You know, I must have overlooked World War Awesome, because that is quite similar to what I submitted. :/ (I do think it’d make a better side scrolling shooter thought. 😉 )

The Surface Mechanic would have been similar to a Trading Card Game like Magic: The Gathering (but in Sci-Fi).
The Idea wasn’t thought out well compared to Mokshu’s, so I wouldn’t mind if Zach did send it straight to the Trashcan.

My Idea hadn’t to do with anything Zach did before, but was not an Engineering game at all.
So… maybe he’ll try out a new ‘Brand’ some Time, but I doubt it will be my Idea.

Now that I think about it, my idea I posted seems to have some similarities to Ruckingenur as far as the military weapons and devices. Although, it won’t revolve around anything cryptic and the game is to create these things and not analyze or “hack” them.

Wow Mokshu, that’s got a lot of depth. Nice diagrams as well. In my opinion, the programming of the robot to travel a course or loop seems too complex. Why not give the player control or some kind of AI (artificial intelligence)? I think that would make it more interesting. Just a thought. Also, good job on the presentation.

I had a partial idea thats something similar to both World Of Goo and the Bridge Builder games, but the actual idea didn’t work in practice so I left it. Oh well.

I found this site just a short while after the deadline for the contest so I couldn’t have submitted my idea. I have seen and played a few of Zach’s games and thought of a game somewhat based off of some of them. It’s about engineering and creating weapons, vehicles and devices for a post-modern war faction. (Think final fantasy) You use electricity, energy and magic to create these weapons. It will use an interface similar to Silicon Foundry and a little bit of Alchemical Engineering. That’s all that I’ve come up with so far, no storyline yet.
