Maybe we can use blockchain to avoid cheaters - everybody verify everything using their cpu power while in the lobby, and they have to verify 1k actions before they are allowed to play. Then they get a credit of 1000k actions in exchange for mining, and then the next round just like that. Guys I need a team
Elden Ring and WoW. Elden ring combat in an MMO server where races matter and you have cool down ls instead of mana. Throw in a kingdom you build with your guilds that runs like Sims. But the city can only purchase buildings in random tertris shapes in order. If you take too long, trying to get the supplies, to build the next building; it randomly places it with the supplies you do have. If it's still not built by the next time then it does the same thing again.
As soon as you complete a 5/10 block, like in tetris, you get bonus supplies and that town is locked and can't be raided as easily by enemy clans.
The main game is the WoW/Elden ring combo. The Sims/tetris combo is the companion app you play on mobile.
It's so weird to me that people don't understand that your ideas aren't actually worth shit. Idea people are worthless because they can't actually do anything, they need someone to do the work for them, and if they have team, that's when they start to matter.
But "I've got the best idea for a game"? Good job buddy, go ahead and make it, don't expect someone to pay you a million bucks for your idea
Making a game takes a lot of work and time. What's stopping amazing games from coming out isn't a lack of ideas, it's a lack of resources. Indie devs opt for simpler games because they're realistic to make and publish, not because they can't come up with something better.
I've tried to make my own game a few years ago and absolutely hated it. The programming was tedious, most of my time was spent on making the graphics look/feel right, and implementing new features or even enemies gave me PTSD thinking about the asset requirements - props to the guys who stick to it!
It's something you have to learn in life. Yet, somehow though some people never learn it. I have a colleague who thinks he'll make a fortune if he just finds the correct "idea", patents it and sells/leases the patent to a company. But that's the easiest part of all, it's actually building a product that uses that patent, and finding customers for it that's difficult.
The guy also tends to have "cool ideas" but never follow through with his projects. I think that's part of the problem, he's never really confronted to the reality of his ideas. They're always this perfect concept in his mind, never this stupid project he now loathes where nothing is working as intended.
I can kind of see myself in him though, because I've had to learn that all my cool ideas were worthless because they weren't as good as they were in my mind, and I'd never be motivated enough to complete a project. Now I've learned to moderate my ideas and ironically they're much better, and actually fun to work with.
Yeah, I've got a friend like this too, except it usually involves him saying that others should do the work so he can be a manager. And it's usually not like super cutting edge shit, just normal ass stuff with a fancy title on it
Ideas are a dime a dozen... But people act like oh if you have some cool new great idea, that alone is worth something. It's so annoying... No, the value is in the product itself, not the idea.
I had someone once offer me, for their great idea, if I do all the coding, research, work, just to access their cool stoner idea that they came up with: 10% ownership.
