Theme Test Market

[Bulbazak]

I just came up with 2 theme ideas, and I wanted to see if there would be interest in the games:

Fringe Mafia

- I've already looked it up, and there have been 2 mini theme games based on the source material before, but they only focused on certain seasons. I'm thinking of a Large Theme that uses characters from the series's entire 5 season run. And trust me, I can go obscure.

Joss Whedon Mafia: The Musical

- 13 player Mini Theme game. I'm just going to leave it at that.

I really need to stop coming up with Theme ideas...

[Bulbazak]

I think there was a recent fiasco that would make that difficult.

[Bulbazak]

Has anybody done a Binding of Isaac themed game?

[Bulbazak]

I'm sketching out some ideas. I figure there will need to be a lot of back in forth during the development phase. Maybe a thread where people could suggest items from the game for consideration. I would also get a group together to design the entire thing. I'm currently working on making it less swingy, but if you are going to have items in the mix, I don't think that can be avoided. At best, you'll just have to mess with the likelihood that they could show up.

[Bulbazak]

Now I definitely have to make this game work.

[Bulbazak]

The earliest I can probably run it is fall of this year. I have Ikaruga Mafia and another Large Theme that I want to run first.

[Bulbazak]

It looks like GiF's running a game. It looks like it has some different mechanics than I had in mind, so I'll just put mine on the backburner until I finish working out all the kinks.

[Bulbazak]

That's okay. That doesn't put as much pressure on me to get the game together as soon as possible. That way I can spend as much time as I need getting Wrath of the Lamb ready.

[Bulbazak]

The SC2 game could be good if it united all 3 console specific characters. Link vs. Spawn. Go!

[Bulbazak]

I was referring to the mafia game.

[Bulbazak]

I was referring to the mafia game.

Ah, gotcha. I kinda just wanna keep it for series exclusive characters, though

My point was that if the game was going to be specifically based on SC2, and not the whole series, then the exclusive characters should be featured as well.

[Bulbazak]

No reviews yet, not ironed out, but it's been an idea in my head in some form or another for a very long time and I was wondering if there would be interest in this humorous take on things, blending movies with novels with mafia. (If there is, then I'll begin the refinement of the idea.)

That depends. Do I win? Or at the very least, am I part of the epic 1v1 showdown at the very end on top of the [insert awesome final battle setting here]?

[Bulbazak]

Interested in a Mass Effect Mafia series based on the video games series. Maybe three games, following the story. I hope to have interesting mechanics that are flavor-relevant.

Would anyone be interested in playing? Or designing/co-modding, for that matter?

Will the third game have an ending that doesn't change no matter what choices we make?

[Bulbazak]

Aegor wants to sabotage himself. That's fine with me.

[Bulbazak]

Has there ever been a role run where someone is town but becomes stronger for every mislynch? Either they get charges for a PR or get a random read on a player, something like that.

Yes. Zorastor uses a scaling investigative role that gets stronger for every mislynch and resets after every successful scum lynch.
