In this sub-forum I see a lot of people with great ideas about videogames. My idea is that we should combine these great minds into one project to come up with a great game idea.
How are we going to do that?
Step by step.
Each two or three days (depending how fast the discussion goes) we'll be deciding on one aspect of our hypothetical game. How do we decide? Everyone can make suggestions, and at the end of the time period, we'll be voting for the best suggestion (or the one you like most).
Discussions will range from genre to gameplay gimmick and aesthetics. I've got a couple of ideas already, but if you have aspects of the game you'd like to discuss, just say so, and I'll try to work it in.
The first step will be: GENRE.
So, what genre should our game be? Are we going to revive the Turn-Based RPG? Make an awesome Third-Person Shooter? Or a brand-new type of Puzzle-Game?
Be sure to explain why you think your suggestion is the best, because you're going to have to win people over when the voting arrives.
(I'll post my genre suggestion later, since I don't want to muck up the OP with it.)
Edit: Just to be clear: we probably aren't going to actually create the game. Best we can do is create a basic design document. It's more about the creative process and good discussion.
