Idea Men - final V3

[@grasshopper36948]

that storm chaser idea genuinely sounds fucking awesome

[@Mr2ndgene]

For the storm chaser game too they could add side objectives or missions that go like “lady needs you to retrieve something from the house thats about to be fucking demolished” or “this institute needs data from this twister where you have to be in the most dangerous area for a certain amount of time” or even ones like “this guy wants you to to explode their neighbors house because he hates them” something like that

[@Laromlab]

i appreciate the name change, now i can tell ppl what im listening to without sounding like im having a stroke

[@sirdraco6542]

For photography games, I found Umurangi Generation's spin very simple but very clever, where it's a game about taking photos of specific things as it usually is, but the levels are specifically laid out enough that finding the specific angle plays out like a sniper game, so even though it's not about creativity, at least the challenge of "getting the shot" is laid out better as a challenge than it usually is in something like Pupperazzi, Pokemon Snap or Crush House. Also, just for your own entertainment, the controls and lenses the game gives you are pretty decent; it's still the only photography game I've played with manual focus control.

[@Novacanoo]

Agreed, Umurangi is also based and hates colonizers and facists so it's basically the perfect game.

[@skep2923]

Crush House is also kinda similar to setting up a sniper shot, or I’ve also heard it described as “non-violent Hitman.” Trying to set up a shot that will best give all the audiences what they want is a really complicated task, especially if you get opposed audiences.

[@mkoookm1]

If you guys are keeping with the cardboard aesthetic a very funny contextualization of the storm chaser idea is that it is like a toddler throwing a tantrum and ripping all of the cardboard up and throwing things

NEW FINAL V3 WAKE UP GUYS

[@caramelldansen2204]

epic profile pic :3

[@caramelldansen2204]

I love the idea of a near-future dystopian driving game where it's 2-person co-op where you're battling AI and maybe other players in improvised vehicles with machine guns and shit on it. It's like a Halo capture the flag with Warthogs kinda vibe, but the game is really a commentary on gig work, and the flag is a food delivery app thing where everyone is fighting to kill each other just so they can be the one to deliver le borgar to someone's house for a meagre paycheque! I think that's epic and also le social commentary!!!

[@luckyomen]

Think about the van in Phasmaphobia, but with a driver, side seat, and then 1 or 2 guys in the back monitoring things like wind speed, path projections for the storm, maps that have things that will improve the value of the footage (like cows swept up in Twister), and social media, that way they know who to target based on which opponent driver is stealing the most footage.

[@princepeachfuzz]

the old logos are so fitting lmao

[@DonChups]

After too much Burnout on my ps2, I really believed there was a game about GOLF, but balls were CARS and instead of clubs you put RAMPS to jump from. You had to drive the car to the ramp with the right speed to get a good shot, etc. That game never existed. I hallucinated myself into believing it existed.

[@teamneerd]

52:26 This would allow you to put in an actual mechanic for fastening your seat belt too

[@jacobbohl192]

The talk of Twitch integration has me imagining an old skool dungeon crawler that pulls people who are active in chat randomly to put them in control of enemies in combat.

[@jumbles1986]

On the topic of racing games and ideas, I wouldn't worry so much about being original. It's FAR better to do something cool well than it is to do something original.

[@Turn4theWorse]

A storm chasing game where it ends up with both players yelling at each other in panic fumbling trying to keep their car together and take out items

[@Tkmined]

43:20 There are absolutely a few storm chasing games out there. The one I know of is just called Storm Chasers (i think) and you have to drive around and take pictures of thr tornadoes. You get more points the closer you get, and you also get points for debris in the shot.

[@skep2923]

Aw, that’s an awesome sounding game.

[@Sierra-579]

finally, a use for apple podcasts

[@pancakification3610]

Safari chaser was AMAZING and I played it to completion one night at my local arcade when free play was turned on.

