Giant Robot Customization 3rd Person Shooter
>Feel/Inspiration
A lot of Armored Core, Gundam, Code Geass, general Real Robot anime tropes. Great emphasis on customization, in the vein of Armored Core, set in a futuristic dystopian cyberpunk underground megacity.
>Description
Customize your RaiGear from over a gorillion different parts and join The Rebels to fight back against the oppressive Mega Corporations in their bid to take complete control of the City and it's people. Fight through the story, or battle with up to 4 players online in deathmatch style arena battles.
>in depth
Customization would be a huge part of the game, defining what your machine can do. Would have a wide variety of weapons and parts, with up to 20 different attachment points for weapons. Like have missile pods on your mecha's hips, or booster engines on the lower back, and laser cannons on the upper back. Carry around giant anti-mecha swords and lock blades in melee combat. Swap through your weapons with a control system similar to Another Century's Episode. RaiGear are able to glide through the air, wall kick off of buildings, and dash around with their thrusters. You can equip flight units that allow you to ascend and descend. Funnel like attack drones can be launched to fire on enemies behind cover. When your RG runs out of ammunition you can still get in close and punch them with your robot hands at the expense of damaging the arm part.
Having awesome music would also be an important part of development. the AC games are known for their soundtracks. I want RaiGear to follow suit.
>Permanents
(Pic related, not mine) I wanted to have crisp, low-poly models, sort of like Cosmic Break. Primarily because it would be easy to do, but also because I'm a nostalgic faggot for the old Armored Core and Gundam games on the PS1 and PS2.
>Help and Brainstorming
Anything, basically. Really just putting my idea out there. Any kind of criticism is welcome.
