This Is Basically Like A Database, Or Archive Of Ideas That Have Been Put Across On The Forums. If You Have A Idea, Just Say And I Will Add It To The List. There Are A Few Ideas On There Now

>GAMEPLAY
->The Environment(By Clickhere123)
Ok, so I thought that the environment could have an impact on the game. So if it is really sunny/hot, you need water alot more often, and perhaps your vision is blocked abit, unless you find sunglasses.
Or, if it is windy, debris flies around more often, making you slower and your range of sight less (more blurry).
Also, Doing Certain Actions Can Effect The Outcome...(e.g) Leaving A Door Open... Removing A Beam.

->3rd Person/ 1st Person View(By Various People)
Perhaps A Button To Switch Between The View, Or Just An Option?

->Crafting/Building(By Djmadox)
If You Collect Enough And The Relevant Supplies, You Can Build/Craft Your Own Items Like Weapons And Tools. Or you Could Build Storage Fo Items And Recourses And A Safe-place.

->No Invisible Walls(By Djmadox)

->Grab Ability(By Thizda)
Ability To Grab Items To Barricade Doors or Windows, Like Chairs Or Wood.

->Strategical Assaults(Org. By Acela1a - Imp. By Clickhere123)
For Online And Offline, Ability To Direct players And NPC's Around An Area To Assault A Place, As Well As A A Map To See The Area(By Acela1a) - Maybe The Map Could Be Drawn In The Dirt?(By Me)

>ONLINE PLAY
->Gang Vs Gang Battle(Org. Clickhere123 - Imp. Acela1a)
A bit complicated, and probably the idea could be improved on...
But you start in a gang with X amount of other players. You goal is not ultimately to kill the other team, but you can if you wish. Only a couple of guns in the map, with a Low amount of bullets. Your Gangs objective is to become the biggest in Chicago. You can raid stores for food and water supplies. The Gang leader(Randomly picked player), can choose to keep the supplies for himself, or give them to his teammates. Keeping the supplies can make you stronger, with more opportunities to sell the supplies for money. Or you can give them to your team, so they are healthy and when wanting to raid or kill the opposing team are better off. The winner is the one who kills all of the other team or reach X amount of Cash.(By Clickhere123) Also The Option To Make And Brake Alliances/NAP's.(By Acela1a)

->Free Roam(Clickhere123)
Basically like in Red Dead Redemption, but with I Am Alive elements.

>PLOT
->Monster(By Various People)
This Could Be What Caused The Earthquake/Destuction

->Terrorist Attack(By Acela1a)
The Disaster Could Be Caused By Terrorists

->Cloverfield Link(By Various People)
If You Have Watched The Movie, You Will Understand, To Avoid Spoilers The Text Below Will Be Put In White(Highlight To Read).
<span class="ev_code_WHITE">Basically, A Monster Tears Up New York, With Lots Of Mini Monsters Accompanying It, They Are Infectious So Being Bit By One Makes You Transform Into Something Nasty... The Film Ends On A Cliffhanger... The Destruction In The Movie Is Similar To An Earthquake.</span>
This Could Be A Link Or Sequel To the Movie Perhaps.

>ACHIEVEMENTS

>OFFLINE PLAY

->Online Purchase(By Acela1a)
Ability To Buy And Download The Game Online.

->You In The Game

->Other Game Links(By Acela1a)
Another thought could be somehow get the characters from the Zettia Zetsumie Toshi (a.k.a Disaster Report and Raw Danger in the US,and The Final S.O.S known in UK) in this game. For those who do not know what that is, It's a game that takes place in a few cities and a natural disaster happens such as and Earthquake, tsunami, flooding and so on. So anyway the Character are in a simular situation with just arriving in their city and while trying to escape the city, they try to find out what the truth behind the disaster.One other though would be while playing single player career, have unlockable character through out the game, if not with the the main game release, make it purchaseable online.

