So Iv been wondering what should I do next. I have done card games, hero arenas, driving games and AoS...and I think I should start another project. Project Goku is well on its way but I feel like working with something else for a while...
The idea of being a God kinda interests me, but I doubt black&white style gameplay really fits sc2 universe since it should be multiplayer map too. Making an rpg is not an option since it takes too long to make for a one person....
I worked with combo arena 2 for a while, but I got kinda bored of it. Its really hard to get new ideas :(. Maybe Ill do somekind of vampire survival map since vampires are cool...
I like the idea of B&W remake, but it will be probably hard as hell to do something like that. Player bound propagation, manipulating trees, tossing :P Fortunately there is a simple way to cast a ray from cursor to terrain ;) So remaking "hand of hod" would be only tricky, not impossible :) Look at "From Dust". Terrain manipulation can be done in StarCraft II (don't know about performance), but we have only one heightmap, so trying to remake water needs very clever workaround (and i know nothing about possibilities of that :P).
I think doing a Golem Wars remake of the sc1 map(s), if you guys ever played those, would be pretty neat. Unfortunately I've got too many other projects on my plate to do that in the forseeable future.
I think i will start working with my god thingy today. If it doesnt work out at all I might not even post results (If I get any)....I would really need random map generator but maybe I can do that myself...dunno how yet :(
Make a sonic game, wait that would fail due to lag on bnet. Make a Monster Hunter style game where depending on parts hit on the enemy, if they get broken, you get different loot. It is actually quite a deep game.
I actually mentioned monster hunter for two reasons.
1)I recently got that cheap ripoff capcom put on the app store for iOS.
2)I remember seeing that thread but wondered what happened to it.
Did you ever finish it or was the test on EU the last work you did on it? If the project is dead could you make it open source? I've noticed a lot of amazing dead projects who've had great work but it's not made open source once the project is dead. It's like having a carrot dangled in front of your face but you can never get it. Kind of like that amazing FFT game that looked like it was turning out to be great and is now dead.
It was released as unlocked map for a while. I took it away though since im using some of the resources from that map in my current project. So you gotta take it while you can :D...I think you can test the map on bnet though (2 bosses and the systems).
Actually making a spaceship game is kinda interesting idea. People have went with AoS style, but what if there was spaceship defence or arena? spaceships could have some really cool weapons and warp in and stuff :D...Im not sure if it would be unique enough, but atleast its something to consider.
edit*
been playing around with different stuff now and I got something interesting. Ill try to keep it as a secret till mapnigh :D...should keep me busy for couple of days atleast.

Otherwise good idea, but not meant to be made in sc2. Im not going to do anything that requires wasd movement :/

You could try something that hasn't been done before.
@acidragoon: Go
...riiight....and what am I doing in this thread?
I doubt my god game will have any decent multiplayer gameplay, but while I have nothing better to do Ill do something....
Make a swat aftermath remake for SC2 just like to popular map from WC3.
