With a world like Ben 10's MMO system can work really well. I had an idea of a villain called Animo Prime, an alternative reality mad scientist that fell into event horizon like Paradox because of a fight he made with his universes Ben 10. He goes through madness but doesn't forget what he is. He acknowledges he is "an" Animo and gains an understanding of the multiverse. Watches himself getting beaten by a 10 year old boy with a fancy godly weapon over and over. In the end, he gets spewed out from a similar rift. And falls on a rogue planet with rich resources in a random reality. He had one goal. Revenge

[@jetstreamjackie3437]

I like most of this idea! The thing about Alien X being a choice at max level in an MMO seems kind of bad, though. If a player has gone through *that* much gameplay to reach max level, I’d say just give them Alien X as a reward, no strings attached. Locking them into Alien X runs the risk of cheapening the experience if they’re stuck as him and the form doesn’t turn out to be as cool as you designed. So many people get choice paralysis at the beginnings of games, so putting such a monumental choice at the *very* end seems like really cruel design.

I agree. Maybe you could make it like this: You have Bellicus and Serena when you transform and they will only let you have full control at randomised times.

[@thegoblin4948]

Another cool idea would be the option to turn into the feral transformations of the nemetrix, but in exchange, your base human form becomes more animalistic, limiting your ability to use items or plumber weapons.

[@fishyfishyfishy500akabs8]

@@crazyspider9465 From a gameplay perspective I imagine the damage yourself thing wouldn't be very fun. I would instead handle it so that the nemetrix is either limited to a "companion" (that is essentially a cool pet you have) you might be able to get and only use as a very occasional "summon" type attack to attack a specific enemy or crowds of enemies. And that the Nemetrix aliens come with some downsides like basically auto attacking enemies with your basic move when they get too close (even if the enemy is say covered in spikes and would damage you if you did so), limiting your ability to talk to NPCs while in Nemetrix form, and perhaps even having an "adrenaline" state or something like that on low health which lets you move faster and fight harder for a bit but make you quite exhausted afterwards, moving a bit slower and only able to use basic attacks.

Instead of you getting the awesome transformations your pet does, and you can ride on certain forms. You can still attack as a human, but it’s weaker than anything your pet can do, incentivizing you to use the pet more.

[@dhirenwirasinha6737]

instead of it making your base form worse off, it could just glitch out more than its omnitrix counterpart. Think about it this way; if you choose the nemetrix you would have access to stronger aliens than the base omnitrix has in its arsenal, on top of this it would give you a leg up in certain aspects of both pvp and pve combat. The downside however, would be that the nemetrix has significantly more glitches than the regular omnitrix, mabye ones that are unrepairable. There could also be custom glitches for the device such as loosing controll of your current alien. This would happen through remaining in an alien form for too long rather than being timed out, causing you to do more damage and attack faster, however certain moves/ combos are dissabled during this state and you take more damage that cannot be healed until the state wears off. These glitches would result in the nemetrix over all being harder to use for the average player, requiring a more methodical playstyle and balancing act. Taking it to the extreme it could also unlock a "bad ending" of the game, although what exactly that "bad ending" would be im not so sure. mabye asmuth deems you unworthy of his help and declares you an enemy?

I'd remove or fine tune the celestialsapien option. because that always winds up being either super OP or laughably UP, I'd make alien x either a once per day thing or a finishing move you get from reaching max level. but I liked the gamble with the omnitrix glitching. you can either tamper like crazy and deal with the consequences or play through the game normally

Personally I wouldn't make him usable in combat at all, I would make it give you access to a map editor mode or "creative mode" where you become alien x to as a cool in-universe explanation for how you are map editing.

[@FraserSouris]

From a development perspective, this seems mostly doable if extremely difficult (like all MMOs). Nothing said here is something that MMOs haven't tried in some way. The only thing I feel may be a bad idea is Alien X being a choice at max level. With that being said, there are quite a few challenges for the designers to overcome: -1- designing all the aliens: If the player is to be given a random set of 10 aliens based on classes/roles, then there needs to be multiple aliens per class and enough aliens upfront for the set of 10 each player would get to feel distinct from others. Other MMOs may only have around 10 classes at the beginning but this game would require more than that. And if this is an action MMO upfront then that's going to be a lot of work to make those Aliens have their own unique gameplay and combos. You then can't really have a game like the Reboot game and instead something closer to Cosmic Destruction to accommodate so many different kinds of aliens per level. -2- Making the OC viable. Since the OC has a regular Omnitrix that can time out, you need to make them viable as well. Perhaps they have weapons and a hoverboard they can use for the few minutes they can't use an alien. Care needs to be taken to balance this part so it's never the best option but always good enough if you can't go Alien A more pressing issue would be its financial viability: First is the audience and demographic. Ben 10 is primarily a kids show and most of its audience are kids. It's success is predicated on toys and merch. Generally speaking kids aren't a good demographic for an MMO these days since they aren't keen or able to drop money frequently or lot on in-game content or have the time to dedicate to a single game for very long compared to teenagers and adults. Games like Club Penguin, despite their popularity, couldn't stay alive for long. And those had very simple 2D graphics. This game would likely be full 3D and way more expensive to develop and maintain. Most online games with a kid audience that succeed like Fortnite do so because they also attract audiences beyond kids. Fortnite has crossovers with God of War and Halo and John Wick, more adult oriented franchises, as well as a competitive PVP scene and a Twitch Scene. Pokemon also has the latter. This Ben 10 game would have a harder time with that.

[@fishyfishyfishy500akabs8]

I imagine that it would be fine if you just began with a "starter" alien or something else that starts off fairly basic, meant to allow the player to understand the game. For example Heatblast, Swampfire, Fourarms, Humongosaur, etc. might be branded as starter aliens, whose abilities are mostly just about shooting basic projectiles, at first, with the more complicated stuff coming after. Just something basic but still interesting as the first thing a new player sees. But then the player will *very quickly* unlock more in the early game, perhaps by say level 10 the player should have about 5+ aliens.

[@FraserSouris]

@@fishyfishyfishy500akabs8 I think that doesn't really address the development issue tho. Like, you still need to make enough starter aliens for a new playthrough to feel different. Plus, people would complain that it's not "Ben 10" if there aren't 10+ aliens. Plus you still have to make those 10+ aliens close to release.

[@fishyfishyfishy500akabs8]

@@FraserSouris Honestly though I imagine if anything the game might be able to release in "waves" where we get something like Classic series aliens first, then building onwards Partly so that the devs don't go insane and partly so that the game can actually come out.

[@FraserSouris]

@@k-techpl7222 The issue is that compared to other big franchises that were initially aimed at kids, like Harry Potter, Marvel, Spongebob etc. Ben 10 has not had that sustained popularity from across the age spectrum as these other franchises. Like, there are both kids and adults buying Spongebob, Marvel and Harry Potter merchandise quite frequently. Like, even Spongebob's "Battle for Bikini Bottom" remake was quite successful. Most kids games like that are generally forgotten about. With Ben 10, even if that average Ben 10 fan is 15+ in age, those average fans aren't buying the merch that typically sustains these franchises. Like, Omniverse got cancelled because of poor toy sales. Which is why the Reboot focuses on a younger audience. All this makes a Ben 10 MMO a very risky gamble. Because if you can't even guarantee older folk will buy your toys, how can you guarantee they will stick around and support your game?

@@FraserSouris Thanks for a reasonable responce. I concede.

[@gammalolman580]

Something to point out: mutations, fusions and ultimate forms are all possible candidates for transformations (if you make those omnitrixes lack the failsafe that the prime one has), so you could use those as well, which could be nice for talking about the story of every ben 10 thing. Alien X being a "lock you into the transformation" thing risks making the progress you did useless, because you lack any incentive to keep going in that case, as you lack any real progression at that point. Maybe Alien X could be a "base form" unlocking stronger abilities in your base form and reducing limits of your omnitrix and gear. That way you can still enjoy the previous part of the game without losing all of your previous things

[@rikajougasaki3296]

I don't see Fusions being a thing unless they're pre-prepared/premade, which would be neat.

[@gammalolman580]

@@rikajougasaki3296 ye, it's what I meant. A fusion would be biologically separate enough from the originals to be its own transformation. As such, if the failsafe normally ignoring altered or mutated DNA is not put in place of the omnitrix, then you could realistically have a fusion as its own transformation.

[@KEEPTALKIN8215]

The omnitrix has a skill tree where when you upgrade it you have a choice between fusion or ultimates.

[@mingaubr1417]

It would be cool if we could change the colors of our aliens, like the eyes and outfit for most and some get special options like changing the color of goop and bloxx body

I think it would be cool if you could individually customize every alien you had, and also be able to switch your omnitrix between the recalibrated omnitrix, the ultimatrix (no ultimates given) or the official omnitrix.

[@longtomax2981]

The omnitrix color does that

[@MatsuyoRific]

It would be so extra, but I would love it if there was a way to customize your aliens. Like, there wouldn't have to be so many options, but you could have a few different design options for their clothes(and hair for Aliens that would have hair), and then you can select the colors yourself. This would help to set the aliens apart from each other in Multiplayer.

[@breestringham1063]

I think it'd be so cool to map the alien customization to the player customization. When you set one species parameters, you set the others. You can switch between species in the editor, but can't independently change one without changing the others.. I feel this still gives the player's unique aliens without having to customize 50+ characters. It would be something that few games let you do.

[@MatsuyoRific]

@@breestringham1063 Or they could do both. They could have it set so that it automatically customizes the aliens based on your human design, but then if you don't like how one of the aliens looks, you would have the option to edit that one specific alien. I mean, if you designed your human with hot pink hair, that wouldn't really look good on a red Tetramand. Sort of like how in The Sims 4, when you set your Sim's hairstyle for their everyday outfit, they automatically get the same hair for all outfits, but if you want them to have a different hairstyle for their formal outfit, you can change that without changing the hair for the other outfits.

[@blakethebeast3174]

Customizing aliens' appearance could start with how you customize the colors of your Omnitrix like we see with the second Gwen 10 and Ben 23 in Omniverse with the Omnicore color replacing what was green on Ben Prime's aliens and the uniforms and clothing borrowing from the secondary colors of the Omnitrix itself. I would like to variant skins and clothing styles as well, ex. Blitzerwolf having the smooth look of Classic or the furrier Omniverse version while XLR8 could have different suits based on its various series incarnation. If the aliens have their own levels as well, then why not including a Max Level so you can show off your love for that alien as a sort of prestige gear? For aliens that don't wear clothes in any incarnation like Mechamorphs or Swampfire's species, they could have a variant skin instead like Swampfire's Omniverse upgraded look or a Malware-style body. Minor details like hairstyles and other body parts could also be customized so even a team made up of the same aliens would still be distinct from each other.

