Game idea inspired by Star wars Forced Unleashed tech demos and idle thoughts what if there was a fps sci fi shooter game where everything * players, aliens, mechs * were all Euphoria style ragdoll physics things giving more freedom for things to do without a poor animator being overworked making animations for stuff another thing inspired from Force unleashed demos was DMM so heres my game idea
A sci fi shooter game where everything uses Euphoria style physics animations Mechs will be a core part of combat in the game with most multiplayer modes having stations where you can construct mechs using points you’ve acquired vehicles and buildings will use DMM technology and allow for great amounts of destruction the mechs are the only things that use the physics movement and DMM at the same time lots of things would be possible with this I.E shooting the pilots of mechs through the walls the Euphoria movement thing would allow the player to do stuff like grab onto ledges when falling or do rolls and stuff to avoid floor damage the results would be limitless
the Singleplayer (or some game modes) will involve alien creatures you have to fight off which also use the same physics movement the aliens will come in many varieties and of course will try and push and exploit the movement system to interesting results
The story would take place in the year 2116 where after discovering a strange human artifact humans come into contact with the artifact comes to live telling humanity it will make a deal with them: Vast knowledge of future technologies right now at the present Space travel and Mechs ETC but the catch is the people who wish to receive the knowledge will be teleported to an alien planet and all their bodies will be jellified and made wobbly and physicsy about 300,000 people agree to do so and are teleported to the planet Triaxis once there science and research were done and mechs, laser guns, jetpacks, and other sci fi things thought to be impossible are created after most of the tech mentioned was prototype a problem arised… Who would lead this new planet and empire? Immediately argument broke out and Argument turned into Mild fighting and Mild fighting turned to WAR! the humans there split into three groups
The Terran Empire- A faction comprised of Militaristic Individuals whose core goal is to bring order to the planet and focus on going back home to earth along with the technology created
The New Republic - A faction comprised of Rebels who want to Create a new order and core goal is to control the planet and use it as a base of operations to take over earth and put their new Republic as the governing command
The Techno Sovereignty - A faction comprised of Scientific individuals who want to advance their tech and bring peace to the planet and remain there to keep studying both it and create more tech
84 years later…
Times have changed as it turns out the strange artifact forgot to mention a few things namely 1. the New found scientific knowledge dwindled in power after a month whilst great knowledge was still there FTL tech was something that was hard to get and 2. it had also made this same deal with Sentient alien races now the Planet is in chaos after so many years everyone has kinda changed a bit
The Terran empire hasn’t - changed much but have become hostilely Xenophobic and are hell bent on eradicating the sentient alien species and eradicating them from the planet and The universe they haven’t changed much other than the Xenophobia and their goal remains the same
The New Republic have become more prominent throughout the planet but have become terrible engineers their tech is primitive and mostly ballistic based as opposed to the new laser, plasma and rail guns used by other factions they have become more akin to the empire in star wars
The Techno Sovereignty Have changed the most over the years become Fanatical Zealots over the Alien tech left behind by the precursors on the planet (the tech leaks toxic gas and radiation constantly and has turned them insane ) and have become more akin to a Scientifically superior Warhammer 40k imperium Luckily this Zealous protection of the planet is the only thing stopping them from Conquering earth and the other alien planets in the galaxy all their weapons and tech are hovering and laser/ energy based
The majority of the alien factions died due to the Terran Empire and the fact that two of them were fanatical purifiers who killed the other alien factions only one faction is left which was the most technologically superior faction known as the Xerza all their tech hovers (even when it doesn’t need to) and floats they have a neon color scheme and lined appearance and are insectoid in appearance They believe that the planet earth should be annihilated to prevent reinforcements coming to the planet after the tech has been delivered all these factors have caused a great technological delay and after those 84 years Technological development has skyrocketed once more and a race to gain FTL tech is afoot the conceptual mechs and laserguns of the past have been made reality and battle is ready to begin
This idea is a pretty neat one i thought to myself if large open world games like GTA and Red dead redemption 2 use euphoria maybe a FPS game could as well i dunno ask me questions for stuff related to that game if you want
