An economic simulator that allows people to "vote" on their own self interest on such things as health care, minimum wage, getting government hand-outs, etc. There's a "bank" of wealth that can only be added to with actual production of goods and services and can be undermined by the producers getting tired of having their profits stolen by the self entitled crowd using political pressure. [EDIT] Some sort of IQ test (or that wouldn't fall into the game catagory?). I took some online IQ tests around 10 years ago, tried it again just a couple days ago and EACH AND EVERY ONE I TRIED was a horrible scam of some sort. Then I tried http://www.mensa.org/ but they don't give you a "score". I really admire the U.S. Constitution. It's so much better than what we have now. |

Ideas are a dime a dozen. Implementation is the killer that separates the men from the boyz. I really admire the U.S. Constitution. It's so much better than what we have now. |

A game where you sit around like a mindless drone running a cafe or a farm. Throw in some virtual currency that you can convert real currency for too. |

piccolo said: they worth millons too. At the very least I'm not that naive. I don't expect my ideas to be worth much of anything, I just don't want the ideas to be stolen. I'd prefer someone come to them individually. -- |

An RPG that starts off in 2D black-and-white. As you wander around, you "learn" about greyscale, and you are able to now see in greyscale. Then you learn about color (or maybe one color at a time) and you can now see in color. Then you learn about "3D" and the world is now available in 3D. As you learn new things, you can apply them; if you skip any stages, your game would certainly be more interesting: Learning 3D before greyscale (which of course comes before color), and your entire 3D world is black-and-white only (no shades of grey). -- |

A game where you play as a telepathic laser beam of a certain burst duration (this is your constitution / life points). You can apply your telekinesis to the mirror that you are currently shining on in order to rotate it and ricochet around to your final target with enough beam power left to vaporise them and blast through to the next level. I'd probably call it shoop da whoop or charged lazors or something like that... Actually scratch that, that's my idea (\ /)_____#_____####__# |

There was this ancient Russian game with ("democrats" and "communists"?? anyway they looked like) blobby frog things hopping over leaves. I assumed it was a well known game-concept, but I haven't found it anywhere. The jig was this:
(As the grid got denser the leaves got smaller, but more common, increasingly making an appeal to your speed, instead of puzzling) A game I (very sexistly) thought of (intended for women of the female kind): Now from the top of my head: Tanks on cubes that fall out of the sky 3D battle. Different drop rates == fun. Yes well, legibility and correct punctuation might not be "street"... but that's how I roll, motherfucker. |

A space RPG, where your character and every NPC always stay in their ships, so you don't have to draw character sprites. The turn based battle system should be awesome, with lots of lasers. ---------------------------------------------------- www.facebook.com/dontrobthemachina |

Ideas are important (otherwise you don't have a game), it's just that they're easy to acquire. You know, like air. [EDIT] http://www.sloperama.com/advice/idea.html [EDIT2] I didn't see the argument in that article about how a game company doesn't even want to listen to your idea, because they just may already be working on a similar idea, and don't want you running around later claiming they "stole" your idea. I really admire the U.S. Constitution. It's so much better than what we have now. |
