The Worst Game Dev Idea Possible

[lonequeso 1,921]

Ah! Excellent idea! We shall begin work on this right away. I;m sure you've heard of the knights of both Apple and Shovel, right? Well, there's a new MC knight, Mango Knight. He defeats dangerous toxins and evil in general using the power of mango's. A vast fully explorable 3D is being developed for the player to guide Mango Knight to the ultimate goal, creating the perfect all juice diet.

 

Fast forward six months, The company lost sight of the original vision of touting the merits of juice. Through a series of misteps and errr.. "misappropriated" funds the scope and vision of the game has changed. A lot. It is now a simulation game. You play as Pedro, a worker in an outsourced juice factory in Mexico. Your job? Take various fruits off an assembly line and put them in the correct piles. Being a true sim, the assembly lines always creep along slowly at a very manageable speed, and everything is easily within reach. Oh, and this juice company adds all sorts of unhealthy preservatives and sugars to it's products.

 

I would like to see a game where Hello Kitty must team up with Hong Kong Phooey to take down an international drug cartel.

Introducing a bullet hell game where you play as the head of an international drug cartel and need to fight against all sorts of fictional characters, such as Hello Kitty, Hong Kong Phooey and Mario, to get your deliveries made to the people addicted to your product! Beware of Hello Kitty's heart beams!

 

I want a game about making orange juice.

[lonequeso 1,921]

See: my last game dev. =3

 

 

I want to make a virtual reality fruit ninja game.

[JRolik 24]

It was created once virtual reality is available and is about ninjas using banana swords to attack you, and you have to fight them off with a juicer somehow. Or something.

 

Show me a game about the lives of cockroaches.

[Jeanne d'Ys 166]

Well, the game's about-- Wait. This idea sounds familiar...
 

Random game idea: The world has been destroyed by humanity's nuclear war, and the only remaining living things are cockroaches,
which has grown so advanced. Get on an adventure as a young optimistic roach.

In all seriousness though:

I Wanna Be The Roach. An "I Wanna Be The Guy" clone, except you're using cockroach with the difficulty ramped up, and giant hand shooting aerosols can appear randomly. Even on world maps.

 

A game about Pudding?

[lonequeso 1,921]

Sorry, there's no way to make a game about pudding bad. Just a fact of life 

 

The thought of pudding made me think of a terrible one though.

 

A game about Bill Cosby. 

[Saeryen 299]

The game is basically you run a business called Cosby Co. that prints dollar bills. It's super boring.

 

I want a game involving magical songs where the object is to rescue as many lost kitties as possible!

[lonequeso 1,921]

Awww you're no fun.

 

Okay magic songs to rescue kitties. Got it.

 

This shall be either a single or a multi-player game, but it is far better when played with multiple people. This is because it is just like the game "Rock Band." To play the songs, you need to play "real" instruments to try and draw the kitties to you. If you perform well, it's great. Instead of a sea of cheering fans, you will see a sea of adorable cats. However, if you play badly not on;y will the cats not come to you, but you have to watch as stray dogs chase down and kill them. Better not miss a note!

 

The absolutely horrific graphics of the dying cats cause not one, but two lawsuits. The first is a class action suit from angry families whose children were traumatized by your game.The second is from P.E.T.A. for glorifying animal cruelty. You also used instruments that had be patented by Electronic Arts without permission. They're suing you too.

 

I want to make a game where I'm actually nice to Saeryensong. 

[Saeryen 299]

Okay!

 

In the game, your character has to follow all of my orders. You find yourself making a billion sequels to my favorite games and adopting a bunch of kitties and bunnies (oh, and you have to do the cleaning the litterbox because I don't want to). Also, you have to use magic to make any characters I want come to life - BUT some of them you have to change their personalities so they get along with all the other characters. Plus, you're forcing some villains to go through redemption stories which they are NOT happy about. Oh, and you have to work a bunch of jobs so that me, the pets, and all the characters you brought to life can go to the Harry Potter theme park whenever we want.

 

That's what you get for being so mean, you meowy!

 

 

I want a game where the main character is...wait for it...ZUKO!

[lonequeso 1,921]

Well.. at least it's only a game. 

 

In the game, your character has to follow all of my orders.

That first line got me all excited    

 

Zuko isn't the MC in a game yet? I get give him his gaming debut? *madly cackles*

 

Wish granted!  Zuko is now the main character of a brand new adventure game. Unfortunately, the antagonist is Charizard. Beating Charizard is impossible. The object of the game is escaping before he brutally murders Zuko. That's almost impossible, and because the game is so poorly designed it is impossible to escape completely unscathed. The game also glitches frequently allowing Charizard to catch Zuko quite easily. Another keeps Zuko alive far after his HP is zero. Unfortunately, the player loses control of him. He just stands there. Charizard doesn't recognize Zuko's HP is below 0 either which leads to long periods of Charizard brutally beating Zuko for several minutes before the Game Over screen mercifully appears.

