Input needed: Flash Game

[Maxlee]

Hello everyone, Maxlee here once again.

I've run into a bit of a pickle!

As you may or may not know, I have a small history in making Flash games. One of these games is still on my website, RoboCop The Labs.

*image delete*

This game started out as a desire to actually play as ED-209, to have ED-209 the main character of a game. Afterwards I added the two failed prototypes to the mix.

Still not really satisfied, behind the scenes I made "sprites" of RoboCop, RoboCain and RoboCable.

Lo and behold, I now got 6 cyborgs to start wrecking havoc.

*image delete*

However, not really happy with RoboCop The Labs, I pondered day and night on how to put these characters to work in another type of game.

I thought about having them simply face eachother in combat, as a Double Dragon kind of game.

*image delete*

However, I fear with 4 characters moving about and continually shooting without end, would make a very hectic and chaotic game.

I thought about some sort of Smash Brothers game, where you move around on a 2D stage, weaken eachother while shooting, and then punch your enemy into oblivion.

*image delete*

The same problem as with RoboCop The Labs showed up: these are clunky heavy cyborgs, and having them jump all over the place, doesn't really suit them.

And therein lies the big problem, all that these guys are good for are walking and shooting.

I need to come up with some type of game, where all you need to do is walk and shoot, yet is clever and fun.

And that's why I post this here, maybe someone of you has any ideas?

Thanks for reading!

Well, well, a name from the past, and came back around just after my absence, Bah! Nice to see ya, Maxlee, been a while.

Anyway, call me warped by mindless video game violence, but maybe you should change the background/environment and make these things into more of a all-out rampage-like game where they break out of OCP and go on all-out destruction in the city. Blow away people and cars, shit like that, kind like Archive's old 'hoax game' idea -

I'm pondering whether or not to add Otomo and perhaps Bone Machine to my Band of Extraordinary Cyborg Gentlemen...

The more d00ds the better, but yeah Otomo is a bit off the wall as a robot ninja with a katana and Bone Machine ... I have to say I never saw him in action, as when I had the only chance to view Prime Directives on telly, the network f00cked up the order of the episodes and ditched the one with Bone Machine in it.

I have to say I think Bone Machine looks kinda ... interesting ... somewhat seems to fit right in ... but I assume he's very goofy? Apparently his catchphrase is "you're boned baby!" so that doesn't forbode well...

So yeah what to do what to do :- P

Yah, most definitely do not include those two! If Bone Machine was never mentioned again, it wouldn't come soon enough!!

I think they would both make decent bosses. I wouldn't mind tearing them to shreds again and again, just as long as I don't have to play as them.
