There are a lot of good free games on GGE already, but we need more, so don't hesitate to help and submit more good free games. Don't forget to add the free tag to the free games you submit, and if it's a game which you can download and/or play immediately, also add the playable tag. Thanks!

]]> 19 Dec 2006 03:02:14 Game Idea a Day Many of the groups on here suffer from very little content and die away. The aim of this group is to provide a game idea - be it a plot, a mechanic, a new genre, a twist on an old genre - every day. I've got the first week covered, and I hope people will help me out.

Every idea will belong to it's creator, and if anyone wants to develop one of these ideas talk to the creator first.

]]> 02 Dec 2006 09:56:37 Tribalwar Tribalwar.com : The voice of the Tribes community

TribalWar, often abbreviated TW, is an online community that originally focused on the game Starsiege: Tribes - a team-based online multiplayer first person shooter, and its subsequent sequels. TribalWar was started on December 6, 1999, by Anthony "Rayn" Maio, Jon "Ratorasniki" Naiman and Johnny "Imposter" Titus. The website has since expanded its news coverage to general gaming due to the financial failure of the most recent Tribes game, Tribes: Vengeance, the presumed end to the Tribes franchise.

The most popular feature of TribalWar's website is our message board. TW has just over 7 million posts and approximately 15,800 members, and uses a heavily modified version of vBulletin.

It's a place for those who think that games can be filled with drama that doesn't always need to come from muscular men with big guns or mutants with cool powers.

It's where we can come to discuss how the writer's craft can be best brought to bear in the games medium.

]]> 22 Nov 2006 02:04:06 Say NO to User Ratings We at the "Say NO to User Ratings" group believe that the policy of being able to give a rating to actual individuals in the Great Games Experiment community is flawed and has the potential for abuse. We stand for the removal of user ratings totally.

If you agree with the above statement, then join the group. Make sure to give the group a "1" rating (the lowest possible) as a symbolic initiation.
]]> 13 Nov 2006 11:08:08 Christian Developers Come join the group in which we celebrate God's love for us - Let's try and praise him with all of our talents: including Game Development/Publishing/Gaming. Discuss game concepts, techniques, and styles that may bring others to learn about our gracious God, or strengthen the faiths of those who are struggling!

It's also a rare case that a game with a Christian message is released commercially, and with a good number of audience. Part of this group is also to discuss ways of implementing Christian morals and/or messages into games that can appeal to all audiences.

Even if you're not a Christian, we will happily invite you into this group, in case you'd like to have a friendly debate, would like to drop a few lines, or if you're at all intrigued or interested in the Christian/Biblical Message, we would love to help you establish a relationship with God.

]]> 22 Dec 2006 10:25:32 GCP Welcome to the Game Concept Project (better known as GCP) Group! Here is a quick overview of what exactly we are:

What is you goal/mission?
Our goal is to come up with a game that strikes everyones intrest. And to do that we need you to participate in the polls and sign up for this group! I cannot stress enough that our greatest source is you. Please, this group is open to all people whether you have any gaming (or game making) experience at all!


___________________________________________________________________
GCP Stands for "Gamer Concept Project".
GCP is the first accomplishment of the new company Inginuenity Gaming Corperation run by myself.
Description::

What if Garage Games consulted the wider GGE community on the design of its next game? From the type of genre to art-style, the community would have a say in how this "game experiment" could take shape, and would be a chance to do what everyone here really wants...to design games! :)


Okay obviously not everyone is going to have the same idea and the design process could get messy. So one way to accomplish this would be for interested people to submit ideas on a new purpose built "Game Experiment" section of the GGE, the staff at Garage Games would pick the most appropriate and unique concepts and ask the public to vote, asking for more ideas with every step of the design process - from how many players to the level design. Users could even contribute with the music and art with various competitions deciding the "winner" of each category. It would have to be very hands on for the community to be a part of the process and it could take years for anything to emerge - but I think it will definitely get people interested and even excited.

The above is just a rough idea of what would need to be done for the idea to succeed, but I can imagine a lot of people liking and wanting to be a part of it, possibly leading to a much larger community.

Thoughts? Join and post!
