I have an idea of a DCU fighting game. It will have all the top DC martial artists Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Black Canary...No Kryptonians, No Speedsters, No Power Rings, just fighters.
Video game ideas are a dime a dozen. A big game company like EA isn't going to hire you for suggesting an advanced AI system, or even story ideas. You need to bring something physical to the developement process such as programming, animation, 3D modeling, etc. I'm an independant developer myself, and, no offense; but I wouldn't hire someone that couldn't bring anything else to the team than ideas that I could think of on my own, or find searching Google.
@JamesKravenwolf those people who are hired to bring ideas or concepts into a game company are called designers and can and ARE very much needed in a company. its not all about implementation
---if you dont have the idea you dont have anything to implement!
@Potar4y Not entirely accurate. The people who are hired to work with concepts are ARTISTS who produce conceptual art or renders to visualize the ideas for the project. The development team (the 3D artists, programmers, and etc) are typically the ones who work together on the game storyline before production. Not a seperate team of "idea thinkers".
And it's actually against the law for a game development company to publicly accept ideas from someone outside of the affiliated project...
There are many different parts to game design. Programming, Artwork, Music, Story, Animation, Gameplay Mechanics, and more. Figure out what part you want to focus on. If it's programming then you best get a specific degree or at least take some classes or get certified in the type of coding you want to do.
Don't give up on your game ideas if you have the desire and determination to stick through all the time and effort involved. Need to refine this idea. See examples of game design docs.
In my opinion the NPCs can be scripted and still look real. The point in them is that they act accordingly to their environment. Much like in Arx Fatalis in that the blacksmith (for exemple) is constantly working in his swords instead of standing still behind a counter like most of the NPCs in Oblivion. Of course that this blacksmith could do diferent things now and then, but still it proves that it doesn't take much to make a world seem alive.
One... I wouldn't mention anything about A.I... thats a programmers job. I understand your though on it... But you're only pitching an idea... and until you actually develop the program that you're talking about... nobody is going to take you serious. Your idea has been though of before.
so if I were you... I'd stick with story and character design. Find a friend that can draw good, and make storyboards. Also write out a story, because even the most basic games have stories behind it.
@Shimmer311 Actually, in a game pitch the game play is what is most important. Stories are obviously in most games, but they arnt needed for a game to be a massive success. Postal, for example. It had a very short story line (Guy hates his job, goes on a rampage) but because the game play was unique (Sandbox slaughter fest) people bought it. This shows that story isnt everything. Games are for game play, stories are important in games, but not needed.
@Blitfast Im aware that programming and 3D modeling and such are hard, but i was simply stating that with out the idea, the progarmmers would have nothing to program, the 3D modelers would have nothing to model and so on.
@Urchino1337 Ideas are a dime a dozen, developers do not hire people with ideas! Like I said, 1% of the work is coming up with an idea (easy.... I have at least 100 million ideas).
You do realize that by doing your pitch this way even if a video game company did see and like it than they would have no obligation to include you and could easily steal your idea.
7 days in a week . . 24 hour days . . . . i need someone to give life to my village towns people . . . they must all have a WEEKLY SCHEDULE . . so it feels new everytime you play it, and so you can meet certain peeps in certain times and locations for special missions . . . . like progarammed bots we humans repeat the same movements in a 24/7 manner . . . i need sumtin like that for my video game charctrs souL
i have a solid story line and weapons for the game idea i have been trying to sell i made a whole book of drawings but nothing is on the computer yet any ideas
A fighting game featuring exotic fighting animals and humans. Including a Short Faced Bear thats 11 feet tall, standing. A Dire Wolf thats 6 feet tall. American Lion thats 8 feet tall. Siberian Tiger thats 10 feet tall. And others like a champion fighter guy thats 7'2''. Also has unlockable characters like the Liger, Bigfoot, Or a Werewolf. Like Mortal Kombat minus the exaggeration in gravity and goofiness. Yet human fighters are very athletic and can kick a standing polar bear in the head.
This sounds like it is very interesting. So your idea in essence is to create a world in which AIs will live actual lives. They will have routines, jobs, homes, familys, and maybe some will be lawyers, some will be thieves, right? You want to create a world that is more realistic, not a world where you command someone to do something and they just do it. It sounds like you are an excellent thinker and I'm sure that someone will buy ur idea.
Eventhough Fallout 2 was an awesome game, it had a way more simple A.I. I guess an random seed was part of it too. A good example for factions would be Oblivion.
