I’ve decided to do a quiet release with this just to see how it gets on. This might not be it’s finished name, and it this also probably won’t be the resulting url, but here goes.
Taken from the start page:
The intended purpose of this wiki is to catalog game design ideas, concepts and functionality. It will attempt to include how games have implemented certain ideas, provide discussion over these ideas and describe possible modifications, improvements and extensions. It’s also a place for people to describe an idea and put it up for comments and criticism.
Feel free to create an ideas sub-page off any existing subject. For example, if you had an idea for an fps you would create a page here if it doesn’t already exist, then create your specific idea here and link to it from the first page. Easy as pie.
Comments, criticism welcome.
Is this a good idea? Would you use it and hopefully contribute? Anything I should change?
I hope to do some work on the design as time goes on, but I just want to get it out there and hopefully have people contribute.
I guess it’s a bit of a touchy subject, a lot of people don’t want to share their idea because ‘people will steal it’.
I probably need to work out some sort of ‘attribution’ agreement where anyone using the ideas has to conform to certain criteria.
I’ll probably be doing a thing or two on it over the next while. Moving things around and making everything nicer. The front page could use some work already.
Anyway, please add things and orgainse the wiki! I don’t realy know how it should be organised so start a discussion!