[@mrmr_zoomie]

I can picture the storm chaser game going up to four players with like a four seat pickup truck but the more players you add the more batshit insane the game becomes

[@pepsicorp-se]

i fw these guys heavy

[@BoschingMachine]

The temptation to just blatantly steal the game idea near the end is palpable, that sounds soo good and I just wrapped up writing a jerky crazy taxi like car controller that's multiplayer compatible.

[@BearToeWasTaken]

23:25 i fuckin love the jokes like Sam saying hell DMCA your family and Noodle's deadpan "Gun"

[@bounceysteve]

my brain cant run this episode well Good episode

[@redlik5617]

I didn't know about Sam before this podcast and It is mind-boggling how I've seen or heard of every single project he worked on and thought they were neat

[@scottymcm]

Listening to this podcast and having experience in tech integration makes me want to do it with video games just so I can tell at it like Sam does. I just don't know where to start on my own.

[@s1lverposting]

1 player is the storm chaser, but their camera is controlled by the 2nd player who is the storm

[@plussum3255]

Love this pod fellas :)

[@Kane0123]

A LAN only or self-hosted game would be so sick. Would allowing hacking and modding to be such a community thing that wouldn’t hurt anyone… is this enough to push you guys to undertake a still ridiculous task?! Really hope you guys make a game

[@SqrunkTrep]

I'm not even 9 minutes in and Sam is already proposing some weird-fuck twitch integrations for what was it a 50k dollar project? This is a wild one.

[@beat-man5167]

JUMBO SAFARI!!!!! The sega game you're talking about where you drive a jeep to lasso wild animals. That game was neat! Sega AM team was innovative with arcade driving games. There was also this Ambulance game, Emergency Call Ambulance. The things that happen in the city that you have to drive through is chaotic. Clinton was a patient.

[@JP9067]

Storm chaser as a couch coop would be amazing

[@DEKANIEVES]

Hell yeah, not sleeping is paying off

[@bounceysteve]

who up finaling their v3

[@mikoroonii]

i wonder if it would be funny to graph out their spoken wpm to see how excited they get about Co-Op Storm Chaser Game TM

[@dk240996]

Wonder if Julian saw the Raycevick "I love racing games, they suck" video with how he talked about there not being much room to create "new" things in the racing genre.

[@ElminsterCourtMage]

This is my idea about the storm chasing game: it’s a multiplayer game where different people or teams of people are all trying to get cool pictures of the storm while simultaneously sabotaging other people/teams and at the end of the game or match or whatever everyone submits their final photo and everyone votes on the photos (except their own) and whichever photo gets the most votes decides who wins and gets the most rewards. The rewards let you upgrade your car and your equipment and get better at surviving the storm and other people

[@captainyeahyuh9969]

You don't even need to give the other vehicles guns, just have them ram you into the tornado like its most wanted. Phenomenal idea tho

[@SandwichCake]

Game Development Is Easy EPISODE - AT 13:50 "One thing i'm grateful for is that im not an ideas guy"

[@llenastro5986]

calling it b# is god tier humor and i don't know if they realize

[@matteoziegler7632]

it is funny indeed... can you now please tune my guitar to Fb

[@fumofromflorida]

FFXIV did something similar to what was being talked about at the 20 minuet mark with how they ended the original version of the game ending its service run with the world being destroyed in game and the servers being shut down afterwards, they later on made the current version of the game in a different timeline n stuff

[@swj719]

Sorry, but I will absolutely have the role of "guy walking around with an 'The End Is Near' sign"

[@haziebrvh]

Steve Jobs wake up new finale v3 episode!!!

[@janodacentury]

i need this storm chasing game yesterday

[@johannesviljoen9656]

43:00 oppy literally says "not another one" as you get to her shop and throughout the game its mentioned. this happened in the lore, if they announced this game tomorrow, i wouldnt be surprised. i would also pay money for it, that would rock. hell, make it co-op; cameraman and driver!

