So I was thinking of two main ideas. 1. Non-alien required research projects, like Pyrotechnic Weaponry or Biological Weaponry. 2. Branching research paths, three in all. Human: take what we know about the aliens, and make it ourself. Tech-Thief: steal their weaponry, use and improve it. Fusion: splice traits from aliens into ourselves (Gene mods from Enemy Within, but expanded and tweaked) So talk about them, give some criticism, and tell me your own ideas! Note: I am not a coder or moder. If you wish to take my ideas and make your own game, that'd be awesome.

It's spelled "constructive criticism" btw. Edit: Hope this helps OP! Good luck with the kickstarter. May I recommend selling JPEGS for increasingly higher prices? It has worked before with kickstarters. ScootsMcSkirt fucked around with this message at 21:21 on Nov 25, 2015 |

What sort of storyline do you envision? I have a few friends who are into game coding, but you'd have to impress them pretty hard with your vision. Setting? Characters? What makes it unique?

That sounds like a really cool idea, OP. Have you checked out the newest and greatest Firaxis installment of the XCOM series coming out in only a couple months? You could probably pull some really good inspiration from that too!

What makes it unique? While I agree that story is important, I like to think that elaborate twists and the like are more suited for RPG's and visual novels. Don't get me wrong, i'm going to have a good story, but I'm basing it more on XCOM Ufo Defense that Enemy Within.

I am definitely looking at a let's play or getting XCOM 2, and I'll see if it can have any ideas in can modify or Frankenstein together with other ideas when it comes out.

FactsAreUseless posted:He made some good points, if we want this goon game to be Kickstarter-ready we have to put in some work. Alright, first. Let's get a good idea of what the three paths will do. A. Alien alloys. Human: Basic Armor. Tech Thief: Manufacture AA. Fusion: Armor Grafting (Permanent defence increase and 5% damage reduction) B. Pyrotechnic Weaponry Human: Incindiary Grenades Alien: Elerium Flamethrower Fusion: Umm... Nothing. Feel free to give ideas for this spot! Alright, now tell me what could be improved. (Oh, and the systems in-game should be more Xenonauts-ish, with stats and base management, but with more EW-ish classes and menus.)

Yeah maybe Fusion can do that beef and tank stuff maybe you think?

Junpei posted:B. Pyrotechnic Weaponry How about your soldiers get a white and red suit and when they pump their fist out in front of them a fireball flies out. Call it FireFlower. This is an original idea please do not steal unless you are Junpei or one of his approved coders.

I actually think that the ability to manage relationships in your unit through a dating minigame would add a lot. Other tactical games have done it well.

I didn't say anything about hentai, just the ability to connect to your troops on an emotional level. It will make battles more tense and interesting.

Maybe a more Fire Emblem like experience, where characters develop their relationships by coordinating attacks and supporting each other?