[@virtueofdragonsdreamer7783]

One thing I’ve always wanted to have in a Ben 10 game is the ability to create our own aliens. With your concept in mind, I think it could work as a sort of customization that’s upgradable. Definitely not when the game would first come out, but maybe as a wave of new life once content slows. Once the devs get their fortitude or once everyone’s already playing and would support something like this. You wouldn’t have full reign at the start of course. At first it would be like those old Alien Creation Chamber toys. Just slapping pieces of pre-existing aliens together, and not even being able to change their color schemes. Not only that, the more different pieces you throw on this alien you’re making (say, every piece is from a different alien), the weaker the alien is. You’ll take more damage, and your abilities will be laughable. After a bit of upgrading though, it’ll slowly become cooler and cooler. You’ll be able to do like changing the colors of certain pieces, mixing the traits of aliens pieces, or pieces that don’t belong to any alien in particular. You’ll be able to make something pretty cool. I said before you’d start off making stuff comparable to the Alien Creation Chambers. Well an end game, fully maxed out version of alien creation would be able to make stuff like Kevin 11,000. The thing is though, how you upgrade creating aliens or just how much you’ll need to upgrade to get to that end point will take a lot of time.

[@ML1399TheyStoleMyName]

[@ggboi2071]

the whole thing sounds sooo fun and i really want to see it happen although when you unlock alien x you should just keep him in the omnitrix but have other drawbacks like bigger recharge modes and less time in active mode and such. also i like the idea of mistransforming but i want it to be much less common the more you upgrade your omnitrix. lastly i want all the aliens you can transform into to be known not any completely new one but ones we have already seen in the showmaybe as allies or enemies. same goes for npcs, enemies and enviroments

[@Kalion-mi1zc]

A bit late to this but here are some of my refinements, instead of the playlists being fully random, each alien is given a sort of class (not an actual class but something the game can use) so things like strong, flyer, fast e.c.t and makes sure those classes are randomised, locking out more powerful transformations. I feel you replace the hard countdown with an energy meter, and after a few levels you unlock a quick swap, giving you limited alien swaps (up to 3 before master control) at the cost of power & a higher malfunction chance. For aliens you can easily bound them to the keys 1-0, and then possibly make another upgrade be the ability for a few more playlists to switch between. Nearer the end of the game you unlock the official omnitrix, giving 0 malfunctions as well as full customisation options, with master control being one long, specific & randomised code given at a higher level. Finally I have no idea how to balance Alien X, I would keep them for final level, but keep them as a transformation. They can fly, are invincible, and have incredibly high stats & powerful attacks. A way to balance this is the highest alien specific level, as well as only being able to get power by doing quests for your voices (what you choose during conversations changes the difficulty of the quest) giving you limited power & limited time as them. It starts out small, but the last level gives you full control, so at the end you would wield a full Alien X at any time you want.

[@RealCoolstriker64]

For the story, what I would do is have it divided into “adventures” “side adventures” and “hero work.” Hero Work would be small tasks that most games call generic side quests. They’d range from: “my cat’s stuck in a tree” to stopping various crimes. Adventures would be main story missions. They would follow the plot of the show. But since this is an alternate universe, that doesn’t mean events have to happen the same. Hence: “side adventures.” These mini missions would sometimes have you do things that would alter the flow of events. For example: When you get to just before the adventure where Dr. Animo is introduced, there would be a side adventure at the place where the award he’s after is being given. During the course of this side adventure, you would (probably by accident) disrupt the news crew covering the event. Since the crew doesn’t cover the event, the news story that spurs Dr. Animo into action *doesn’t.* So now he will show up at a later point in the game. But sense he put more time into perfecting his tech, he’ll now have a different suit (with different abilities) than the one he originally went with. This won’t be a branching storyline thing, as that’s way too complicated. It just shuffled the order around and changes the quest ever so slightly. So b When animo does finally show up, his adventure will play out largely the same with all the same cutscenes and dialogue. Just later, and he’ll be a bit stronger to compensate for his late arrival. This way, fans who want their own unique adventure can have that, while fans who want to play through the show can have that too.

[@krishnakapadia146]

The game would really be interesting like many different levels could explore the homeworld of other aliens And maybe the main character has to go to different planets and do tasks

[@Master_E444]

This feels like a really fleshed out concept, I love it! A lot of it would absolutely translate well, some would need tweaking, but some of my favorite things would be the Randomized Starting Playlist, the Multiverse Multi-Player, and the Customizable Omnitrix/Playing as your own Omnitrix Wielder rather then a version of Ben. I imagine the starting playlist being randomized would have some preset rules to it. Each of the slots would have a theme/role to them to ensure the player gets all they need from a well rounded roster rather then getting 10 aliens with only a couple differences. Like there's 100 potential aliens in the starting pool, divided into ten groups of each role. Here's just a couple examples: Strength Alien: of course meant to be the simpler ones to play, meant to have high HP and physical power. Probably would be good for strength puzzles or early game and include fan favorites like Rath, Four Arms, and Humungousaur as well as some later additions like Armadrillo Flight Aliens: Good for hit and run strategies and for mobility over the levels but they have rather low defenses outside a couple of them. Could be fun to use against each other in PVP dogfight style. Four good examples would be Stinkfly, Jetray, Terraspin, and Astrodactyl. Blaster Aliens: The best at ranged damage dealing and problem some of the most unusual abilities but fun to use. May have specific weaknesses to counter them you need to be aware of. Obvious examples are Heatblast, Chromastone, NRG, and Feedback. Agility/Speed Aliens: Probably harder to use but faster then normal or capable of unique movement options for either avoid combat or ambushing suddenly from an unexpected position. Some examples would be XLR8, Spidermonkey, Chamalien, and Snare-Oh. And for the last one I'll list here, Water Aliens: Most situational and niche but they have their use and can be viable choices. Can even work like flying Aliens while underwater. Good choices are Ripjaws, Waterhazard, Overflow, and AmpPhibian. Some of them would likely double up though maybe that can be handled some way, I dunno As for Aliens like Clockwork, Waybig, Atomix, and Alien X, I think maybe those should be related to the story modes. Maybe Waybig is for specific story segments. Atomix could be a unique climactic story segment first before becoming a standard alien. Like Clockwork is unlocked once you start the multiverse story mode, Alien X at the End of it. On that note, I think Alien X as a final reward is cool but I think it should be like other transformations and simply just have every option the other aliens have but simpler and not as developed as those. Maybe some unique game breaking stuff like nullifying one type of damage for awhile or turning everyone to human for a bit. Each of these require their own recharge and are clunky to use though due to your other personalities debating with you Also think this concept could be expanded more if you think there's more potential to it. Some new villains or even variants on canon villains for the different story modes. Possibly some side activities or other little intricacies. Maybe even NPC allies you could recruit for different missions that are giving you trouble like Gwen, Max, Kevin, Rook, etceteras. Sky's the limit really

I think a cooler way to implement alien x in your game would be that you can't use it in combat, but rather it functions as like creative mode it would let you access a map editor of sorts that you would use alien x's power to edit and then you could play in it or upload it for other people to play. I just think that for me any compromise on the combat aspect of alien x would ruin some of the fantasy about him so I think having him be an in-universe explanation for the equivalent of creative mode would fit really well and let you keep it "accurately" powered as it would literally shape the maps you will be editing however you want and would be invulnerable. That's as far as what I have to say on your own game idea. Now I might be in the minority for this but for me a Ben 10 mmo would be really cool if it actually was running congruently to at least some other very similar universe where you get to meet and interact with Ben and your character used more of the smaller power sets introduced that you rarely see games explore, like having anodite powers or being an osmosian or even just a plumber with weapons and stuff, and of course you could pick one of the common alien species as a base race to get some powers from that too. Again might seem boring or wasteful to some but I guess I just find a unique kind of enjoyment in seeing the same world from a less 'high up" perspective

I feel like it would be a case where you start with the prototype ( but get to pick the colour ) and unlock new parts for it to help customize it. Things like a new dials, different wrist locks, alternative designs As for ultimates, maybe make it a reward for a really long and hard quest? For example, when you unlock multiverse mode you get a mission that takes you across planets to gather resources and DNA to create a part that lets certain aliens go ultimate and make it compatible with your Omnitrix

[@silicrone]

I’d like if it was just unlockable skins for the omnitrix but an ultimatrix side quest would be cool it can be permanently have to time out so it’s balanced. Just an idea

[@cdm6962]

I think that would be cool if when you get a certain level you omntrix get recalibrated (you can't choose if he get recalibrated or not, it simple does) and reset the level and you get 10 new aliens that are different of the aliens you get with the prototype, obviously the omnitrix will be much better than before, with more energy and new things. When you get a certain level you will restore the aliens you get before the recalibration of the omnitrix, and you will can choose the customization of the omnitrix being prototype, recalibrated or other things. And it would be cool if you get the ultimatrix and The Omnitrix (Omniverse) with side quests that are much hard. Sorry for being a illiterate I try my best

[@GaymerMajor]

ı think it's a level up process where you start with prototype at level 1 and like at level 25 or smthn u unlock UAF watch and maybe there is a sidequest that gets unlocked at that level with albedo and the ultimatrix and like level 50 is when u get omniverse watch and probobly after unlocking online mode and accessories you would be able to custumize your watch's look even more like the ben 10.000's biomnitrix (only as watch skin probobly) etc.

[@GoldPrince2468]

There should be double typing like in Pokémon. And technically an evolution mechanic. The original 10 aliens are random but you’re not getting the popular ones. Chromastone: Energy/Normal Playing as this alien enough increases the chance of getting Diamondhead or Upgrade. Wildmutt: Physical/Sensory Finding enough collectibles as Wildmutt increases the chance of getting Wildvine or Blitzwolfer.

