While We Wait: Part 3

[dldnjstjr]

ah... are they abandoned or still up and running, but delayed? i quite enjoyed the GameNES in particular.

 

[Luckymoose]

Delayed. Not dead. I will say when I kill them.

 

[carmen510]

Hopefully that will be delayed. If possible, I will post my full game info, after some sweet precious time over Thanksgiving vacation.

I'm thinking of new NES concepts which would probably suck badly if I brought them into fruitation/modded them, but would be a memorable experience in your hands.

Zombie NES (In the scale of World War Z)

Something more in-depth, yet still pretty simple in the form of www.peacemakergame.com

Working not as a huge company, but as one single store

A Penguin/Polar Bear war NES (Yeah right )

Global Warming on Earth

Something based on World in Conflict

A court-based game, like Phoenix Wright, but would be a forum game, rather than an NES, which is more uberly powerful.

BTW, uber is German, but what does it mean in German?

 

[North King]

A Penguin/Polar Bear war NES (Yeah right )

Which would ruin the whole point of the animal diversionary stories.

BTW, uber is German, but what does it mean in German?

Just what you'd think. Over. Above. Über. Unter is under.

 

[Lord_Iggy]

A Penguin/Polar Bear war NES (Yeah right )

Like ZPNES?

 

[carmen510]

North King: Thanks.

LI: Hmmmm.... Perhaps.


I have a nice little debate, how would you determine technology/technological advances?

Would they have a fixed number of funding, or just be like random events? I'd like to hear opinions on this.

 

[The Strategos]

It is my impression, though I will freely admit it could be a wrong one, that fixed funding for a specific goal did not occur until the modern era.

Before that, it is my impression, though again, I could be wrong, that "scientists" (and I use the term loosely), need 1) some minimum standard of education, 2) leisure time, 3) a patron so that their ideas spread.

 

[Chandrasekhar]

I want to host a NES like HeroNES eventually, but the Sci Fi project comes first.

 

[erez87]

I would be interested to see if a storyNES could come out of some NES based a little into the future when an allien invasion begins.

Something around Universe at War...

 

[Luckymoose]

Or a decent space NES.

 

[erez87]

Yeah one that lives and has good rules and storyness... and freedom of races

 

[Luckymoose]

I meant more a Freelancer type NES.

 

[a_propagandist]

A court-based game, like Phoenix Wright, but would be a forum game, rather than an NES, which is more uberly powerful.

This would be interesting. Everyone is signed up as a lawyer etc. We then argue cases. Those whose reps go up get appointed to courts. Precedents are set; our foundation is Western law.

For the good story writers, they can create a scenario; then, the lawyers would use the evidence to argue a case. AIM chatroom for cross-examination.

 

[North King]

Yeah one that lives and has good rules and storyness... and freedom of races

Gah. Expecting NESers to be creative is... silly, at best.

I meant more a Freelancer type NES.

I do love that game. You could run one of the companies, governments, pirates, etc.... and of course, no aliens, which helps. I always thought that in a sci fi NES the mod should not allow aliens except without careful planning so they were exceptionally different from humans -- actually alien.

Right, to sleep. Sorry for inflicting on you all.

 

[carmen510]

I once played Freelancer, didn't really like it. Then again, I was 5 years old at the time.

 

[Luckymoose]

That would make you at oldest 9.

 

[justokre]

Has anyone ever made a NES based of the Three Kingdoms period of China?

 

[carmen510]

That would make you at oldest 9.

Wrong.

I'm older than that.

 

[Symphony D.]

Has anyone ever made a NES based of the Three Kingdoms period of China?

I believe alex tried it once but I can't say with any certainty.

 

[Luckymoose]

Wrong.

I'm older than that.

Freelancer was released in 2003.
