Would anyone enjoy an Amiibo Simulator?

SamCreated:
I've been working extremely hard on my most recent project (it has nothing to do with this), and I just had another game idea today. I think it's genuine, and I'd like to know everyone's thoughts. The game would basically be a clone of Super Smash Bros, however it would focus on the concept of training amiibo (because of copyright, I suggest we call them amiboo). You would be able to pick your amiboo's character, and train it up to Level 50. It would work just like in Sm4sh: the amiboo learns from what you do, and it could fight against other amiboo. But here comes the cool part: a player would be able to save their amiboo in a DAT file and share it online! Players could organize amiboo tournaments and challenge their friends to see who trained their amiboo the best. Does it sound cool enough to be worth working on? It's a big project: I'd need to program game physics, several moves for every character, amiibo learning formulas, etc. I didn't create this thread to ask for help, by the way: I'm fine with doing all this by myself, unless someone wants to volunteer.

"amieboo!" da da da Sounds cool, but yeah this would be a massive project. Probably. If you don't need custom graphics then it's not as bad but still a big program. Sounds like Super Petit Brawl with Amehbuh. Name ideas:
  • amiboo
  • amieboo
  • amehbuh
  • ameoba
  • amebo
  • meboah Most of these are actually supposed to be serious, I like amieboo or amehbuh. Ameoba would be great but makes no sense :O

  • I've only received very positive answers so far. I'll start working on it, and we'll see how it goes. And yes Minxrod, I'll be making custom graphics (mostly to avoid copyright infringement). Cool name ideas! Everyone is invited to suggest ideas for the game.


    Fighter ideas:
    • Angel
    • Turtle
    • Knight
    • Mage
    • Archer

    Sounds pretty good. I'd like to see this. I won't be able to help 'cause I suck at programming in general.

    Coooool graphics r gud Also, I has a suggestization: add extraer suffixesinger Maybe use the two Petit Computer peoples! The boy with red hair and the mage-girl :P

    Did I forget to mention we're doing a Smash clone? Sorry I wasn't clear about that, but all the characters should be parodies of Sm4sh characters.
    SpoilerLike, sanic. GET HYPE???

    I have an idea that may or may not work; an online mode. If not, local multiplayer. Playing with another person is always fun, especially amoeba to amiboo.

    Online Multiplayer is impossible in SmileBASIC unfortunately. Alright, there should be two kinds of amiibo in the game: amiboo and amoeba. Now we need to determinate the differences between the two. :P

    Then here's a revised list
    • Dragon Turtle
    • Fire Lizard (Or Maroon Dragon)
    • Lunk
    • Dance Coach (Wii Fit Trainer)

    Amoeba has wacky hitboxes? Amoeba has a certain color sprite? I have no idea :P Color might be good just for distinguishing them in game though.

    How about we call them Virtua Battlers (Unless you really want those Amiibo puns...) :P

    Virtua fighter was a thing back on the Sega. So you would then be stepping on those toes

    @UltraPheonix4 These names are just random stuff you brought from your imagination, right? They sound good: we might use some! A friend gave me some pretty funny character ideas, here are some of them: Link would be based from
    Spoiler CDi Link
    Mega Man would be based from
    Spoiler Mega Derp
    Of course, Luigi would be
    Spoiler Weegee
    Any other ideas? I just realized that some people are expecting a serious game rather than a parody. This is fine, and here's my idea: "amiboo" will be parodies of Sm4sh characters, while "amoeba" will be SmileBASIC-ish characters (like,

    Fighter ideas:
    • Angel
    • Turtle
    • Knight
    • Mage
    • Archer
    ). I hope my decision will satisfy everyone. Keep up the cool suggestions!

    Suuure :D That actually makes sense. You should use some parodies and some completely new characters too Variety is good in a game :P

    yay

    Mega Man would be based from
    Spoiler Mega Derp
    Spoiler This?

    LOL WHAT THE Hey guys, today I finished implementing the character design for one character. Here's a juicy screenshot to build your impatience. The moving and jumping physics are already done, now all I have to do is an enemy learning from your moves. EDIT: and attacks. Yeah, they're done, too. At this point, I can promise a public version for this weekend.

    But Sega buyed SmileBASIC so its fine i think
    ..,Maybe use the two Petit Computer peoples! The boy with red hair and the mage-girl :P
    yesssssss
