THE GRAND BATTLE (The Video Game)

I figured why the hell not make a thread. We talked about it at length in the IRC, so if anyone wants to fiddle with this idea feel free. Remember, this is a discussion thread! Feel free to offer new ideas, argue for or against existing ones, and... y'know, discuss things.

This post is reserved for how the game will ideally work: features, mechanics; in essence, The Big Picture. The information contained herein is liable to change, though if it's in this post it's probably a good idea.


High Concept
Several beings of varying origin and ability are forced to fight through a series of environments that change as they die off.

Game Summary
  • Adventure RPG (a la Mass Effect, The Elder Scrolls, Fallout 3, etc)
  • Real-time, 3rd-person
  • Real-time combat? Turn-based? Instanced?
  • Realistic or semi-realistic art style (?)
  • 3D? 2D?
  • Equal focus on Conversation, Combat, and Exploration (individual characters may have a preference)

Proposed Features
  • All classic characters playable (include Non-canons? Unlock requisites?)
  • Branching dialogue system (again, like Mass Effect) for ease of being a huge asshole, but only to some people
  • Custom character/Grandmaster/round creator/generator (how would this even)
  • Mode: Grand Battle ("canon" set-ups, or a "campaign mode" of sorts; would probably need to play through these to unlock other modes of play)
  • Mode: Custom Battle (Pick the contestants, pick the Grandmaster, pick the Rounds - or just set everything to random, if you're The Organizer prefer)
  • Mode: Grand Clusterfuck (This would be a very late unlock - throws all characters and rounds into a single long-ass battle)
  • Mode: Big Fite (Everyone (else?) is a god-moder)


Here's a list of all the shit everyone else already thought of, in no particular order:
