[et:qw]: "non violence" mod idea

(WEARESURROUNDED!) #21

Wasn’t there a Nerf game a few years ago? That’s non violent too. :wink:

Yeah! Nerf Arena Blast, lol.

(SniperSteve) #22

even a demo. downloads

(The 4th Horseman) #23

The most likely reason I can think of is this:

Killing someone is easy.

Creating disaster scenarios = Hard

May be it makes more sense to devide the games which are discussed here in two subgroups:

[ul]
[li]non lethal
[/li][li]non violent
[/li][/ul]
(I would consider “non violent” as a sub group of “non lethal”).

I would chategorize a game where kids throw snowballs as violent but not lethal.
Also the paintgun games are violent but non lethal.

I think every shooter can be turned into a non lethal game:
Weapons shoot some sort of energy that teleports you at a certain point (respawn point) if your shield energy is low/zero (or e.g. Jailbreak mods).

Edit:

Now I come up with four types of games:

  • [li]violent
    [/li][list:7fb1cf6968]
    [li]lethal
    [/li]“normal” shooters
    [li]non lethal
    [/li]the mentioned “kid”-games idea (partially (snowball battles for example)) or boxing/wrestling sport games etc.

[li]non violent
[/li][ul]
[li]lethal
[/li]the mentioned survivor game idea (if player could drown for example)
if the player would have to destroy the environment (blast doors for example) it would be violent-lethal due to my thoughts
[li]non lethal
[/li][/ul]
[/list:u:7fb1cf6968]
Due to my thoughts I came to the conclusion that Mario is a violent - lethal game.
And isn’t suited for people that aren’t adults.

[edit again]
I remember a mod for Far Cry.
Goal was to simulate a farmers life.
Something with tractors.
Can’t remember the exact name.
