Maybe even a gimmick.

I'm not sure if your engine is 2D or 3D, so I'll say a top-down or isometric RPG with fighting / movement based parts. The story can have multiple outcomes depending on dialogue choices with key characters. Dialogue would be in a "from the side" view. There could be a main hub area, I'll explain in the story portion.

Story: You're an assassin for hire. You been hired for a big pay by an anonymous employer. After doing your job and going to the spot selected for your pay, you are met instead by a counter-assassin. After defeating this counter, you want revenge, and your money. You have to explore a main hub at first (probably a city) in which there are enterable buildings and such. As your employer used a courier to deliver their message, and did not give their name, you'll have to ask around to find clues as to who and where your target is.

Gimmick: As you're an assassin, there should be parts to the game in which sneaking is required to gain items or access to locations.

That sounds really cool, that's a good one. However, it's a 2d side scrolling engine. I'd need someone to draw sprites for a top down

It's fine, Sidescrolling RPGs can work well too, and in that case dialogue would be seamless anyhow.

I have an Idea:
Ok you play as Tarex, the Underworld Gatekeeper. After hordes of Undead escape because of the Sky World, You suit up to start the fight to keep the Undead in.
It would be Kinda like Kid Icarus (Original)
But in this, you can change forms after certain areas sorta like a Hellhound or a Demon or something.
It would be better for like a Free World 3D game but I thing a 2D side scroll would be kinda cool for this as a project.
Just quote me if you want more to it.

Sounds cool, but make sure characters are original
 
I'm pretty sure Tarex is original.
I use that for most RPGs I play, so I thought it up myself.
Ima google it.
 
Named after a realastate company I think...
 
Hm, If there's a judge position open then I'm willing to be a judge.If not....I may try to come up with an Idea as a contestant.
 
It'd love to toss one into the crowd:

Name: Hibernation

Story: You're a single father who lives with his daughter in a small, iron village, as their mines are rich with only iron.
One day a large blizzard freezes the entire town with a sheet of ice, the mine is closed down, as the earth is too hard to mine, food supplies
run out quickly, and many people die.
You, your daughter, and a couple of survivors my try venturing outside your camp, and attempt to find a reliable source of food, as you try to
keep you, and your daughter alive for the entire blizzard.

Your goal in the game is to catch, find, and try to grow food for your daughter, and possibly your village, and your lone goal is to keep
as many people alive as possible, you venture out into the cold with a small pocket knife, disturbing anything that hibernates, active, and kill for
anything you can swallow.
As you venture, you may find small camps, journals, anything to save your sanity. Jump down into deep camps scrawling for game, and plants.

Just make sure you don't eat them all by the time you get back.
 
Name:SSF the Hedgehog

Story:You're an 11 year old hedgehog who finds a dark emerald.The Dark Emerald injects you with dark energy. The energy is so powerful, it becomes it's own person. Evil SSF decides to try to take over Mobius and goes make Mobians evil. You have to run through the levels, defeating evil mobians by jumping on them, punching them, or kicking them.

I honestly hope you are kidding. I doubt he wants a sonic fan fic as a game.

The name of the game is what disturbs me most, IMO.

I just wanted to throw out some shit to the mix. I'd hate this game, no kidding. Just for the reactions.
