A kind of weird game idea

Hi fellows,

I had this idea for a game, but since I’m deep in another project, I’m deciding if I’ll pursue it right now. The idea goes like this:

The game would be called “Dragon Director”.
It would reveal that actually every medieval RPG you ever played was not real, but actors and props during an interactive movie, and you’d be a director that cannot let the player discover this.
It’d be an auto-runner platformer, when you carry a camera, and you have to issue quick commands to get all heroes and dragons framed inside it, in their frantic battles.
In some stages, you have to collect and drop scene props quick enough before the action arrives and the player discover that all the scenery is fake!
In the cutscenes, you have get papers fast enough to show what the knights and magicians have to speak.

What you think? Although I’m far deep in another game, I’m almost putting this one in the Collaborators section.

Its certainly original. I say run with it.

But I already know it’s not real so I don’t get it.

Re-phrased it in the OP, real in the sense of real inside the game universe.

Sounds kind of confusing.

So it’s like the “Truman Show” only as fantasy a game?

Yea, you got it, Only, inverse to Truman, the in-game character (you) knows the truth, while the player/viewer doesn’t know it.

Sounds interesting, nice take on the infinite runner.

Sounds nice, I think I’ll take it :sunglasses:

I would not chase you for that, since I’d have an idea made for free. But at least gimme some credit, so the one I make will not be accused of being a clone of yours. :shock: I’ll put a topic in the collaborators section, if anyone wanna collaborate! (The other game was already consuming my scarce time, I guess most game developers are doomed to have no life.)

Or some of those with no life are doomed to be a game developer :slight_smile:

Your pick.

Just messin wit’ ya :wink:

Dammit! I was already trying to see your portfolio to wonder how my game would be, while I was relaxing in a nice couch drinking some orange juice and zapping the tv. :slight_smile:

Wreck-It-Ralph

Sounds like “The Movies”

Classic game, but he’s talkin about trickin the player, not running a studio ;). The movies is a simulator for making movies.
