This but set in France in the Cyberpunk future of France where your office is set up just outside Notre Dame Cathedral where you solve Cyber-Catholicism related mysteries involving historical and cultural references to the Notre Dame but updated to fit within the Cyberpunk world.

Screw it, let’s just make a Comedic Cyberpunk-Detective Martial-Arts game. Everybody wins!

I, for one, am disappointed that our first game can’t both be Martial Arts and Comedy.
The world is not ready for Rush Hour: The Licenced Video Game (in the 80s somehow).

Wow, I’m really glad to see all the discussion so far!
I love a lot of these ideas, and I think depending on how compelling, thoughtful, and/or funny your ideas are, you could really sway fellow voters. Also, your name can gain traction in this way, before the voting round where the name is chosen, even opens up.
Plus, there’s nothing that says your ideas can’t be used on the next game / vote.
But, most importantly, just so everyone knows,
Vote 1-1 CLOSES TODAY AT MIDNIGHT
(Wednesday, 1 February 2017, 23:59)
-=Voting Time Lengths + Improved Voting System=-
In order to keep the ball rolling at a steady pace on these votes, I’m probably going to aim for the following:
- Vote Part #1: Game Concept <== 2 days
- Vote Part #2 (NEW): Name Pitches <== 2 days
- Vote Part (#2 +) #3: Name + Development Stages Sliders <== 3 days
Note 1: I’m combining voting parts 2 and 3 into just 3 to give you all more time for the funnest part, the names, and get the dullest part, the sliders, out of the way along with it. (It also gives readers a lot more reason to participate on the sliders stage. And, the sliders don’t depend on the name, so it won’t affect the game that much.)
Note 2: I’m adding a new Vote Part #2, in order to give people time to pitch their names or revise them. This will also hopefully create a fairer voting platform, so that all the names are up for consideration at the same time the voting opens. (Also, I’m not certain I can edit a vote in progress, without destroying previous votes?)
This way an entire voting process will only take a week.
After this, I’ll probably take somewhere around 5 days to a week to prepare the following update.
(Obviously, extended breaks will come up, if I’m under crunch-time or gonna be away for a while.)
Anyway, next time, I will check back in with the results of Vote 1-1 and open Vote 1-2.
Tune in Thursday, when you all can start officially pitching your names!
=> Vote 1-1 RESULTS <=
(I believe the voting results are visible now, if you want to see the exact percentages.)
##- Topic -
Cyberpunk with almost 50% of the votes!
##- Genre -
RPG only just barely beating out the others.
##- Platform -
PC with 2/3’s of the vote.
Now we have to come up with a good name for our Cyberpunk RPG on the PC.
#=> Game #1 Name Pitches <=
Game #1 Name Pitches will close on Friday at Midnight EST.
(Closing: Friday, 3 February, 2017, 23:59 EST)
To pitch a name, just write a post right onto the forum!
Add your name idea for the game, and if you want, a little description or explanation to go with it.
(If you already wrote in a name earlier, and you don’t write anything new in by the time the poll closes, I’ll just use that name as your submission.)
Technically, you only get to officially pitch one name per voting process, so as to keep vote lengths down.
HOWEVER, this does not mean you shouldn’t feel free to remix other names that people pitch to try and improve on them. If they’re funny or something to me, I’ll add them in along with your official name pitch. If you’re not replying to someone else, I’m probably gonna consider that your “official” game name pitch. (I’ll always assume it’s the last one too.)
Once we get to the third voting stage on Friday, all of you will have 2-3 votes to give to the names. (It depends on how many people respond.)
I’ll probably check-in before Friday night, but until then, I’m excited to see what you all come up with.
Gridjacker sounds like an appropriately nonsensical cyber-buzzword title.

All the consoles have a mascot, and PC definitely needs yet another attempt at a mascot that encapsulates the entirety of PC gaming.

I’m tossing my vote in a hat labeled Circuit City.
I just hope it doesn’t put us out of business.

Darkjog, based off the hit Pen and Paper series of the same name, a dark and gritty game where magic and technology mix in a world taken over by Megacorporations. You play as a jogger, and one of your jogs goes wrong, landing you as a prime suspect in a murder investigation. Now, facing against corp-run cop squads and other joggers, you have to clear your name while at the same time taking jobs just to survive the gritty streets of a neon-lit 2004 Detroit.

Not too familiar with Cyberpunk, but let’s go with the not at all ridiculous name of Cybwargs 6022.

Nano-byte the first of many in the beloved Nano-byte series of games, where the main character works in cyber-security (like a Paul Blart) and protects cyber-space from the evils of MAL.

Ohhh, I get it, MAL Cop! I had to read that one a few times.
@Quintalian Gridjacker: Rated M for Mature
@tlarn Hacker Sam: He’s the greatest hacker of all time!
@Zaras I dunno why but it’s just funny to think the game is just about working sales in a Circuit City. And we should be fine until 2009-2012 at least.
@kalonZombie Gonna keep this idea for when we make a Comedy Motorcycle Gang game called “Wild Jogs”
@White_Coke Radio Shaq: professional Radio DJ by day, pro NBA player by night, ALL SHAQ
@Meteorga Oh no, with a name like that we a sure to suffer a heavy financial “Loss”
@NonBinding_Contract Oh man, my favorite member of the Tween Titwans, Cybwarg
@Mas lmao, Level 1 is just the player having to load floppy disk after floppy disk. Level 2 is where the real action having to go to buy a larger hard drive really kicks off. The final boss is having to pull the phone off of the acoustic coupler before the evil AI escapes to the net.
