It's about time I posted another Game Idea thread, so here it is:
a little bit whoah, a little bit whay: THE GAME
As usual, I'd ideally base this game on a GTA3 style engine, and set it in the East End of London during the late 1960s. The aim of the game is a simple one: to make some dough, innit. As a rogue street trader specialising in 'moody' goods you must spend your days acquiring stock or selling that stock on the streets. As 'the wife' gets increasingly demanding, you must make more moolah to pay into your funds. If you fail to keep her in the money, she beats you to death with a kipper... game over. You also need to pay off the local protection racket, especially if you want a steady supplier of off-the-back-of-a-truck goods. Again, if you can't make your payments, you'll find yourself at the bottom of the Thames wearing concrete-sneakers.
ACQUIRING STOCK
To make cash, you're gonna need to get some stuff to sell, there are various sources to get your supplies from (other than robbing from shops and passers-by!)
1)LOCAL WHEELER-DEALERS: These characters will make themselves known to you throughout the game, with different characters appearing in different parts of the city. They have totally random goods which they will give you as payment for 'oddjobs'. Stealing a puppy off an old lady in the street for the wheeler-dealer's son will earn you a shipment of Soapy Suds. Stealing him a car will get you a bulk load of jewelry.
2)GANGSTERS: As long as you behave well in that gang's 'manor' ie dont go shoplifting or mugging, they will give you the chance of 'goods-stolen-to-order' for discount prices. If you even help the gang out, then you will be rewarded with further opportunities for extremely cheap goods. But be warned, you can only work with one gang at a time, with each gang specialising in different goods.
3)MARKETS: If you make allies of other street traders, they'll offer you good deals on bits of their stash... y'know, you rub my back, i'll rub yours...
#There are 50 different types of good available to trade with. Quality, quantity and price all vary throughout the game.
SELLING STOCK
Now you got a lock-up full of moody goods, it's time to get the wonga rolling in again. Unless you've got hold of something specific for an individual customer, you'll be selling mainly at the following spots:
1)MARKETS
Sell to crowds of customers at the fixed market price.
2)ALLEYWAYS
There are certain alleyways where you can fence your goods in bulk. This will be to various gangsters and other street traders.
OTHER WAYS OF BRINGING HOME THE BANANAS
There are also other ways to make your sum of cash turn into a bigger sums of cash, the game isn't just about being a shop-keeper.
1)GAMBLING
Slot machines, greyhounds, c***-fighting, horses, poker games, casinos, bingo... all worth a whirl?
2)COMPETITION ENTRIES
Various pay-per-entry events where you can compete for a cash sum: Dragster racing, banger racing, illegal no-holds barred pit-fighting, high-stakes poker and Mario Kart Tournaments!
3)SIDELINES
At various points you will be offered various sideline jobs... this might involve throwing a brick through the vicar's window on a weekly basis or perhaps following the milkman on his rounds, stealing it off the doorsteps and setting up a popular stall for all those people who didn't get their milk!
EXTRA OBJECTS AND ITEMS:
Ultimately, if you make enough cash, you will monopolise all trade in London and have completed the game. But you can spend some Queens Heads along the way... if you can't be rsed to nick it...
1)WEAPONS
Always useful, always the same: shotguns, pistols, stink bombs, swords, axes bla bla
2)CARS
This isn't GTA. You can only occasionally manage to steal a car, and even then you will have risked your head being driven on. Get yourself down the 2nd hand dealer and invest in a moped, car, minivan, caravan, whatever...
3)WIGS
I don't know why. Except that I've always wanted a wig-shop in a computer game. And this is nearly the end of the thread. And I'm no longer sure this would make a particularly interesting game.