[@zyro7756]

One thing I would add is a big list of side missions that open up through the game and are based on plots from actual episodes ( albeit slightly tweaked to fit the story of you being a different universe character ). Fro example, a mission based on be afraid of the dark where you have to hunt down 3 of the Halloween aliens and have a fight with a Ghostfreak Quests like these would have the usual reward like currency but you’d also be rewarded with cosmetics like outfits from the episodes, new pieces of lore, transformations ( imagine a mission based on you teaming up with the Galactic enforcers and by the end you get to unlock all 3 as transformations ) and maybe even ways to customize your Omnitrix? The potential with a Ben 10 MMO is seriously huge if given the time, resources and care Personally I’d love the idea of getting a bunch of friends together and making our own Justice League of Omnitrix users as we save the Multiverse

[@aceofspades8474]

A multiversal justice league of omnitrix users sounds so cool both as a small guild of friends in an MMO but also as it’s own tv show or otherwise fleshed out story. Imagine a show about a group of people each with 10 alien transformations that they have access to traveling across the universe/multiverse to handle problems and save people, each member could have their own specialty like one has a bunch of strong aliens while another is more support focused, but it’d be even cooler if they all have a variety of aliens so on any given mission any member could fill a support role or a bruiser role or any other number of things, I would totally watch that.

[@animeshowfan8145]

Some really good ideas here. Tho i think some could use some tweaking. For example id say online shouldnt be something you need to unlock by beating the campgin instead unlock it by beating a tutorial. Let friends play with each other from the start. Also while scanning every alien is cool it would props need so much balancing and wouldnt make the game much money. As scummy as it is games like these live and die by being able to get people to invest more money. Instead id say have new players start with 3 or so aliens from a list of 10 of their choice. And though out the story you unlock more from quests or like you said the store. I like the idea of the watch glitching but over use being the cause sounds to annoying. Instead what if you could add mods to your watch. Maybe from kevin or albedo And each mod adds a bonus or effect you can use while also adding a downside like increasing the chance of a miss transformstion or lowering your alien time

[@aceofspades8474]

Glitches being caused by moding your omnitrix is a cool idea, it gives you a lot more control over the glitching and the option to avoid certain types of glitches or even all glitches completely but still insensitivities you to give your omnitrix a change to glitch in exchange for positive bonuses. It also makes sense logically, as messing around with your omnitrix to try and improve it can result in unintended side effects.

[@blakethebeast3174]

The Celestialsapien option might work better as an "either/or" deal where you can either have your regular aliens or Alien and you're required to go back to the Forge of Creation to switch this out, maybe eventually gaining the option to do it anywhere after a certain amount of Alien X progression, but with a cooldown of let's say about a half hour (thinking of the PVE queue cooldowns in existing MMOs so you can't spam them, though of course there would be a IRL currency that lets you change to Alien X at any time.) The idea of a permanent Alien X lock would be a little annoying even with multiple player characters on an account because it would take away all the work you put into your other aliens, it's the only part of the video I couldn't get behind, but the rest of it was great. Also, since the PC gets the Omnitrix instead of Ben in their universe, would this be a timeline like No Watch Ben's where he and Gwen remained normal teenagers and the PC got to be mentored by Max? How would Kevin develop as a villain, or would he even be one at all? If Charmcaster isn't fixated on Gwen, maybe the Player Character is her rival and she can be recruited as a reformed villain/Romance Option? Evil Player Character as in the online mode as a recurring boss ala the Evil Bens from Omniverse? The alternate universe angle has a lot of potential in itself, just like the alternate scenarios in the Dragonball Xenoverse series. I did wonder about vehicles, but then I realized that having a reliable mode of transportation when the Omnitrix doesn't have Master Control would be very useful even if it's just a hoverboard. Rides like the Tennspeed and Time Bikes would make sense for Online Mode, maybe Rook as a vendor? And even though I don't really play PVP much and it's not mentioned, can I just say that PVP in this game with all the different aliens would be INSANE?

@@Blitz_Blazer Yeah, I thought that maybe your character could specialize in magic and/or tech outside of your aliens and you could use weapons and spells while human while waiting for the Omnitrix to recharge early on, also the Specs could act as passive boost as well (thinking about Star Trek Online's specializations in particular.)

[@blakethebeast3174]

@@FraserSouris Like the scooter Ben uses in Power Trip, I actually used it quite a bit before I got XLR8. As for the options I'd like to add a third where the PC is a distant relative of the Tennysons' that goes on the Fated Camping Trip and has enough genetic match to be picked by the Omnitrix instead of Max, that way it could fit the narrative and still allow character customization. Hey, the Tennysons have no problem dating/marrying aliens, they probably have a huge extended family just on Earth.

I have some ideas to add onto this 1. “Hero Names” - You can name your aliens whenever you want and change them any time 2. “WayBig Tournament” - You can play as a To’kustar but only in this tournament, it’s not a “VIP” thing, it’s only for fun and anyone can join, you can fight your friends with your own customized WayBig 3. “Hoverboards” - I just think hoverboards would be cool

[@the_vanish]

I don't know why, but this gives me an idea for a spin-off series for Ben 10. Imagine in the future of the Ben 10 universe, Ben 10K's Era, the popularity of the Omnitrix is at its peak. A company releases a VRMMO game that lets people fight off evil monsters and beat bad guys as their favorite Ben 10 alien. All of the favorites are there, Heatblast, Fourarms, Humungousaur, but there is one selection that no one picks, regular old human (or Plumber). Someone plays the game and chooses it and tries his best to level up, but doesn't get far. Until, a new quest shows up that many people try to beat but can't. They form strong parties, but no matter how hard they try, they cannot beat it. So the Plumber player tries it and by some odd chance wins and gets the ultimate prize. The in-game version of the Omnitrix. I feel like he would be going through the rounds of concealing his identity and trying to balance his in-game life with his real world life in the future timeline. Then at the end it would be revealed that the entire game was posed by Ben 10K himself to find a suitable successor, since his son Ken is off the list. (sorry about this big ol' rant, i just want to get my idea out there)

[@burner555]

>no one picks, regular old human There are millions of powerless aliens in the watch, and who would choose Walkatrout?

[@daka.notatp]

Hey, I've been searching out game design for about 4 years and i really liked this idea, so here is my critique, hope someone reads, lol: -Many alien species on Ben 10 don't have enought powers/story/relevance to be playable or enyoable, so there would be an inconsistence of gameplay, because you could scan some aliens but not others, such as secondary characters that seem to have no abbilities. The twek that could be made and would be very expensive is redisigning or creating non-cannon game-exclusive aliens. With that idea creating generic enemies would be really hard because you would have to: create a model to the enemy and to the playable alien itself, if that alien doesn't exist in the cannon, the creative team has to design powers and make sure that both they fit in the beat them up gameplay and they aren't broken (so actual creative posibilities are very reduced), and finally match how the player use the alien and how the enemy actually acts, because it would be a very hard game if the enemies have the exact same moveset than players, almost all of the aliens ben has on the series could be a boss fight each one. -Character customization in Ben 10 could be a little tricky, it has a wide range of character designs to choose from (specially if the game is made with omniverse style), not even mentioning not all of them are humans. -To randomize your first aliens is also a tricky one. It results on either basic level desing or basic alien abbilities. The campain mode could not be built around the aliens you have cause they don't know what aliens you have. If the designers want to make a level were you use a very specific abbility of an alien that not other has, like cannonbolt, they can't because they are not sure if all the players would be given cannonbolt, so the level puzzles are limited to general things as "move this rock" or "electrocute this"(and then give every player a strong alien and a electric alien), that if you ask me, is very boring and overseen. Also if you remove all the puzzle on the campain you have the first alien force game (that one that nobody liked). If you decide to make more aliens that have cannonbolt-like abbilities you face the second problem, you have too many characters doing the same thing and its boring. The solution i thoght its that the campain should have fixed unlocks and a metroidvania-like gameplay loop, where you have an open world and you can access places based on the aliens you have unlocked (interesting enough you could access zones before, if you are lucky that you have given the right random alien). Even better, instead of a campain, you could have a series of autoconclusive campain for every group of aliens or specific aliens (like swampfire flourish or big chill's sons), and the big campain is the multiplayer one, so it can get as deep as you want. That way you can make temporarly playable alien x, clockwork or way big (kaiju battle?). Another solution, more simple but more boring is to make the alien exclusive features optional, as combat advantages, and if you have the right alien, you use it and its easier for you, but if you don't, you can still make it throught. -Having 10 aliens available at once its uncorfortable, neither if its number buttons that are hard to press, or an option wheel, you would have to stop to think what are you pressing instead of just playing. I'm sure this is the reason ultimate destruction did what it did, because they had enoght aliens to do it. -You could literally search online or ask to a friend for Alien unlock codes and unlock every alien on the first day. -Is alien level individual or you have a general level? I think making an individual level system would make players to overuse one alien, and the core idea of a ben 10 game would be to diversity aliens and gameplay. But that would limit the customization for every single alien (no more individual upgrades) or make the player think for 15 minutes what upgrades to do for ervery alien, every time they level up. -Are the aliens customizable too? I think they should, because most time you will be transformed. The way i figured out is that the colours you choose for your omnitrix defines also especific colors on your aliens, like the white big chill of ben 23. -Glitching should be a narrative happening, not a gameplay one, it will anoy the player REALLY quick, trust me, unintended actions make a game RNG based. If so, the game can balance this out giving randomly goodies to the player, as temporarly master control or 0 recharge time. And the player should control and see a indicator of when the omnitrix is about to glitch, if not, its unfair. -Rethink the online campain, beating 15 chronosapiens in a LONG amount of time isn't fun, it's farm-y. -5:05 at that point, just make every alien playable -already critiziced by someone else, but that is really boring gameplay wise, as i said, ben 10 fun is transforming in multiple aliens and combining strategies, locking players in one aliens is not a good choise. If alien X is that broken just limit their capacities at normal world and let the players have fun at the forge of creation. Always balance up, not down.

[@thegoblin4948]

Not to sure about the sacrificing the Omnitrix in exchange for Alien X thing... no matter how many perks you give it, you're sacrificing all your progress (as well as a fun, core mechanic of the game) with no option to take it back other than to start over with a new character. Just doesn't seem worth it other than for 100% completion sake Other than that... my god. This would be my dream game, specially if we get original transformations, or even other alien species from the show.

[@Behemoth5455]

They could have some kind of Pokémon like tournament, where you fight other omnitrix users in an arena, and each type of aliens have counters and weaknesses.

[@grimpirate1117]

A way you can put in clockwork is if the omnitrix just glitches if you pick him online. Also i feel like a great story would be having versions of the villains get pulled in form different multiverse were they get their hand on the omnitrix forever Them being taken from a multiversal threat.

