Sounds incredible, Lowtax, but what you are talking about would run at least a couple hundred thousand dollars and a long-rear end time to develop properly. Your idea is essentially a competitive goons-only MMO themed around forum culture. Now, I'm pretty sure that makes most of us jizz our pants, but it's really not feasible. Especially if you want it to be free! You could always run a private Minecraft server, modded however you like, with multiple factions along forum-lines, with membership contingent on forum postcount, and power structures built around either some kind of intra-forum democratic process, or (and this is what I would do if I were you) arbitrarily (or meritocratically) dictated by the admins and mods. You could set up periodic and mandatory battles with victory conditions and award the members of the victorious factions some trivial privileges, either in-game or on the forums. In short: I could see an SA-run and (more relevantly to your original idea) SA-themed Minecraft server where admins and mods call the shots and we run around killing each other for worthless prizes to be a huge blast which could easily add several layers to the community dynamics of this place, depending on how ubiquitous participation becomes. But building a goons-only MMO from scratch in the way you're describing is a colossal task, and it's a little hard to see what could be gained from it.

I'm broke, but I'll put my kickstarter donation on my credit card. Hell, I'll get yet another avatar too. It's okay. It's not real money. v  vThis sounds like it could be a whole lot of fun- Maybe next time my dude loses the election I can sort of make good on my promise to expatriate by symbolically moving to the socialist utopia of D&D.

It will be hard to tell the players and objects apart since everything will look like a crudely drawn dick. Is this dick a shovel, or a sword? If I put this dick in this slightly larger dick, will I be able to smelt iron? And will the resulting iron also look like a dick? Edit: Of course it will.

I like the idea but as it was said earlier, this would work better if it was a Kingdom of Loathing style game. It would probably be actually possible to make too compared to the original idea.

Agreed, a Kingdom of Loathing style game would be much more feasible, would fit into the forums well and would have plenty of scope for forum in-jokes.

Charge $2.99/mo for the game, and anyone subscribed to the game gets Premium and Archives and can change their avatar once a month. You could possibly reduce bandwidth by creating other things to do besides exploring the game world and using that 200kB/s. Maybe create houses, enclosed area or markets. Allow scripts to be made and applied to things, ala Second Life. Maybe the scripts should be approved first, which is possible because the game will not be as large as SL. You can also appoint moderators who can approve things in exchange for free use of the game. Let people make their own avatars using a voxel-like editor. 3D "sprites" could be made, along with animations for walking, talking, attacking, etc. This could be either 8 or 16-bit (or both, letting the user decide the fidelity). The governmental ideas are OK, but should maybe be put on hold. There should be some sort of integration with the forum on day one, however. Also, people shouldn't be tied down to one subforum in-game, or else they might hang out in those real forums where they are not loving wanted and their posts suck.

, but it reflects poorly on the forums.

Seconding Kingdom of Loathing style game, i.e. turn-browser-based RPG or strategy or whatever you call it. Should be relatively easy to develop, does not require ridiculous resources neither to host nor to run and you can start with simple framework and add new features along the way similarly to how KoL adds new locations.

Well, at least Lowtax gets ideas from time to time. Maybe this is a consequence of having a decent admin; things on the forums don't seem complicated enough anymore so it becomes let's make minecraft but not use minecraft because we don't want to make it minecraft except it should be minecraft, also free.

You have to get with the times and go full Hyperdimension Neptunia. Wargames don't sell, anime games do, and the more pandering the better. I mean, Wargames require you to think and compete. People don't want that in games anymore, they want to be catered to, they want to just be in charge of making the numbers go up and occasionally seeing girls in inappropriate sexual situations. It's like whenever I'm with my family they don't ever want to watch any movie that's too "thinky" or "depressing", because "life is hard enough", so they complain unless you just watch cgi cartoon movies or blockbusters like the marvel movies, it's the same here. Everyone knows goons are the smartest and it's stressful for them to have to prove it in a video game. You have to make them all underdressed underaged anime girls, hire the least talented highest pitch voice actresses possible (and give them helium), and then it doesn't matter what the gently caress else you do. Just phone in the shittiest script with the cheapest jokes possible and put in out-of-place sexual references whereever possible (anime loves this poo poo because there's no other jokes in Japan beyond slapstick, puns, and hypersexuality. Have the women constantly take shots at each others boobs/lackofboobs and panties and stuff because that's what women do irl right) and take resources from other games. Rip a battle system off some other game and then that's all the gameplay you need, the rest can be dialog and drawings of the girls. Sure Hyperdimension Neptunia was largely panned as a completely shite game by... everyone... but goons still publicly admit to liking it in the current LP thread and some of them even get mad if you mock it there, so I'm sure they'd be happy to be represented in a totally creepy manner. Don't worry about whether your portrayals of the forums have anything to do with the respective forums, anything you do can be passed as irony/parody. FYAD can be the submissive one that calls GBS master. GBS could be loved by everyone, everyone laughs at her jokes. PYF could quote TVTropes incessantly and know what game she's in. Yospos is a cattegirl. etc, etc, this poo poo writes itself. Get that Demon Rush guy to make it, he's made two great jrpgs already. Goons will love it.

I have a minecraft clone where the dynamic chunk creation and infinite world mechanics are working in a client/server. It is written in C#/XNA, and the base libraries are all under the MIT license. Could easily port to other things. It's pretty early on in it's development and is basically just a lump of featureless cube buildin' clay ready to be molded with ideas, so this project could grow it. You don't get that one, but you get one very similar to it.  e: Full-time job opportunity at Awful Studios? I am dead serious about being considered for this. It intersects with a bunch of my career goals including programming a game full-time and making a block-builder game. KoRMaK fucked around with this message at Jan 2, 2013 around 13:46 |

Does anyone remember the thread that let you claim and decorate isometric plots and allow you to create your own objects to put in it. It was within the last year and came after Goon City. This one was a silverlight powered game, so it was more ad-hoc than Goon city.
