Idea Men - final V3 

that storm chaser idea genuinely sounds fucking awesome

who up samming their noodle rn⁉️

i appreciate the name change, now i can tell ppl what im listening to without sounding like im having a stroke

For photography games, I found Umurangi Generation's spin very simple but very clever, where it's a game about taking photos of specific things as it usually is, but the levels are specifically laid out enough that finding the specific angle plays out like a sniper game, so even though it's not about creativity, at least the challenge of "getting the shot" is laid out better as a challenge than it usually is in something like Pupperazzi, Pokemon Snap or Crush House. Also, just for your own entertainment, the controls and lenses the game gives you are pretty decent; it's still the only photography game I've played with manual focus control.

For the storm chaser game too they could add side objectives or missions that go like “lady needs you to retrieve something from the house thats about to be fucking demolished” or “this institute needs data from this twister where you have to be in the most dangerous area for a certain amount of time” or even ones like “this guy wants you to to explode their neighbors house because he hates them” something like that

If you guys are keeping with the cardboard aesthetic a very funny contextualization of the storm chaser idea is that it is like a toddler throwing a tantrum and ripping all of the cardboard up and throwing things

NEW FINAL V3 WAKE UP GUYS

calling it b# is god tier humor and i don't know if they realize

favorite episode currently, both of them coming up with ideas on the fly was a treat to listen to

the old logos are so fitting lmao

I love the idea of a near-future dystopian driving game where it's 2-person co-op where you're battling AI and maybe other players in improvised vehicles with machine guns and shit on it. It's like a Halo capture the flag with Warthogs kinda vibe, but the game is really a commentary on gig work, and the flag is a food delivery app thing where everyone is fighting to kill each other just so they can be the one to deliver le borgar to someone's house for a meagre paycheque! I think that's epic and also le social commentary!!!

On the topic of racing games and ideas, I wouldn't worry so much about being original. It's FAR better to do something cool well than it is to do something original.

Think about the van in Phasmaphobia, but with a driver, side seat, and then 1 or 2 guys in the back monitoring things like wind speed, path projections for the storm, maps that have things that will improve the value of the footage (like cows swept up in Twister), and social media, that way they know who to target based on which opponent driver is stealing the most footage.

The talk of Twitch integration has me imagining an old skool dungeon crawler that pulls people who are active in chat randomly to put them in control of enemies in combat.

43:20 There are absolutely a few storm chasing games out there. The one I know of is just called Storm Chasers (i think) and you have to drive around and take pictures of thr tornadoes. You get more points the closer you get, and you also get points for debris in the shot.

The temptation to just blatantly steal the game idea near the end is palpable, that sounds soo good and I just wrapped up writing a jerky crazy taxi like car controller that's multiplayer compatible.

I'm not even 9 minutes in and Sam is already proposing some weird-fuck twitch integrations for what was it a 50k dollar project? This is a wild one.

Safari chaser was AMAZING and I played it to completion one night at my local arcade when free play was turned on.

52:26 This would allow you to put in an actual mechanic for fastening your seat belt too

A LAN only or self-hosted game would be so sick. Would allowing hacking and modding to be such a community thing that wouldn’t hurt anyone… is this enough to push you guys to undertake a still ridiculous task?! Really hope you guys make a game

who up finaling their v3

i fw these guys heavy

i wonder if it would be funny to graph out their spoken wpm to see how excited they get about Co-Op Storm Chaser Game TM

Sorry, but I will absolutely have the role of "guy walking around with an 'The End Is Near' sign"

23:25 i fuckin love the jokes like Sam saying hell DMCA your family and Noodle's deadpan "Gun"

After too much Burnout on my ps2, I really believed there was a game about GOLF, but balls were CARS and instead of clubs you put RAMPS to jump from. You had to drive the car to the ramp with the right speed to get a good shot, etc. That game never existed. I hallucinated myself into believing it existed.

Storm chaser as a couch coop would be amazing

Wonder if Julian saw the Raycevick "I love racing games, they suck" video with how he talked about there not being much room to create "new" things in the racing genre.

my brain cant run this episode well Good episode

JUMBO SAFARI!!!!! The sega game you're talking about where you drive a jeep to lasso wild animals. That game was neat! Sega AM team was innovative with arcade driving games. There was also this Ambulance game, Emergency Call Ambulance. The things that happen in the city that you have to drive through is chaotic. Clinton was a patient.

finally, a use for apple podcasts

Shoutouts to yellow taxi goes vroom

I have an idea that i've been slowly building for a racing game that doesn't suck

i want this tornado chasing game to exist so much holy moly please asus say yes

Hell yeah, not sleeping is paying off

I would play the fuck outta that storm chaser game

NEW EPISODE LETSS GOO

Steve Jobs wake up new finale v3 episode!!!

WAS A LITTLE LATE BUT WE HERE NOW

Call it storm chased please.

I'd honestly make the argument that the racing genre community has kinda been supplanted by the speed running community as a whole. Why seek out racing games specifically when every game can potentially be a racing game?

I would extremely like to play the storm chasing game

About the Opponent AI Part: Why does no video game give the players the option to create their Ai (obvl. gamefied), it would inherit your habits, skill level, name and quitks. Then you could couse AIs of friends or (with codes) viewers to play against + randomizer. Those AIs also would have ratings for skill, sportsmanship, etc. Then the AI is not to strong or bad it is just that u need to chose another and it as more challenge. Forza has its Drivertar System, I am baffled that they did not implement it.

FFXIV did something similar to what was being talked about at the 20 minuet mark with how they ended the original version of the game ending its service run with the world being destroyed in game and the servers being shut down afterwards, they later on made the current version of the game in a different timeline n stuff

SAVANNA!!!!!!!!!!

Anti peta racing game the cars are animals with wheels all the items are animal specific based on diet or skeletal structure

i need this storm chasing game yesterday

It sounds like yall watched the movie Twisters about the storm chaser idea, not sure if there are other movies like it

would play storm gaming sounds fun and cool

I’m finally manage to memorize the podcast name and you guys go and change it. 🙃 I’m not gonna memorize this one.

If you choose to do the storm chaser thing, play My Summer Car. Might give you some inspiration!

this is faorite noodle and Sam conent;

2:08 - Sam, you started off sounding like a very reasonably-minded person who has spent a passing minute thinking about commitments and goals, I would like to subscribe to your newsletter! *20 seconds later* ...have you... made a multiplayer game before?

"uhhhhh" is already a note, just stick with it

Please make the catastrophic/Pacific Drive/storm chasers type game I beg of you it sounds so awesome. I'd pay 20$-40$ for it no joke PLEASE

LETS GO ONLY 16 HOURS LATE RRRRRAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! IM HIM!!!!!!

I do try to keep my projects small but the creep is far too real. I've just spent two weeks making a single asset... Perhaps I need to learn what good enough is

whoah I've played that safari game.... nice, i dont remember liking it.

9:48 understatement of the century Edit: is some of the car game hesitancy maybe coming from the negative perception the vast majority of kart games have? A company doesn’t want to potentially greenlight *another* dime-a-dozen, shit-ass kart racer.

Final V3? More like final V-Pee!

hello julian noodle. what do you think about wipeout and the ag racing genre. thanks and good afternoon

27:30 you should play speed racer the video game on the wii and ps2
