“Cowboys n’ Mafia” A roguelike game concept (IN SEARCH OF CODERS AND INSIDE KNOWLEDGE ON RANDOMLY GENERATED LEVELS) – Creative Works

I have an idea for a game inspired by Doom, Minecraft, Fallout, NES, Goonies 2 NES, Lone Ranger NES and Resident Evil

it’s called “Cowboys and Mafia” it’s a sprite style FPS roge styled like a NES game complete with sprites, 8-bit sounds and digitized sound

Conceptual art

there would be a story mode and a survival mode, the main gameplay would be melee and gunfights

most weapons would be magic, guns, knives, clubs, whatever. also a tool system, where you need the right item to unlock a door or solve a puzzle

equipped in your toolbar. There would also be trading, a crafting system, an armor system, and a dungeon generator full of all sorts of nonsense.

The game would also be themed around the Wild West of the late 1930s, with different cultural aesthetics.

Some mechanics in this game concept would be a dialogue system, quests, having to use a lighter to use TNT and firebombs, using two weapons with one hand and an inventory

system ripped straight from the inhabitants of evil.

There is a gear and armor system. Some gear you find has special properties, like protection from fire, more storage, casting cool spells, or dealing more damage.

My preference is for an engine similar to Minecraft, but without the Cubes. Another goal of mine is a survival world where you can chop wood and build bases. Maybe even multiplayer, but a single player experience would be a good start.

anyway tell me what you think

If I get this project off the ground, I’ll be outsourcing most of the art and textures to programmers and people with knowledge of rougelike engines.