[@herowither12354]

It'd be nice if you could customize your aliens' appearances and clothing. That way, you wouldn't look exactly the same as everyone else while transformed. I gotta say, tho, making online only be unlocked after a long single player campaign, it'd be really annoying. If I buy a game with a massive focus on online gameplay, I don't want to be stuck in single player for hours beforehand.

[@gammalolman580]

Color changes would be good enough to avoid things looking too similar. Different clothing that is not something like "a bowtie" or similar would be pretty resource consuming. As for locking multiplayer, i believe that the base story campaign would be relatively short, like an abridged version of the story of the main series, or fighting some kind of foe that leads you to getting access to the multiverse relatively early. That would probably be the best.

It sounds great as a normal RPG game, but for a MMO there are many problems with. Customization is a staple for games these day and that's fine, but there would need to be cool unlockables for Omnitrix types like certain mission with Azmuth or Albedo or Ben10k quest pathways will result with a re-calibrated, Ultimatrix, or Biomnitrix with their own ups and down, only getting a completed Omnitrix after the campaign. There should only be a tutorial quest-line before being able to join Online play, to start you out as a member of the Time War's "Omni-Force". Certain quest or boss battles will allow DNA samples and collect enough will unlock the transformations. Perk system should only be used for the Omnitrix and not the aliens themselves for the skill trees, like a skill for longer energy bar for transforming or a skill that increases ranged attacks and stuff. Transformations would stay on until knocked out of form or timed out from energy bar. There can be a glitching and repairing option, but only after certain area, items, enemies are used, forcing a minigame to fix it. Azmuth giving alien unlocking quest when given a certain material would be great. There should also be a randomized DNA sample collection that you can get from Mini Bosses, and collecting them would give you a random alien or items if you already have it unlocked. For Alien X, It would be dope to collect it after beating Ben himself as Alien X, to prove that you can be a hero that can live up to the legacy he started. Unlocking would allow Alien X to battle secret bosses like Celestial Sapien Aggergor, Master control Omnitrix Vilgax, and other What IF villians that are deemed Doomsday Timelines. Alien X would be weaken in normal play online to make him the cool final unlockable alien. I would also be cool to have an Osmosian and Anodite transformations be added, if you complete questline for Gwen and Kevin.

[@cybergooninja004]

Ideas for side quests (in no particular order) The red the blue and the rat: You meet argit and help him deliver some new guns to the red and blue aliens who are still fighting, this unlocks a new world and if you continue this quest might allow you to create peace on that world for a short time or they'll stop attacking you when you enter their airspace Lost little toy?: You meet one of the high dimensional creatures who have lost a toy for their daughter, they ask you to find it and you find the bredle brothers (forgive my spelling) who have accidentally made it into a weapon, as you fight to try stop it, it can copy any alien you choose giving it new attacks and slowly becoming harder to fight with a single alien (rewards players for switching aliens so they can counter the robot/weapon/toy) Gotta Nul them all: A plumber asks you to defeat enemies around the map and send them back to the null void after they escaped due to a boss which you get to fight Clowning around: The circus freaks are in town and turning everyone into their clown zombie minion things. Beat the circus freaks then defeat zombozo either with a fair fight or a secret Cutscene if you've unlocked any of the scary aliens used Can't think of many so I might edit it and add more later

[@victor-ri2qp]

i will give some ideas i had while watching this video (it will be a biiiiiiit long): Mastery:a cool thing is that instead each alien has a mastery the omnitrix has a mastery level that upgrade all unlocked aliens, new unlocked aliens will have a delay to reach the upgrade level of the alien of like some hours. Quick Change:in the mechanics a great thing to have is that aliens like upgrade, grey-matter and brainstorm can try to hack the omnitrix and the higher the omnitrix level is the higher the chance of successfully hacking and unlocking not the master control but the Quick Changer(from the ken 10 ep where ken with grey-matter removes the timer of the omnitrix)it's basically the master control that Kuro says in the video. Master Control:the master control will be the thing that you will gain by chosing being a trix user instead of a celestial-sapien, the master control is the quick changer but instead you can select some keys of the keyboard or some button combinations to quick change to specific aliens that doens't are in the 4 transformation selection wheel but in the alien storage, and unlocking all the unlockable aliens in the omntrix data that the player dosen't have. Omnitrix Shop:the commercializing alien codes can be something like in the plumber base has a omnitrix shop that have Blukic and Driba for do some updates on your omnitrix, and in the begging of the main campaing you can buy from Xylene like 3 random alien codes(one of them can have a 100% chance of getting murk upchuck just for a classic reference) after some time in the campaign you will found Myaxx and unlocked her in the omnitrix shop for another 3 random aliens codes, and when you are advance on the campaing you do a mission where you and Myaxx go on xenon to found azmuth when you completed the mission you unlocked azmuth to recalibrate your omnitrix and he sell a only special code that have a higher chance to get one of the three special alien(Gravattack, Atomix, FeedBack) but you can still unlock a normal or a great alien. Upgrading the Omnitrix:With Azmuth unlocked you can recalibrate your omnitrix chaging your omnitrix to a custom recalibrated version, reseting your omnitrix and randomizing again your 10 aliens, you can update your recalibrated omnitrix with azmuth for a high price re-unlocking everything you had in the prototype omnitrix(aliens,bugs repair upds,quick change and others possibilitys of upds for the prototype) in some time of the campaing you will found albedo vilgax and some others ben 10 villans and have two ways of continuing the main and side campaing with the bad side(albedo, vilgax, etc) that you will gain the ultimatrix(you will gain the ultimates for your aliens but all the prototype bugs will come back with a percent of the ultimates revolutionize disabling your ultimate forms for some period of time) that is basically recalibrated with a ultimate bar(some aliens can go ultimate spending the ultimate energy of the bar that recharges when the player is in the normal form) or go to the good side (azmuth, the plumbers etc) that you gain the perfect omnitrix, that is just the other versions of the omnitrix but without bugs, with the randomize mode, all the unlocked aliens from the past omnitrixs(Prototype and recalibrated),a failsafe that can be programmed (select the alien to change when you get low health on some situations like water, ground or even skys phases), dna lock(select a alien to lock on without time out or quick change), shield mode and some others, in some side missions you can go to the future timeline and do some visual updates to your omnitrix (like chosing the classic ben 10K or the 5YL Omnimatrix with customizable colors and things you can put on the omnitrix) and you can chose two upgrades to the omnitrix, if you have the ultimatrix you can upgrade to the ultimate ben ultimatrix, almost the perfect omnitrix but without the randomize mode and dna lock-on, and the transforming into the aliens but instead gain special buffs for each selected alien, if you have the perfect omnitrix you gain the Biomnitrix reducing your aliens count but unlocking some aliens fusions (others than just the showed) the fusions are more powerful than the actual aliens (yes Atomix X is a usable fusion). Special Aliens:aliens like Waybig, ClockWork and Alien X can only be used in certain situations, Way Big can only be used on sky missions where you have to use flight aliens but you can chose way big(why because in earth his big enough to reache the skys and toku'stars born in space so in space missions he can be in the normal weight because how big the space is and he ca just float),ClockWork only can be selected in multiplayer missions where you fight Evil CronoSapiens, if the player choses the trix user option the alien x it can be still seen in the dna storage but you can't select he, he only can be select in some special multiplayer event(Like the ultimate Eon or a Evil celestial-sapien event). Customizing Omnitrix:when you start the game you can customize your prototype omnitrix changing the primary an secudenry color, add some spikes some wires, changing the format to be like the slim version like AF and OV omnitrix, the gauntlet stily like UA, when recalibrated the primary and secudanry color and the little detail like spikes or wires maintain but you can still change the formate, if you get the ultimatrix you can chose the gauntlet style or the glove style like OV or maintain the recalibrated formate, the Perferct Omnitrix maintain the same things but can change the formate to a gauntlet, glove or an adaptad version of the Prototype and when getting to the future timeline you can do a visual upgrade the perfect to the classic ben 10K or the 5YL Omnimatrix, or upgrade to the Bionmitrix that can just change the colors and add some little details. Customizing Aliens:you can change the alien style to the style of the 5 shows(OS,UAF,OV and Reboot), or put skins that you can get doing or missions on the alien planet or doing some side missions on the plumber base, the only alien-types that are uncustomizing is the ultimates the fusions and the future ultimatrix(ultimate ben omnitrix).

While I cool concept I don’t think it’s very feasible, especially since designing a move set for just 10 aliens is going to take a lot of time assuming custom animations and models. That is on top of the variety of enemies. On top of that, imagine buying a game but you are locked out of the main content until you finish 2-5 hrs of single player content, it would be frustrating if you just bought the game to play with your friends and have to grind out the story just to play with your friends. Also in terms of monetization, would the game be free to play, subscription based, buy a base game and future content is DLC, etc? I love the idea, and in the ideal world WB would be able to spend the money needed to create a game that Ben 10 deserves, includes beloved aliens from every iteration, and have a monetization strategy that doesn’t cheapen the experience of the game or lock out content from anyone.

[@johnnygyro2295]

A Ben 10 MMO's an interesting concept, that's for sure. Getting to make a custom character and later team up with other Omnitrix wielders via the multiverse is cool and fits the lore. I also like how you have the options to either buy transformation codes from Azmuth or just tamper with the Omnitrix to get more aliens. I'm not sure who I would prefer to be the villains of the single-player campaign, though. There are plenty of options, and since we're already in an alternate universe, events and characters could deviate from the show...

Also I think when you become a celestialsapian you should get the option to switch back to a omnitrix user (ofc after you do this you can’t go back to alien x unless you make a new character) so that way if you spent time unlocking every alien and have gotten bored of being alien x you don’t have to make a new character to get all your old alien, upgrades, and gear back

For the 10 starter aliens it’d be nice if there we like 4-5 catagories like support (Pixie dust, Terraspin), DPS (Heatblast, Four-Arms), Transport (Fasttrack, Aerodactle), Control (Brainstorm, Lodestar) and Tank (Cannonbolt, Armored NRG). That way everything is still random but at least options will be more controlled. Really making it like DCU online with all the features mentioned may provide the most fun. Bellwood, Rushmore, the Alien Market, and Omnicity would be interesting town.

