Dunno whether or not people actually get these messages or not but I figure I should give it a shot, as of now Sandbox Games has been taking the task of creating and trying to come up with ideas, concepts and such for a new game that has been quite a literal dream of mine to work on. The details are as follows:
So as I was sleeping, I had this dream that I was in a ship. The crew was missing, the place was practically abandoned save myself and three others, strange thing is I wasn't human I was a small UFO shaped robot (Kinda like the ones in Batteries not Included or Flubber) named L-173 aka Lite my mission? Apparently to lead three Hazmat suit clad humans through this ship to find and eliminate "The Creep" a semi-formless amoeba-like creature that slowly spreads and consumes life in an affected area infecting and mutating them. What does this have to do with games, you may be thinking? Well the kicker is this dream was all presented to me in the form of an FPS Four Player Horror Survival (I do apologize for this Evolve) asymmetrical shooter:
The player playing as The Creep to start the infection and through various upgrades and such spread the infection and create different means of infection like spores etc and depending on what was infected would create these strange looking creatures (Haven't flushed out all the details as I literally woke up and rushed to the computer) though the infection spreads menacingly and sort of slowly this creature can move rather quickly so large areas get infected at a time. The Creep player has a multitude of abilities to throw off the hunters by throwing out disorienting sounds and even a decoy the point of this game isn't to kill but to infect so this will not be used to deal damage to the hunters like the wraith would.
Three of the for lack of better word "Hunter" players will be playing humans who are equipped with specialized UV Bullet shooting Weapons though they will not simply be at that as there will be three different classes each with their own ability (More detail on this later) an obvious Medic to give the team healing, a Demoman to slow the progression of The Creep with UV Grenades and deal heavy damage to it with his Shotgun and finally a Chem-Scientist who deals DOTS and locks down halls and such with UV Gas Bombs. (That one is still kinda foggy)
The fourth and final character is L-173 aka Lite an entirely passive character who (since she's a robot) can't be infected and has no offensive capabilities as it would weigh her down but is equipped with a (In what I can only assume is some kind of homage to Cabot) UV Dusting agent that sticks to any and all Creep infected in the area for a short time.
Honestly I want to make this a game, there is a lot to work on and such but some input and stuff would be amazing, that and knowing people who COULD actually help with designs and such would be epic as hell. So throw in that input throw out those ideas and such even go as far as drawing what things should look like!
