Wild ideas…Gangsta Paintball
The game would be a paintball game that is a parody of gangster life. One direction would be to make it with a cartoony look, make the characters either little kids or animals (more likely the latter), and family-friendly. So, picture it more like the spunkiness you found in old Worms titles in terms of visuals and audio cues, along with “turf wars” such as fighting over a schoolyard, or a playground, or a backyard.
Another direction would be to ditch family-friendly and aim for a South Parth-like set of characters, with similar bleeping of foul language. Or truly go for a more adult experience and mix in hip-hop tunes, “drive-bys” with paintball guns, and block-to-block turf wars.
Pros: Lots of options in terms of game design, easy to make memorable play and characters, and opportunities to stand out from the rush of WW2-inspired first-person shooters.
Cons: Multiplayer-focused game which have proven hard to sell without a box on the shelves. Last couple of options might simply piss people off.
