Developers, take note. This came to me in a dream, so you know its good.
(Name in progress, feel free to suggest one.)
Description: Its not really a 'game', its the purest form of sandbox. There is a town, based slightly off of a small city with suburbs, buildings, and farms. Everything is fully rendered and the town is populated by 500 people (for the sake of gameplay.) Players are the 'cameraman' a noclipping dude in punked out roman threads with a camera that gives you a first person(toggle to thirdperson) view of the whole town. Upgrades throughout the game involve higher speed, slo-mo, fast forward, as well as camera tricks. The whole game has one main storyline where aliens come to attack. There is 1 month (of real time but days can be skipped) before aliens come and destroy the world That's when you have to rewind because there's nothing after that duh. The last mission would be filming this epic destruction.
So what is the purpose of the game? You are a demi-god, and the God of Film wants you to make the perfect movie, but he has to test you. He gives you a lot of missions and the power of noclipping to do this.
example:
Misson 1: Beast in the bedroom.
The Jefferson's daughter gets quite a scare as a beast reveals itself in the room. But with courage, she uncovers the monster for what it is, a spider.
Requirements:
Angle shot.
Zoom in shock face.
A good build of of suspense.
With this information you need to find the Jefferson's house (by flying around town, and there will be A LOT OF SHIT going on, like an mmo made up of NPCs. Dialogue should take a good 2 years to script. There will be drama everywhere so the missions are endless.) and get to the required scene.
For this mission the daughter sees a monster, you need to go to her room and find a camera angle that makes the spider look huge. Maybe a closeup back shot, or a shot of the shadow on the wall. You can add music while you move too by buying tracks from a demi-god, God of Beats. After you film the event (maybe a good 2 minutes) you can go for bonuses like maybe she went downstairs to tell her mom and her mom is proud. Or she releases the spider or kills it. She'll always do the same thing but you don't know that playing the first time. Whateer its more than the required amount. You go to the God of Film and he rates it. You level up and get more perks like a black and white, heat sensor, floating nametags (for easy searching) and other things.
Online Play
The missions are different online. Its like Gmod where everyone (maybe 5 guys) goes around watching people. The host chooses the day, and the speed. But people can skip time or go back while staying in voice/text chat. They can go "dude go to day 15 the store's getting robbed! You needed this footage right?" Online play is really just to hang out to do the harder missions together. A later perk you'll get is the Peer, where you can splice footage off a friend's clip and use it on your own. This will be needed in missions where multiple shots are needed, like a fight or car chase.
So whatcha think? I reckon this game will be available in 2040 so we have a lot of time to wrk out the kinks.
