Hi

I want to start making a game that is chosen from the community itself. Therefor I want you to make suggestions for a game I should make/port.
Any game is acceptable, but keep in mind that lua is limited. (no starcraft(-like), fps, high-framerate etc. stuff)

I hope some people will help me choose one, because i really want this one to finish (and i don't really have an idea of what kind of game the community wants).
As you may have noticed I am working on Uno right now, but once that's finished i'll get to this project.

To clarify, this project is for Nspire (Lua) only.
Everyone can give their ideas of course, I will add them to the idea-list beneath.

Idea list:
 - Reuben Quest: Ev Awakening
 - Zelda
 - [Decent] RPG
 - World's hardest game
 - Super Crate Box

DJ, you defenetley wanne keep reuben going

I always love zelda games........

Well the only reason why Reuben is that large is because of how grayscale was done in TI-BASIC programs in 2004 and how big map data is in BASIC compared to ASM and Axe. To keep grayscale going you had to recall a giant 96x62 sprite on the screen after every BASIC command, taking a dozen of extra bytes each time, in addition to installing an extra 16 KB app on the calc just for that extra command. If that game was written in Axe or ASM, I bet it would be 2-3 times smaller, if not more. I'm talking about Ev Awakening btw, not the 2nd Reuben game. Reuben 1 can be beaten in under 4 hours and 3 of those are spent on leveling up.

Yeah nowadays in the calc world it can also be a good idea to make ports of popular smart phone games, like Fruit Ninja, the Impossible Game, etc. Of course you better upload it on ticalc as well, not just Omni and TI-Planet, since a lot of people who are more into smart phones still go there to download games (see how many downloads a week Fruit Ninja gets there compared to here). But yeah ports of older calc games can also be nice, since some people who never had the chance to try them on the 84+ might like to see an updated version of the Nspire (especially with the lack of 84+ emulation on the CX).

And you should edit your list so it says Reuben Quest: Ev Awakening rather than just Reuben Quest. (since porting the 2nd one or both combined together would be quite hard)

Probably both, although if he means Zelda Dark Link Quest, about 30-40% of the entire game size is just the 2 minutes video before the final boss.

As long as it isn't another BrainFuck interpreter (we're over-saturated with those lately. I think it's the 2nd or 3rd 83+ one in a month) or another card game (not that they're bad, but during the 2011 contest, about half of the entries were card games )

Only 2 people with an opinion?

Make a game about BrainFuck

Zelda would also be cool, but it's probably much bigger than you're suspecting