Hope you like it 😁: Alien Customization:when unlocking or before the game start the players able to customize how their alien would look like, either change it's base color like having blue fourarms or giving it unique feature just like Mad Ben's alien that wears spiked armor or Gwen 10's alien who have unique feature like her wildvine have Leia hairstyles but this customization doesn't have anything to do with the alien stat Alien Name:players can give their alien original name just like how ben 23 does,and when playing online the alien name will be displayed on the screen(I actually have original name for my own alien like Blazestrike for my version of Heatblast or Apelectric for Shocksquatch) Adding alien from outside of the prime universe:like alien from reboot like Shock Rock and Gax,alien from special or commercial like Anti Gravitesla and Portaler,concept alien like Funguy and Decagon Vreedle or maybe you also can include alien from 5YL Adding alien that's never used or not on the playlist:this one kinda different from the idea above because this one is based around the alien that appears in the show but never been used by ben like Highbreed,Argit Species,Ultimos Species,Krahoo,or Bashmouth that only been used by kevin in Reboot Playing as bad guys:Since the player owning the Omnitrix it's up to them to use it for good to help people or for their own gain,during the quest there will be a Good/Bad meter that will change based on the players action if the player use Omnitrix for intentionally hurt citizen or destroy thing the bad meter will increase and it will unlock new path based on their highest meter and if the players choose to be bad during online multiplayer they will be sided with maltruant and other dark version of ben like Albedo and Nega Ben to fight other players to conquer the galaxy Growth and Interact with other player:at the start of the game the player will be asked about their current age and their birth date and the older the player gets their alien will become more mature too just like ben 10K and if the player has a child or couple who also play the game they can become a family in the game as well Power Up:the power up in this game would be separated into 3 types which are Ultimate,Skurd Half Mutation or Omni Kix and the player have to choose 1 after choose their power up the player would be given a quest to unlock this power up and after clearing the quest they can choose any 10 alien they want to gain this power ups(note:the choice cannot be change once you choose 10 alien to gain power up you can't give it or transfer it to other alien and the power up form can be customize as well) Playing as other main character:not only the player can become the ben or Omnitrix user in their story they also can become either of Gwen,Kevin,Rook,Grandpa Max,Cooper,etc by clearing specific quest to unlock them and these other characters appearance,and name would be randomized for each player but they still keep their abilities (like having male Gwen,young grandpa max or bad boys rook) and this other characters can also be used in multiplayer and accompany the player during the main quest Fusion:when the players clear the game and goes to forge of creation with professor Paradox,I think there should be third option for the player to choose which are replacing their omnitrix with Biomnitrix that expand their active playlist to 20 and able to fuse two alien but they will lose their power ups and they no longer able to transform into single alien(it always become the fusion form) Fanmade Alien:during every update their will be a contest where the player can create alien of their own with and the winner of the contest will have their alien redesigned and added to the game,the rules are the winner of the contest cannot enter the contest untill the fifth update since their entry been added to the game Pet:player may able to get pet in the game by buying it at Petshop and the pet comes with original breed that never seen in the Series like Rock Monster that made of Crystal,A galavanic Mechamorph like ship but shaped like bird,or Tiger stripped Panucian the pet store also sell Nemetrix that can be equiped to the player's pet and unlcok new combo but the predator in their pet playlist would be randomized and cannot be change,the player must buy another Nemetrix if they are not satisfied with their pet transformation and there would be original predator alien too in the game Weather system:weather can changed during the course of game and this also will affect the player condition if they stay out of rain or snow for too long they will get sick and their alien also get sick just like what happened to Ben when he get sick Interacting with the World:player can interact with the world like taking picture with the citizen,goes to restaurant and eating chilli fries,goes to arcade to play games and many more. There also gonna be mini quest or random encounters like a burglar stealing someone's wallet or a robbery and it's up to the player if they wanted to help the citizen this also will affect their good and bad meter and the player also can get a job like working in Mr Bauman Store or Mr Smoothie or work with their version of Argit like characters to sell Illegal object. The player also able to join other faction beside their guild in online play like joining Galactic Enforcer,Plumber,or Forever Knights Add non alien to the playlist:what I want to talk about in this section is that the omnitrix also provide non alien dna just like how nanomech was created by fusing Ben's dna with Nanochip and I also read in the wiki that the omnitrix is contain the dna of Rat and Dolphin so it would be cool if the player can scan animal or object and fused with their dna to unlcok new alien Well thats All of my idea,let me know if you like it Kuro and everyone too hope you guys like my idea 😁

[@jaywalker70731]

I like most of these ideas. But I feel like the regular animal transformations feel like a little too much, yeah the omnitrix should be able to do it. But why?

[@thejamesdiamonds]

[@storymaster164]

Yo, this game sounds like it would be complicated to make and program but if you could pull it off it would be one of the greatest MMORPGs ever. Assuming the story is really good it would probably be up there with my favorite MMO, Star Wars the Old Republic.

[@metal2875]

I imagine the scanning feature to work like the recruitments in Watch Dogs: Legion. An alien could even become aggressive with the creepy rando trying to clone them. They can start fights or a initiate a randomized side quest ending in a scan.

[@PlayerZeroStart]

Having stirred the idea in my head, I've come to the conclusion that, while neat in concept, this idea would probably have a lot of issues in execution. For one, I hate the idea of locking you out of Multiplayer until you beat the singleplayer segment. The main reason is simply that it's an MMO, and MMOs are, by definition, Multiplayer. That Multiplayer experience is what 99% of players are going into the game for. By forcing the player to play singleplayer for so long, you're all but guaranteeing an immediate dropoff of a significant portion of your players. But there's also the issue of character building. MMOs are built around the idea of teamwork, with each character in a party specializing in different aspects of combat. As such, your typical MMO character is built with that in mind. If someone wants to be a healer, their character probably isn't gonna have much focus on dealing damage, for example. But in a singleplayer context, it's completely different. Since you have to do everything yourself, it's all about building a character to cover as many different areas as possible. Because of this, you can't just take a singleplayer build and throw it into an MMO and expect it to work. At most, the singleplayer segment should just be a quick tutorial that you can finish in like 10 minutes, if not just letting you skip it outright. Anything more and it'd just be unnecessary padding. As well, the Aliens you get at the beginning shouldn't be random. By making it random, you're just encouraging players to constantly make new characters until they get the lineup they want. Instead, the 10 Aliens should be the same 10 every time (whether they're the same as Ben's original 10, I'm not sure). However, I think it'd be fine making your later unlocked aliens random, since by that point, you've already put some commitment in to that one playthrough. Another thing is the password system. While that sounds really cool, the reality is that those codes would end up online within the month of release, maybe two months depending. And once they were on there, nobody would buy the codes anymore. You could easily get access to the most powerful aliens right off the bat without having to put in any actual work to get them. Sure, you could not do that, but since it's online, you're automatically putting yourself at a disadvantage for doing so. I'm also concerned about how one would actually make a password system for this. It would have to be complex enough that it has enough combinations to encompass every single unlockable alien, while being simple enough that you could actually input it into any of the Omnitrix variants. Instead, codes should work like this: You buy a "code", which is actually just an item. And when you use the item, it automatically unlocks the alien. There would also be a button that lets you fiddle with the Omnitrix (at no extra input from the player), and what happens is entirely chance based using your "technology" skill, or whatever the game would have. The final issue with the game itself is the idea of the final choice, become a Celestialsapien or remain human. Quite simply, forcing the player to make a choice like that, one that is irreversible and will potentially completely change the rest of the game for them, is a bad idea. All you're gonna do is make the player not want to choose, for the fear that they make the wrong choice. "What if I choose to be a Celestialsapien and it's not fun?" "What if I choose to remain human only to miss out on a bunch of extra content?" "How is this gonna affect the composition of my party?" etc. Not to mention, it'd be a really difficult thing to balance. The loss of transformation immediately puts the Celestialsapien at a disadvantage, so you'd have to make them really, really good, enough that a player would actually get enjoyment out of playing one over a human. But if you make them too good, then there would end up being no reason to stay as a human. There's ultimately no way I could see this inclusion being a good idea. I feel like it'd be better to just have the Alien X transformation be the final unlockable. It still rewards you for finishing the story, but doesn't create the long litany of issues both on part of the devs and the players. But probably the biggest problem with the whole concept is it being an MMO, for a series primarily targeted at children. The thing is, since MMOs are primarily funded through subscription services and microtransactions, and they need constant funding to keep the servers up, targeting one towards children, with no money of their own, is a bad idea, and most MMOs targeted at children don't usually end up going on for very long. FusionFall? Only lasted 5 years. Dragon Ball Online? 3 years. The only MMO I can think of that's both aimed at children, and is still going on strong to this day, is Wizard 101, but they're the exception, not the norm. And when you consider that this idea would probably require massive development cost given all the different aliens you'd have to develop, not to mention that Ben 10 isn't NEARLY as popular as it once was, a project like this is destined to fail. I'd be surprised if it made it past its second year online, honestly.

[@arokarok2253]

i want someone who can make this game a reality cn should be taking notes

[@TieflingKumasi]

My thought for a Ben 10 MMO would’ve been similar to DCUO, but the story involves Vilgax actually developing his own omnitrix to spread to humans worldwide, so Azmuth has to start building more of his own omnitrix for heroes

[@AdamCronchey]

That would be amazing. Especially if you have the option to backstab Vilgax at the end.

[@TieflingKumasi]

@@AdamCronchey Oh I like that

[@joshfarmer8408]

Here are a few Ideas i came up with to make the game more interesting. First: introduce a counter system at the start of the game. What I mean by this is that you said the aliens are selected at random, so one character might get screwed over with bad aliens like nanomech, walkatrout, and the worst whail someone is stacked with humungasaur, diamond head, and xlr8. Right when you are done building your character, you will have a counter with the 3 different series on them and a dial between 1 and 5. This will determine witch aliens from witch series you will have at your disposal and makes it more interesting to see what you get. Second: if this is supposed to be an rpg, then we need side stories for Gwen, Kevin, and Max. A Gwen story where you are an anodite, a Kevin story where you are an osmosian, and a Max story where you are a plumber. These aspects would make you want to replay the game multiple times to see what the new stories hold or what new aliens you could get.

[@failmeep5167]

Online play being locked away feels a bit meh, maybe campaign can have it's own character?

[@crystalmoon101]

Heck ya! The concept of a Ben 10 MMO or RPG is something I've been dreaming of in concepts for a long time now, the idea of it could work so well given how vast the Ben 10 universe is. There's a lot you could explore, even learning more about the aliens in the franchies. And of course everyone would be wanting to make their ATUs, hahaha.