That doesn't sound like too bad of an idea.

Fallout: New Vegas tried doing it, but it didn't work out too well.

What Feature Exactly?-
If You Mean The 3rd-1st Person Button, I Think It Was A Great Feature Which Worked Very Well, Although I Would Prefer It To Be In the Options Menu, It Uses Up A Button Which I Think Could Be Used For Something Else More Important

They should also introduce with ClickHere123 with in addition to gang vs gang, there should also be able to not just make alliances but also break them up. They should also do the same thing with single player. Also there should be in addition to the morality with character relationship system it should effect the character for example, if a character choices the right decision the main character's Moral goes up and increase energy and a bad decision should have a moral decrease with not just less energy, buy have tentions within you gang. There should also have benifits when being friends with other characters. An example would be for those who do not understand, if in the beginning of the game become friends with one person could get benifits such as knowledge to do something such as how to build some that is as good as a gun to creating stuff for medical use such as cruches, or even teach a combat tactics such as morse code. With an ambush, before raiding or attacking a rival, there should be a tactical map of the rival's compound or area and set friendly ai's or human players in certian positions to attack with no restuction of how many ai or hunan players placed in and area. also even a temporary control center with the leader of the gang. Not a moble trailer but a tent or something resembling a command post. Another thought could be somehow get the characters from the Zettia Zetsumie Toshi (a.k.a Disaster Report and Raw Danger in the US,and The Final S.O.S known in UK) in this game. For those who do not know what that is, It's a game that takes place in a few cities and a natural disaster happens such as and Earthquake, tsunami, flooding and so on. So anyway the Character are in a simular situation with just arriving in their city and while trying to escape the city, they try to find out what the truth behind the disaster. It's hard to explane this game sorry, for those who think all I said is rubbish, I apologize and it's just an idea. One other though would be while playing single player career, have unlockable character through out the game, if not with the the main game release, make it purchaseable online. One other thing for some people interested with a familiar release but in Japanese would be Zettia Zetsumei Toshi 4: Summer Memories. Hopefully it will be in English

Thanks

Thank you Clickhere123 for your complement and please put the link here. I guess since i've seen a sucessful concept such as ZZT (Zettia Zetsumei Toshi) series but poorly excecuted and maybe a thought in the future is somehow have both the ZZT series clash together with this game if it becomes a series. Oh by the way what I meant by multiple ideas is when controlling different characters, each different character has a different perspective such as Adam's perspective is it's a natural disaster and ultimately looking for his girlfriend. Then maybe through the eyes of the national guards which the goal is to save as many citizens as well as staying alive. Throughout the game there should be events revealed that show part of who is behind the disaster. The Best example would be the game Heavy Rain or the movie Vantage point. Another thing that might be possible from Raw Danger's concept of the decisions could interfere with another playable character. An example of this would be one again from Heavy Rain which is when one character dies, it effects other character and sometime escalates the situation. I sould of mentioned this which was have a split,co-op mode with the single player. The best example would be from Tom Clancy's Rainbows Six Vegas 1 & 2. But in addtion to that, the other players should not be restricted to the distance from one player to another. Regarding to multiple characters, there should be a character from the police which should start right before the disaster happens which the officer is about to have a normal work day but then during the disaster, the officer need to assist the rescue operations. However the officer is somehow left behind and finds out that there won't be a rescue from the national guard for 9 day even though the standard procedure is 3 days i think, but to make it realistic, somehow the first rescue attempt fails and the somehow the officer's radio works and somehow be the insider for the rescue operation. But during the nine days, he also gets different piece of the puzzle towards a plot behind the disaster. And somehow in the finale of the game, all the playable characters clash together depending on who is still left within the 9 days assumed. An example is one again the ending of the movie Vantage Point, the video game ending of Raw Danger, Deadrising 2(If there was multiple playable characters in single player mode. As the other point of referencing ZZT, but maybe also disaster movies such as Dante's Peak(1997), Daylight (1997), Earthquake Magnitude 10.3(2008), and other movies with even the Wii game Day of Disaster(2009). With what i said with plot's, it's just assuming i don't know about the development of the game. For other people who want add ideas to I Am Alive, I highly recommend play any games in the ZZT series which include the following: Disaster Report, Raw danger,and Final SOS. An interresting fact is the Japanese tranlation for those who do not know Zettia Zetsumie Toshi is Desperate Cities. corret me if i'm wrong anyone who is reading this post. This is one extra point which is related to the release of the game which is THIS GAME NEEDS TO BE RELEASED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA DEFINATELY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyone interest in ZZT 4 Summer Memories here is the Weblink

