Game Idea

So, after talking to a couple of people, and now that updating games are free, I have been inspired to make a new game.
It will be called "Lrn2aim". It is an aiming simulator and will be free. I think it will help a lot of people in MNC.

You will have a couple of options to select - first or third person, bloom, and complex reload (press a random button to complete reload faster like in GoW)

It will start simple. Stage one will have you put the reticle over a circle. You did it!!

As you go up in stages, the circle will move and you have to keep the reticle on it, then you will eventually have to use right trigger, then it turns into a person, and eventually you will have to move, jump, duck obstacles, avoid falling off the map, and deal with idiot team mates who get into your line of fire. Guns will be a choice between a pistol, sniper rifle, burst fire rifle, and full auto rifle.

I plan to have a stage for quickscope and claw training too, but they will be optional.

Leaderboards will be based on fastest stage completion time for your particular option set and weapon.

I am downloading a copy of Havok, but I think getting an SDK for XBone might be a better idea. Hopefully I can make it work though. I know that most of us here don't need it (or deny that we do) but I would love to send people who are bad a link to it. Any options you guys would like to see? Anyone want to help?

not gona lie i only read like 2 sentences.. but i like what i read

Great idea.

Instead of all that though, just make a clone of Intelligent Qube. That's what I really want to play. Thanks.

id buy that.. F free

Is it going to be based around MNC? The thing is that every game has different sensitivity, frames per second, lag compensation, there a thousand things to consider. It still seems like a good idea though.

It won't be MNC based, but rather more generic. Some games don't use recoil (bloom), some are third person, some have option reload systems, etc. I wanted to make those options you can select at the start of a given stage. The maps will likely be very MNC like, mostly because they are not that complex graphically and it is easy to run on the Xbox.

I will get a proof of concept going, and see what I can get by the end of the summer. Idealy, what I want to do is get a set of stages and trials so that if they work, they can be included in other games; sort of like so many games have a CTF mode now, I would love to see a "Lrn2aim" mode built into some games.

Recoil and bloom aren't the same thing, just an fyi

Yeah, I know. I just lump them together because it works for me to understand it even though they are different. Just a problem with my understanding of things - I need a rough draft of stuff for sure, and have good players check it out.

I'd love to have options to have any console aiming mechanics removed. No auto aim or aim assist. I think that's the only way to truly improve your aim with analog sticks, considering that if you had the mechanics to help you won't reach your full potential

100% agree. Since it is a single player "game", there is no need for the assist that is built in to most games to compensate for lag to be applied. If you are good without it, you will be good with it - in theory.

make people pay for it. and also maybe somehow make it reconize diff game mechanics (meaning alotta things)

and can i be THE FINAL BOSS??

If I can even get it off the ground. Havok is great because you can get the whole dev suite (a $250,000 value) for free. You can even publish games using it, you just can't charge for them. So the game will be free because I ain't got that kind of money to spend on this. Unreal has the engine for free, but you can't publish anything with it. Both rules might have changed, I don't know. I really have not looked.

Using specific mechanics is not really likely unless the game also uses Havok. A lot of games do but more use Unreal and then there are some custom ones like Frostbite. Besides, it is outside of the scope of what I am trying to do; most games languish because they suffer from severe scope creep (*cough*Duke Nukem Forever*cough*). Maybe I can do that if I ever make Lrn2aim2, but I would really like to see this as a normal option in anything with online vs. play.

bluntkingmcpussy will be the final boss - then everyone will know who he really is.

hmm, well you know how sometimes you kill the badguy, then he comes.back to life like 10000 TIMES MORE BEAST!?

can that be me?

Hahaha! I love it!

look.. A FAN BASE^

You ridin' my nuts so hard I'm trippin' your gag reflex.

Can you taste it?

That's your mom, bro.

Yep.

Ooh DAY-UM! Brotha just flipped the script!

Everyone look! He flipped the script!

If he can flip the script with only a fraction of a keyboard ... man, I'm Audi 5000!

This fool be WRECKLESS!

Let's have it.
