OT - Who wants to write a "roguelike" game? How about a 4X?

What is Rogue?

I can't code anything for the life of me and I'm not completely sure what you have in mind but I have photoshop and am willing to help.

Suggest you get over to sourceforge.net and do a search its the open source softward directory go to games and look for existing projects and get involved (look for those programming in C++) and go help with ones already existing and perhaps you can alter it to suit youre tastes - there are thousands of such projects why not make existing ones storonger.

(I'd also suggest a 4X game but those are probably much more complicated

you don't think roguelike's are complicated? mwUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!

for a good example of a very good roguelike, go here: http://www.adom.de/

and make it with darkbasic. very simple: http://darkbasicpro.thegamecreators.com/

well, the Last bit was advertising. and roguelikes can be very simple. but none that i've played have, except the original.

and i don't know C#. or C++. or C+. or C.

Doesnt the angband and variants fall under this also - i play zangband which i find the best of the angband variants.

How about a roguelike set in space? Instead of a character you're a ship. Instead of dungeons, you explore star systems. Instead of monsters, you fight enemey ships...

Oh wait, that would be Trek.

Well, if it's set in an original universe, I might be willing to pitch in with the graphics.

A Spacehack game?
I won't have programming time to help with, but I do have a nice portfolio of ideas!

Things are more exciting when every hit has subtle (and sometimes not-so-subtle) effects on your abilities.
Near- Instant death combat would tend to make it an exercise in save/load.

And dangerous components... Carring a lot of missile ammo should make you worry when a bLaster shot starts a fire in your supply bays!
Antiproton beams doing bLast damage to your hull when they get destroyed. Watch out for chain reactions!
It would also encourage a mix of safer, but less powerful weaponry amidst the Uberguns.
