So I just had one of the most batshit insane ideas of all time but it's so insane I think it could genuinely be fucking GODLY.
Here's the doc if you don't want to read all this shit but this has exclusive stuff anyway so fuck you!/j
Anyway, onto the idea!
Everland, a hyper-advanced VRMMORPG you only have to pay once for.
Yeah, this is gonna be batshit.
So, first I'll take a deep dive into the tech.
The VR technology will be extremely advanced, with motion capture (feat. haptic feedback), an omnidirectional treadmill that responds to your every move, an exosuit/harness/whatever-the-fuck that allows for motion tracking and capture and, because why not, tactile feedback, so you can FEEL the game world.
Now, into the game's software.
First of all, proximity chat, because every game needs it, but not just any proximity chat; clean and realistic proximity chat. So if you shout, you shout. Also maybe add mouth tracking for that. Maybe an AI dictating the technical part of the game as well, giving you quests, suggestions, all that normal MMORPG shit, but also making NPCs and enemies smart. NPCs and enemies are self-aware and remember you. So don't fucking steal from them if you don't want an ass whooping.
Whew. With that insane shit out of the way... character customisation.
So there's about 20 different races and 15 different classes (mentioned in the doc), but also an aggressively robust appearance customisation system because why the fuck not? And no, you probably won't be able to fuck in-game, you have to be in the real world to do that. Now, onto the actual character customisation.
Races
- Humans (can do pretty much anything)
- High Elves (good with brainpower tasks)
- Wood Elves (nimble little fuckers, even better when tree)
- Dark Elves (good in the dark)
- Dwarves (physically extremely powerful)
- Halflings (bullshit dexterity)
- Orcs (berserkers, pretty much)
- Goblins (orcs, but with more focus on brainpower)
- Fairies (flight and magic and that's pretty much it)
- Giants (just big-ass, strong-ass humans)
- Gnomes (good as engineers and craftsmen)
- Trolls (basically just stupid giants)
- Beastfolk (basically humans, wood elves, etc. with other bonuses)
- Merfolk (basically underwater fairies)
- Dragonkin (awesome, tanky, awesome, dragons, awesome)
- Vampires (weak as fuck in daylight, overpowered under the moon)
- Angels (walking daylight and celestial magic)
- Demons (the exact opposite of angels)
- Robots (oh, they also feel pain and emotion now)
- Werebeasts (shift between other races and beast form)
- Amoeba (sentient slimes with growth potential, pretty much)
- Martians (also little green men, but anyway)
- Precursors (that look like insectoids for some ungodly reason)
Classes
- Adventurer (just a normal guy)
- Warrior (Adventurer but melee)
- Gladiator (fights for money, I guess)
- Paladin (religious Warrior)
- Soldier (Warrior with guns)
- Marine (Soldier but Warhammer 40K style)
- Rogue (pretty much just steals everything)
- Scout (best for stealthy builds)
- Ninja (Rogue but optimized for violence)
- Archer (Scout or Ninja with a bow)
- Gunner (Scout or Ninja with a gun)
- Sniper (Scout or Ninja with a sniper rifle)
- Healer (you get the idea)
- Mage (you should get it by now)
- Engineer (I don't even need these fucking brackets)
- Hunter (Adventurer but specifically for monster hunting)
Well, now that that's... that, let's move on to everything else.
Players will drive the economy and try not to go insane in the process. They'll also, of course, be a part of factions, further divided into guilds, which may go to war if they so please. Players can also buy houses in-game (no, not with real money, there are no microtransactions). And raid bosses will also appear and whoever finds it starts the raid event because yeah, fuck peace. Not to mention some of the NPCs might fall in love with players and become even more self-aware to the point of knowing they're in a game and actually wishing they were real... under the influence of the AI.
Well, that's it. That's the whole idea. Talk to you later. BYYYYYYYYYE.