 

Penguins. Make me a game with penguins.

[Shiggy 630]

Wish granted! 

 

Between the zuko game and the lawsuits in the kitty song game,I think you really are mixing the 2 games .

 

PS:Don't mind me,keep playing

It has happend before that he goes awall and mixes all the forum games up! xD

 

In this brand new game you get be hunted by seals, with long loading screens and uncofortable controls you gain real insight into the life of a penguin (that more often than not you unfairly end up as seal food). The game also has a brand new feature, cuddling. Cuddle up to your fellow penguins to stay warm...... <.< yea nothing more happens really. It could more be considered a refuge from the unfair dinnertable...

 

How would you make a game about cookies, where all the characters are diffrent kinds of flavors?

[JRolik 24]

A band of misfit cookies [Oatmeal, Chocolate and Hazelnut, let's say] meet on a plate and realize they're going to be eaten- and so, they fight back using the magic of game logic and run away from the people trying to eat them!

 

Can I have a game about the gutter minds like to go to?

[Saeryen 299]

Okay, but the game in question is super, SUPER lewd. So much that the government deems it unsafe for anyone, no matter how old they are. You don't even have a chance to play it before it's banned from the planet itself.

 

I want a game that's VR, and it takes you to the Harry Potter theme park, and you can also visit an on-site hotel with the VR, so you can get the whole experience.

[lonequeso 1,921]

I get to destroy Harry Potter again? Must be like the 100th time  And it's VR so I can annoy Killozapit with theoretically unsound sound concepts of virtual reality and cyberspace. Double win! 

 

We're going to take this concept a bit further and go full Matrix with it. In order to play the game you'll need a very special console. That console is essentially a hole drilled into your skull and fitted with a jack that plugs into the system. Just being able to play the game requires dangerous and expensive surgery that would be considered things like "unethical" and "inhumane", and "illegal", but that's what back alley surgeons are for. So assuming you have the coin to get the surgery and manage to survive, it's time to play virtual reality Harry Potter. 

 

Now you;re plugged into the Harry Potter game and go to the theme park. However, you have to buy a ticket in this virtual world, just to get in the park and they're even more expensive than the real park. So, now you need virtual currency. You have a couple options. Either try and get a job and work until you have enough money to enter or turn to crime or prostitution. The latter two options will gain you the necessary funds quickly, but they are very dangerous. With prostitution you have to be careful not to solicit sex from an undercover officer. If caught, you get to spend some time in VR jail. The worst part about the jail is you are unable to leave the game while inside. Robbery can end you in jail or worse. You could die, and if the Matrix taught us anything, if you die in the virtual world, you die in real life.

 

Working a virtual job is the safer bet, but it will take oyu much longer. Sorry, the park isn't hiring. Seeing as you do not have a virtual high school diploma or GED, the best jobs you can get are food service and janitorial work. Or you can go to a virtual community college to get try an get the GED. 

 

Assuming you aren't arrested or dead and can earn enough money for a ticket, you finally gain access into the park. It is amazing similar to the real one. You spend the majority of your day there standing in line. Half the time you stand in line for an hour only to have the ride break down before you can get on. Food and drinks cost an insane amount of money so I hope you earned a bit extra! There are no season passes or even two-day passes for that matter. Once it's closing time the park closes, and you have to buy one of those super expensive tickets again. How fun!

 

I...I thought about this waaay too much. 

 

I want to see a game that is the sequel to the game about a band of misfit cookies.

[Saeryen 299]

The sequel introduces gingerbread men, and it's NOT pretty. The gingerbread men squeal in pain whenever someone bites into them, and it's sad because they all have different personalities and you grow to love the little guys. The game company changes the rating to I for Insane since both kids and adults were traumatized.

 

I want a game that's Barbie Explorer only the character is a mermaid and explores underwater.

[lonequeso 1,921]

i really want to play the gingerbread game.

 

Oh poor Barbie. Why does Saeryensong make more torture you so? 

 

Alriiighty then! Brand new underwater exploration game featuring Barbie! That should boost those Mermaid Barbie doll sales!

You start the game as Barbie happily swimming about. Things quickly turn dark as her home becomes the new site for a huge industrial corporation to illegally dump their waste. She quickly swims to her kingdom to seek aid from her father, the King. Unfortunately, since you insisted Barbie be the only character, the kingdom is completely vacant. There's no one to help her. Even if she could go on land and fight the corporation, there'd be on one to fight. The waste just keeps appearing at regular and very short intervals. You can still explore the world, but before long, it's a barren landscape. Every plant and animal dies off, and Barbie isn't faring to well. You can try to swim out of there, but once you go far enough, you are impeded by an invisible wall. You get to play as Barbie as she slowly dies a very slow and very painful death. Not only is the game morbid and depressing, it's also unwinnable. Epic fail. 

