GDC09: Now's your chance! Pitch Jarvis & Seropian today, win a PS3

by Christopher Grant on Mar 26th 2009 4:45PM

Hey game devs – got any great ideas? How about a dual-stick shooter set in the late twenty-first century? Or maybe a first-person shooter about a super soldier fighting a religious war on a ring-shaped planet? Hey, those are both great ideas!

... but don't tell us, tell game designers Eugene Jarvis and Alex Seropian at the DePaul GDC Design Challenge booth. If you're the big winner, you'll net a PS3 and, of course, the admiration of your peers. We'll stop by the booth to find out the winning pitch, today at 4:30pm PT.

Clever idea on their part. They take like 5-6 amazing ideas from all the submissions and select only one winner. Then they take those 5-6 amazing ideas and make them video games. Really smart. +1

I got a great idea for a RPG battle system. But no one cares... :(

I have a great idea for a full RTS game, but I'm not sharing too much of it so I can do something with it.

Um... okay. How about this: Adam Sandler is like, in love with some girl, but then it turns out that the girl is actually a ...golden retriever, or something.

..but does it have canoes?

is he in a fucking boat?

on*

How's about a first person shooter where everyone gets a randomly generated bingo card and there are a few bingo ball generators scattered around the match that you collect. If someone collected a bingo ball that you need, an indicator appears above then and when you gib them, their balls go flying all over the place ala rings in sonic the hedgehog. First person to Bingo wins! You can call it Extreme Bingo!

sorry, you collect the balls, not the generators, of course.

How about a game where you play an animal and you attack members of animal rights group, because they're out to spay/neuter your animal friends and euthanisation would be the game over screen.

rooster fighting, and dog fights would be excellent mini games, which would translate to online matches

I would play this!

How about this: A fighting game in which you get to play as a music band and go across the known universe, fighting other bands in bloody deathmatches, until you gain ultimate dominance...and millions upon millions of groupies.

A FPS with bullets that start people on fire, ramps that explode and points. Oodles of points.
Wait, what, it's already been done? Damn you, 50 Cent, you insane genius! Damn you to hell!!

50 cent wasnt an fps

Or just take it one step further and make a lego 50 cent game.

Well sarcasm is just sarcasm. But I think doing something like this is pretty cool, someone could come up with a pretty good idea.

Or not.

ok how about a game where you're a rock/metal star and you have to use the power of music to kill people and be an all around badass?

wait, they've already come up with that? DAMN YOU SCHAFER!

I presume contest rules mean my European self can't enter, but nevertheless, I'm sticking with my idea of a cat simulator, where you just wander around climbing trees and sniffing seemingly boring things, meowing at people and generally giving people the tools to act retarded with that certain je ne sais quoi.

All sorts of excellent.

ok, so your this guy, who has to keep the animals in line. your mission, is to punch all sort of zoo animals in the face to keep them preforming to the zoo's high standards. you start out in some crappy pet store, and move on up. oh, and you have items to help you lure them, like jelly beans.

By the way, DePaul unfortunately did not accept any game pitches posted in these comments.

How about the FPS where you actually don't shoot guns (or anything)? More like an FPS Fighter game, lol...
