Homebrew Homebrew suggestions

[Halo Titan]

The Micro Channel in the works topic has convinced me to begin building my wad. But please, can you guys post some homebrew suggestions so my team in mexico can begin begin working on devoliping. gracias

 

[DunkrWunkah]

Woah, man. You have a whole team?

In that case, make a new 2d platformer, with lots of levels, and good controls.

 

[Base]

Port a good fps game to Wii. Something good like Counter Strike 1.6.

Or, just do what the guy above said. Make a 2d platformer.

 

[lord0fshred]

Use both of the suggestions above and make a platformer/fps in one game. sorta like how Contra does it, but every other level should be FPS.

 

[Eclipse01]

I would rather see a good RTS rather then an FPS

 

[DunkrWunkah]

Port Doom II.

'Nuff Said.

 

[yoshine]

a in game mp3 player that could be opened from anywhere on the wii
that would be opened in a popup menu with a button combination like 'home' and '-'
that would have basic play, pause, skip, format
with playlists
that could read from either the Sd card or a usb device


That would be amazing

@DunkrWunkah we have wii doom and doom2 is nothing but an addon of sorts for doom (same engine different wad*:
http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Doom

That being said a few ports are probably a good thing, you say you have a team but the kind of reputation a few successful ports will garner is a great add for attracting artists and level designers.

Failing that a sort of unified frontend to emulators is a potentially good idea (it works really well on the xbox and various mame spinoffs gather a great deal of attention despite being little more than frontends).

*for others reading wad is also a file format for doom and nothing to do with the wad used by in wii circles.

Make counter strike!

In all seriousness, it'd be cool if we had an app that installed system menu themes easily, could download them from the internet, works on all wiis.

MAME Emulator, and you will ascend to heavens.

Buena suerte cualquiera sea el proyecto que resulte =)

a mplayer with movie-cover support, at best coverflow... ^^

 

[UranusKiller]

what's the point in having a image to be displayed on every divx ?

 

[vergilite]

i always love a good port like wolfenstein 3D (that was a great game

) i would most like to see a counter strike port though as it is a great Online FPS which i haven't had the pleasure of playing a lot of.

 

[Parablank]

Maybe we should make a theme installer (like the guy above said). Also, there should be a gameplay recorder, this is valid because the Wii is more powerful then Easycap and Dazzle.

I doubt Counter Strike will ever be ported on homebrew when the sourcecode is certainly not available and is still Valve property.

Movie Manager/Player that does cover art (similar to how the USB Loaders do coverart).

Multiple viewing options:
- list view
- list view with one preview pane (for covers)
- cover only view (resizable grid like "Configurable USB Loader" or like "Coverflow")
- play at least AVI, and also if possible MP4, WMV, MKV, and MOV...
- ability to read off of SD/USB
- theme options are always nice (customizable)


I suggest this as most of the pieces are already available in the scene, they just need to be reconstructed together for this particular media. Best media players right now are GeeXBox and MPlayer CE.

GeeXBox Player + Coverflow = Easily the best media player available!

 

[pandora]

I second that!
More spcifically, GeeXBox Player + Hibern's Coverflow (WiiFlow).
That would be amazing.

I would rather see a good RTS rather then an FPS

Port Warcraft 2 (tides of darkness & beyond the dark portal (?) to the wii!
