I’ve mentioned it before, but I went to college for game and simulation production. Basically, we learned how to create video games from theory to final product. Anyways, I was cleaning around the house and found a incomplete game bible (aka everything you need to know about the game) that I wrote back in 2011. I wanted to share it with you guys, because it sounds quite fun on paper.
It’s a sandbox FPS, where the main character is stuck on a mysterious island, and to end the game you have to escape; except it’s not easy to do that. The island was once home to a technologically advanced civilization, who left a AI to protect the island and to stop people from leaving the island. The AI has also built robots to protect the island. The island is also home to exotic flora and fauna, some friendly and some not; some both. There are other castaways you might befriend or fight as well.
Excuse the chicken scratch notes. I was trying to write out the story in order that it happens.
The weapons part might seem weird, but I was going for a simplified weapon setup. Four unique weapons, each customizable to your hearts content. If I remember correctly, the rifle can become the sniper rifle for long range shots, the shotgun for close range insane situations (mainly large animals), and the revolver for anything else.
Looking back, I believe my idea was that parts of the gun were interchangeable, so you can put a bigger bore on the revolver itself to put in larger bullets.
What do you guys think? Re-reading it makes me want to add onto it, flesh it out more.

Either because it has a fucky Russian mating-cone dance going on, or the lulz, I suspect.

Extremely limited base gun choice could work. You’ve definitely eliminated long range bullet spam with your choices, which are each quirky enough to entertain.

Ugh, it’s been so long since I’ve written this. The only reason I can think of is a way to reduced the gunshot. Other than that, I think maybe I was making each weapon have all of the same add-ones.
Plus, I gave the revolver a scope. So perhaps I was going for giving the player multiple attachments that they don’t necessarily have to use, but they could if they wanted to. I am inspired by Crysis 2, where you can add attachments to any weapon mid-battle, which I really liked. You can fire scope-less or use a scope. Also, I like the bioshock way of the solving the same problem multiple different ways. If the player wants to add a suppressor and a scope on a revolver to snipe, let them have their fun!

That’s what I figured, plus I like a bit of realism in my games. I always found it weird if players lugged around a lot of guns and ammunition; like in the first two Bioshocks. And the focus was more on the customizing of the guns, then the variety. Like, instead of a pump action shotgun, why not customize it to an automatic?

This sounds like a more interesting version of “Sir, You Are Being Hunted.”

With a dash of a Atlantis mystery, coupled with the crazy inhabitants or borderlands (some good, some bad), and other elements of gameplay like from crysis 2.
Plus, I love a good story in my games. Something that can keep me guessing, and is well written.

Were these going to be weapon designs that you come up with, or based off real arms? The only reason I ask is that there is probably only one good revolver that could be suppressed, the Nagant M1895. It has a nifty gas-seal system that would allow for a suppressor to function correctly, but it’s not a top-break gun.

Not sure about real counterparts. I did the different actions for each gun to keep the reloading animation unique for each gun.

i like to keep thinks interesting. I’m a big fan of first person games, but they are mostly all similar. :/.
