I have an idea.
I can't start actively making my game until later due to a long day at work but that will allow me to work through what I want to do fairly thoroughly so I will hopefully have most of it planned out before I start building it.
You will be a guard in an military research lab that experimented with energy based weapons/robotics, possibly underground. Something caused the scientists to lose control and the facility to start losing power. You must work your way though, preventing the experiments from escaping and trying to restore power and the security systems.
- You will have a singular rechargeable, portable power source. this will power your weapons and equipment and will effectively be your life
- You will start with an energy based weapon.
- Possible other weapons/upgrades etc.
- Power source will power doors/computers.
- A chance to recharge at the end of a level
- The game ends when you restore power.
I'm going to keep working through this as the day goes on, I just hope I'm able to actually build this.
Good luck everyone.
