First off, I'm not too sure if this is the place for this first post, I've read a couple stickys and stuff.. and I've been to other threads, but, I guess I wanted to post my idea's/discussion here. And..Hello Gamedev.net, I'm ViolentL :) Anyways.. I wanted to talk about a new RTS/MMORPG Sci-fi/Fantasy game, I've got alot of the techtree and the beginnings of a 'sample' storyline written up. ..And I want to poll what you guys might think about having a new maybe.. indie MMRPG come out, or.. first off having a RTS to back it up. I call it Star Empire: Factions.. because it basically has the classic storyline of a sci-fi space game.. slightly similar to blizzard's title starcraft but alot different.. basically I want to make a new RTS game that will blow starcraft outta the water.. and take over the sci-fi space rts market.. right now I think the only games orientated to that side would be starwar's series of game genres and the blizz's infamous starcraft...along with the old 2d Master of Orion series which Im a huge fan of. But, the main thing I saw with MoO3 is that it's slightly too complex as well as civ4.. It's easy to get into it once you do, but I was thinking of having something alot more simpler than that for a RTS. basic gathering of resources and building a base in the virtual world.. having a storlyine with twists.. ..Was wanting to ask what anyone else thinks about making/creating/devving a new RTS space game and maybe eventually making a MMO out of the storyline of that. maybe rpg like set on one of the main homeworlds in the RTS game. something not as focused on space exploration / domination and more-so on adventuring, after that. or.. do it vice versa.. Ideas? anyone? :) -ViolentL p.s. Btw I have a text with sample storyline, including most of the unit designs and a techtree for building and a couple ship upgrades. The only things left I foresee having is a techtree for the ship designs on the rts, having a good storyline editor or three. :P and making the game engine.. maybe one more graphically intensive than most other indie's I've seen. Basically I'm into concept design, with limited knowledge of programming/sales rep.. but I'm fairly decent at photoshop and art. and with pencil and paper I'm ~stresses~ really well. I just need a crew to get it started and dedicated.. its hard finding real talent in the areas im looking for though, as most folks are generally hired and don't look into making a fun rts/mmrpg on their own team/crew. Looking for criticism/positive feedback!! [Edited by - ViolentL on April 17, 2006 7:35:14 PM]

Hmm, cut the space part of that and you got yourself a nice game. All space genres feel the same story wise. Try post apocolyptic for your Sci-Fi scenarios, or time travel. Or a robot story filled with some crazy xeniphobia. Other aspects of Sci-Fi are way more interesting than the space genre.
