Design Challenge: Spoken Word

[MessiahSimple]

"Antioch"


Also, I like "Du's clues" and Sina's Angel/demons tug of war a lot!

and if I may take two of my own turns,

"Bursitis"

It seems to me that everyone is considering doing educational or trivia like games, which is great (I was thinking about this to). But then I had a brainwave. What about an RTS or strategic squad based shooter style game in which you control your troops by sending voice commands.

Squad based shooter
eg. Player: "Johnson, Go cover the bridge."

Then Johnson (an NPC) would go to the requested location.

This would work the same for an RTS
eg. Player: "Magic Elves, Go protect the tree of life."

Then the Magic Elves (NPC's) would go to the requested location.

That would break the condition imposed. As in "no possession allowed"

Although OSD is right about possessions in the challenge, you might want to check out Tom Clancy's "End War" from ubisoft. Not bursting your creative bubble, just pointing out an example of how what you're talking about can be done jitter

do we have an ETA on the responses, by chance?
