I have always wanted to make video games, and plan on making them in my spare time. I have lots of Ideas but the one I'm shareing has the greastest potenial to be suceseful.

The game I want (emphasis on the word want) is called Warband. It is a open world FPS/RPG with strategy elements. It is set in the Minneapolis metro area right after a devastating disaster that caused the United States to collagse causing wide spread anarchy, violence, and starvation. The main point of the game is to create or join a warband, and use both their skills and yours to survive. You can also decide to survie by yourself, but the game is extermly hard if you choose to do that. The game will have a heavy emphasis on convincing or forceing people to do what you want. It will also have a heavy emphasis on human psychology. Right now the only point of the game is to survive but eventally it will have a goal.

I'm planning on using the Creation engine or the engine that is used by the STALKER series. I think the Creation engine would be a way better choice however, becasue of it's character creation software and the fact that it seems more user friendly.

This is the current skill and attribute list that I have created. (it might not work to figure out how to put documents on here)

I will give more information about the game as it is requested. What I would like is some advice and criticism about the game. Since the game is only an idea right now I would appreciate it if most of your advice is about the idea itself and not about things like marketing that can be saved for later.

How do you upload documents on these forums?

I don't think you can (atleast if you mean what I think you do)...if it's a screenshot or something you have to post it on some dedicated site and share the link though.

I like the general concept of the game

BTW will you even be able to use the Creation Engine to create a whole new game, unrelated to Skyrim in anyway shape or form that is? :huh:

Very cool concept. As for uploading documents, you're probably better off just copypasting the skill list into a spoiler tag. It'll be quicker than uploading it to a download mirror.

That was the most annoying thing I've every had to do. They need to make it so you can upload documents and pictures to the forum itself.

Edit: Sorry it looks so bad.

Will it basically would be a super hard core mode. Then again that's pretty much what every game that doesn't have it's on engine is anyway.

I would like it. I'd hope you would model my house .

Where do you live?

Quite a bit north of Minneapolis. Not really in the area.

Also, I don't really believe I feel like giving away my location to some guy (Presumably in the area) on the internet. No offense. :/

I was just asking for the general area. Where your house is will defiantly be in the map. I'm planing on having the map go north all the way to the Boundary Waters and end just under Chicago on the south side.

Yeah it's just north of the cities.

So will it have like an original Fallout style map to it? That's a lot of area.

The disaster is not going to be a nuclear holocaust. That's a little over done.

It is a lot of area, but it's not going to be to scale, and I'm not going to feature every town.

By the Fallout style map, I meant where you just click and it has you travel there. I agree though, nuclear holocaust would be a bit overdone.

Anyways, sounds like a cool concept.

Hmm, I've never thought of adding fast travel before. I'll have to think of how to balance that.

As far as the map goes I still haven't decided if I'm going to have map makers or just have it look like a road map.

What do you guys think of the skill list. Personally the only skill that I'm a little concerned about right now is Carpentry. It would be a useful skill to have in a real apocalyptic situation, but I just can't think of much gameplay elements for it. It will help you craft bows, crossbows, arrows, clubs, bats, etc., but that is only a small part of the weapons in the game. If I changed it what would I change it too?
