Game Idea (Not sure if this is the right thread)

[ghostandmachine]

I come up with game ideas from time to time but have no graphical skills to speak of. I'm just a bit over a beginner in python/pygame programming so I guess I'll just pass this game idea on. Came from a dream that I had last night.

Title: Punch-Out: Street Brawl (title pending)

Mac (former boxer from Punch-Out for the NES) takes to the streets in a beat-em up (like Final Fight) to find his kidnapped girl. Along the way he runs into some old friends (Glass Joe, King Hippo, etc) and comes to find out that the leader of the game is none other than Bald Bull.

I had this image of the story telling going and when a "boss" fight comes it turns to the old third person view with the camera behind Mac to mirror the original game play of Punch-Out.

Also, no aqua gloves just taped hands. This is a just. lol

Where you asking for help from people who do have graphical skill, just bouncing the idea off others?

I'm no help programming at the moment, but if you're making it sort of old in graphics as well, you could modify the original sprites. If you want 3D models or something, I suppose that's another matter...but I suppose the most difficult part of this would be the character faces. Poser 7 has some neat modeling tools like mapping a picture around a 3d head (faces that is). I don't know if that can be exported to a game engine though. Well anyhoo, best of luck. Don't forget Mr. Sandman lol.

I love it, great idea

it was a combination of bouncing the idea of others and seeing if anyone really thought it was good enough to actually work on.

3d models I think would go a little bit away from the classic-ese of the game. I'm a retro player till I die so I'm thinking a 2d setup. But it would be cool to do a camera turn in a 3d-like realm when the story for boss stops and the boss fight begins.

Anyone else have anything to go with it?
