  3. Suggestions for indie games for Xbox live marketplace

    Hey guys! Im not sure if any of you remember, i havnt been on these forums forever. If this sparks your mind at all, i was the developer of that quake style FPS Engine.

    My FPS Engine Thread!

    Well, im back with more and more experience and wow have my skills gotten much better. Now, the reason why i am posting this is because im asking my fellow TPU users what kind of games do they want to see on the Xbox live indie game marketplace? Now that im done learning everything i can about programming and game dev, its time for me to take it to the next level and create a game. I've been doing 2d and 3d programming now for about 3 years. So do you guys have any ideas? Any genre suggestions?

    My Ideas:

    • Sandbox game(Like garrysmod, multiplayer)

    • Zombie game(Nazi zombie kinda thing, multiplayer)

    • Fort defense(1st person multiplayer fort defense)

    • Space exploration and build game(Build ships flys to space, fight, mine, etc)
    Hope you guys can give me some suggestions... and thanks!
