Enemies would be antifa terrorists, dressed in black hoodies and sweatpants mostly and wearing black bandana masks. They often do not directly charge at you but nervously circle you until the numbers are overwhelmingly in their favor, also trying to herd you into traps and corners. Many do not have guns and rely on makeshift street hand weapons or fists. Some throw rocks, bottles, etc. Injuring or killing one sends a fear shockwave through nearby enemies cause many to lose their nerve and run, only to creep back later for an attack. Drugged up variants (visible in their eyes and face) are chemically immune to fear and will attack much more boldly and not feel pain, but are also less accurate and may accidentally attack nearby friendlies.

On the thought of "wait a week", could just make it a race against time to eliminate as many rebels as you can before the blockade forces a surrender. Faster and more efficient you are, the less damage there is to state infrastructure which adds to your score.

Yeah that is a plot loop hole I thought about. But it completely ruins the game.

Any way to fix this? Is the "US govt stays out to prevent spread of civil unrest to other states" too flimsy? Is there some other way to make crushing the revolution more dependent on your actions on the street inside California and less dependent on outside forces / resource blockades?

>>15706071

no anon i can do those things, thats not what im asking about

im trying to see if the idea is worth doing

>>15706082

this isnt my first game

my main worry is actually potential backlash from having this attached to my real identity - can a game be released anonymously?

If a section of a nation tries to secede from the rest, there's only two outcomes. Either the main nation recognizes the leaver as a sovereign nation, or it doesn't, which means civil war.

The U.S. would never recognize the forced secession of its states, especially after the first time that was tried. Just won't happen unless there's a radical upheaval in the government that results in a completely different form of government.

So the only real outcome is going to be a civil war. The deciding factor is going to be how much of the military defects or deserts. A civilian is going to be able to do fuckall in this scenario. There's really no plausible scenario where a U.S. civil war will be a civilian vs. civilian war. The only time that sort of conflict will happen is on the smaller scale before/after military forces arrive in the area. Closest you can get is going to be "countdown until military forces arrive". Maybe in the likely scenario that other world powers intervene, you could have entry into the state delayed for a time as X nation backs the rebels and provides their own naval and ground support.

The scenario here is that the US recognizes California as a sovereign nation (for whatever reason) but shortly after the new independent nation of California has its own civil war internally: communists / antifa attempting a revolution (which you and others are trying to stop).

I just want the plot to allow for street combat, including use of makeshift weapons when others are scarce.

>Sup /v/ game dev here. I have an idea for a game and was looking for feedback.

You were wise to come to /v/ first.

>I want to make a game about killing communists set in California in the year 2021.

I have just pre-ordered your game.

>Trump won, California separated and then quickly collapsed into street warfare between patriots and antifa terrorists.

Good premise, will have to have a deep lore explaining how it realistically separated.

>It would most likely be an extreme reflexes top down shooter like Hotline Miami.

Potential but now it is all about the combat not and the good story premise becomes a bit mute. You will have to tell the story thru the environment then, like some parts of Fallout 3. This puts pressure on your graphical presentation-- it would have to be stellar.

>The goal is to crush the revolution and make the state rejoin the US which is refusing to interfere due to fear of the civil war spreading throughout the other states. To this end, missions would be strategically linked together towards crushing the revolution: spying, identifying supply lines then ambushing and raiding them, assaulting enemy bases and camps, taking prisoners and using them to negotiate, etc.

This is all very good.

>Does this game sound fun / would you play it? Any feedback or ideas?

Keep the controversy generated just to the premise, be sure to not have things that can be pointed to as racist or hate speech etc… Also, make subtle fun without slander for example, show the connection between the useful idiot (student) and Marxist professor.

>And what could happen to me if this game is attached to my real identity? Nothing if you play your cards right. Good luck

If all you want is a civilian engaging in street combat against commies and mexicans why not frame it in the likely scenario of the US as a whole collapsing? We are already irreversibly on that path.

None of the Cali fags would know how to fight though, they'd have a front-line of trannies, veganfags and fat hairy virgins (both sexes) wielding whiny protest signs. The protagonist could trigger a third of them into inconsolable weeping just by driving a van with 'KILL THE FAGS' written down the side through their street.

You could just say they stored, or stole enough water from a neighbouring state or that they found stores that were supposed to be used for activated almond farms and are glugging that down instead. It doesn't stop them getting crushed like eggs by the outside but it slows down the process.

Maybe they've kidnapped some high value target(s) and who knows where they're hidden them. You have to send in an even more SWAT than SWAT team to extract them.

>>15706087

you can start a LLC in nevada and be anonymous, use that to get the money, but you'd need a lawyer

i don't know, maybe ask this guy in a mail

sent you my feedback in private!

>>15706027 (OP)

Make the result a tie.

Make both sides playable.

Make a Texas scenario, where the situation is reversed.
