Hilarious, original game concept

Post by **Vympel** » 2003-05-22 08:25am

Evil Genius

It doesn't get much cooler than this. Play as a Dr No type character, building up your secret base, hiring minions and powerful henchmen, in an attempt to take over the world by building a Doomsday Device. Protect your Base of Doom from smarmy git enemy agents- from James Bond wankers to SEAL teams.

Very tongue in cheek.

And based on the Republic engine.

Game is ahead of schedule. Middle of next year release planned- has already been in development for a year.

There's already a card game styled like this called "Before I kill you, Mr. Bond" done by cheapass games.

Basically, you play a villian, and you try to build up the power of your lair to capture spies who come to destroy it. You get points for capturing spies, and you can double the point value of a spy by, instead of killing him outright, taunting him. Unfortunately, other players can play cards that screw you over when you try and taunt a spy, and you could wind up getting your lair blown up. Fun little game.

Where are the sharks with lasers on their heads though?

The sharks are in there....you have various items which vastly increase the power and evilness of your lair, such items like cappachino machines, ice cream trucks, wet bars, and evil henchmen child day care centers. And most importantly of all, a disco ball.

that game is fucking funny, why does it remind me(from the description) of something like rollercoaster tycoon?

Wheeeee!

And Republic engine to boot. This game is going to totally rock.

That looks like a lot of fun, and hilarious too. It's ironic that I had almost that exact idea a few months ago, only with a sci-fi setting. Sort of like, you're the Mother Brain, and you've got to build a base for Samus to try to get through, all the while hatching pirates, pirating, researching, etc. Only with a slightly larger scale, into the world of strategy games, where you have more of an army, have to build individual ships, gain resources by pirating, build multiple bases, send ships around to find stuff like metroids and phazon. Of course, that's a little bit complicated if you want to get to the level of an empire at any point, so you can have SE4-style ministers. And you always have to worry about opposing armies and space hunters, so your main worry would always be your main base.
