The Cheapest-to-make RPG Ever!
Sophie and I were talking this over yesterday while watching my brother play a game in which the area was "misty" - ie. everything was grey and quiet.
Thinking about this, if you could devise a game with the minimal amount of visuals, such as colour, shapes etc, and the minimal amount of sound it would significantly decrease the production costs of the game itself...
And from this springs our idea:
The game is played from the perspective of the main character - who is blind, deaf and mute.
Hence all you'd need is a black screen and absolutely no sound! And no visuals + no sound = pretty much no developmental costs!
Marketing, however, might be a problem...
Nah, we'll stick a character from Halo on the front. That'll fool em.
Ok - I'm off to explore this idea in greater depth.
Cheerio and Patent Pending!

hmmm? Sounds odd but interesting! n wats RPG?lol...cyas **
you could also make the character autistic, that way he wouldnt have to even try and interact with ne1 else, meaning u wouldnt have 2 make ne otha characters, or even a story really :P
also from a marketing stand point just put the name Peter Jackson sumwhere on it, that will make it sell millions even if he has nothin to do with it
Haha, awesome idea.
Hmmm... I like that idea... Now all that's left is to somehow get the government to ban the game and they'll surely sell like hotcakes!!
that shouldnt be too hard, just call it 'blind deaf mute autistic retards' or something equally derrogatory and the govt'll ban it simply for th title
well u could do it the gta way and put in a secret scene with a hooker... cept it would still all b black and silent
LOL!
And for a real twist we'll reveal at the end that the character was, in fact, just wearing blacked-out glasses and really good ear plugs. Not that he'd take them off or anything... that would require graphics.
or for another twist you could reveal that the character is actually inside a sound proof isolation chamber with no lights on :P
eh, I like it! Now all we need is a name for the game... and the character I suppose.
How about:
"Star Wars: The Wizard of Oz, The Titanic and the Wardrobe"
No no, that'll never sell! You need more sex and violence in the name! Call it "The Bloodening: Attack of The Giant Breast Octopus"
and it has 2 b a special edition, so sumthin like "Game of the Year Edition"
Yes, good - but now you're only catering to a specific gender. To increase sales we should call it -
"The Bloodening: Attack of The Giant Breast *Pony*" Special Gold Platinum Game of the Year Edition
Funny, that's a combination of words I never thought I'd type...
Now you're talking!
yeh but its only targeted @ a certain age, younger ppl would go 4 the breast and pony bits, but if u say "now with extra fibre" you have the old ppl interested
Oh now you're just getting silly!
Well I finally looked it up and it was Betty Johnson who sang "The Little Blue Man" in 1958. Scarily enough it was very popular for almost 4 months after its release...
Yeah, it's disturbing! I downloaded it the night after the picnic, along with "The Monkey's Uncle". Did you know that was a movie, and The Beach Boys were in it, and sung the song? I find that somewhat disturbing...
Merry Christmas for yesterday!
Hehe - and a Feliz Navidad to you as well!
(The radios were playing that song sooo often that it is now permanently stuck in my head): p