 

You know that red dot on those cans of 7-UP? Did you know that dot was turned into a videogame character had had it's own platformer game for the original Gameboy? Yeah. It happened. 

 

I wish to see a sequel to that game. Only this time, the 7-UP Dot is the villain. Dun dun duuuun!

[Saeryen 299]

Ohhh dear. The 7-UP Dot's thing is that it's jealous of the new blue dot for a soda called 9. So you have to protect the bottles of 9 soda from the evil 7-UP Dot. But the game is near impossible to play. The 7-UP Dot has all these weird attacks (including lasers, fireballs, ice, tornadoes, cyclones, zombies, and cute little reindeer plushies) that it uses all at once. You're lucky of your character can even survive it, let alone the soda you're supposed to protect.

 

I want a game where you play on a water playground like the one at Great Wolf Lodge.

[Cookie Ninja 374]

A game has finally been released where you play in a water park, bonus points for drowning kids! An-d..... n-o don't... Aaahhh, sorry for that folks. Angry mob outside my home, who cares that we actually drowned kids to record realistic effects for the bonus rounds! xD

 

 

Lol, ninjad xD

 

You play as a cocacola bottle  having to smash your way through endless hoards of fake brand bottles to finally reach the the mastermind. The 7-UP dot who is ploting to take over the gobal markets and then give the world diabetes. The game is so full of product placement and bad gameplay that developers had to pay people to play it. It was later banned because it presented  cocacola as a healthy bevrage.

 

 

I wan't a game that has no features what so ever! (Lets see how you solve that guys   )

Edited January 4, 2016 by Cookie Ninja

[Saeryen 299]

Okay. It's called "Nothing" and you turn on your console, only to see a blank screen. It gets really negative reviews for being so bland.

 

I want a game about knitting Zuko yarn dolls.

[lonequeso 1,921]

Yay for drowning kids! Yay for Coke vs. 7-UP. Oooo.. what if we merge them and make a game about drowning kids in soda? Yo get to choose your brand of soda a the beginning and enter a product testing contest to see which soda is most effective at drowning children!

Wouldn't that be awesome, guys? Guys? Hey.... where'd everybody go?  Why do people run from me.....?

 

A game without features eh?

 

*hands Cookie Nnja a blank CD.* There ya go, buddy. Enjoy.

 

Damn Ninja'd while talking about a ninja. What are the odds? 

 

Fine...knitting Zuko dolls. A game about knitting Zuko voodoo dolls to make him to your bidding and punish him when he's naughty. I know Saeryensong would love having a Zuko of her own to control. Maybe not so much after going online in multiplayer and sees all the terrible things I make my deformed (cuz I suck at knitting) Zuko do. Including killing her Zuko while riding atop of Charizard. 

 

I wanna play a game featuring Cookie Ninja as the protagonist. 

Edited January 5, 2016 by lonequeso

[Cookie Ninja 374]

hmm... there just is no way to make that a bad game. I mean martial arts and cookies raiding bakerys. See awsome no matter how you put it >_< Since it would be so easy the game dev went home and it ended up like super glitchy, in 1 of the glitches Cookie Ninja comes out of the screen and robs your house of all the cookies, beer and wiskey you have!

 

 

Damn Ninja'd while talking about a ninja. What are the odds? 

You are forgetting that the ninja you were talking about got ninja'd in his previous post.

 

I want a game with oddly matched concepts!

[lonequeso 1,921]

Yeah, but you get ninja'd all the time    Super irony! 

 

The voodoo Zuko killing another voodoo Zuko while riding a Charizard wasn't odd enough?

 

Okay a new game comes out with 3 main gameplay features. Multiple story lines with branching quests. Multiple character classes and online mulitiplayer.

 

There are 3 separate story lines and every quest has either 1 or 3 options to complete them. There are 7 playable characters and 21 classes. Online multiplayer features co-op with 5 total player. Versus mode features three maps and are fought through 3 rounds. Each alternating round, One side is down one player.

Okay, the new game is about the emoji and how he wants to protect all that is cool from the emoji. But is almost impossible to beat at the end, plus if you lose to you have to start the whole game over.

 

I want a game that's about rescuing, naming, and caring for as many bunny rabbits as you want without any violence and no rabbits die.

[lonequeso 1,921]

Lmao. What's with all the bunny rabbits all of a sudden. Didja get bored with kitties? 

 

Okay we shall begin work on Bunny Farm. You can round up and breed and care for as many rabbits as you want. You'd better get rid of them quickly though. You know how fast rabbits reproduce? If you cannot sell them quickly enough you find yourself overrun with rabbits. The game is very poorly balanced, and that happens no matter what. The bunnies literally fill the entire game space, crushing the PC to death. But at least no bunnies died. 

 

I want someone to make a terrible fan-based Undertale game.
