The theif is game concept i just came up with.......... The basic idea is that you get to create a character customize this character and you get a place you start out with an apartment then as you make money you can get a house and of course a mansion as you progress each of these places you can also customize and upgrade them but with this game you can interact with other gamers places and characters in real time to either make friends and socialize just for the sake of socializing or you can make friends socialize to just try and steal stuff from them as a role playing con artist and of course you can straight up try and steal stuff from a players place when their not home or online so one part of the game is like sims and i use that comparison lightly as the ideas are similar but the graphics & art style dont have to be it can be 2D animated images or cell shaded for all i care just as long as its very high production stuff but it doesn't have to be 3D hardware intensive stuff the other part of the game is the social interaction or social networking layer as in each place in itself is a social environment where players can chat and interact with each other invite friends ect and each place resides in a neighborhood which in itself is a group very similar to how groups work on social networks the last part is all about stealing stuff this will make up the bulk of the game play experience and right now im leaning towards it being a combination of a very clever collection of mini games that represent the act of breaking and entering and trying to steal stuff from each other and of course moving around as your character and interacting with objects in the virtual places the mini games will be a combination of player skill/puzzle solving skills as well as character skill as you progress your character levels up and gets better at guessing and/or cracking alarm codes or disarming the system, picking locks, cracking safes ect the mini games will vary depending on what security systems the player has installed for their space it also will vary depending on what passcodes the player has saved for their security system some security systems you have to be a certain level to even attempt to disarm them the cheap low level systems can be broken easily but you can always buy a watch dog or buy a guard bot and stuff like that which will ads more complexity and make each heist unique also keep in mind that you can not only cooperatively interact in a virtual place with another user but you can also cooperatively go on heists together which will ad bonus attributes except over 3 anymore then that your sneak level goes down and your more easily caught speaking of getting caught theres two ways to get caught operation blown as in an alarm is set off or too much noise or suspicion level and fake neighboors call the cops stuff like that basically player fault the second way to get caught is by being caught by the player that owns the space like say they come back to their place or sign on as your trying to steal their stuff when this is happening if your a high level thief you will get an alert and have the option to bail out if your a low level thief you will never see it coming but if you are caught by the other player that owns the space a mini game pops up which of course the owner can opt out of by just calling the cops which lets the thief go but with a 50/50 chance of recovering your stolen goods from the thief. the mini game itself represents a confrontation you can do that in many ways but if the thief wins he gets away clean if the owner wins the thief gets busted and loses some of their credits or virtual money when you get busted you have to spend credits to get out of jail of course but your also put on house arrest and you can not leave your house for an hours or so of game time or real time whatever you want to do if you get busted a lot in a short period of time you will have to server a jail sentence and be blocked from the game for X amount of time oh and last but not least as a thief you are anonymous until you get busted once you get busted your identity not your real identity but your gamertag becomes know to the player who you tried to steal from if you get away the player will never know who stole from them idk i just came up with the idea seems like it would be fun what do you guys think?