[@johannesviljoen9656]

this doesnt get out of my head. you could have a 2-4 player co-op (driver, navigator, cameraman roles) and it starts as regular stormchasing, then other people show up, then the others run you off the road, then you can buy pistols (adding gunner as a role) to ruin others tyres (or kill them), then you can get rifles and shotguns built for murder more than sabotage, all the while the storm is getting more and more supernatural, the whole thing culminating in grenading other people into a worldbending storm in an improvised APC while chasing the most interesting parts of the storm, fighting it the whole way to get the coolest photo/video. i want this game now, i might make it at some point

[@johannesviljoen9656]

if you lot dont make the storm chaser game, i might steal it a bit, adapt it but steal it.

[@pilote_989]

i want this tornado chasing game to exist so much holy moly please asus say yes

[@BrownGravy23]

I have an idea that i've been slowly building for a racing game that doesn't suck

SAVANNA!!!!!!!!!!

Shoutouts to yellow taxi goes vroom

[@abhishake24]

WAS A LITTLE LATE BUT WE HERE NOW

[@LytzyBitzySpider]

It sounds like yall watched the movie Twisters about the storm chaser idea, not sure if there are other movies like it

[@callsignapollo_]

There used to be a TV show called Storm Chasers, on the discovery channel, there were people who legitimately did this during tornado season. They had a flatbed truck with a portable radar station for live updates on the storm, and a truck they had mounted a ton of steel plates and bulletproof glass onto to make a storm proof camera turret they could drive into the storms. The chase truck got heavier and heavier over time until it was basically a steel trapezoid with a glass dome lol

[@AttemptedPants]

I would play the fuck outta that storm chaser game

[@johannesviljoen9656]

44:50 content warning but with cars

[@YT-Lucas]

2:08 - Sam, you started off sounding like a very reasonably-minded person who has spent a passing minute thinking about commitments and goals, I would like to subscribe to your newsletter! *20 seconds later* ...have you... made a multiplayer game before?

[@YT-Lucas]

*2 minutes later* oh, definitely going the right direction, now. How about f2p as well!

[@YT-Lucas]

Oh my goodness, where this idea ends up in less than 10 minutes is... 😂 This is someone talking themselves into jumping their bike off a cliff, convincing themselves it will be a safe landing on the other side! I love it. 😅

[@ecotanimate4149]

Call it storm chased please.

[@GameDesignDan]

I would extremely like to play the storm chasing game

[@CoIIecting-Dust]

Ok but pokemon snap rally racing goes hard and if I don't see this build in a year or so I'm taking it. It will be mine. I will make it.

[@Vaguelocation3612]

I would play that game, have my liver, it’s worth at least five cents.

[@brother-man-will]

If you choose to do the storm chaser thing, play My Summer Car. Might give you some inspiration!

[@spec_soup1193]

would play storm gaming sounds fun and cool

Anti peta racing game the cars are animals with wheels all the items are animal specific based on diet or skeletal structure

[@S.m1cha3l]

About the Opponent AI Part: Why does no video game give the players the option to create their Ai (obvl. gamefied), it would inherit your habits, skill level, name and quitks. Then you could couse AIs of friends or (with codes) viewers to play against + randomizer. Those AIs also would have ratings for skill, sportsmanship, etc. Then the AI is not to strong or bad it is just that u need to chose another and it as more challenge. Forza has its Drivertar System, I am baffled that they did not implement it.

You said multiplayer, and co-op is in fact multiplayer. But seriously the stormchasing idea sounds gteat.

[@skep2923]

9:48 understatement of the century Edit: is some of the car game hesitancy maybe coming from the negative perception the vast majority of kart games have? A company doesn’t want to potentially greenlight *another* dime-a-dozen, shit-ass kart racer.

personally I'm not as into kart racers as other kinds. that and like. ctr and mariokart exist. we've already peaked

I'd honestly make the argument that the racing genre community has kinda been supplanted by the speed running community as a whole. Why seek out racing games specifically when every game can potentially be a racing game?
