A Game Design
I've been thinking a lot about my game design project. It's actually a game I'd like to do one day. We're allowed to use any existing IP we want, and I'm thinking of doing a game based around the BattleTech universe.
I'd like to offer lots of freedom for the player, and a chance to fight either side of the war - I'd set it around the time of the Clan invasion, allowing a Clan warrior to earn an honourable bloodname, and Inner Sphere warriors the chance to work up the ranks and beat back the invaders. I'm debating allowing the user to switch between FPS and moderate level RTS modes depending on the battle situation.
The ideas are still fairly early at the moment, I'm just mapping out the options and the first few missions. I'll probably start a separate web site to publish the ideas on when they get somewhere. If anyone is a fan of BattleTech, or has some thoughts about how to make a game GOOD, I'd love to hear them.
