Here's a thread for brainstorming ideas for the Next Big indie game

King Of the Lite FM Airways:

Congratulations! You've just landed your dream job as DJ of your local lite fm radio station! But don't stop now! You're just getting started! Start out at the night time slot and work your way up to THE morning show DJ! Maintain listener interest without paying too much Kenny G royalties! Manage your muscle relaxer habit so you can sound smoooooooooooth but not dead! Show that jerk Jerry how a real DJ spins an Air Supply power hour! The throne is yours! Become KING OF THE LITE FM AIRWAYS!

Game where you're a martial artist going around to all the martial arts schools challenging the masters to combat to prove you're the best but it's in modern times and you're fighting people who teach kids taekwondo at the mall.

alexandriao


gane where you're a computer it guy in an office but the game is the persons computer you're trying to fix so you spend the entire game clicking "shut down" in game which closes the game, and then reopening the game, and hoping it gets you to the next level

super sweet best pal

I was going to suggest a modern era RPG where you dick around but I guess that'd be the new Yakuza game.

FutonForensic

great new game where you upload photos of departed family pets, who are summoned in-game as spirits who list every embarrassing thing you've ever done

FutonForensic

great game where you help a tiny but extremely virile man escape a pit using a new fluid dynamics system i call the CUMM Engine

How about a game where if you're alive in reality you're alive in the game.

I propose a game that has a properly planned development cycle, comes out when promised(without crunch), has all features included on day one and does not have any pre-order bonuses.

Why are you all looking at me like that?

FutonForensic

yelling at my programmer to add more "verisimilitude" so much that i have to go to the hospital


google THIS

Something that turns an established game genre on its head, but in a way that's more tedious than fun, like a first-person "unshooter" where you go around removing bullets from corpses, after which they get up and run away from you backwards until they forget about your existence. At the end the whole thing turns out to be a metaphor for the lead developer breaking up with their girlfriend or something.
