Need ideas!

[Renandchi2]

Ok guys, I wanna make a game. But I have no ideas on what to make! Does anybody have suggestions?

I am intermediate at AS2
Something made a lot, but original (like Time4Cat)
Hopefully it won't take that long
Hopefully a score over 3/5 on Newgrounds
Something that can have achievements, so I can maybe put the Kongregate API

Does anbody have any ideas? I'd appreciate any help. Thanks!

That sounds like a good idea, but I am a sucky at AI. But I may b able to do it...
I even may be able to put online play!

That's a good suggestion, but I'd still like to hear others. Thanks

Hmmm.....

Something Id like to see is a game based on playing tennis with proper rules and all.

What about a flash version of Guitar Hero, but using your keyboard instead of a guitar...

[BillysProgrammer]

First of all, those have all been done before. Also, you need to think of your own ideas instead of asking around, which means in the end your taking theres which could be something they do.

Learn to think for yourself!

Na. I don't play much GH, so I couldn't make a proper game

I couldn't code something like that. I still like the idea!

So far I'm gonna makee a racing game

I really like that idea! But should it be an overhead camera, or what?
That's what I think I will makee, but I may need help coding (if it's not overhead)

I was thinking side-scroller, but its your game, make it as you wish.

I love that idea. However, I cannot code somthing like that. I am gonna make a thread asking for a programmer. I will animate. Thanks for the idea!

Character Modification Game

Explanation: A character modification game is based or a completely moldable character. Meaning there are no upgrades for the character, and all the tools that the character can use is already with him from beginning to end. The difference between this kind of character and someone like Mario 64 is that before each level you can change certain attributes to accomodate the strategy you want to imploy for a level. Here's a character I came up with.

Notice how on Level 1 I chose him to have longer legs and a smaller mouth. My long legs means I can run faster, have a longer reach to hit enemies, and grab onto ledges.
On Level 2 I chose him to have a bigger mouth so when he jumps he can grab onto that tree branch overhanging the small gorge. And while it may not be much use in attacking, the extra piece of head he right there makes a good defense item to pary other attack (the enemies aim for the black block) The thing about this game is that players need to be able to switch attributes mid level.

This is intense AI i'm talking here so you probably aren't interested. just wanted to throw it out there.

I know this is kinda out there, but what about a fighting game, that all you do is special moves...
Not the boring punch, and you don't have to spaz out your hand just to do a drop kick.
And I haven't seen anyone else do it.
Plus you could do it with sprites if you felt like it.
I'd be pumped to be super Sonic everytime I pushed A.

if you suck at ai just put the computers on motion tween the whole time and if you knock them off the track have a reset to where the fell off or checkpoint. very easy to implement.

You know a lot of writers have flash posts saying "need an artist" and those people say the same thing (except learn to draw). As long as both parties are getting their fair share of credit, than what the problem of asking for an idea. Games do have more than one person working on them in real life.
As for an idea. The game doesn't need to be orginal in terms of gameplay in my opinion, but orginal in terms of story. Add a story to whatever your creating and it will work
