Howzit. I have had this idea for a game for a wile now but unfortunately my programmer friend is over the idea of making games. I am hoping that some people on mybroadband team up with me in making what I think will make a brilliant game.

The game so far would be called “Stick ‘Em Up!”
It’s a First Person Shooter, shoot ‘em up with the most random funny storyline to rival the monkey island series but with a difference, all the people in the game are stick men (Please just check out the pictures before you go away!)
The cool thing about the enemies being stick men is that you would have to focus on head shots to kill your opponents, this adds an element of skill to the game.
The idea is that the game will be as fast paced as Quake 3 Arena yet with a really funny entertaining storyline.
You may notice the lack of texture and colour in the mock-up pictures, this is not a mistake, the idea is that the game wouldn’t have much texture but have splashes of colour here and there (The blood and fire for example) a bit artistic...
I really think this would be a hit especially at LANs as I have grand ideas for multiply and maybe even co-op.

So anybody interested? If you don’t agree please don’t go away just give me you ideas and views. I'm generally looking for programs and 3D modelers as I suck at programming and can only make models in Google Sketch-Up but I am good at graphic design so I can do textures, and graphical stuff.
But lets no limit it to those professions please if you want to join post away with what you cant do and you ideas.
 
This looks awsome but to be totally honest would be best suited to a flash game (which is powerful and fast enough) which you can practically make it all yourself as its easy in flash (Will obviously connect to a online server for the multiplayer aspect). My suggestion, make it in flash. Oooh then once in flash port it to Java so we can have bluetooth stickman wars!
 
hmm...sorry, already working on a game.. don't think I can help.

Really? I never knew flash had 3D

You could go down the isometric route :)

Does anyone know how difficult it would be to develop this with SilverLight? Don't you have access to DirectX then?

Edit: If Id can put Quake 3 in a browser, how hard can stick men be :p
 
I don't like the idea of using flash, I don't think it is powerful enough, and definetly not silverlight, its too basic and not used much.

lol, i dont particularly like flash. But do a bit of research before claiming its powerful stature, i have a friend who wrote an aeronautical plotting system in flash :) Its powerful.
 
wow aeronautical plotting that is someting.
Its not a spoof, it just I think realistic graphics will detract from the substance of the game, and Im not that keen on a engine mod because I want it to be its own game, so to speak.
