Fortnite Brand New Game Idea!
With Fortnite: Battle Royale gaining popularity, people are constantly craving for something new. Many people love the game while others aren't too fond of it due to their lack of skill. This is the best possible time to release a brand new game and create another option for lovers of Fortnite. Yes, there is the story mode, "Save the World," but it doesn't seem like this is what people want. I'm thinking of a whole new game within Fortnite that opens up a different type of content.
A long time ago I had this idea; an open vast world (like Planetside 2) where you are created by two players that are already in the game (your in-game parents) and you live within a village with other online players- you can create a village with your friends if you choose to which is recommended. You begin as a child, level 1, the town leaders (older players who have been in the game for a while) go out to collect resources and you expand your village and such. As you play more you gain unique traits like hunting skills, running skills, and other different factors that make your character stronger and older. More time on the game= the older and stronger you get.
You can build like in Battle Royale. <-- That really explains it all.
There are jobs/roles within the towns. Ex: You can chose to be a blacksmith which opens you up to making weapons and gaining strength, you can be a hunter which increases your running and stealth, etc.
There are random events that Epic doesn't even reveal. Ex: You could be hunting and out of no where your screen starts to shake and the trees fall revealing a giant that you and your village/squad you're with have to take down. These random events should be a complete surprise. It would be so cool if things happened in the game that people who have been playing for months have never seen or even heard about. An example could be like a pack of mutant monkeys start chasing your squad and the oldest person that's with you yells at you to run because he didn't even know that these were in the game until now. The possibilities are endless.
There is VOICE CHAT. The closer you are to someone the better you can hear them- simple as that. Walkie-talkies would be pretty cool. ;)
You can visit other friends (or enemies) in other towns by traveling there. This game is a world with everyone on it. You can make friends or make enemies. You can have wars and you can have alliances. THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS.
There are random quests. There is a board at every town. Every so often a quest appears on this board that you can go on with your friends and such.
Always something new. If a player gets bored of their village they're in, they can just move to a different one- simple as that.
THE GAME IS FREE. The big problem with Save the World is that it costs money. It's sad but the only real efficient way to gain popularity on a game is to make the game free; do this and add some in-game purchases and you'll have tons of players.
These are just a few of my thoughts for this idea. Myth also said something like this idea in a recent stream. He was describing it to be like the factions game mode that was unbelievably popular on Minecraft. He also mentioned how there's already a grid system in place which is a huge advantage if they do choose to make this game.
Also, balancing and stuff would need to be implemented so there isn't one team just demolishing everyone but if Epic can make a great game like Fortnite: Battle Royale, they'll have no problem with this idea.