[@lolglolblol]

If Aliens can be unlocked by messing with the Omnitrix, then I think those codes need to be randomized for each player, otherwise people will just look them up online and bypass the glitch mechanic. Also I'm not sure I like the idea of locking the multiplayer behind the campaign. Players have never liked that sort of thing, especially not if the multiplayer is the main appeal of the game.

[@powerthunfischdesdonners3086]

there problem might be a problem should people find out HOW the codes would be generated,there would be alot of sites that could show your codes.

[@redgiant7747]

I have a story idea for this. Since you’re making an original character, they probably won’t match the appearance of Grandpa Max and Gwen. They could just match the skin color you choose for your character like the mom character does in the latest Pokémon games, but I have another idea. Grandpa can look the same cuz a kid might not look exactly like their grandfather, but Gwen in this game can instead be your character’s childhood friend and classmate who’s going on a summer road trip with you since your families are friends. I believe this was Gwen’s original purpose in the scrapped pilot and it would explain why she looks different than you. The beginning can be similar to the first episode of the original series, and the tutorial can involve fighting the drones Vilgax sends. This time though, he decides drones won’t be enough and he needs more fire power to take on someone with access to multiple forms. There can be a cutscene where he establishes he’s watching you with a drone of some kind. You’ll go to various states and fight ten bosses specifically: First is Dr Animo since she’s iconic. Then tetrax and his fellow assassins. In this version they’re a real team of bounty hunters, but tetrax doesn’t know they’re after the omnitrix until he sees you use it. This version of him was once friends with azmuth, and betrays his team to help you. Z’skayre will also be different. Since you get random aliens and might not have ghost freak, he’ll just be an entity you find lurking around the college Gwen wants to go to. Then he’ll reveal himself as the banished king of ghosts or whatever. And a professor will help you defeat him. Professor Hex. Next is the werewolf, who I’ll call Kujo. In Mexico, you’ll team up with Kai to hunt and stop him from setting up dangerous weather towers. Then you’ll beat him and Kai won’t be a dick. Rojo will be next, then Victor who you’ll fight in s rocket ship cuz it’s cool, then charmcaster who’s goals are independent of Hex but he’ll show up to help you stop her. This version is being manipulated by the same dark entity giving her power. Then you’ll fight Charger, a human megawat fusion made from an accident involving a swarm of megawatts and an electrician. He’ll go mad for revenge against his boss or something snd you’ll fight him. Up next is Kevin Eleven who you meet earlier in the game and befriend, and you encourage him to use his powers more freely like you. When you see him again tho, he’ll have gone in the wrong direction morally and become an enemy. Next is zombozo who will be much creepier. And finally, *insert villain you think would be the best addition here* Then vilgax summons all of them to capture you, take the omnitrix and kill you. The negative 10 fails and you win the end

[@coolbeans3752]

If you're gonna make a glitch system. I recommend getting weapons for you're human form too. To help balance it out. Pistols, whips, shields, swords, maybe traps. Or if we wanted to play as a magician. Or just a plain plumber. Heck, I'd love to have Kevin's powers. I definitely feel that in an rpg system you shouldn't just have one class.

[@firephoenix2738]

One suggestion, and this is just a thought, what if once you max out your omnitrix you can have a choice to recalibrate it or not, idk what would happen if you do decide to, maybe you can customize the aliens colors, again idk, and if you decline you keep your original omnitrix, but that’s my thought and will let people decide if it’s good or not

I would play this in a heart beat.

[@di5a]

Oh my god. Please pitch this to WB. I would have no problem paying full price for a game like this. There's a few things I'd change, but I seriously think we as a community could get this to happen. So, some things I would change, 1: Having the player have to complete a lengthy campaign before getting access to the multiplayer would turn a lot of people off of the game and kill it very quickly. An easy fix would involve the player making their character, get their playlist and then play through a 1-2 hour tutorial. This would teach the player the mechanics but not drag on too much. 2: Others have said it, but I think permanently becoming a celestialsapien or giving up the chance forever wouldn't be very fun, especially if you give the choice after all their work. I think, however, giving the player a celestialsapien transformation after they've completed the game, but limiting the time they can use it daily to, say, 15 minutes, would make it a lot fairer. 3: I love the idea of travelling through universes to stop chronosapiens, and you mention doing it with a guild. I think that's an excellent idea, to be able to play the campaign with friends, some things I'd add to this idea, I think the guilds should be limited to 4/5/6 people, whatever balances the best, and if you don't have the max people in your guild, you get ai companions on each mission. I also think if you could have some kind of a guild sign on your OC and Aliens' clothes, that could be customized, that would make it feel a lot more personal. Lastly, I think the guilds should be able to explore in vehicles together, and fight in PvP/PvE events (outside of the multiplayer story mode? together. (Elaborated further later) 4: A PvP/PvE aspect. I think players should be able to compete against each other in PvP fights, maybe even adding a guild war feature. A ranked mode would work perfectly for this, with 4/5/6 a team symmetrical fights, like overwatch, where you get ranked as a guild instead of ranked solo. For PvE events, I'm thinking they could add raid bosses, and maybe a swarm type mode. For the raid bosses, they could have villains from the series such as Vilgax, Maltruant, Malware and the like versus the 6 players. I think this would be great to compete against with your guild, and even with randoms. The other mode I'm thinking about could be a swarm-type raid. In these, you would face off against an army of enemies, for example the highbreed army, and the more you kill, the better Rewards you receive. Each enemy could go down like a normal enemy in the base Gamez however the difficulty would come from the sheer amount of enemies on the screen at one time. Rewards could be given out by how much damage you dealt to the boss. The rewards could be currency (such as the currency you mention as a mineral azmuth needs for his inventions, so the player can unlock new alien codes), event limited clothes, and if Omnitrix customization (again, elaborated further later) was in the game, event limited Omnitrix parts. A reward for events could even be event limited aliens, that you maybe unlock over multiple, let's say five, events. This system could keep the player coming back to play in the events. The aliens could then be made available later for people who missed out on the event, however probably much later. If you don't get all the pieces of the alien though, you could for example get a weaker version of the alien, or a consolation prize. The alien pieces would preferably be some of the easiest event rewards so that you can get them without insane amounts of skill. 5: Customization options. I think the player being able to customize more than just the colors of their Omnitrix would be a great addition. I think the ability to swap out parts of the Omnitrix to slowly make it your own at any time would be excellent for immersing the player. On top of the Omnitrix, you mentioned customizing a custom character. I love that idea, and I think going far with it could really work. If the player has an Omnitrix time out, they'd obviously want to look at their character, lol, so making the customization of the character in depth is a no brainer. I feel like there should be clothing and other customization rewards handed out for completing certain milestones in the story and multiplayer. These milestones could include unlocking certain amounts of aliens, or just certain hard to get aliens, and completing certain missions. Back on the Omnitrix customization, I think this is a no-brainer, but the eyes and Omnitrix insignia on the aliens should change colour depending on the secondary colour of your Omnitrix. 6: "Special" Aliens.. I think the aliens that are impossible to get from the random playlist should all be obtainable, however with limited powers. Alien X has already been addressed, so I'll only cover the other two. Clockwork could be obtained in a fight (final fight maybe?) With maltruant, from scanning him or something. The powers would obviously be limited, but maybe freezing enemies, stopping projectiles and regaining health (like Tracer from overwatch) could be a few. With Way Big, I think the best idea would be obtaining him in a story moment, and his powers could be incredibly strong, but he can only be used once every, say, 30 minutes and only for 1/2 minutes. I think making him inaccessible in PvP and PvE events would also be fair, otherwise it would create too much of an imbalance. 7: Final thoughts and wrap-up. I think that this idea has the chance to hit the ground running, and there's just one last thing before I finish: I don't have any in depth ideas, but if ultimate forms were hard to get and had a time limit like other features, and unlocked from a side quest, even with some new, game original ultimates, I think that would be kinda neat. Anyway, please, please please, like I've said before, pitch this idea. Or even get some people to help you build a pitch before pitching it. I think this idea can be great, it just needs to get out there.

[@SiennaReborn21]

I kind of like the idea that instead of starting with 10 random aliens, you might choose one of several starting sets. They would either be based on each series' starting aliens, balanced teams of different aliens, or possibly sets that are loosely based on themes or roles (a "tank" set with strong ones like Fourarms or Humongousaur, a "fast" set with XLR8 and Fasttrack, etc). If anyone's played Digimon World 3 on PS1, that's the type of system I'm thinking of.

[@merchantziro4285]

