    Default Theme for New Game

    If we make something similar to TAO what sort of theme would be appealing?

    A Game of Thrones-y vibe (knights, archers, zombies, dragons, witches, nomads, etc)
    A Pirate vibe (swordsman, knives, rifleman, canons, voodoo witches, seamonsters, etc)
    A Risk like vibe (multiple unit clusters on a map like board, moves like an entire army in board game-y fashion)
    A storyline based fantasy game (community driven/written storyline as storyline develops new unit introduced/removed to keep strategies fresh)

    Something else? Ideas?

    I think the best bet would be to create an entire universe for the game. Doesn't have to be too detailed to begin with(Essentially just a map of a world with different named regions that we can expand upon in future champion lore) just a fresh world with an array of inhabitants. If we wanted to make a pirate unit, we could make a pirate unit from an island region of said universe etc. It would be easy enough to intertwine their stories and regions with some unit/character bios and lore on the website or app. This would give us essentially no limits when designing new champions and archetypes. Additionally, themes or skins for specific units could be sold to help fund the game through micro-transactions. I think I speak for all of us when I say that the pay to win model should be avoided altogether and that letting players choose to spend their money on aesthetic upgrades would be the way to go.

    Also need a title with the initials TAO. So if you got favorite words that start with T A or O post them.

    Maybe we can do this. Our GOP population would skyrocket and perhaps RG would find his way back.

    Themed rooms with stuff to kill in each one? or just pure randomness and you have to find the door out to proceed to another pointless room?

    Gotta say I love this idea... From a coders point of view, randomness is a perfect way of creating a long-lasting ever-refreshing gaming experience... You just need to find the right mechanics.

    a game that I am creating in my spare time. find the how-to-play >here<
