So on Sunday (Nov 13th) I was thinking about free divers, how they have to control their heart beats, kick frequency and various other rhythms. Thought I could make a cool rhythm game where you swim down into the darkness and tap the screen to kick, judge how much oxygen you use. See how deep you can get and still make it back to the surface alive, in one breath. Like tappety resource management. Lurky sea creatures and poo poo in the background.

I was basing it on Enzo (Jean Reno) from The Big Blue. Enzo is based on a real dude. Enzo Maiorca.




Whacked out a quick prototype. 'S ok.

This morning I was reading the obituaries, which is part of my daily ritual.



The dude died on the day that I came up with a game based on his portrayal by Jean Reno in The Big Blue.
Did I kill Enzo? Is he trapped in my game? Do I have a moral responsibility to publish the game? Who's next?

Do you think Wreck-It-Ralph was just a rigamarole video game concept? No. It trapped the soul of a homeless guy from the 1920's who went on a bender and wrecked the poo poo out of an apartment building. He was struck by the building superintendent with a hammer and fell to his death.

Please, treat Enzo's soul-code kindly.

He tried to play your game and failed, and in the realization he was an awful diver, shot himself.

Murderer.

You didn't kill him, OP, but if your game is bad he might be turning in his grave.

I suggest you hold your breath until his spirit communicates with you.

"Carbons? Purge? What are you talking about?!"

I don't think you can kill a guy by making something that kind of honors how cool their life is.

I killed Michael Crichton though. I was drunkenly ranting to a friend for probably a solid hour about how even though everyone loves Jurassic Park and E.R. most of Crichton's work sucks poo poo, has bad science and worse worldviews. I went on and on about how lovely and paranoid Rising Sun was, or how Timeline made zero sense as a story even within its own context. I ranted about his petty portrayals of his critics in subsequent novels as pedophiles with micropenises.

The next morning I woke up with a bad hangover to the news that Crichton had passed away. It was a running joke for a while that I'd killed him.

Funny enough you guys are talking about Jurassic Park because my video game concept is Call of Duty but with the terrorists/russians/russian terrorists replaced by dinosaurs.

Prey is like his best book ever because he tears a giant hole in the cheesy pop science and then drives a flaming Jeep into it as a makeshift depth charge.



dino crisis is nothing like CoD at all other than I guess the fact that it is a disk that you put in a playstation video game machine device

when i was a kid i thought the idea for turok was so loving cool that i read a strategy guide for it on the bus to a field trip, despite being a playstation kid with profoundly anti-violence parents


i ended up finding it last year for two bucks so i picked it up and gave it a try and by golly that is a real bad game there. wow.

but yeah. like, turok, but good? i'd buy that.


i'd DOUBLE buy it if it heavily incorporated freediving

All men live in fear of him and his Moxie.
I once had a concept for a game that mixed fishing and grand theft auto. You would be in a fishing tournament, and you could either fish like you were supposed to (think “Championship Bass” on PS1), or go around and mug other fisherman and steal their boats and fish.

I’d play a judge dredd x-com game.
