I am making a roguelike, where YOU are the emperor.Do you have enough iron will to beat all 100 floors of monsters? When you die, your game is over, and you must start again. This innovation allows for very tense gameplay. Wield many weapons, drink potions from healing to poison, and even enter shops to improve your gear.At the bottom of the dungeon lies the Sigil of Onra, which grants magic powers to its wielders. Prove yourself as the emperor, take the sigil, and return to the surface.Dislike my idea? Well, I'm very close to leveling up. And you look like just enough XP, haha.
has he returned?
>>40086191980 called. It just wanted to tell you you're a smidge too late for that to be groundbreaking, Arno.
>>4008619>empireFor a minute there I thought you meant an actual roguelike as emperor, where every day you must engage in vicious debates with the sentate where one wrong move could spell political catastrophe. Where you must make regular decisions about the workings of your empire, your economy, your military actions, and face the consequences.Every choice locked in, success is never guaranteed.But no, instead it's just another old dungeon diver.
>>4008764This anon's idea is much better, the thread is about this now. Congratulations.
>>4008764I always thought a management sim like that would be pretty great. Not a straight city builder, but with you as the emperor/king/minister who has to manage everything via proxies and policies. Not only are you charged with keeping the economy working, you also have to deal with corrupt politicians, fickle aristocrats, and shady merchants who all have their own agenda and are attempting to skim off the state as much as possible or secure supreme power. You have to balance actually keeping the state running while any of those groups could stab you in the back or just plot against you at any time.
>>4010618warsim is kinda like this. its basically some days in the life of a king. i just wish it had more intricate politicking and a more in-depth social and political simulation.
Suzerain is supposed to be like this, I haven't yet played it though.
>>4008764My first thought as well, almost got excited for a second there.
>>4008619What does anything about exploring 100 floors of monsters in search of the SIgil of Onra have to do with being the emperor of an empire? Like your post implies that the big innovation of your game is that "YOU are the emperor" but nothing about your game idea sounds any different from any other roguelike?
>>4014331> Assume the role of President Anton Rayne and guide the nation of Sordland. Amidst brewing international conflicts, need for reform, deep-seated corruption, and economic recession, you must make the decisions in this political drama. How will you lead? >Do you have enough iron will to beat all 100 floors of monsters? When you die, your game is over, and you must start again. This innovation allows for very tense gameplay.

>>4008619Sounds kino. Do you have a EA Steam page yet? Itch.io? Where can we follow development? Is the game name 'Roguelike EMPIRE'?
>>4008764>where every day you must engage in vicious debatesLike DE? How would that even work?
>>4008619>When you die, your game is over, and you must start again. Nope. Not playing it
>>4015732You sure about that? I'm very close to my next level, and you look like a good source of XP, hahaha.
