I suppose it couldn’t hurt to post a few of my ideas.
First off: ETE, Elective Terminal Entertainment.
In the year 2XXX, humanity has come together. Crime, poverty, illness, all gone. Death is even curable, with cloning technology and memory transfers one can be all but immortal. But the populace gets more and more bored with life as time goes on, adopting ever more dangerous sports for the adrenaline rush that their lives lack.
During one such brutal game, an athlete dies. Quickly they bring him to a cloning center and he is brought back to life in a new body. This sets off a collective light bulb in the heads of the people as they realize they can even involve ‘death’ in their games without consequence. Thus ETE is formed, Elective Terminal Entertainment. This has many possibilities for gameplay, but I’ll focus on one for now. A shooter in the classic style of Quake or UT. The twist is, this is a game played by adrenaline junkies- the lower your health, the more points you get for a kill. Do you play it safe and keep healing as you fight? Or do you risk death to gain the edge in score? At the start of a match, will you seek out armor and health boosts? Or will you hurt yourself with a rocket to get an early score lead?
I think this game has a great twist on classic shooters, and I have more game modes in mind as well. (flying vehicle races/deathmatches)
If you think this is an interesting idea, let me know! Even if nobody is able to make it, I’d like to know if the idea itself is solid. Also, let me know if you’d like to read any of my other story/game ideas! I have several fairly unique ones.
