I was just sitting around, minding my own business today when I thought about this. One of the main problems the last time around was creative difference. We couldn't decide on a story at all, now could we? Much time was spent going back and forth arguing about what should happen or who would be named what. That was not the only problem though. We also had a lack of leadership and direction, which was primarily my fault. I intend to remedy that as best I can. Furthermore, there wasn't a job structure, so it wasn't easy to tell who was doing what, or what was to be done at all.
As a result, I have decided to do this differently this time around. First of all, we're not doing a story-driven game this time around. Instead, to make collaboration easier, we will make a game based on the site in some way or another. We will make an online game in which you log in with your TDC account. Secondly, I will be asking for help in different departments, and then be assigning specific jobs. This should give the organization necessary for good teamwork.
Finally, we need an actual idea. My idea so far is to make the game a pseudo-3D world (similar to what would be in DC Chat if I had a decently working computer) in which people will log in, be able to move around, jump, and interact in multiple ways in different environments. This area will be the lobby. From there, people will be able to enter a stadium where they can compete in some sport (or multiple sports/games). Basically it'll be like those online games you find that focus around making rooms for playing, such as Kart Rider, Rumble Hero, or Tetris Live.
The project restart will not happen until later this week or next, so go ahead and comment on what I've said right now. I'll have more information about my idea later this week, most likely Saturday.
