Q: What makes BR fun? (Battle Royale)

[Myrddraal]

Pfff. No pressure for the next game then...

Thanks though, I appreciate the appreciation.

ATPG's current BR style game, Resident Evil: Dark Falls is my first taste of the genre. I don`t think I could ever enjoy another one now that didn`t have some kind of overarching storyline to it.

Oh boy are you in for a surprise.

There is tonnes of storyline, especially with the recent ones. Once the player count gets to 10 the game write ups go insane. I hope you like reading 3 pages novels just as much as I like writing them.

One thing that I'd like considered;

I know that Split advocated earlier that the map never shrinks. I think some people have some ideas about putting a time limit on the game. One thing that I personally wouldn't enjoy is if all the remaining players in a game came up with the same idea: Let's hide and wait for someone to come to us. Sure, it's suspenseful... for the first couple rounds. Then, as the months go by, some people might start to wonder, hey, where's the action? And wander off into someone else's trap. I don't want the game to be decided by a player's boredom threshold.

The idea of food is a good one. You can only hide for so long, then you need to go get food. That way no one has an advantage. And, I'd also add that you cannot find food twice in the same tile unless you actually have visited a minimum number of other tiles first... say, ten tiles. Now, the amount of food and how long it lasts, how much you're allowed to carry; feel free to tweak it. Everyone finds 5 bits of food per tile, or perhaps only 2. They can carry 10 bits of food, or 15, or a max of 5. Adjust as you see fit. But let's not make it a stalemate because everyone decided to hide in a tree in opposing corners of the map, that's all I really ask.



Also-

I wanted to be a berserker who wielded a giant pizza cutter in Zain's game. It may have been against his creative vision... but I think players should be able to add a little flavor to their character, within reason. Just my preference. If I can play as a comical parody of myself, then I really get into it more.

Seconded

[Myrddraal]

KillFr3nzy tried it in one game, it certainly added... flavour... to his character.

GAH!!!!! will someone please start a br now. i need more than just one br going (if atpg even counts, its more like an actual video game)...... and this thread is just making me angry.

[Askthepizzaguy]

I'd better freakin' count! That's like saying "I'm not sure this, the most massive redwood in the world... counts as a tree."

Just dropping by to say that ATPG's game is also the first BR-like game I'm in, but I'd very much like a spot if you guys plan on hosting other games in this style..!

[Beefy187]

Sorry for thread necromancy, but I'm wondering if you are going to host a BR soon?

I'm planning to host a original game which is kind of like Battle Royale..Mixed with a mansion. Story line and map is already done and I'm pretty much ready to go if there is enough interest.

I just need go sign from BR hosters, 12 very active and willing player, dozen more of players who doesn't have enough time but can make a small contribution to the game and perhaps few helpers who decides who wins the battle and stuff.

[Myrddraal]

Go for it Beefy.

Zain has had to take a break and I'm more than happy to wait for your game to be over.

[Beefy187]

Thanks Myrddraal
It should be fairly short and should finish within a month.

I'll get it up and running within 3 hours

[Thermal]

sounds nice, I pre sign up.
