I acknowledge that some of my ideas are a little strange, but this probably Takes the biscuit!
How about a mod/game based on caricatures of the world? Now most caricatures I’ve heard of have been people but a talented artist may be able to create something interesting with architecture and especially weapons.
Is it my imagination or are all the mapping and modding competitions missing Single Player maps? Valve have recently run their Deathmatch Map Contest with a $5,000 first prize. And of course there was the Make Something Unreal contest, but that didn’t feature a special SP section.

Here is another alien invasion idea similar to the Trust Mod Idea. However this story has a more detailed background that I have taken care to ensure is as realistic as possible. Too often in these types of stories the actions that either lead up to or happen just after the invasion are beyond belief. I keep saying to myself “there’s no way they would do that!”.

Introduction Although I wrote this piece moments after finishing Seeing in the Dark they are not really connected. One of the reason I prefer science fiction or non-reality FPS games is because it gives developers a chance to experiment with the player’s perception. Unlike a World War 2 game, they don’t have to make everything… Read More

A while ago I made a post about a film and game tie-in idea. The post made two points: 1. Make the storyline different but connected, so that somehow the game needs the film to get the full story. (But not the other way around) 2. Make the game require information from the film. Examples… Read More

Introduction I don’t replay games – ever! But if I like the theme and gameplay then I will seek out mods and maps for it. That’s the main reason I play PC games instead of console versions. There are many factors that effect replayability but in this article I will only focus on difficulty settings.… Read More
