I really enjoy being creative and coming up with new ideas that others can enjoy. I have been playing video games on a computer since I can remember (literally it's one of my earliest memories). The possibilities for gaming are endless, as we have seen just over the last decade. As I was playing GTA V the other day, I thought, "Wouldn't it be awesome if they came out with a game with GTA's gameplay and mixed with the life simulation of The Sims," with that initial idea in mind, I began to expand on it.
The Synopsis:
At the beginning of the game, your character appears on screen and you can began tweaking he/she to your liking. Everything from the facial structure, body type, hair, personality, etc. Once you finish, it brings you to your birth and you must go through a tutorial phase of the game in which you are growing up. Here is where you can decide your lifestyle! Perhaps one of the scenarios in the tutorial is you as a elementry school child, hanging out on the playground and a bully begins to mess with a kid. From here, the game leaves you with the option to join in and harass the poor kid or stand up to the bully. This would implement a very interesting feature for each player to bring his character to life in this virtual world. As you grow older through the tutorial phase, you can decide to finish high school, drop out, go to college, etc. Thus, opening up new forms of jobs to the character as they finish. Obviously if you decide to go on to college, you can choose your characters major and based on your stats in the character creation depends on how well you did in school. Once you finish the tutorial, you are released to the immersive world to start playing. The whole idea is Grand Theft Auto gameplay with The Sims concepts.
Ideas and Key Features:
* Lifestyle Choices (Character stats: Health, moral choices, income, how many crimes you commit, drug or alcohol addictions, tobacco use, etc)
* Numerous jobs (Do you choose to be a criminal? Maybe you decide to become a police officer or a firefighter? Or become a multi-millionaire CEO scumbag! Why not try to be mayor of the town?)
* Implement the LCPDFR system along with a ranking and division system
* A huge open world map in a beautiful metropolitan city. (Not San Andreas or Liberty City)
* Fluctuating crime rates throughout the world
* Real estate, clothes shopping, gym, tattoos, barber shops, car dealerships, etc
* Settle down and get married and start a family. Or don't and have multiple relationships and play the field.
* Implement the same character switching from GTA V and switch to different family members, go out to dinner, go to the beach, tons of family activities.
* If you choose the criminal side then your character could get involved in robberies, murder, heist, drug dealing, arms trafficking, become a pimp. The possibilities are endless!
* Support game mods
* Possibly an online MP where you and your friends can live in the same neighborhoods or across town, hang out, enjoy your days off from work, or gangbang together.
These are just a few ideas I've thought up and I wanted to share this game concept with you guys. What do you think of this? Would you play? Put in your ideas and something you would think would be cool!
