'Open World' game

[joe2114]

hi, I would like to post my idea for a flash game idea I had.

The concept is a free roaming sidescrolling platformer. it will have a huge map, with feaatures such as a skyscraper, a city, a sewer system (infested by mutants), an island cave (with monster) undersea base and oil rig. it will be all one scrolling screen (apart from the interiors) and there will be a wide variety of weapons and suits (like rad-suit and scuba suit) and vehicles, all in a sidescrolling environment. I have spoken to my cousins (they make games) and they said that they would make it except that we have no graphics to use and I thought that it should be made in flash. (or java) if you feel like helping me, then e-mail me at

ok before the flaming begins, Im going to say, make some flash submisions before you try something big.

and btw ideas mean almost nothing here.

If I could get a chance to help, how will I help you in your flash? Do I mail it with an item in it and send it to you?

It's been done, Knytt Stories.
You should show some good skill to attract interest as normally any moron can come up with game ideas.

Fixed.

Alas, to the topic starter, if you need an artist for this project you'd be better off putting something on the table that's solid, for example, an engine, concept art you want fleshed out, an exhaustive list of art assest the game will need to give a scope of the work required. Providing all of the above is your best bet but you need to provide something to get any productive feedback.

Game ideas doesn't need quotes

It's okay, you don't get it.
