Name the game contest!

Kaos Kush! the entire game is a blaze....


how about something Makaimura style?  I don't know enough Japanese though.

Chibi Makaimura

[BigusSchmuck]

How about this:
悪魔akumaのno上昇jixyoushou。
The rise of Demons.
Akuma no jixyoushou in case you can't get japanese text.

[spenoza]

I'm not familiar with ANY system of romanization of Japanese that uses an X.

Jyoushou is what you are looking for.

How about this:
悪魔akumaのno上昇jixyoushou。
The rise of Demons.
Akuma no jixyoushou in case you can't get japanese text.

I kinda like this one...

I like:

Chibi Makaimura - what would be the kanji for this?

悪魔akumaのno上昇jixyoushou。 

and something with Kaos on it would be cool too.

Thanks again guys!
Trying to get some concept art going to add to this. Please keep it going.

I don't know, I feel like people would automatically assume it's a GnG type game if it has the word Makaimura in it, but maybe not.  That's just the first thing that comes to mind.

Something to consider for sure, granted one could make the case the GnG is a "LnR" Lance and Run

Too keep things rolling!   :-"


Which of these concepts would you like to see evolved all the way to a tech demo?

Level Ideas

Dagon
Sea side village, raining, population is being turned into marine like monster life. Player will start in the woods and make their way into the rainy dilapidated town. At the edge of town will be a mansion that the player will  have to explore to obtain a key to open the catacombs. Once past the catacombs mosnter rush, the player will enter Dagons altar where a maiden is being offered for sacrifice. Player will have to kill Dagons followers and then fight Dagon itself,  a giant fish like head with tentacles coming out of a huge opening on the ground.

Rent the movie Dagon

Boat ride.
Rush surviving stage. Player stars inside a boat ship,riding towards a mysterious island. The player will get rushed by monsters boarding the ship from both sides. Time to Kill ‘em all!

Once the rush stops, the boat is attacked by a gigantic Cthulhu like monsters tentacles coming down from the sky. After shooting a bunch of tentacles, the ship, wrecks, just at the edge of the mysterious islands, boss full form comes out from the water. Fight is on the ship facing a giant monster.


C62
Train ride from hell - a rushing Hudson C62 is out of control and you must make your way across the carriages to the front, while destroying everything in sight. (you've seen this before, this is my homage to it)


Here's an EARLY sketch dump as well. All images are bound to change and evolve.

[soop]

I like the mansion idea, but I can see that it would be by far the hardest of the three to pull off.

[sunteam_paul]

The first one. But with more Cthulhu.

[Tatsujin]

I like:

Chibi Makaimura - what would be the kanji for this?

no kanji for "chibi" and the rest just as before:

チビorちび魔界村

What'd be great with Dagon, is for him to have "piles"(hemoroids I believe), so that he scratches his arse from time to time, he occasionally falls on his face, & then when you defeat him, maybe his head & hand fall off(or maybe you lop them off), in reference to the statue of Dagon in the scriptures, where IIRC the statue would fall flat on it's face, & later the statues head & hands were lopped off & the Philistines ended up with piles at some point, & were required to make images of the piles to appease God.  But, maybe that'd be too religious a reference  Either way, I think it'd be funny, not to mention fairly obscure.  I think it'd be hilarious, but, maybe you're going for full serious.

I was thinking more along the lines of the Assyrian Dagon and HP lovecraft Dagon but that sounds cool too. I know the deity has had many forms over the aeons. Anyway, great input!

Not going for serious, this is a "Cute 'em up X Horror" venture. I'm bound to offend just about everyone.

[ParanoiaDragon]

Yeah, I think the Philistines historically borrowed Dagon from the Cannanites, & like any god, probably was passed around a bit by various cultures.  Estarte/Ishtar/Venus/Aphrodite is a goddess that comes to mind, that spanned atleast 4 different groups, if not more, but just with different names.  Hell, I remember reading somewhere that certain types of hats that Catholic priest wear, were also taken from Dagon priests to help bring over pagan converts.  Might even be related to that supposed Christian fish symbol too.  

I'm not sure how true all that is, but maybe some of Dagon's follower's could wear the Dagon/Pope hats!
