The Concept Creators' Lounge

[AccountNoLongerUsed]

Im not sure anyone will like this idea, but here it goes: After seeing the Zombie 222 (the 1968 Mustang Fastback that was transformed into a even better, faster electric car), I got an idea: in GTA V, lets convert other classic vehicles into fast accelerating, tons of torque, instant response at 0rpm electric vehicles. My first idea? The MVC (Maximum Voltage Classics) Typhoon, a Declasse Tornado modified into an electric vehicle. There will be a few differences. For one, "MVC" will be on the hood instead of "Declasse", and "Typhoon" will be on the back instead of "Tornado". Secondly, the engine will now be in the back, so if you try and are able to open the front hood there will be nothing in it but a storage place. Finally, the MVC Typhoon will be much faster and better accelerating than the Declasse Tornado, and because its electric you do not have to worry about it blowing up on you. Shutting down, sure, but not blowing up, and it will only come in a hardtop variant.

Check out Ghetto Green's characters' section.

Officer Valeria Minozia and James 'Razor' Henderson are officially there! We have a lot to do with them in next missions, so make sure you take a look at their bio.
Also, I've made some minor changes in the soundtrack and added a new theme for menus. Check it out, too.

 

A new radio station, and 4th mission (Bent and Twisted) will come real soon. Stay tuned.

If anyone needs help writing stuff, designing radio stations, having character ideas, plot twists or some sh*t, call me up.

I'm free.

Is there a way I can move a post from this topic to my concept without copy/pasting the whole thing? I typed up a rather long mission concept in here and I want to put it in my concept thread in case the creators lounge gets revamped or anything, and my post is lost. Any advice is much appreciated.

I'd say your best bet is to just copy and paste.

What do you guys here think of the idea of a weapon having different skins, but mechanically being the same?* You can customize cars and clothes, so why not change a gun's appearance? Or, what about including different ways to hold them? I ask this because I'd like to nuke the thread linked to in my signature this at time of writing and replace it with a better one that has art and a HUD and such, but the gun porn aspect is still intact.

 

Pistol (Can be held in either standard position (both hands gripping the side) or gangsta style.)*

 

A common .40 pistol, between the 9x19mm, .45auto, and Magnum handguns. Strong enough at close range, and has a 10-15 round magazine. Cost is $300. Attachments include Flashlight, Laser, Reflex Scope, Silencer, Extended Magazine.

 

Damage: Medium from 1-20 feet, low from 21-35 feet, bullet drops off afterwards.

 

Skins: Tokarev, Glock 22, or S&W 5906.

It's been a while. The dust that has been collecting on Gray Valley is about to be swept off, as the seventh mission is in the works. I have the main objective down, but I feel like there isn't enough dialogue. I'll figure something out.

 

In the meantime, I've decided to scrap the map that I've been working on and take a new approach to it. The distance between cities will be greater, and the city sizes are much more "GTA-ish".

I haven't had a whole lot of time to check out any of the concepts in a while, but I'll be sure to hop on over to yours. I saw your little rant, if you will, on the last page, and I know what you mean. Any thing that says, "GTA VI", or, "Vice City" is sure to be jumped on faster than the other concepts. Despite that, I'm still continuing work on my concept, and there are people who read it and enjoy it. I'm glad that at least some do. That being said, no one should stop their work just because others may not enjoy it. If a creator wishes to cease production on a concept due to their own reasons, then it's understandable.

It's always nice to see ambitious, but realistic, newcomers around these parts. V kind of had skins for weapons, but Online expanded the amount, even if I didn't quite enjoy the selections. The skin idea is great. As for the gun holding mechanic, Watch Dogs did something akin to this. Aiden could hold one-handed weapons one-handed or two-handed. Watch some gameplay to see how it's done. Seeing as you want three options, it would be best to say that these could be changed in the quick menu, or whatever it's called.

Anyone has ideas on a original heist for a casino?

I'm kinda uninspired here, i can't think in neither a subtle or smart approach...

[AccountNoLongerUsed]

Ok, Im gonna try one more idea: The "Prepare For The End" Update. Basically, this update will include apocalyptic uparmored versions of various cars, including:

Bravado Buffalo S

Bravado Gauntlet
Declasse Vigero
Declasse Sabre GT
Imponte Phoenix
Imponte Ruiner
Vapid Dominator

As well as the normal and uparmored version of the Vapid Dominator Classic. All these cars will be purchasable at "Warstock Cache & Carry".

Clothes will include various things, including a Radiation Suit.

I'll PM you some stuff.

 

 

-snip-

The "Apocalyptic Treats" update or the "Illuminatic" update would be more suitable names in my opinion but you go for what you feel works the best for you!

