Some of you might know my game "The Kill Yourself Game". Some years back I started work on a sequel which is playable, but not uploaded to this site. I want to make a whole game of it, and for that I need ideas. I've been working a little on a version of the game programmed in C, but I've decided that the usual plot of falling from the sky, attempting to land in a mine field is not really a good idea.
So I want to ask you guys if you could come up with some nice ideas. I've been tinkering with an idea that the main character could get a curse that made him live forever and that he then tried to kill himself because living forever sucks. But I dunno -
so yeah, does anyone have some nice ideas, both story and game play wise?
How bout you walk around in a huge city and theres different ways to kill ya self, like walk in front of a car, go to the lion cage at the zoo, blow ya brains out, jump in a pit of acid, start a fight with bikers, eat food your evil twin made you and how bout you get a gore rating for how you do it and you get bonus points and dogs eat you and you can buy items like guns, poison etc etc, well thats all i can think of.
some one blows there nose and YOU want to keep it!

that was quite awhile ago (2002). i wasnt even here yet. however!...i did play it.
the game suggests that you get to kill yourself. the title screen suggests you can do it multiple ways. why then is the guy randomly in the sky falling with cannons and tanks shooting at him?
why not actually let the player CHOOSE how he wants to kill himself? jump off a cliff, jump onto a freeway into traffic (or in front of a train for that matter, bus, pretty much anything large and moving very fast), skydiving without a parachute
mmm physics goodness, ragdoll maybe?
style points for how and how well you kill yourself.
the immortality, trying to die, bit is great though.
I'm thinking something where you walk around a city/area/whatever and organize different items. These would have rippling effects on eachother leading to something killing you. The more elaborate(parts) to it the better the score. i.e. A car drives into a crane, that swings into a building that collapses on you. . .
this is a very unique idea for a game , it reminds me of the movie groundhog day. Man keeps reliving the same day and eventually he trys to kill himself by driving off cliffs, stuff like that. But its no use because he just ends up waking up in the morning, on that same day everytime he dies . or at least thats what i remember
i agree with everyone, you should allow the player to find his own means of death. a story mode would also be cool, where youre thrust into different scenarios, but free roaming IMO would be the best, and everytime you try to die, nothing happens lol. a train hits you but you just wake up and see that the train has derailed after hitting you, or you jump into a quarry and just get up after you fall onto a bouldozer
The knife-finger game, only instead of one of your fingers is your HEAD
Don't aim for perfection- you'll miss the deadline

well why does the custom controls for the keyboard palyer even affect the menu controls at all whats thep oint jsutm ake it so for the keyboard palyer on the menu screens everything is always up down left right enter regardless of the controls they set'
Why not go for the same as before but have different levels of difficulty ie. Level 1 hit the mine feild. level 2 Hit the shark infested lake, level 3 hit the dynamite factory and so on till you have to hit a single kitchen knife in a feild.
Wait!! I have a great idea! What if the game was to kill yourself?! FUNNY DEATH!
No just kidding. I know the topic.
My ideas would be:
Toolshed - if you've ever seen that part from the movie Twister you'd know.
Solitary confinement - EXPLOSIVE RUBBERDUCKIES?!?!?! WTF?!
A simple knife. - It explodes.
TNT in your pants - Where's my barn door?!
Boom stick? - goes boom!
I'm posting this at night, so if I'm a little bit crazy, just wait til' morning. I'm not really here right now, know what I mean?
