I'm currently learning C# and XNA in the sole purpose to produce games for windows (and zune). Ive got some ideas, but I dont feel they will catch on and no one would want to play. So I come to the forums...

If you could make a 2d game, what would it be like?

Dont just say "Mario". Im looking for originality! The only limit is it has to be 2d (Im good, but not 3d good :P). And dont worry, if I use your idea, you will receive credit.

Example:
Its a 2d side scroller, where you the main character (a fat plumber) has to jump over obstacles and save a princes. But here is the twist, he has a time limit, must collect X amount of object Y, purchase upgrades, etc. I call it, Z.

It doesnt have to be a side scroller. There are other 2d games. Like peggle, soldat, audio surf (ish), and defcon, etc. :)

Its a 2d platformer side scroller (does that work), where the main character, a teenage female, must defeat robots and collect the parts from the robots after she destroys them and put them together to make upgrades (do add a creative touch, like you can choose how you play (long range, close range) depending on what guns you build with the parts) and in the end she saves the world :D

lol, 2d sidescrolling games are pretty similar

Mmm good point. Peggle is fun.

Make one like peggle. NVm bad idea. Idea, im about to go to work. Ill think about it.

Im a lifeguard so its the perfect job for thinking. I just sit there and watch people swim so ill think while i sit there today.
 
A side scrolling, space, shooting game...

You can move around anywhere on the screen, You know like, Up, Down, Left, Right. But the screen is constantly moving right... If that makes sense!?
 
No, hate those games. Guitar hero isnt fun without the actual controller.

doesn't have to be a guitar. something like games along the lines of GH and DDR. if you know what i mean. :P

hmmm. side scrolling. i do miss the old Megaman X games. a futuristic side scrolling game is cool too. :)
 
A game I would like to see is a side scrolling glider game, in which you start with a glider on the ground, get taxied out, and you have to then use aeronautical maneuvers to keep your self going, such as using ridges and thermals to gain attitude.

Basic aim of the game would be for distance, but also a point system for doing "tricks" and the such might be in order.
 
I'd rather play those Guitar Freak or whatever games at the arcades than that cheap guitar hero game lol.

metal slug type game but with the ability to upgrade/build your own weapons.
or an airplane shooter
 
mmm yeah maybe something like metal slug its a friggin awesome game- but just expand on some of the features- a money system where you could up your weapons and body armour etc.
 
Tomb raider Game with:

Being able to build your own house + Decoring it
Giving a full 3D Level Editor with the newest games
A exceprt of devil may cry 4
 
I'd say RPG, either that or a GTA style game. GTA2 was awesome... *delves deep into nostalgic thoughts*
