Idea for Dragon ball game:Tell me what you think

[shonenhikada]

Character's Looks:

















Storymode wise:
Game will follow a similar layout to DB advance. Their will be a main linear laylout (straight line that follows) the main storyline but at different points along the story mode branching points will come out (player decision) that will lead to what if scenarios and tie in with the movie.



Example includes:
What if Super Buu had successfully absorbed Vegetto.

What if Tullece had faced Freeza


Gameplay:
Simple 2-d Fighting. Combining DB advance fighting system with Pocket fighter animation and artstyle:

I think you'd benefit a lot more from posting in the Art section, because as a game idea it's very vague. Nevertheless, you could start looking for ways to introduce those characters in Dragon Ball games before Budokai (PS2), or even Legends, since you are more inclined towards art. By the way, is there a general purpose "Game Ideas" thread?

How is it vague ?

You want a fighting game with adventure, and yet you haven't enlightened us on things that are different from Dragon Ball Advance, because according to your art, it's going to feature DBZ characters, who can fly and shoot screen filling beams and spheres. You get alternate scenarios like Vegito being absorbed, but does that mean we're going to play as Buu as well? Do you get to absorb him mid-fight or is it going to be a story event? How do you branch stories to other endings? Too many questions to be answered, and you could start quoting each and everyone of them, but I'm not going to feed you, because I think it's not a good idea to build your game as people ask and criticize things. Assume that they never have questions, and so you have to motivate yourself.

By the way, the drawings are great, and if you have a thing for alternate universe concepts, try drawing this concept of a potara fused character: Truhan (Future Trunks and Adult Gohan).

1) Well for one its not going to be a adventure based side scrolling beat'em up where you fight a bunch of goons each stage and then the boss. In the video I posted I'm taking primarily the fighting system/engine from DB advance/pocket fighter and combine it with this animation. So the fighting system would be more closely aligned to Budokai 3 system.

2. Similar basis as budokai 3. You have story mode sessions for a set number of characters in the game (Vegetto,Majin Buu, Gohan, Piccolo, Goku, Vegeta). Within the story mode you play exclusively as that character. The what if scenario for Super buu absorbing vegetto would come into play when you play Super Buu story mode. Depending on whether you win the fight after a certain time limit you'll unlock an alternate bridge in the stoy mode where buu successfully absorbs Vegetto. If you don't the story continues with you fighting Goku and vegetto inside Buu.

3. Well there was a timeline for DB which connected the movies to the main storyline. So for example. Goku arriving on time to combat the saiyans (before piccolo dies) would unlock an alternate route in story mode to "World's strongest storyline" instead of going straight into them leaving for Namek.

Very nice! You've got some homework done, so I'll just swallow my own words. I really like the Dragonball timeline you presented, because I've done similar things with the Sonic franchise. I can't discuss things further though, but keep going.

It's an interesting idea, but I don't really agree on how you split up the story events.

[MCDaveG]

Well, we've got simmilar stuff in Legacy of Goku.
The characters were chibified this way.

I doubt they're the one who made it, I found this picture on Reddit about a year ago.
