Your Dream Game Idea.

[Fuzzy Skinner]

Ever thought of an idea for a game that would be awesome if implemented right? Unfortunately not all of have the education, resources and skill sets to make video games, but it doesn't stop us from dreaming.

My idea-
If such a thing exists and worked out let me know, but far as I know it doesn't, at least not quite.


A sandbox MMO of sorts, totally player run. Death would have a huge penalty (or rather, surviving would have rewards) and PVP would always be active. The servers would normally "reset" (but not peoples toons) after a game ended. The basic concept would be that at the start of a "server session" players would have absolute minimum resources available it would be living in a stone age setting. Over time from bashing rocks together, you would learn to make a spear, axe...etc.

Some pve would be involved with monsters and animals, but over time players could harvest them for resources and even tame them. The game would slowly open up during a session allowing players to get more advanced technology/magic or whatever advancing societies. Everything could be looted, nothing would be safe (invent a good safe for your stuff or something if you can).

It would be like Civilization except you play the part of a single individual. There would be a "authority" system in place where players would get bonuses depending on how many followers they have, or how powerful of a leader they have thus creating territory boundaries to form tribes and eventually nations.
You would also have to watch hunger and thirst levels, and also a stamina system that required resources and/or time to recover (such as after building a house, mining for metals, swimming across a river...etc). It would also be cool if the games map would be randomly generated with each session so to keep things interesting as well as allow for a larger than average game world.

Anyway, that's the basic idea and I realize it's complex and with current technology a bit unrealistic. But that's the basic outline of what I think would be a cool game. There would have to be just enough restrictions in place to keep from exploiting things and the penalty for death would hopefully keep people from throwing themselves into danger unnecessarily as well as other teaming up to take out any trouble makers.
It would be a bit of combination of mine craft, the sims, civilization and a fantasy MMO(although over time the setting would change as players unlock more technology/magic).
