No ideas...

hi,

im using irrlicht allready for a long time but i dont really have a nice idea for a game so i thought maybe you guys could tell me a simple game idea (no TOO simple, i dont wanna make a tetris-game or so) that you personally like or think it would be easy to develop with irrlicht...

greets,
halan

It can take a while to come up with an idea that your excited about doing, and the ideas that your not excited about have a better chance of ending up in the recycle bin.

I always thought the simple creation of a nice world was fun, a good looking skybox, terrain, maybe some natural effects, etc, but you may not find as much joy in it.

If your terribly bored, the world definatly could use a free terrain editor (8-bit for Irrlicht at least ). Not sure what else I could think of besides another general FPS, which the world could use one less of .

well i thought of a game setting similar to the movie Waterworld. its a planet covered completely with water so i could work with a simple collision detectoin (2d) but i dont know how to go on. i mean i dont know what the fun aspects of such a game could be...

edit: also i dont know how to render large water areas in irrlicht (with a good fps)

The way I see it, is that you have to consider game as a game, not as a theatre. Let say you will do cool fighting with NPC entities....... with no presence of a terrain or world. Or you will do an amazing interactive items world, where one can use them, join them, apply them, (RPG).
I dont like RTS so lets leave this out

Make a Waterworld game kind of with pirates. The fun aspects will be ship battles and collecting money and travelling and finding a better ship. Until finally you find the paradise land

I think the water all around would get frustrating even with the best water shader .
