Sci-Fi Bounty Hunter Game Thread

Quite simple idea: you're some bounty hunter and you kill/capture some others to get money, reputation or both. If you got much money, you can buy weapons and other items. If you got much reputation, you'll get better missions which will give you more money.

I've thought of two kinds of missions. In the first you hunt some criminal. In the second you hunt some monster(some big one or maybe just really rare). Criminal missions gives you more money(because criminals have money too). Monster missions gives you more reputation(monsters are scary).

You'll start the game in some city bar/shop where bounty hunters usually gather around and look around for bounties and buy stuff. Some missions could probably happen in that city. Yea, you'll anyway need some money to buy some space ship to get in a mission outside this place.

There will be probably some 10 weapons. I've already thought of 4. You're wearing some Black Space Ninja Power armor which boosts all of your movement, including punching and kicking. So you punch someone and your foe flies 10 meters away and bumping his head in the wall and dies.

Then there's some hyper pulse pistol... maybe that's just a fancy name for a pistol, but it'll probably be some quite effective weapon.

I thought of a plasma blaster. It's some funky flame thrower. They're very effective, but they'll overheat very fast too. But don't worry, your BSNP armor can protect your hands from burns, the weapon might get damaged though.

The fourth weapon I thought is shock rifle. It shoots some electric shocks that makes people twitch and stutter. Enough electrics in them makes their hearts go crazy and brains jelly.

Ok, that's what I thought while I was riding my bike around... I think I rode about 35km.

So, what do you think? Would it be fun to play? Would it be fun to make? Are there much games like this?

I was thinking of making it for the Doomsday Engine

1000th post, yay!

Great mod idea, it sounds like it would be fun to play. I know Doomsday can handle 3d models & high res textures, but what map format(s) does it use?

Congrats on 1000!

It's still using the old Doom or Hexen format, WAD.

Thats a great idea, if you made it I would download it for sure depending on if I have the game... Never heard of the doomsday engine, what game is it from? It would be fun to play, and there aren't really many games like that so thats good that you might make one...

www.doomsdayhq.com you can find it. The engine can run all Doom games(except Doom 3), Heretic and Hexen. I like it, because it's quite easy to mod. I would make it a stand-alone for it, so you don't need to have some data file from Doom...

Aha, sorry im new to modding... This is what I understand (example): You use dooms coding and gameplay but you can use better looking textures and models?

Yea, though I'd make some new coding and gameplay for it. Of course I don't need to rewrite something like how the monsters move around(but I'll probably enhance it a bit if I can).

I think it would be a cool Mod. Though I think this should be in the Mod Ideas Forum I still think this would be a great Mod. I would download it if I had that engine and I could download things. Hope you can make it and I may just help you out a bit on the Space Ship thing. bye.

Hell, that works for me. Bounty hunters kick ass.