When refering to Your suvivor camp, why be restricted to just one, have more than one by no just taking over rival gang bases, but also place camps throughout the city anywhere, however the location should be secured and safe for a temporary purpose. to make it fair, to create bases, material are required. also be allowed to build outpost and guard towers throughout the city not just for protection but also for strategic purposes such as for altering your camp if there is an assault, ambush, seeing and attracting survivors, and stuff along those lines with also treating your character for medical purposes but also survivors.

I don't mean to oppose an idea but i do not think that there should be monsters involved. The reason is because there are already the type of games involving monsters attacking a city. How my suggestion is have a terrorist attack to make things realistic with what is going on in the world today. Sure they haven't caused as much destruction as an earthquake, but in a matter of time, they will. After all, you should see how much some of these terrorist group hate America at they want America wiped off the face of the earth. Besides if you people want a game with monsters such as the one in Cloverfield, make a game based off of the movie. The goal in my opinion of I Am Alive is to make it realistic as in a real disaster. However, I understand that alot of people likes this idea. But remember, this is just an opinion. For details what i meant about have terrorist behind the disaster, refer to my post in the " Is it earthquake or some sort of monster " in the last post of page 2. There is one other thing regarding toward the environment concept that was mentioned be Clickhere123 which in addition to the environment effecting the main character and what i said about the choices, the character should interact with the environment such as in the the case referring to Raw Danger, if a door is left open and never closed, it would stay open until other things cause the door to close. Another example that would be say if Adem need to rescue his girlfriend, and then in order to save here, he need to either remove a beam (looks like it could it could trigger the ceiling to collaspe) or find another way to rescue her. If Adam descides to move the beam, it make it harder for the cahracter to escape the building that that girlfriend is trapped in such as to the point where the building would collaspe. Refer to Raw Danger, Diasater Report and the other games in that series with cause and effect with the environment. In addition to what i said about customization, the player could change the nationality and thanks to the eye toy for Playstation, the connect for Xbox, and computer camera's, it might be possible for photoing yourself and place it on Adam. Another thing regarding towards environment is also the behavior of the Ai such as the type of people how they react to a situation. IT could go from losing a loved one to how the atmosphere if the ruined city of Chicago would be like at night time as opposed to day time. One of the best examples in America would the the New York city black out which happened somewhere between the early 1940-50's where the city was in complete madness. If that was back in between the early 1940-50's imagine what it would be be like such as a blackout in LA, NYC, London, Berlin, Paris, and other major cities in the world had a blackout for over a period of 24 hours. It's bad enough with the crime in Chicago today, but just imagine that situation in addition to a earthquake, blackouts, law enforcement not doing their jobs and help from outside the city could not help Chicage untill 9 days. Not oly that but think of Nwhen Tornado hit New Orleans a few yeard ago. flooding and the water became hazerdous. Take some of those elements into the enviormnet of I Am Alive and it could train people what to do in a familiar situation. Especially it the player lives in a major metropolitan city.I'm sure that Tokyo experiences earthquakes alot. On that last thought, if there was a sequel, it should be based of a city where such a natural disaster could happen such as San Francisco or La if the San Andrea Fault break
