alot of textures, you dont need to have the smartest of ai's etc


and who wouldnt want to see a new modern take on twinbee

Great thread!

Yay!
What games would you have your company make and why?
Telltale type adventure games. I love those and there aren't enough being made.
On what platform, maybe one maybe all?
All of them!
Would you try to implement cross platform play?
We'll only make single player games.
What art style would you use?
It would depend on the game. Hmmm. I have a look in mind for a certain game though. Can't really think of any example games that use that look though. I know of one that's in development and got the shader from them last year if I ever want to use it myself.
Would you try to make 'indie' games or full on AAA games?
Indie most likely. The smaller the team the more love we can put into the project.

4 day work weeks!

Cartoony, because kids
Would you try to make 'indie' games or full on AAA games?

Whoot!
What games would you have your company make and why?
Pokemon haha I wish. But probably a harvest moon type game like stardew valley with loads more RPG elements. A Chrono Trigger game :)
Indie unity games :D
On what platform, maybe one maybe all?
PC
Would you try to implement cross platform play?
No would be to hard to implement.
What art style would you use?
Anime Style/Animation
Would you try to make 'indie' games or full on AAA games?
Indie
 
I would attempt to make a game called 'Football Hooligan'

It would be a cross between GTA and FIFA and you are an up and coming footballer who is trying to keep his career on track but there's a few dodgy characters out to derail you by persuasion or physical harm.
So you get the open world go anywhere do anything and then you also get the FIFA style gameplay when you are on the pitch in a game or practice etc. ( btw, I dreamed this game up while playing FIFA 95 on the megadrive when I was a wee lad, before GTA even.)

I would also try and make a game of WSL ( world surf league ) The best surf game currently is Youriding but it needs to be made into a AAA game. Surf contests all over the world.

I guess, my studio would focus on alternative sports games. AAA all the way.

Click to expand...

Off topic here - but have you played Lethis? It's on Steam at it's very much like Ceasar and Pharaoh. Plays like Emperor: Rise of the Middle Kingdom (the city builder after Zeus which was after Pharaoh)? Maybe too much so.

A Mixture of Openworld & platformers

On what platform, maybe one maybe all?

All

Would you try to implement cross platform play?

Yes cross-platform of mobile, console and PC. Based on platform limitations.

What art style would you use?

I really like cell shaded Anime look but at the same time using available technology to add incredible life to the worlds. Focusing more on interaction that just sexypants graphic fidelity.

Would you try to make 'indie' games or full on AAA games?

Maybe a bit of Both, depends on exposure and capital.

Add anything extra you can think of.

I am missing the good old days of the classic platformer where the focus was less on Sales numbers & catching up to the jones of the technical world.
More focus on involving the player and making the world more believable, interactive and strive to excite the player rather than frustrate.
