Iris Ideas - Ultimate List
Post your Ideas on what can be implemented into iris to help it become the greatest homebrew game ever built. This game (as I'm sure many of you already know) was mostly made from scratch. A great achievement indeed.
Color Key
Red - Really Needed to help gameplay
Green - Extra Ideas
Blue - Wanted by another person

7. Ragdoll Physics
8. Fall Damage (Halo 1)
9. Text or Audio chat if possible
10. A stats keeper (total kills ever done, killing sprees reached, multi-kills done, etc.) then we can compare ranks of some sort (no skill increasing ranks though...just titles)
11. Deep voice announces small awards such as double kills or killing sprees (Halo 1 and 2, Unreal games, etc.)
12. Stealing weapons from enemies
13. Melee with Firearm
14. Melee's from behind do more damage
15. Shields and Armor (Halo 1 or Timesplitters Perhaps?)
Bots, Gametype and Mod Ideas
1. Better Bot AI and choice to select difficulty
2. Tower of Power - Shotguns only, a turret is placed in an advantagous point (The tower) and two teams fight for it to take control of the it
3. Zombies - One team (green, the zombie) has 1 person on it that is equipped with a close range melee weapon. The rest on red (The humans) are equipped with shotguns. When the Zombie kills a human the human switches sides to the zombies. The last human standing is the winner.
4. A Moddable Menu
For everyone that wants to make mods of the game
5. Capture the flag, Team Deathmatch, Racing (The First halo)
6. Different support on file formats
Things that probably WON'T happen
1. A level where the character launches himself with a
parachute and fights against enemies in the air
2. A Matrix style slow motion power-up
3. A level with dinosaurs
4. Start without many powerful weapons, but later on get
a Laser Pointing device with request of bombing to a pointed area by a Planes Squadron.
5. The possibility of controlling the mind of an enemy and make him do a task (Such as killing other enemies)
6. Some ironic situations
7. Mapmaker Not Possible without restricting the engine
8. An ability to go through walls
Story Mode Ideas
1. Overall Game Idea - You have to go to planets throughout the galaxy to buy new weapons and upgrade them, earn money by defeating demons, monsters, etc., liberate every dungeon until you find the "Ultimate Power", play in tournaments held across the galaxy to earn money and do many different side-quests such as retrieving an artifact or defeating a legendary warrior or monster.
2. Replayability Factor - Be able to replay the game with all items and upgrades bought from the last time the player beat the game.
3. Co-op - 2 or 4 player Co-op
4. Another Replayability Factor - Different difficulties for Single-Player and medals for beating levels on different difficulties. (Such as Halo 1 did)
Will post more ideas at a later time :cool:
Now post your own opinions people so we can add on to the list!!!...Or I will make everyone you've ever loved...disappear...
