So a friend of mine is a beast in actionscript so he and I decided to make a game recently. The reason I decided to post this here is you guys seem like a lot better animators and such than I am so I thought maybe you guys could give some suggestions about how this game could work.
The idea behind the game comes from inglorious bastards, if you haven't seen it watch it. anyway you are a loner sniper abandoned in a city up in the bell tower of a church or some other shit (I haven't decided what nationality the enemy will be yet) and basically you have to kill a certain amount of enemies a day, the enemies will shoot back and such, possibly throwing grenades and things of the sort
Gameplay wise I decided it is going to be an fps (you wont be able to move much, and to change which direction you are looking you will have to push a button or something because it would be crazy hard to code it to fbf as you turn and such) anyway you have to survive something like 25-30 days until the enemy army flees the city because you are killing to many of them.
So far progress wise all I have really done is draw up a couple guns (pics later) in a first person view. I drew an M1 Garand and a Thompson M1A1. you will get to choose one gun to start. other guns will probably be MP44, M14, some pistol I don't remember what is called and a springfield or something. anyways feel free to suggest different guns or something, keep in mind this is WWII era.
it could be cool but tbh it sounds like another "survive for a certain amount of time while shooting shit and upgrading between turns" internet game
idk im probably bein dumb here but there seems to be a lot of those these days!
what will this game offer that those games dont?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure those games rake in a lot of money. They're actually the only flash games I play (I file usual TD's under the same category ok).
Anyways, I'm not quite sure what you mean with turning to push a button, but I would recommend to keep it simple. If you want to bring a little variety into the game, maybe alongside of weapons you can put up other snipers (NPC's) that shoot from different locations, and at the beginning of each round you chose your own and their location, but you all view the same thing basically. That would make a lot of things easier, especially cause you wouldn't have to turn at all.
Sniper games are gay and overdone.
Well, I don't want any NPC's because the point behind the game is that you are alone in the city, also you aren't necessarily a sniper, some of them weapons I included were SMG's pistols and assault rifles.
also it isnt just going to be one of those games where you are always zoomed in, you will have the ability to fire from the hip or look down the sites. I think maybe one of the guns (springfield or whatever gun I use with a bolt action) will have a 5X scope or something, while looking down the sites is a 2X zoom or something like that.
anyways, what I was saying about pushing a button to switch views is like, you could start out facing north, pushing D would make you turn clockwise 45 degrees and pushing A makes you turn 45 degrees anticlockwise.
anyway I haven't really played any of those "survive for a certain amount of time games so idk what I would be adding for individuality.
survive while upgrading shit

The only game of those that was even close to what I'm doing was the first of the three (The Last Stand) My game will not involve zombies as the are way overdone. Also gameplay wise my game should be quite a bit different because It will be a first person view. also you won't be running around much, because you will be at the top of a church tower. Also you wont be upgrading as you go. because where would you get the upgrades from? you are trapped at the top of a bell tower. (not trapped but you won't be going down as they could kill you much easier.)
ugh sorry for always ranting
