Assembling furniture is one of my most hated activities.... so the idea of a game... ya

 

[Syf]

This is amazing Sethos, but I would never, ever, ever, ever, play it. Fucking hate assembling furniture.

What if it has achievements?

 

[dark_inferno]

Hard Mode : You have no arms.

 

[Daingurse]

What if it has achievements?

Achievements do nothing for me, sooooo . . . nope lol. Still, I want this to exist . . .

 

[EsotericManiac]

achievement for not swearing

 

[hoserx]

achievement for not motherfucking the entire nation of Sweden for an entire assembly.

 

[Billen]

Will it be 1080p and 60 fps?

 

[Screaming Meat]

Kotaku are gonna be all over you about 'Nag Attack'.

 

[Mihos]

 

[RibbedHero]

Snus sucks.

 

[Axass]

Interesting. If Little Inferno exists, a game where you litterally just burn stuff (and IMO it's a good game for what it does), this has great chances as well. Though in weird little games like these what's important is the sense of "escalation": by the end of the game you should build space rockets or something along those lines. See the aforementioned Little Inferno (where you burn the sun), Katamari Damacy (where you roll entire states), ecc.

Yes, I'm taking you seriously.

Hard Mode : You have no arms.

Octodad: Furniture Edition?

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

Make sure the in-game economy works well, because the second somebody has more than $50 in their wallet, they're probably not going to shop at IKEA.

 

[davepoobond]

I like it

 

[Biochet]

How about a mode where you try and assemble furniture drunk, or will that be DLC?

 

[ElectricBanquet]

Just need Hollywood voice actors, overproduced "cinematic" cutscenes, and liberal use of QTEs and this could be a winner.

 

[Mista Koo]

Aside from the sexist parts I like it. Although I would change the modes into:

• Time attack: assemble as many parts as you can within the given time.
• Puzzle: assemble the parts without a manual.
• Decorate: choose the parts that match the given room and be scored on the overall appearance.
• Jenga: take turns disassembling the parts, if it falls apart you lose.

All these modes would work in both single player and multiplayer.

Give the game a better name (SETHÖS?) and a Mirror's Edge like art style and you got a winner.

 

[mantidor]

This only has a shot of being fun if it uses motion controls.

edit: Also, the physics and overall engine will not be trivial, unless you just do a "chose the correct order of assembly" gameplay mechanic, but that also sounds dull.

It is promising, I might steal your idea and I'll give you a note at the end of the credits.

 

[Corto]

As long as it gets a Special Limited Edition that comes with a plate of swedish meatballs I'll be buying this.

 

[Einz]

This... this is actually hilariously amazing!

 

[xxracerxx]

So Trauma Center for furniture.

 

[Coreda]

If it were like Surgeon Simulator I'd play it. Could let loose my drunk building and interior decorating skills on an entire room!

 

[Mesoian]

I bet if you took this to a game jam, you'd come away with something pretty interesting.

 

[pinny]

Snus sucks.

Thank you.

 

[Interframe]

GOTY 2013. BELIEVE.

 

[DarkKyo]

Perfect.

 

[Coconut]

I don't know man. It's like, if you just told me what Tetris was if probably say its a bad idea but show me Tetris and I'd get it.

 

[Rawket Lawnchair]

Do we need to get a Titan to play it?

 

[CaptainGyro]

The game is sexist

 

[WolvenOne]

Meh, it doesn't compare to my Black Friday themed Survival Horror game, styled after Uncharted gameplay. XD

 

[Dirk Benedict]

Day one.

 

[Åesop]

preordered

 

[Kid Ska]

I'm on board. I like the effort that went into this too, it's on par with a decent kickstarter page.

 

[M.W.]

It could all be QTE's.

 

[MCN]

I have no skills or experience to bring to the team, but I want in on this project.

 

[Dinjooh]

Snus sucks.

This.

Spoiler

Hvor fanden køber du øl?

 

[J-Tier]

I'm in. This sounds like a winner.

 

[Afrodium]

Hilarious idea that just might work. I could see this gaining some traction as a quirky indie title.

 

[Terbinator]

 

[Holygriever]

Form a partnership with Ikea. Every furniture piece comes with a DLC code so you can learn to assemble it virtually before commiting to the heavy lifting.

???

Profit.

 

[Odrion]

Give it 3D Printer support.

 

[Spazznid]

If it were indie I'd be all for it. You could come out with seasonal catalogs of new furniture to Put together.


Bonus mini game could be to take them apart in the right order.

Nice.

Shitty Surgery Simulator style controls and deduce points in Nag-attack if you aren't careful with tools and scratch them/smash them around/fasten too tight.

 

[fluffydelusions]

Quad core, 780 recommended specs?

 

[maniac-kun]

This screams for Occulus Rift support!

 

[Visualante2]

Would it have intentionally bad QWOP/Surgeon Simulator controls?

Also, once you complete the furniture there should be a bonus round where you get to smash it to pieces with a sledgehammer.

edit. Mihos wins

 

[BloodMoney]

I'd much rather play with Lego's

 

[Zabant]

If it was really a game about ikea it would be nothing but a zip file with a copy of unity and some unreadable instructions in it.

Anyway, if you need some help with sick achievement ideas, i'm your man:

"Probably didnt need that anyway" - Finished a Cabinet with a spare screw.

 

[Corto]

YES. Pixelated art style to jump on the Minecraft bandwagon. Great idea! We're moving people! Can you feel the magic? This is gold!