_Note: This was a comment I put on the original video but decided to copy and paste here as well. Though I have also updated it to account for new ideas and such after watching this segment a second time._ I really like this game idea, a Ben 10 MMO sounds fun and interesting to play with as a concept. For the pre-online campaign story I'd imagine playing into the Omniverse aspect of Ben 10 to build up to the Online mode. Perhaps it's related to the two part episode "And Then There Were None" & "And Then There Was Ben" where Eon and Vilgax are trying to recruit Ben's and perhaps other Omnitrix users. The player would then be faced into battle against other villains from across the show's history and even alternate timeline versions of them such as the Forever King, Dagon, the Highbreed, Zs'Skayr, Kevin 11,000, and more. All of which can be hand waved by Eon and Vilgax screwing with time and such or something else, basically just let you fight Ben 10 villains from across the series. The final battle could have you help Ben Prime, Gwen 10, Ben 10K, and Ben 23 to assist in protecting No Watch Ben and his world from Vilgax, though perhaps you yourself are defeated through the Chronosapien Time Bomb but survive because you aren't a Tennyson like the rest of the Bens and Gwen (in this scenario Paradox would grab both you and No Watch Ben). Thus maybe after a level where you play the role of No Watch Ben to restore the original Ben 10 timeline, you unlock Clockwork as a result to restore all of the Ben's. The final showdown with the alternative Omnitrix users would set up the Online Co-Op Campaign and introduce the Co-Op mechanics such as team attacks and such. Personally though one of the only major changes I'd make is being able to select maybe 2 or 3 aliens to be guaranteed picks in your starting playlist so that way people can start off with their favorite alien or aliens but the rest of the playlist is still completely randomized. So for example I could start with Ditto, Pesky Dust, and Upgrade as 3 picks I'd be guaranteed to start with. Though perhaps a small minor benefit like maybe a few levels right off the bat could be given to those who start with no guarantee alien picks. Also as for making Gravattack and Atomix rare... I'd just make them unlockable alongside other forms like Clockwork, Way Big, Alien X, and so on. All of them being unlocked either through story progression like Clockwork, though reaching certain achievements like max level for Alien X, or as a reward for special side quests. Another would be changing the choice of becoming stuck as Alien X permanently. I would instead keep it as a super transformation that is capable of solving all problems, but of course isn't as overpowered as Alien X is canonically. Think Alien X in the Reboot where he's pretty powerful, at least well above average, and is incredibly versatile meaning he can somewhat keep up with all types of aliens. However you still aren't completely unbeatable as you could still lose to a Trix User not using Alien X in 1 on 1 battle. Maybe as an alternative downside it takes up all 10 Slots in a playlist meaning it will be the only form you can use when equipped. That seems like a much more fair trade-off giving you the power to solve many problems with one form, but it's the only form you are able to use at a time. Lastly my final idea is just a vs mode where you can fight other Omnitrix wielders in combat. Obviously players would have their level and stats altered to be the same level (similar to how Pokemon games have Tournaments where you and your opponent are both Level 50 for example) and you both are stuck with a single playlist during the fight. There would probably be a 1v1 mode where it's you and a friend or some random other player, or you and your guild vs another guild, or both are completely randomized teams all 3 work. Maybe through vs mode you can unlock special cosmetics and such for different tournaments like for example special Omnitrix customization parts that can only be unlocked in this mode. Also I'm imagining just fun DLC story campaigns for the Online Mode like one featuring the bosses of the Reboot Ben 10 series, ending with a battle against Alien X during the events of Alien X-Tinction for example. Other than those, my ideas are just the obvious customization ideas such as perhaps being able to design your own Omnitrix based on parts of existing models and being able to customize your aliens with colors, outfits (such as Rath being either nude, having his wrestling outfit, or some original concepts for clothing), and perhaps even being able to name them but with something like this _Speedblitz (XLR8), Ikari (Rath), Not Goku (Atomix), you get the idea. Sorry I'm just running wild with the idea it sounds like it could hold so much potential. This sounds like an awesome idea.

[@souhaibfake2677]

I also imagine alien customization and omnitrix customization

I feel like there should be Omnitrix customization in game, because after being able to transform into only 10 aliens at a time loses steam after awhile, so maybe Ultimate Aliens, maybe Antitrix variants of some aliens that require missions to be unlocked and completed to get them? Eh?

[@csavell1]

A cool idea so you can keep Way Big, Alien X and Clockwork in the game is you could split the parallel universes into 3 Paralleled Regions and have each of them in charge of a region. The region you pick could also determine what Aliens you start off with and what you can get through your solo story but only the more rare/powerful ones get unlocked through multiplayer.

[@rotciv9857]

thats a really neat concept! The only (big) thing i would change, would it be to add other classes to the player, like osmose and anodite, and since im an total kevin stan, i made my concept For osmose i though you could absorb any alien you see on your journey, and gain one of its ability (wich one would be randomized) for a short period of time, and with higher levels, you could either choose to absorb more abilitys from the same alien, or absorb more than one alien and create your own mutations You could absorb materals and energy too, the materials would increase your physical stats and energy would give more abilitys. You can combine alien dna, materials and energy in one mutation, but prob for a short time The osmose players would have an "Sanity Bar", if you absorb a lot of aliens in a short period of time or keep the power for a long time, the bar would increase, updating your stats, but making you have less critical chances, powers not working and etc And if you absorb an omnitrix, your sanity bar will always be high, but you can't absorb any other thing or come back to normal At the end of the campaign you would unlock the "11k Mutation" an mutation where you choose some alien powers to use in your mutation, wich you could turn on and off anytime (You would get the alien dna to customize the mutation by staying near the alien you want the power). In this transformation your sanity bar doesn't high up So yeah thats what i though for all osmose fans outthere

[@somehelluvafanboy8357]

This idea seems awesome as hell! However, in my personal opinion, I think there are too many functions and could make things a bit more complicated than they should be. Maybe simplifying how some of the Omnitrix features work could help the experience. That or at least wait until the PS6 is a thing lmao

[@Running_Joke]

This concept of a potential Ben 10 game seems really well thought out and intriguing, I know I’d be ecstatic if they announced that a game like this was in the works. Though I think a small addition to the listed mechanics that could be cool and add even more customisation to the game would be the ability to give your alien forms unique names. I’m thinking that it’d be similar to the nickname feature in the Pokémon games, where you’d be able to either go with the default canon name for your chosen alien, such as Four Arms, Upchuck, Goop, etc, or assign to any of them a name of your choice. This would allow players to give their alien forms a bit of a personal touch and for those with pre-existing trix user OCs who possess uniquely named transformations, a chance to play as said transformations, colour-scheme, new name and all would likely be very satisfying. (It’d also be cool if the player, after either acquiring a ship, the mechamorph ‘Ship’ or a transformation like Jetray, could visit some of the alien planets and systems in Ben 10 lore like Galvan, Mikd’lty and Anur).

Man I want this game. I can play as Rath, Blitzwolfer, Upgrade and more... WOULD LOVE THAT

[@flameohotman8032]

Few things I'd like to add to this potential Ben 10 game that I haven't seen anyone bring up yet. Why not give players the options to chose which design of the Omnitrix across all five shows they want? It doesn't have to include functions specific to that Omnitrix (Like the Ultimate feature with the Ultimatrix) or the exact aliens from that Omnitrix. Everything else you've established can still be implemented, but I feel giving players the choice to pick which Omnitrix design they'd want as their default would be going the extra mile to allow them express their creativity freely, and add more personality to their custom characters. Instead of everyone having the exact same Omnitrix design. And also add the way in which the unique Omnitrix is activated,to further sell how different they are from one another. Also, small tangent,a mission,or a series of missions where you're able to work with characters from any of the five shows, especially Ben himself would be really cool.

[@au7923]

What about the biomatrix?

[@flameohotman8032]

[@worstplayever700]

Would be cool if any modded aliens happen to appear, you can scan them to get them in your roster (I know that would be actually impossible)

I want this game made, so much!

[@LeeJoeLeeKingOfDingesSamartass]

You know be so cool if you have a matrix you can customize your Matrix and then create your own DNA monster into your Omnitrix that be cool

[@heitoroliveira4028]

the idea is amazing, i loved everything at it, but i think it's so complex that for a company to make it would be kinda not realistic, they would need to program all aliens and their attacks and abilities, customization, mecanics, level ups and everything is great but so complex that's something that would be only a dream, even most oficial ben 10 games only allowed us to use 5 aliens even the newer ones like the reboot game that had i think only 6 aliens showing that the devs doesn't want to program 10 alies :/ what is really sad, i hope in a perfect future a group of game devs that love ben 10 see this and really take the time to put those ideas to work

[@heitoroliveira4028]

actually i take all that back😂 freaking roblox did that and worked, for a company to not deliver something better than that would be a complete shame, so yeah your idea is not unrealistic dude 🤙

[@kickbrosmasher5155]

The only bad idea about this was locking players to alien x

[@ancientking224]

What do I think? I think warner bros needs to hire you immediatly! The versatility of using the multiverse means you can tell a creative story and not be entirely limited to the canon. Making it choice based as well would encourage a lot of replayability, ranging from you becoming a good guy or bad guy. Whether it means to redeem villains like Vilgax or curse villains like Ultimate Kevin. A randomized Omnitrix would be the most ideal as it's good for balancing the system. Keeping it to a playlist of 10 would prevent long times switching between transformations. Keeping the player limited to a single story then multiplayer after finishing the game prevents for players to becoming too overpowered too early. Not to mention the idea of false transformations comes from tinkering with the Omnitrix is really cool. The Alien X idea is interesting, albeit it might break the balancing of the system unless carefully handled. The time war leaves a lot of leeway for a storymode. Not to mention that you could also fight other online players as some could've make a villanous decision like some of the bad Ben's and thus allow for cool battles.

[@jammedout191]

this was a cool segment! id love to see maybe a full ink tank video where the whole crew gives their thoughts on a hypothetical game! also i thought maybe instead of master control coming at the end of the games story, it could come up at the end of the online story kuro talked about, where you either chose between becoming a celestialsapien or gaining master control and remaining a trix user, i think giving players a dynamic where guilds have to strategize about which aliens to chose and when to transform to maximize the use out of their forms is too cool to leave in just the story, but rewarding them for mastering this mechanic at the "end" with a functional master control, would open possiblites for both pathways chosen at the end of a characters file that keeps gameplay fresh, so instead what if the omnitrix merely recalbriates at the storys end and rewards the player with changing between aliens (at the cost of total alien time) and gives them a few new transformations to help them get started in online mode? rather then remove a function that they probably havent gotten totally down pat, but could with friends, maybe this was too much thought for a fake hypothetical video game but anyway this video and the breakdown that came with it were great! you guys are awesome and i love giving the rust bucket some content to check out!

[@lazy_Sundayzzz]

Personally for I feel like there should be different classes like instead of just every one having an Omnitrix they could be Osmos and Gwen's type of race and each of them get like unique rewards from defeating a boss like lucky charms or charmcasters spell book while osmos can interact with the Omnitrix and at max level absorb baby alien x or something What do u think?

[@StarWyvernHPB]

Honestly, this would be amazing!, i'd love to see something like this become a reality.

