Dagorhir Video Game

[Vors Nymphkilla]

I randomly came up with a concept for a dagorhir video game. these are my ideas thus far.


Weapons
Sword & board/ two weapon- analogue sticks to control weapons and shield. Shoulder buttons control throwing wraps, fakes, etc
Red- both sticks must move at same time for red, 1 stick for blue.
Armor- buy in a shop, disappears after first blue hit.
Archery- 1 stick draw bow, 1 stick aim. Strength meter- halfway mark for closer targets (shooting over half draw at certain range nulls the attack)
Greens- shoulder button makes weapon thrust (only if equipped stabby tips). One stick to aim, one to use power. Hold 2 shoulders to double green
Rocks and javs- FPS mode
Movement- D-pad
Shield kicks- only useable with specific button against mid to large shields
Hits- actually lose limbs, computer decides what is good.
Epic death- long button combo. Hit it and you get instant res and death doesn’t count against you

Character design
Fully customizable character bodies
Design garb with a certain base set and buy more as game goes on
Stats- based partially on weight/size/etc and part on ~20 free points you can assign. Limits to stats based on size. Speed, def, off, learning speed (tightens accuracy of movements), etc

Buying stuff
Store to buy garb, armor, weapons. Can buy base materials and make your own stuff. Minigames to make stuff from patterns.
Get money based on winning tourneys, killing people, and achievements. Lose money based on deaths and random events like broken weapons, and camp raids

Bosses
At specific points in the game, there will be bosses ranging from local heros to national veterans to whole units at once
*Blackhawk
*Jari
*OoT
*Rome
*Dominus
*Warthog
Losing gets you nowhere but there is no penalty. Win and your fame goes up and you get a big cash increase (increases depend on how many times you tried before winning the challenge)

Challenges:
-Duels
-Beat a whole unit
-Follow the leader (throw the same shots)
-Winning battles/tournaments


any more ideas to add to it?

A video game about Dagorhir would be akin to a video game about cosplayers dressing up as Ken and Ryu and pretending to throw fireballs

only if you design a rock that looks like a fireball. sure you'll have a bunch of LARP people playing and making a bunch of loser looking characters but its the same as any sport game. people make what they think is cool and the people who actually play the sport make something practical.

Yeah but football isn't fantasy anything, Dagorhir is fantasy something, why not just make the real something into the game?

what do you mean? build yourself as a character? most people will probly do that but want to make other characters too. id love to make someone like Zephyr who can run fast and jump high because he's smaller.

nvm good idea, just don't think it would work as a game
