When going into the game industry, it's a good idea to not focus on just one game. Branch out, into other genres, other stories, etc.
So I bring you a second game that I've been thinking of for just the past week or so. I don't have a title for it or anything yet, and I barely have a story worked out.
I suppose the setting would be an alternate universe Earth... What if the age of steam never ended? What if there was a resource that was like coal, but burned longer, hotter, and (maybe) didn't pollute as much? What if oil was rare, or even nonexistent?
This would make the perfect world for steampunk, where complicated machines and devices are commonplace, and if this coal-like material was extremely abundant, like this world's oil, then the age of steam would last much longer.
Then that would mean steam machinery would get much more complicated. Perhaps, then, by the 30's or 40's, there would be a war... (remember, alternate universe)
(Names are temporary... I mean, "Pyder"? :/ )
( in that last one, one of my friends gave me an idea for a Steam Powered Auto Reloading Crossbow. It just happened to shorten to SPARC, which considering this is steampunk, full of smoke and flames, is pretty freaking cool! )
I'm temporarily calling the coal-like resource hellcoal. One pound of hell coal can burn twice as hot as normal coal, and can last up to four months. How is this possible? ...creative liberties, for now ;D
I also have designs for zeppelins and an APC. So far this is looking like a steampunk Battlefield 2, but it would have a campaign. I think.
yeah, still early ideas....
