    You come down with your spaceship and then you got to shoot aliens that hides behind crates ! The colour theme should be mainly gray and black.

    Not the worst idea ever come up with for a video game (especially not on our forums) and although it's still very basic, you've got something to work on there... Probbaly not something for Lionhead at the moment.

    Re: how to contact people at lionhead for a new game idea

    Here just a couple of questions to help you advance your ideas....

     

    Why can't you leave the town?

    If you can't leave how do more zombies enter to stop them all being killed?

    Are there missions?

    Are you always in the same town, or will you eventually move on at a certain point?

    Can you break into ANY building or only certain buildings?

    Why did you not hear your family when they left?

     

    Also, in the way of names... Charlie and Charley...if you never see it spelt you have another name. Also as strange as it sounded to me my friend has a female friend called Dale which is also a males name...

    There ya go as a start.



    Me and Mortalitis...and some other guy?

    Re: how to contact people at lionhead for a new game idea

    Uh, well it sure is an interesting idea.

    Though it's too restricting.

    The current buzz word in the gaming industry is "open-ended" gameplay. I personally prefer open-ended RPG's so I'm glad more of them are being developed.

    Btw, if you want to somehow be a game designer, you should try applying for positions professionally, because unless you're already in the industry, or you have a degree in an applicable field, you probably won't get the job.

    If you're going with the "free lancer" routine, you need a professionally written proposal/plan that you can send. Most of the industry won't bother accepting such proposals though because they usually have plenty of their own sitting in filing cabinets somewhere.

    When I write a proposal, I use the inverted pyramid format. Starting with telling about the concept you have in the vaguest most generalized terms you can think of, and then becoming more specific as you go. Personally I don't think you'd have a lot of luck with that for the reasons I mentioned in the paragraph above though. So maybe you should get an associates degree in programming or something and then try to get a job in the industry.

    Re: how to contact people at lionhead for a new game idea

    Here is just another tip for you.

    Think how you can differ yourself from the competition. I mean the zombie concept is not new at all.

    Think about who your target is. I mean who is going to buy your game and why.

    Think who would be right to develop it for you and very important, don't go posting it on the internet just like that or you might find a version your game being launched in 3 to 4 years.

    It seems to me you are more into story telling than the actual developing of the game. If this is a career you want to pursue go ask questions. Try and get interviews. Find out what it takes and people got where they are.

    Finally, keep that imagination going Wink [;)]
