That's a realllllllllllly long paragraph.

*points at rules* >:(

Come on it took a while to write read it your gonna like it please :)

My game would be a squad-based first person shooter.

The story:

You're one of a group of highly trained soldiers with a very special purpose - a la Fantastic Voyage, you and your squad are equipped with extremely specialized environment suits and encapsulated, then the capsules are shrunk to microscopic size. Your mission is to defend the President of the United States from a similarly equipped terrorist squad that was slipped into his drink at a state dinner. In order to rescue him, you'll have to perform tasks ranging from the banal (fending off viruses or even the body's own immune system) to the unusual (repairing the damage from a terrorist-induced heart attack by transplanting skeletal muscle). All the while, you must be careful not to rupture too many blood vessels or interfere too strongly with the white blood cells, or you risk killing the man you're trying to save.

Just a reminder: A few hours left...

edit: competition closed, I'll announce who won soonish...

Carnival73 - Nice idea and Lemmings is an awesome game.

Ubivis - Sounds like a creepier version of Theme Park/Rollercoaster Tycoon. Hope you can get around to finally making it.

Saramakos - Heh, Dracula would definitely not be pleased if he knew what Vampires were like today :o

Bazilisek - Even if the idea of venturing into people's subconsciousness has been done before, it's still interesting. I like the idea of things becoming more and more distorted and having the main character transform as the game progresses.

tomimt - Haha, I guess you could even slack off at work and play games, so you'll be playing games while you play games!

acemarch - Definitely could result in an interesting game; there are very few games that deal heavily with religious themes.

TheCheese33 - Hilarious, makes me think of 25 Ways to Quit Smoking =D

El_Caz - I like it; it sounds like it could be a true survival horror game - playing to people's deepest fears. Anyway, as you know, you wrote much more than I was looking for, but regardless, you definitely came up with some great ideas.

Tallima - This idea stinks - and I mean that in the nicest possible way! ;D Also, I can't help but think of controlling Abe's farts in Oddworld.

Rooshandark8 - Great joke; I've actually read it before, several years back. Not sure why you decided to claim it as your own though. I guess plagiarism's just an acceptable thing at GOG...? =/

TheJoe - :P

Runehamster - Makes me think of Privates, but nowehere near as perverse. Anyway, I really like the idea of battles being held inside the body. Good stuff.

---------------------

Anyway, some great ideas. In the end, I decided to go with Runehamster
Definitely something interesting and could (possibly) work as a game. Overall, I think the idea of a microscopic terrorist attack is a fantastic one (pun possibly intended) and could lend itself to some great set pieces involving relatively large bodily organs. I can also envisage many interesting (and challenging) game objectives, perhaps some cool puzzles too.

Could you post your Steam email/Steam ID/whatever here so I can forward the info to lackoo1111 via PM. Thanks.

Also, a special mention goes out to El_Caz for writing an entire design document! :o

My steam I.D. is runehamster - thanks so much for the neat contest! I really appreciate it!
Also, neat, El_Caz o.O

I will second that thanks... even though I didn't win it was an awesome competition!

Hm, I can't seem to find your ID. Can you find your profile number instead?

If you don't know how - open the Steam client and click on the big "COMMUNITY" tab, then click on the "PROFILE" tab underneath that. Once you're there open the context menu by right clicking and select "Copy Page URL", then paste that somewhere, it should show something like: "ht tp://steamcommunity.com/profiles/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

the xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx is the number you need. post that here and you should be all set :D

thanks for the explanation, I doubt I'd ever have figured that out >.<

76561198019735937 this should be what you're looking for?

Yup.

I've contacted lackoo and...hopefully you should get the game soon...

Well done folks, some interesting reads

Thank you again!

Thanks for the contest, even if I didn't win, but I kinda knew I'd broken the rules a bit. Still, I didn't feel like editing the thing much because the idea I had in mind wouldn't go through that well with just a few lines.

Have fun, Runehamster! :)

Congrats, Runehamster! And cool contest - this was a $15 giveaway.
