FAB

Hello.

I want to create a simple game. It can be extended to be something difficult, yet I want my project be simple :-) Here is description of my game. The code name is "FAB".

The structure is simple. You, as a player of a game, are able to control a character on the screen in a 3D space by moving your hands. I'm gonna use a motion capture stage and/or Wii remote control. I want to create something that can be considered as a "fly-as-a-bird simulator".
The 3D environment can be anything from Grand Canyon to Moscow city.

The rules will be simple. You have to fly from one place to another. Depending on the difficulty of the level, there will be obstacle like trees, buildings, and may be planes.

"What can you or cannot do"... That will be great if you can fly and do whatever you want. There will be no weapons, so you cannot kill anybody, but you should be able to land and fly again.

I hope that nobody has created something like this. So it's a kind of unique game. But, it is a simulator...

A character on the screen may be anything. It can be visually a bird, or a human, or a superman.

After the first version, new elements can be added to the game, so it might become an action or strategy.. But for the first version, I want to have a simple simulator of flying.

That's it for now.

Awesome game idea Anton. I like your consideration of objectives but also paired with free flight. In addition i like that you have not limited the personal avatar to only that of a bird, as maybe some people dream to fly as a firefly or like you said superman, perhaps this could become a mechanic of the game?? unlocking new modes of flight as I imagine the world and manuevering of a firefly would be quite different than that of a hawk or a bat?? I dont know just an idea. Obviously the integration of the live motion capture adds an element that i can not recall being done in any sort of flight game before. You should check out "Pilot Wings" for the SNES and later remade for the N64 it was an early flight sim game where you flew as various craft from i think like a parachuter to a hot air balloon. Also if you haven't already read some of "The art of game design." You can borrow my copy if you like, I have already finished it.
