Ok, i'm really interested in freerunning/parkour so I have started work on a new game.
It is going to be a text based game, so it will need to be really good if I want it to be succesful, as it will be hard to make sure that it doesn't become repetitive really quickly.
It is going to be really difficult as my freerunning/parkour options will be really limited in a text based game but I think I can make a succesful game based around it.
I had thought about it before but I only really decided on it and started it yesterday, there are no designs on the game yet I have only got a few notes so far.
I was wondering what you guys think should be included in this game, what kind of mini-games, etc... And also any ideas for names for the game as I am currently stuck on names.
QUOTE (NOTES)
Freerunning/Parkour Game
-----Ideas For Name----- Parkour Paradise Parkour Pro Freerunning Fever Forever Freerun Be Parkour (smoofdude) Yamakour (Halle) SimTraceur (Adrian) SimParkour (Adrian)
-----Features----- Manage a group of freerunners Control an individual freerunner Upgrade training premises to improve/train skills Train new skills (takes time) Have battles against the computer Enter freerunning contests Create a character Buy new equipment (tee-shirts etc...) Clicking an image in the Training Premesis brings up a pop-up window to upgrade that area of your premesis Select your starting location (each location is unique and based upon different styles such as climbing, running, jumping) Training premesis can have climbing walls, railings, rooftops, running tracks, balance beams etc... You earn money by performing in the street, winning battles or entering contests. Earn respect and get your own fanbase
-----Minigame Ideas----- Mini Battles (have parkour battles against the computer, there's a time limit for each battle of 60 seconds to show your skills)
18th July 08 Ok, Decided that the name I will be preceding with will be SimParkour, it just seems to stand out a bit more than the others and is still quite simple and is a name that will tell people what the game is about.
Also done about an hour of work earlier, not much but I got quite a bit done, not much actual programming (probably about 50 lines), but I got the basic designs of the start menu and the character design form completed and I am pleased with the outcome (will post screenshots later).
Maybe that video will show to you how good this game could be.
Hamdi is now the executive producer lol, he wanted the job so bad I couldn't turn him down
erm... what else... oh yeh, my aim is to make this game bigger than Chart Wars 3, thats how good I think it will be, optamistic? yep. thats me....
14th August 08 I haven't had much time for the game recently (hence the lack of updates) No point going into details about that anyway...
My focus is back on the game now, got quite a bit of the main game screen done earlier today, I was working on it for several hours, hopefully I will get lots more work done next week as my gf is going on holiday this saturday, so no distractions... I'll try and post some screenshots up sometime next week.

I don't have any idea how one could design parkour (action, simulation or both) game, let alone how it would look like in 2D.
Are you aiming at simulation or action?
Its probably going to be mostly simulation, as I say i'm in very early stages, i have a few ideas but still not enough to start making the actual game, im confident I can make this work though.

OK , I have a plot for your game
You are Jake parkour , one day you wake up in the middle of the street , you have no memory of anything but your name . You have only 5 dollars and a clip of paper .. lol . You see a car moving in , it stops , a girl offers a place to stay . Later on you learn that she's part of a crime gang that uses free running as a way to shoplift and execute robberies .. after a while you discover that you have some talent in free running . later on you learn that you used to teach parkour and learn that its all a plan by the gang

Note : Wrote that in under a minute .. lol
wow, you had a good idea, and wasted it all in 60 secs... not bad the idea, but you know you said us the plot, don't you?
anyway UB you asked for minigames idea, what kind of minigames? related to freerunning (the best) or completely different too (kinda like jacks or better, memory... a la Bestseller)?

Oh , Forgot about that lol , I know if he decides to use my plot he's gonna change the ending you know lol . I think the minigames would be about the parkour (Free Running) part as in the how you play of the mini game determines the result of the run .
Simparkour, Freerunning/Parkour game
