Title: Interesting Game Idea
Post by: ViciouZ on October 09, 2007, 04:04:53 PM

I had a crazy idea to make a game with:

It's an FPS, set in a post apocalyptic kind of mad-max future, and all the weapons have been looted or taken, or don't work. So you have to improvise. You start with a knife and a gun or something, and pick up basic materials from around the place like duct tape, fireworks, wine bottles, tubing etc, and then once you have enough you pop down your inventory screen and use the menu to combine a couple of these objects. For a few seconds you're vulnerable. Then you can use the weapon you've made, e.g. tubing + bottle of wine + fireworks + duct tape = "rocket propelled molotov launcher", etc. Of course, this would take ages to make, so... this sounds mad, but, anyone want to help do it? :-P


Edit:

I'm dumb, could an admin split this into a new thread please?

Sounds very Half-Life 2ish.  Sorry no help here, too busy.

My brother played a game that did exactly that, although in a much more cartoonish manner (and not post-apocalyptic).

I did think it might fit well with source.