Not to offense you, but that again is also already included in nearly all games. It's called Idle ;) And you're wrong with "The NPC won't be considered". If the Entity has been created, even if its idling, it is taking memory space and process power. It can't be ignored since all the code is being read.
Also every MMO works like this; The Map is divided into little segments or a range, it will tell the server where you stand and the server sends the packets to spawn the monsters.
Uhm, may I ask if you even code any high level languange? Because a game's A.I is working like this since pc games existed. Your ideas are too vague and not really worked out, write some pseudo code that is logical. But the biggest Flaw in this is idea is that a normal PC only can run one routine at a time, it means everything has to calculated at once. Not even a Quadcore could support this.
What you have is not even an idea - just expectations how something should be.
Good Video & Good Idea. Nothing is impossible, only your mind can stop it happening.
I would love to have a game that allows you to make a game. Still i do not mean programming. Just something a child could use & also it could be more advanced for adults. A simple choose & drop. Still with next-gen this could be a lot more advanced then that!
The NPCs will get to smart and take over the mmorpg world. The npcs will mass murder and hold the mmo players hostage, like in the matrix! Soon these NPCs A.I. will learn so much they will try taking over teledine like in terminator 2 in the real world out side of the mmo! This will lead to the apocolipse! You should name the game APOCOLIPSE!
Believe me, minds in the industry are already all over those ideas, sorting out which are feasible with presently available game engines and fiscally safe. But with your idea, remember that a game is not fun as an A.I. simulation. AI should be limited and specifically directed to help the main objective of the game. Without a clear objective, there is no challenge, no fun, only a semi-chaotic simulation. There's really not a lot of room for extreme independent intelligence in games.
INCREDIBLY dangerous thoughts on A.I for in game simulation. Ridiculous. You want to allow the A.I to learn from humans and react to it-Think for a minute of the gravity of what you are suggesting
Wow... that shows almost no comprehension of what goes into game development.
No one pays for ideas either... you need a design document, preliminary sketches and some form of feasibility study on new things (such as your badly explained AI concept :P) to show the game can be done before anywhere would even think of paying money for it.
so you have a highly-advanced simulation of human interaction? why not go to the bar? there's only concept here but no definitive ideas. what makes this game fun?
No problem. Just remember that when you pitch an idea you are asking the studio to: allocated resources to your idea; spend anything from tens of thousands to millions of dollars in developing your idea; reject all in-house ideas and those from established games to take up your idea instead.
Additionally, you have been talking about programming issues that you clearly have no idea of. This isn't a request for you to go off and become a guru programmer, just research what's out there in terms of AI if that is your design focus. The best way to do this is to play a variety of games from a variety of genres. In the games industry a broad knowledge of games is expected - not just MMO or games that sell well in Japan.
I would suggest that you go and research the subject of game design, create a portfolio of various implemetations of your ideas - as well as ideally have a website up showcasing complete work and maybe some work in progress that is in a good state.
The list goes on. Generally, your ideas are unappealing, lack originality and are unrelated to each other. Sorry to be so brutal but you have taken what you personally feel is a good idea and are trying to sell it as a game design. When designers design games they are trying to create ideas that are likely to be enjoyed by games players who are not necessarily themselves.
3. Your ideas are all over the place. I think I heaard you discuss a 'single player element' in the context of an MMO?! Maybe I've missed understood, but if your game(s) have a significant single player element in an MMO world then why bother with the MMO bit?
Dude, you have made so many mistakes on so many levels:
1. You have publically stated your ideas.
2. You were either discussing what is already possible in programming with current techniques available. Even if you have not quite seen the behaviour that you've described we can tweak such behaviours.
There was no concrete game ideas anywhere in that video, only a bunch of fairly random gameplay mechanics that have been down in some form before or in progress (see Peter Molyneux's Fable 2 presentations) but there wasn't a game idea.

I couldn't make out what game(s) you were envisioning anywhere in that video except that one was a MMO. There should have been a one liner of what the game is about right at the beginning of the video, e.g. "MMO with futuristic mercenary elements".
you stupid thatis not goin to get you a job think of somting new that a game company dosent alredy no and thats was not a game idea were is the game and the game company alredy nos this you dope and y is this on you tube anyone can take this idea and once again the game company alredy nos this stuff they dont need you telling them something thay alredy no this was all a wast of time
Why are you telling professional game developers what the level of technology is at the moment? I think they already know! Also why are you posting "Your idea" on Youtube. There is no Copyright law on "an idea" you have to actually create something based on that idea. Wouldn't it be a better idea to create your own game and send it to a game developer. Also you don't actually seem to have an idea for a game, more of a way that the game should behave.
