These are just some stuff you probably want to have to make your game super great!
1. A title...Duh.
2. A basic overview of what you want your game to be. Is it set in the time of magic or guns? Will most of the maps be underwater, or underwear? What will the hero's name and class be? What classes or species will be in the game?
3. Now you need a plot. A plot is the "story" of the game leading to why you are doing what. An example could be that an evil demon is terrorizing the realm, and you want to stop it so you can become famous. Another example is that a bad-guy just killed your dad, and you want revenge. It is good to think of your own, new ones.
4. Some games have choices the people can make.Most people like choices so that the character defines them. For instance, if somebody liked being a holy paladain, they wouldn't want there character to be a thief. You should make choices that you can do that effect your character' sbehavior in the game.
5. Most good games need a community so that you can easily distribute news, or see the public's oppinion. Crankeye is a good forum, but you will probably need more then one thread. So you might want to consider having your own forum. I suggest trying
www.proboards.com or
www.invisionfree.com6. You might want a website also. They are useful for people to find past news and screenshots of your game. Even downloads. I don't know any sites however, but you can ask around or try Google. If you find a good one tell me
7. People don't want to see the same boring sprites and chipsets in every game. They like it when they see something new ( as long as its good ). This is the reason there is a "Rescources" area on the forum. Go there every once in a while, and request some sprites, battle graphics, chipsets, etc. Or, if your brave, try making your own. It is newness that couts. :wink:
8. The same on #7 goes for custom music and sounds. These also get boring after 5 or 6 games of hearing the same one. Try going to the rescource section and looking/requesting some. There are even some sites that let you create your own music. I know you can do it!
I will continue adding if I think of more.
