Mighty Morphin Dodonpachi Rangers!!!

[KiethSomataw99]

Whaddya meat it's a bad post. I put a lot of effort into this post. I tried to be detailed.

You want to add lifebars to Dodonpachi.

Lifebars.

To Dodonpachi.

You could always learn Japanese and then apply for a job at Cave as game designer or something.

Or maybe, just maybe, if he really tries hard enough, he could be "promoted" to janitor for CAVE because his ideas are gonna leave behind a big mess!

[Emuser]

Lock topic please, no reason to beat a dead horse.

[Deca]

Are you kidding this horse just rose from the grave like fuckin altered beast

[RNGmaster]

Keep submitting your ideas, and who knows, you might get a hand-signed letter from CAVE saying "We don't take game concepts from non-employees, and even if we did we wouldn't take yours." Hey, it's possible

Not gonna happen. Make your own dream game on your own - it's what I'm trying to do. Yeah, programming and sprite art is hard, but it's at least possible, unlike the prospect of convincing CAVE to make a game for you.

And what's up with suddenly changing it to Dodonpachi 5? Did the last two versions not work for you? I can already see it - "Presenting Dodonpachi 372, an epic fanfiction by Kieth Somata."

Well, it's all fun and games until someone rants about Dodonpachi. If he posts in that Atlus forum, the same story goes for this guy in this forum.

Short answer, bereft of any sarcasm: If you think you've got a good idea for a game, just make it yourself and don't shoehorn it onto anyone else's property.

Why?

• A: They won't make it for you.... PERIOD. (This goes for small-time basement/bedroom game creators just as much.)
  B. They won't thank you for using something of theirs without permission.
  C. If it does actually come out good, you get to reap the rewards... as opposed to facing off against copyright lawyers and more than likely losing months or years worth of work.

BUT PROGRAMMING IS SO HARD

For reference, our new pal Mr. Somataw has proved himself immune to good advice and common sense. When we tell him "You can't get Cave to make a new Dodonpachi", well, this happens.

I'd post some new criticism of his specific ideas, but trying to get him to see it the mature way is just a waste of energy. Let's stop being helpful and have a field day with this.

Look, I'm 16, and I'm mature enough to see that you can't get people to make games for you without having to do any work yourself. You also might be a bit of a Japanophile. If this thread keeps going, CWC ahoy!

[tinotormed]

Thought his thread title is supposed to be named DonPachi 6.

[powersoul]

Casper, you sure are evil . Mighty Morphin' caught my eye, and here I was thinking I missed out a Power Ranger shmup game in my youth.

[Zeether]

The Baka Rangers are better than the Power Rangers.

[Drum]

Please unlock his Deathsmiles 3 thread. It is just so precious.

[RNGmaster]

This is the most I've laughed while reading a non-Something Awful thread in a while. Thanks, Kiethsomataw99.

Was it you who created the Wikipedia page?

[Zeether]

Whaddya meat it's a bad post.

meat

meat

meat

[KiethSomataw99]

yes it was me who created the word on wikipedia, hoping that someday they would do that. I'm not saying that I should receive a lot of credit for my ideas. I'm saying is that I want my ideas put to use. They don't even need to mention my name on the credits.

[ptoing]

Seriously, do you think that Cave is reading your stuff on these forums or even the Atlus one? I kinda doubt it. And even if they would, chances they would do it are zero.

Not wanting to come across as an ass here, but them's the breaks.

Come on, don't bullshit me. You want someone to make a game based on an idea you came up with. That's innately selfish, so don't claim that you're just doing it to inspire CAVE and give them good ideas. Otherwise, why would you say "here's the story of the game I want you to make, get to it".

And the fact that you think that you have game design ideas good enough that CAVE will defer to you is laughable. You haven't created a video game in your life, and you're such freshmeat at the genre that you think adding lifebars would be a good idea. You think that a small elite team of people who've stayed afloat in a tough industry for 17 years will just read your post and say "Yeah, this 18-year-old from America has good ideas. We should put them to use." This is what you want. Doesn't this summary of your thought process seem a little bit... I dunno, illogical?

[BPzeBanshee]

shmups.system11.org - where you get laughed at and thrown to oblivion for silly ideas

[PROMETHEUS]

Funny how he seems to think his random, banal and poorly designed ideas are so valuable.

[powersoul]

Bring your ideas directly to CAVE, not to shmups.system11.org or Atlus, or whatever forum board out there. We folks don't make games, we PLAY THEM!!!

[Udderdude]

We folks don't make games, we PLAY THEM!!!

There are a few here that do both .. not that I'm saying I'd be into making a Dodonpachi/Power Rangers crossover with lifebars >_>

[Treasurance]

needs more inertia

DO IIIIT!
Lousy XOP reskin with a lifebar which basically just replaces the lifestock-number.

[Udderdude]

If I did, it'd probably be ShitShmup used as a base instead. :P