[@PaxPandemonium]

An awesome glitch to have would be the fusion problem, where aliens with opposing weaknesses are meshed together. A possible way to do this is to have the alien’s vital body parts be seperate models, such as arms, legs, etc., and have the developers splice them together like they did in classic. This could open up a possible DLC for online where the players would battle against a rogue guild of custom enemies that had their DNA spliced with 10 aliens like Kevin 11

[@therockdolphin]

I have my 2 cents like most people: For the starting 10, Grav and Atomix shouldn't be available as a low chance. It would make speedrunning the game feel even more luck based and can trivialize the beginning of the game for some people. I say to put them into a "powerhouse" slot in the base 10 along with some other aliens that could get up there, like Feedback as well. And you can have a group of aliens in different rolls that all get rng'd as opposed to a true random 10. Like "brawler" type that could roll Rath, Fourarms, Armadrillo, or Humongasaur. "Specialist" type that could have Heatblast, Amphibian, Artiguana, or Loadstar. "Flight" type that would have Nanomech, Stinkfly, Big Chill, or Ghostfreak. "Speed" type that could have Fastpass, XLR8, Crashhopper, or Jetray. "Movement" type that could have Wildvine, Goop, Swampfire, or Spidermonkey. "Brain" type that could have Brainstorm, Gray Matter, or Jury Rig. With each alien falling into any catagory they would fit in and can be rolled for any, except power houses, they are only in that catagory. And the remainders are rolled for any alien, except those in powerhouses. Have it so if you gain a new alien, you "bench" one of the current aliens you have that match one of the ctagories the new alien has, so you will always have at least one of each type (or just make it to where you can't exit the menu unless every type has at least one alien that passes an int game check), making the game a bit easier to balance, and allowing certain types of level puzzles to appear and not cause the players progress to hault because they no longer have, say a flyer. And only allow change to happen either with someone who can mess with the Omnitrix for you, and late game after you gain the scan function. The multiplayer should be able to be accessed right away, but the scan mode should be saved for an end of story unlock, so people can't just go online, grab any aliens they like and go back to the story mode making that part of the game useless. Either have the shop unlock the ability to access that alien in the games code, or randomize every code at time of purchase as to stop people from just looking them up online and negating the whole point of the shop and the random spawn at the start of the game. I think the glitching should be attached to story progression. So at a certain point of the story, your character messed with the Omnitrix in a cutscene, and now has glitches occurring that also switch over to the multiplayer. And as you progress further, you lose the glitching and gain better controll of the watch itself. Aliens should level up individually. Think how the weapons in Ratchet and Clank level up, just not as long. You can also purchase level boost for every alien except Alien X. Each alien would only have a limited amout of exp you can purchase for them, until you gain more levels for them naturally. The later in the game you get, the more can be purchased at one time. Giving you another reason for the currency, and you could make the currency purchasable with real money. I think Alien X should be event based. After you travel to the Forge Of Creation, you can get these special missions that you can go on that replaces your powerhouse alien for that mission only. And to balance Alien X, I propose to make any action you try to make with him have about a 75%-50% success rate, to simulate the fact that there needs to be a winning debate for it. This includes moving, but it's at one time. So if you try to go forward, as long as you don't stop, you can also turn or pivot yourself to move backwards. And after you level him up, you increase your success chances to the point where it almost becomes (or does become) 100%. Alien X would level a but quicker than the other aliens, about once for each special mission completed, even if you didn't swap to him the entire time. Multiplayer should not allow aliens to level up until the story is complete, or have it so every alien gas a level cap that can grow as the story is completed. Ultimate aliens could be a fun add on later into the life of the game that gives some aliens their Ultimate forms, and some that were created for the game. And each one gas to gave some mission to unlock, or some other special condition. Giving more life to the game, and a reason to try some aliens after completion. I'm not sure how well I explained some of my thoughts, so if any question, edits, or additions, let me know in the comments.

[@joshualawrence5253]

I personally think that Alien X should be available into the Omnitrix in this game, but nerf it into Reboot Alien X level or at least less powerful than being Alien X permanently so it’d be fair to players.

[@grimpirate1117]

Also mastercontrol should not happen unless the current version of of your omnitrix is maxed. You being able to change the versions letting you uses different abilities of the watch.After regular omnitrix you choose a path

[@grimpirate1117]

Prototype- Glitches 10 aliens Recalibrated- 15 aliens less wrong transformations and lazer in base Ultimate- 20 if certain alien picked you can turn ultimate not all aliens available Omnitrix 1- 30 aliens on the 10 each template Fusion- can do fusion on command instead of glitch Omnitrix 2 future- 50 aliens faster transformation Ultamate omnitrix- no change of charater needed you can youse powers and combose at will

[@sandridi]

Theres a few things in my life that made me get worked up and this video is one of those things. the idea is an absolute banger, This idea idoes not only give spaces to multiple different stories, fan fics, creepy pastas and some other stuff by letting the players create them but by also being able for the players to make, play it and having a whole campaing for the player to mold its story. Having your self in the game or a an OC with an so aclamated custom omnitrix is sick, also having 10 random different aliens by chance with each character you create gives out a different experience for each person, and could make them feel even more like an "ben". The only thing i think it would be bad would be if the reboot style would be added wich i hope it wouldnt be.

[@MrRonald327]

What a fun idea.

[@aceofspades8474]

I feel like it would probably be almost impossible to properly implement and make functional, but I like the idea of an alien x form that connects you to two other online players and two or more of the players have to input the same controls for the celestialsapian to actually execute the command, just like how they work in the show. It would be a pretty fun challenge to play with your friends as a celestialsapian and have to work together to get anything done, miscommunication could be your ultimate downfall, it could boot you up with random people online but that would certainly be almost unplayable so there would probably have to be a way to pick specific friends of yours to help pilot the alien x. Of course the form would be really strong so even if it stands around doing nothing a lot its stats balance it out, but if you communicate really well and are able to properly control the from well enough to fight back consistently it’d be one of your most powerful options.

[@cryonotcryo2041]

I kind of want a free roam Ben 10 game that goes completely gta style, give the player an omnitrix with few limits, don’t force them to only have 10 aliens at a time but still make it so to unlock more they need to be found and scanned, of course there should also be a campaign as a lot of free roam games get boring after a while, and maybe the campaign could unlock secrets likes costumes or gadgets for your character, but I’d also like the possibility of there being a master control in the free roam version that’s simply there, no campaign completion needed at all, I also think it would be cool to let the player design their own character but don’t force them to be good, I know a lot of people would think differently about the omnitrix if they had it, sure they’d want to keep it away from people like vilgax but that doesn’t mean they’d save people from vilgax, give the player a lot more choice over alien design too, so far the only real differentiation we’ve seen is slightly in uaf like when Ben got diamondhead back but he still had the same rocky body as chromastone while still being diamond and not whatever chromastone is, and obviously omniverse changed most of the outfits because they brought that idea back, like how fourarms used to wear a T-shirt and black pants and then in omniverse he instead wore a tank top and even had the omnitrix symbol moved from his shoulder to his waist, almost like a belt, the same customisation goes with every alien though, take heatblast for example, red/orange rocks on a normal coloured fire body, well maybe the fire could be blue and the rocks could be black, maybe black flame white rock or even the other way around, maybe like how in the reboot, Kevin’s version of diamondhead was purple the diamondhead in this game could be whatever colour is wanted, maybe even let the player choose the aliens proportions, but either way, this kind of game would be really cool and a nice way to attract the older people who used to enjoy the show and games

[@Sbevewagon4493]

Personally I like the idea that you are a second omnitrix user being trained BY Ben (like/alongside Kenny) instead of Ben not being there because if it’s a Ben 10 game you have to interact with Benjamin kurby tenneson

[@theefriend]

I would buy it. I like the power balancing, you explained that really well and it sounds fair for all parties involved

[@coleodonoghue2981]

Question: if ur fighting a boss that’s an alien can u scan it and use that alien or is it just normal enemies also if u scan maltruant or the other rouge chronospaipens (I definitely spelt that wrong) could u unlock clockwork?

[@LUSProductionsOfficial]

I like the idea of all of this! Knowing the Ben 10 & Ink Tank's community, it could become a group project fan-game at some point in time. Although I think losing Master Control instead the Omnitrix in favor of Alien X is a bit better than the latter.

[@maxzapsgamingzepzeap2337]

I think the in-universe reason why Celestialsapien forms aren’t as OP as proper Celestialsapiens should be because you’re constantly arguing in that weird time bubble thing Celestialsapiens are in when they talk to their other brains, thusly the Voice of Love and Voice or Rage will only allow you to do certain things

[@scivoid]

This pitch sounds pretty ambitious and perhaps wasn't really intended to play with realistic expectations, however I think it would be kind of a mess to design around. A much simpler system would be to simply have each alien be a stand in for a typical MMORPG class (Tank/DPS/Healer) and you get an easy to use representative of each role to start out with (for example, Humungosaur/Feedback/Grey Matter). As you play the game you can complete quests or collect resources in order to gain access to other aliens. Making the acquisition of aliens non-random makes it so you can actually play with the goal of getting a specific alien and working towards it (like Warframe). A unique advantage of an MMO like this would be that if you don't like a particular playstyle, you can simply switch out to any of the other classes you have unlocked without having to create a whole new character. I would entirely remove any time limit or glitches on omnitrix transformations as these mechanics while lore accurate would be frustrating to deal with in a game. What if you're doing a raid with your guild and an encounter takes too long so now all of you have to sit and wait before getting on with the rest of the raid? What if you have an enemy who is specifically weak to fire so you want to use Swampfire, but the watch gives you the wrong alien so now you just have to sit there and try again? It would just be a whole lot of waiting. When it comes to having a defined set of 10 aliens at all times, it's not really necessary. You can simply have people swap to any of their aliens from a menu with the caveat that you need to become human first which leaves you vulnerable in combat. Master Control could simply let you select 2-3 aliens that you can quickswap between. The limit may seem harsh but this way people can still create their own builds around a limited selection of aliens, making it so you can't be a master of everything. This would make PvP actually viable and not just a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors * 3. Builds is a thing that's not really mentioned in the pitch. I think being able to upgrade each alien individually would add more depth to the game and give alternative late game goals for players to achieve. Finding gear, spending points to unlock alien specific skills to define your playstyle would be a major driving force to keep playing. Some of the skills you unlock could even be Skurd upgrades, let you become an Ultimate Alien or gain access to fusions. For how would you explain all of this in terms of Ben 10 lore? I would set the game in the distant future when Kenny became Ben's successor and he's running a school for young plumbers. Each of you has a device that's based on the omnitrix but is more limited in functionality so it can't be exploited as devastatingly as the real thing. This "newbietrix" can be upgraded to gain more advanced functionality which is how you gain new aliens to play as or unlock new powers for existing ones. Everything you do is about you proving yourself as worthy of one day wearing the real thing. This way, each fellow player is just a plumber like you. Having the game set in the distant future means it doesn't have to justify it's existence in the existing lore. And you can have time travel to explore the classic, UAF or Omniverse eras.

[@Rose-yx6jq]

You really need to take this up with a game developer.

[@thepoisonprince]

What if one of the cheat is the fact that you ca turn into Alien X. If you can't beat a boss you turn into Alien X and then use a cheat code that is a word that will convince Belicus and Serina to help you defeating the boss.
