My idea for a game

[darkanedreaper]

Ok, I had this idea for a long time and I've modified it over and over and refined the idea, and I want to make it a reality. the title of the game is N.O.C.H.Y.S. (No One Can Hear You Scream) and it's set somewhere very very far from earth. the current iteration of the idea is:
a salvage and repair team is sent to investigate a loss of communications with a research station orbiting a planet. this station holds high value to the government, known as United Systems of Humanity (USH), and this makes the repair mission a priority. your squad is cross-trained with military skills and engineering skills of various types, such as piloting, hand-to-hand combat, marksmanship, crafting, repair, forging, smelting, and even hacking. When you arrive the station is empty, no bodies, no people, nothing. it's like everyone just disappeared. you try to contact your ship, but get no response. when you make it back to the ship it's a massacre. blood everywhere, but, oddly, no bodies. in the 24 hours you've been investigating the station the ship has been completely wrecked, engines destroyed, most escape pods torn apart, and many of the systems and doors sabotaged. it is as if the crew was trying to keep something from using the ship.

That is the start of the game. now on to gameplay.

My idea is for a fluid style of gameplay in the first person perspective. The melee combat has to feel like a quicktime event with the exception that you can control how it goes, and the ranged combat has to feel more like you are there trying to keep the creatures away. the movement also has to be fluid, and the following things are precious and necessary: air, energy, health, armor. you're suit can be damaged to the point it starts leaking air when there isn't an atmosphere, and can be repaired. health, when at 0-5%, can be restored in an emergency using BMG (Bio-Medical Gel), and when not critical it can be restored a little more quickly than normal over a brief period using stimpacks. if you run out of energy you are more vulnerable to environmental hazards, and if there's no air you'll have about 3 minutes to get back into an area with air. which can be difficult in this game. so everything has to be conserved, and every resource used to craft is extremely precious. this is my idea for a game. it will be survival horror as it has never been done before. and it's a TACTICAL survival horror, meaning if you aren't smart about how you go about a situation you most likely will die. and you can't stay in one place for too long or the creatures WILL find you, usually spawning nearby. this ship once was your home, now it's their hunting ground. and in space...No One Can Hear You Scream.

so, tell me what you think of this idea and give me some suggestions on how I might go about making the game and even how to flesh out or improve the idea. thanks cohhilition for reading this long post, and for any suggestions you may give. and hopefully this game will be created and be everything I want it to be! Reaper out.

This sounds incredible! I think it has a lot of potential if you could get good people on board and develop it right

thanks. I figure with how gruesome it's gonna be it'll probably be rated M. and I already have an idea for the trailer. the trailer will be a first-person cinematic-style video.

Yeah. Is this your first game to develop? Aiming high and being ambitious is great, but all I'd suggest is to not aim too high for your skills or budget. Also, Rated M...For Meaty?

lol. yeah, I have other games in mind but this is my biggest idea. and it spans over multiple games, too. I was going to save this one for later but I just want the idea out there to see the response it might receive.
