Gamer Question (and a Marketing Question)

[Champ-=Of-God=- (Eric)]

It's a First Person perspective RPG/shooter. The game is kind of like Alpha Protocol (great game, BTW) in the way that your choices will affect how the world reacts to you (for example, there is a time where an allied commander and enemy commander are fighting one-on-one, you have a sniper rifle, and the allied commander is losing. If you shoot, you embarrass your Allies, anger the commander, and might just be on your own. If you don't shoot, your Allies will no longer support you, the commander is dead, and your on your own against all of the enemies. What do you do?), and that you have skills that you can use/gain with experience in certain fields. There are also weapons from various times (M1 Grands to SCAR-H's to RPG-7's to Kar 95's to long swords to crossbows).

Just to let everyone know, this is a game that I'm actually getting a few friends of mine together to design and publish, so please answer honestly. If you have any ideas please let me know.

Also, now that I'm off from school and AROTC I'll be more active around here ;D

  Sounds pretty interesting, Eric. Let me know when you get to the point of needing some Beta testers ... I'll see what I can do .

[Goodness]

So basic the game leads you ,where your actions leads you ?.

Sounds interesting ,a little bit like unleashed the force (star wars) .
could be a good game ,but beware the game industry is a tough business.

tip : be original (graphic and play style) ,don't be some clone of another game

Trying not to. Play Alpha Protocol and you'll learn at least the basis of the "game changes with your choices" type of game play. The game is unbelievably addictive.

Yeah, the gaming industry is tough, but from the little bit of marketing research that I've done, shows that there is at least a small group of people that will play it.

I'm hoping that a few friends of mine that I currently go to school with, will help me build this (they're all Comp Sci majors, and I'm Business, so I'm not going anywhere on my own, lol). Currently this is still in "story" format, so it will be a long time before I need to get a beta-testing group together. Here's to hoping that this game will become another Portal.

Ill beta test for you :] lol. if you need a little help with anything on it ask :]

[Champ-=Of-God=- (Eric)]

I got plenty of beta testers (aka everyone I have ever asked), what I need is more people for the design/development team. I'm currently the only one actively working on this...
