Does anybody have any good ideas for  project to start working on?
I had this idea for a third-person fighting style game, where you are a robot that escaped from the lab, and you can upgrade your parts and stuff for better abilities!

Or how about an arena style game? Your robot has parts which you buy and that will help it fight in battle. Then you verse other robots and you win money if you...win...I guess.

That sounds better. There can be bosses that you have to beat, too. And various power-ups that spawn randomly throughout the arena, like speed+, attack+, defense+, health packets, extra money or experience, or a ten-second invincibility power-up.

I like this idea!  

Another possibility is adding two-player battles, different moves that can be learned, or even different starting robots! Example:

Robot 1             Robot 2             Robot 3

Health 15         Health 30          Health 15
Speed 15          Speed 15           Speed 30
Strength 30      Strength 15        Strength 15

And then be able to upgrade them, raise the health speed and strength for your robot.

For two player, could we mak it split screen? Scrolling would be interesting. You could buy new and cooler weapons to put on the robots. I can design those, I like doing that. I can do most of the subtle graphic effects(for example particles) and also w weapon effects. If you want, I can also do some scrolling. Just see 'fall of civilisations' and yes, it's broken.

I was thinking that there could be a bunch of arenas with various platforms, ropes, or even traps. We could make it scroll as the character moves.

I don't know about the two-player thing, though. that would make it harder to do the scrolling.

Yeah that sounds fine. You could buy cool new weapons and then ammo for it. If you run out of ammo, you can pick some up on the arena floor. Is it going to be top-down or side-scroll?

Probably side-scroll. There can be enemies all around the level, and a portal at the end that takes you to the next level. We could even add some puzzles in there, like a switch that you have to find to open the portal.

There could be mines for traps. >:D Ka-boom.

As for upgrades, there is the possibility of fire, ice, lightning, and poison as special effects to make your robot more powerful.

I would probably prefer a top-down idea, as that would enable us to make a more expansive map, move around further and see things from a different perspective. Maybe there's some spawners chilling in the corners of the map that you have to destroy. Once you do then a hole will open up in the middle of the arena and let you win the round.

Ok. help us brainstorm.

I'm wondering about the game to be 8-bit, I forgot, I know how to make 8-bit stuff! 

And about the music, I make dubstep. My youtube channel is Duelmaster360.

Aha! 42nd Reply! But I don't really want dubstep in it. I tend to find that many people don't like it...

Agreed.

I highly doubt it will be 8-bit.

I do 16 bit usually, similar to what you may see on Nitrome. I could work on making the enemies.

We probably won't be doing any pixel art, 8- or 16-bit.

Well, I'm totally useless for anything but scripts, then.
