Hullo.
I've been working on a map where you play some average person and go around and do whatever you want (What an original idea). I still haven't decided if I should make it multiplayer or a very super epic single player map.
At the start of the game you pick one of three heroes, and the only difference between them is their stats.
Features:
-Every street is named. A multiboard tells you what street you are on.
-House construction. After you buy or rent out a house, you can go to different stores and buy walls, furniture, etc. to place in your house.
-Cars run on gas. You can go to a gas station and buy more gas. Different cars hold more/less gas.
-You can use the arrow keys to rotate and zoom the camera.
-You need to be in your car to drive it. Locking the car doors will greatly decrease the chance of having your car stolen. Driving on terrain other than roads will decrease/increase speed depending on your vehicle.
-Parking lots. You can park your car in a spot (Not for free) where it becomes invulnerable and 'unstealable' but not drivable.
-Lawn system. Every x game days your trimmed grass turns into regular grass, regular grass turns into dirt, and dirt turns into rough dirt. Basically, your lawn degrades over time. You can improve your lawn by using a lawn mower, watering it, and planting grass seeds. Trees (Which you can plant yourself) also degrade with the lawn, and weeds may appear over time.
-Your phone. Through out the map you may notice different phone numbers written on signs, walls, etc. You can dial the numbers with your phone.
Buildings:
Heres a list of the buildings I've made so far and the clever names of them.
-Appliance store (Unnamed)
-InstaTree (Buy seeds which grow into grass, trees, etc)
-School (Adds to your stats, depending on which classes you sign up for and go to)
-Sofa King (Furniture Store, pun intended)
-Auto Dealer (Unnamed)
-Home Cheepo (Walls and doors for your house)
-Park
-Club (Unnamed)
-Pizza Butt
-Radio Shak
-Car Garage (Add mods to your car)
-Fire Station
-Police Station (Includes jail cells in the basement)
-Hospital
-Bank (Includes that drive-through thing)
-City Hall
-Public Swimming Pool
-4 Small Houses
-4 Parking Lots
As you can see from the attached screenshot, I have lots of room to fill. I need ideas on what else to put in the map and some more features, and thoughts on making this either a "multiplayer or a very super epic single player map." Any other thoughts or feedback is much appreciated.
Hopefully this thread goes better then my last Idea Factory thread.
Thanks.
