For several days now, a thought has been bothering me about certain "Death Note" games on BYOND. I have decided to make my own Death Note game, (an original one mind you) and am not sure how a Death Note game would work. Would it even work as well for a multiplayer game on the Anime Section of BYOND?
I am not even sure how a Death Note game will spark happiness to several people on this website. Do some of the anime fans on here even enjoy intellectual games? Seeing how the show Death Note is mainly based on a few gruesome scenes and using the people's brains. You guys know of some way for a Death Note game to work PROPERLY?
Thank you.

Also: the idea in general is just dumb. Not every crappy piece of crap from Japan is suitable for a game. Get over it. How is a Death Note game not suitable to become a game? It isn't impossible to find a way to make the subject work. You can make a pile of dung suitable for a game. All you do is put the dung in and put in a storyline. It isn't hard to make it suitable, so how can a "piece of crap from Japan" not be suitable for a game? | |
Because the goddamn show is about a guy who can randomly kill people at whim. This does not make for compelling gameplay.
Or, hey, you could have a game that has nothing to do with what the goddamn show is named about. That's a great idea, I suppose. Anything's better than anime. But why name it after a pile of crap? Here's a good rule to follow: just because something CAN be done, doesn't meant it SHOULD be done. | |
Meh, don't call the anime crap. It was pretty good. :P
But anyway, this obviously isn't a good concept for a game. Whoever has a note will just be able to kill everyone unless you go to dumb measures that aren't good for games, like hiding players' names, etc. | |
Because the goddamn show is about a guy who can randomly kill people at whim. This does not make for compelling gameplay. This can actually work pretty well for a game. How about a Murder Mansion-esque game where a bunch of detectives are trying to figure out who the killer is while he needs to kill them off without being discovered? Or, better yet, manipulate everyone to think someone else is the killer? I don't know, but you're not giving the concept enough credit. | |
The point is, the concept means you can kill people extremely easily without being detected, you don't need to even touch them or be nearby.

No, it doesn't. Did Kira have an easy time killing people in the show? He tried two whole seasons to kill someone and couldn't.
Besides, the concept what your decide it is. That's it. You make it up. It doesn't have to be about a note that can kill whoever's his name in it; maybe it's about the love interest between Light and Misa (that's lame, I know). | |

He did take a complete arc to kill, not to spoil - one guy, though. Obviously enough that's a special case, and also it doesn't matter what happened in the storyline. Players hiding their "real" names in games just won't go so well neither will analyzing murders of days, having most people being ordinary boring and easily killable people and only a few with special powers. Though anyway, the good ups of the show were quite about intelligent thinking, planning etc. We're not going to see this from most of the players. Besides, the concept what your decide it is. That's it. You make it up. Unless you pick up an existing concept, which is what this topic is about. Of course you can do whatever you want with it threw your imagination. But the guy asked if the concept sounds plausible for a good multiplayer game, so we said our opinions about it. It doesn't have to be about a note that can kill whoever's his name in it But that's the main concept of Death Note. A "Death Note game" would have this main concept. maybe it's about the love interest between Light and Misa But that's not really any concept of Death Note, surely not the main one, and it's quite minor anyway. :D Oh, and, of course, since it appears you've watched Death Note, you know it isn't anything like a concept like Murder Mansion's. | |
Yep, he killed thousands of people throughout the show. You're missing the point. The people that were a threat to him were very hard to kill. No he didn't. He did take a complete arc to kill, not to spoil - one guy, though. Obviously enough that's a special case, and also it doesn't matter what happened in the storyline. It took a whole arc to kill someone, and the other one he tried a whole arc to kill someone and died trying. In other words, it was very hard Players hiding their "real" names in games just won't go so well neither will analyzing murders of days, having most people being ordinary boring and easily killable people and only a few with special powers. That's not true. It's really a matter of how you implement it. You have a hard time thinking it'll turn into a good game because you never saw a good application of the idea in action. Unless you pick up an existing concept, which is what this topic is about. Of course you can do whatever you want with it threw your imagination. But the guy asked if the concept sounds plausible for a good multiplayer game, so we said our opinions about it. No, the topic is about how to turn Death Note into a good multiplayer concept. The author didn't even propose a concept. But that's the main concept of Death Note. A "Death Note game" would have this main concept... Check out the Video Games section in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_Note]; there's a game about fighting, a board game and even a game without Kira or the Death Note at all. The designers took a small part of Death Note and turned it into a game. | |

I wouldn't say those games are necessarily likely good or deserve their name, either. | |
You would assume that. No, seriously. I see no reason why those games don't deserve to be called "Death Note games." Are they not based on Death Note?

A Death Note game - though a wonderful idea- would not work, because people wouldn't give their names at all.

Maby if you can make it to where not everyone has a deathnote Like a 1/1000 chance as well as giving some restrictions on the shinigami eyes as in the anime like half yo life so u would need a way to implement Lifespans into it not to mention giving the players the benefit of a Alias and their real names for their characters and if the player dies they Die witch means they remake

"Ok everyone log in and run around doing nothing while some ultra-powerful guy comes and kills you all..." Sounds just like your typical DBZ game, with an admin. :D | |
For the hojillionth time: if you're basing something on an already-existing intellectual property, it is not original, origional, origanal, orgonol, or any goddamn misspelling thereof.
Also: the idea in general is just dumb. Not every crappy piece of crap from Japan is suitable for a game. Get over it.
