[Monthly] Arcade Game Requests!

Pikmon2 · Jul 3, 2013

Hello one and all, welcome to the "Pikmon2 needs ideas for games and needs to finish a game for once" monthly thing! Here's how it works:

1. You post your suggestion for a simple arcade game!
2. I choose one of the ideas to create in a months time (hopefully!)
3. You get to play the game (Other people can to!)

Now here are some things to remember when going into this!:

1. Not very good with 3D.
2. I suck with platformers (Well... really collisions with platformers)
3. Remember to make these simple! Nothing like "Make super mario sunshine k thnx" or something, even if I would like to make a game like Super Mario Sunshine. Also remember to think "Arcade games" when you have an idea!
4. Not very good artist with 2D!

All games will be done in Game Maker 7 Pro. Before anyone says "gam makr sux", look at Spelunky. Look at it. Look at it.

If this should be in the games thread then if someone could move it that'd be nice, but I figured it'd fit in the creative thread, either way, thanks!

Now go ahead and post ideas! I'll be here! Waiting! ENDLESSLY

(PS: All games will be free. They may be uploaded to some free games sites with your permission only! You'll get credit in the opening and in the... credits, as well if you wish! Just tell me.)

CURRENT SUGGESTED IDEAS-

Arena-Style Fighting Game nitasu987
Racing Game - zezmi.
Portal/Arioch's Life - AriochIsVengence
Plane Fighting Game (Such as Galaga)
Street Fighter/ Marvel VS Capcom (nope.avi)
Shoot 'Em Up or Bullet Hell Style (Duffie)
Breakout (755someone755)

Hmm... A simple game...

Maybe make an Arena-style game with the player being some gladiator, and you fight a bunch of increasing difficulty gladiator guys until you win? You can get new weapons after beating certain enemies?

Another suggestion:

American Ninja Warrior o.0

Could you give a bit more details? Just so I can get a better idea, thanks for the idea though!

zezmi · Jul 4, 2013

A racing game! Just with simple speed boosts and maybe 2 or 3 different maps to race on, it doesn't need to be 3D.

Hmmm... Like... The arena is well a Colosseum, and the player starts out with a chain helmet and a spear and after each fight you get money and some prize stuff (Weapons, Consumables, etc) and there could be some quests to fight Monsters like Hydras, Sirens, etc.

Mmk, thanks for explaining more nitasu987
I'll add both to an idea spoiler thing so I can keep them all in one place.
Waiting for some more ideas, then I'll pick one

AriochIsVengence · Jul 5, 2013

Make a puzzle game about a sentient computer with a human slave called Stan! Or just a puzzle platform game. your choice.

I don't think that qualifies as an Arcade game ;C

Anywho, updated OP to include ideas section so I don't have to search through the thread for ideas.

nitasu987 · Jul 5, 2013

Oh, and if you wanted more details about ninja warrior, it'd be basically an obstacle course :D

An arcade game = A type of game genre that is a fast-paced action game (for PC or console), requiring hand-eye coordination skill to play. Pinball games for the PC would be considered an arcade game.

Pikmon2 · Jul 7, 2013

Still open for ideas! Any idea will be added :)

zezmi · Jul 8, 2013

How about a plane fighting game? Sort of like galaga but different levels, and planes you can get.

I'm still in a decision phase kinda, but when I do decide, don't worry if yours(anyone who suggested anything) wasn't picked! There's a reason I have them all listed

That's fine if mine aren't picked, other ideas are better then mine!

nope.avi · Jul 19, 2013

You could also go for the Shoot 'Em Up or Bullet Hell style, in which you play as a flying character on the bottom of the screen, with oncoming enemies from the top screen. You could even add in power-ups that change how the player shoots!

It's similar to Galaga, but the enemies don't retreat back into a Space Invaders formation, but instead keep moving until they go off-screen, usually behind the player.

Ba da da da! Duffie's game idea was chosen to be the Arcade game hopefully finished in August! If you could please PM with some details and stuff you'd like in the game, that'd be nice! For others, continue suggesting ideas :)

I know!
Pong! As simple as that, pong!
Also, isn't there an option in gamemaker to export apps to Android or iOS?
I want pong on mah phone! Please? :3

Edit: damnit, y I no read entire thread?
Okay, what about Breakout? Also awesome.

Also, raxo, there were games before pong. Those old ones made of radar equipment...