 

Anywho, my "GTA: Britannia 1979" is almost done and will be popping up here the any day. Suggestions would be f*cking awesome.

I'm not in the U.K, so while I'm not too well-versed in U.K history and culture, I'll try and help you out. Why not have something related to the late Seventies' Mod culture revival? And for that matter, why not have some sort of GTA-ised Triumph Spitfire and Jaguar E-Type? Music-wise, some Cat Stevens, punk and progrock perhaps?

Well, the smart approach could be waiting until the casino's closed? Sure, there'd be guards, but deal with them and it'll go off without a hitch (until everyone gets back to the casino that is.)

Maybe include more survival missions? Animal survival? And some freemode activities or random encounters, never hear about those in these concepts.

 

Also, is there anywhere to rough-draft and link to things without posting first? And what about art, HUDs, maps, stations, etc.? I can't draw or use Photoshop to save a life, and I don't know about rap, electronic, pop, or other non-rock/non-hipster music so advice on those things would be much obliged.

I'm not really sure of another way to post content before the creation of the topic. Most simply put them in spoilers here. Folks at the GFX section might be willing to help you out with a HUD, so you might try that. If that doesn't go your way, someone here might help you. As for the radio stations, hop on over to the "Create a Radio Station" thread because those folks are a great help for radio station production.

this is a dumb thing that i thought, as you know i'm handling 3 cities, so when the storymode is done, you can take a flight to another city from the airport,a small cutscene of the plane taking off appears and the character comes back with a new outfit. (implying he had a vacation and bought new clothes)

EX: you go to Liberty City and the character gets a "I ♡ LC" T-Shirt or you go to Los Santos and you get a San Andreas t-shirt.

 

Is this a good idea?

Using the airport as basically another clothing shop?

Sure, I creepily say after you just posted. But, can't you also visit that location? Or is there a guy in each place? Maybe you can fly to the other place and have a special clothes store called "Gift Shop" in that state's major airport?

[The Dedito Gae]

..can't you also visit that location? Or is there a guy in each place?...

Nah, is just a cutscene where you see the plane taking off and shortly coming back with the character already dressed in a new piece of clothing, i'm not interested in creating a "gta America", i already have enough in my plate with 3 cities.

[ClaudX]

A better idea is to have a souvenir shop in the airports' interiors. There you can buy a "I <3 LC" shirt and the likes.

 

Think about it from the player's perspective. You see that there is an option to fly to Liberty City or Vice City. You're ecstatic. You quickly click that option and you immediately become disappointed. You watched a cutscene of an airplane taking off and all you got was a lousy T-shirt.

[The Dedito Gae]

..You watched a cutscene of an airplane taking off and all you got was a lousy T-shirt.

Excellent feedback, as usual, not to mention i can create another clothing shop now, mostly easter eggs to past gtas.

It's been awhile since I've last checked out the concept section, but I haven't made much progress on my concepts. However I'll try and work on the characters in my LV concept, and post them here soon. What kind of gangs are active in Las Vegas?

A lot of mobs 'cause of the gambling I guess. Just take mobs from previous games (Albanian, Triads, Leone, Forelli, Sindacco etc.) and you will do fine There would also be some biker gangs (Lost MC, Angels of Death MC etc.) and maybe some street gangs (Families, Vagos, Ballas etc.)

 

EDIT: Just ask if you need help naming a gang. Naming gangs is one of my strong suits actually

No worries, haha. Your concept is good, but as you said it's little too little so far.

I just expanded my concept. It would be helpful for people to point out which things would be extremely stupid.

[Severe]

Sort of off-topic, but I thought this Dodge commerical comes pretty close to how I'd make an intro for a present day (or past day) Vice City game, in terms of scenery and cinematography.

I've just finished writing my fifth mission for ghetto green, and, i wanted to ask you something before I publish it.

What kind of an officer do you expect Valeria to be? What do you think about her? Do you think she'll help greens to do their thing, or not?

She seems like she'd rat them out to another officer before she helps them.

I love making up cars for GTA. It's so fun writing the descriptions.

[The Dedito Gae]

From what i've read is pretty boring, mostly random crimes and white people selling meth, we had plenty of that in V...

I had to take some -Hmm- creative liberties with the scene.

 

So, which clothes are better? (Minor character in my concept)

I beg to differ. Roman's shirt is zany, and it only works with a zany character: Roman. The tracksuit is better, in my opinion.

[PhillBellic]

I prefer the Tracksuit Version.

[Predator]

Tracksuits only look good on Niko , and they are too overused

 

 

this is not bad

 

Edited July 9, 2015 by Ganton

Tracksuit, gives the character a more thuggish appeal than a patterned shirt. More inconspicuous.
