i decided to put project_omega into motion. its an idea i've had for quite a while now. basically i want the brightest people i know to pool together their ideas for the ultimate in video game design. its not really meant as a community to create video games. its more like a playground for people to toss out ideas and get responses. i'm going to ask anyone who posts in that community to make their posts friends-only. i made it selective and secretive for a few reasons: i want people to feel comfortable that everyone in the group is listening; i want pure unaltered ideas with no restrictions and fears that the outside world is goin to criticize; i want to build up the hype.
My original plan for Project Omega was pretty lofty and definitely undoable for the latter part of the next decade or two. I wanted to (eventually) employ all the top game designers to brainstorm a highly secretive video game to revolutionize the industry and force people to recognize this form of media as art. It was kind of my way of taking over the world.
Either or, the community is up. I'm going to be decently open as to who can join, but I"m not sure about who I'd let make posts and such.
Mainly I want this community to exist so others and I can get our brain muscles working and maybe use some of the ideas to make our own mini-games. If eventually the community turns into one project, then so be it.
