I have an idea for a game. This was inspired from the old missle command game. (You remember the lines streaking down from the top of the screen and your defending cities on the ground). So very similiar idea but with a VB twist. My idea is a game called Meteor Defender VB (Just in case Meteor Defender is already taken:)). You operate a lateral moving turret in first person view. In front of you are cities that need to be defended. Falling from the sky are meteors and by moving your turret left and right and moving the cross hairs of the gun up and down it’s your job to protect all the cites. It would be very arcade like in style in that it would get progressively more difficult to defend as you advance through the levels. Perhaps even a survival mode for highscore compitetions that would just increase in difficulty until it’s basically impossible to go any further. All with wireframe graphics, perhaps some simple animations (like cities on fire, exploding meteors, etc..), high score screens after each level keeping track of accuracy giving bonuses for each city that survived the onslaught. But something that is fun to play, relatively easy to make and shows off a little of what the virtual boy can do.
If I was really ambitious I’d even attach a screen shot of that game from mednafen if it was a work in progress 🙂

I’d love to see another 2D Action Platformer like this.
I didn’t make it, was a Gameboy style mockup I saw on PixelJoint once and recoloured for VB at the time.

After VVVBBB, here’s a more original game idea I want to share with you guys:
Mach 7
A futuristic top-down racing game, think F-Zero meets Micro Machines. It would support a PlayLink-to-USB cable in combination with a little PC client to allow for several online modes.
* Grand Prix: 4 ships compete in 4 races in different cups
* Quick Race: a single race against 3 opponents
* Time Challenge: race against the clock, trying to beat the fastest time for each track
* Best Times: a scoreboard of your best times for each track, features online sync to a community scoreboard hosted on PVB
* Multiplayer: Local or online 2-4 player quick races or grand prix

Unnamed MetroidVania
Here’s a mocked-up scene from an action platformer I have been conceiving lately. I envision something Metroid-esque, gritty, story-driven with a few stealth elements, full of hand-drawn 3D environments.
I might follow this one further and have been thinking about creating a little playable demo of that scene you see here. It took me like two weeks to only create this little mock-up, though, so I am gonna take a break first. 😉

Thanks guys! In case anyone’s interested in creating more mockups, background graphics, enemies, level designs, story ideas, coding, or whatever, get in touch. Who knows what might come out of it. 🙂

I want to play this just so I can find out what “robotic waste” is 😀
You tell me, it’s your native language! But seriously, I guess that’s not how solid or liquid remains of robots after being scrapped are called. 😀
