Hello, it is a great pleasure to greet you. I am writing to you because I need your knowledge in game creation. I want to create a game, but I really don't know how to do it and I don't have time to learn.
I would really like you to create a game for me. You can put the game in your name and do whatever you want with it. If you sell it, you would give me a percentage. Hahaha. I am a big fan of the Olympic games and at the same time I am a fan of ancient Greece. And I found out while researching that there were ancient Olympic games, with their respective disciplines.
In these games they were not by countries but by the city states of all Greece (https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Campeones_de_los_Juegos_Ol%C3%ADmpicos_en_la_Antig%C3%BCedad), and they had their own Olympic disciplines which would be:
SPORTS EVENTS
single race double race DIAULOS
long distance race dolikhos wrestling
boxing horse race
chariot race bigas chariot race quadrigas
mule race trotting race
pankration hoplite race
herald contest trumpeter contest
music contest singing contest
acting contest
PENTATHLON CONSISTS OF 5 DISCIPLINES
jump discus throw
javelin throw single race
wrestling
ADDITIONAL DISCIPLINES
CURRENT
ROPE PULL And loosen up
HEREOS GAMES
Simple stadium race (female)
In this video from minute 55 they explain what each competition was like (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RubeM83kjtM&t=3448s) well the idea would be to create a video game but one that focuses on the ancient Olympics, that has all these disciplines, the disciplines of heralds, trumpeters, music, singing and acting I would leave them to your imagination, I could suggest this (Artistic Events: For the disciplines of music, singing and acting, you could create mini-games that involve rhythm or decision making, where players must choose the best options to impress the jury). it would not be necessary to place them all as long as you place 2 out of 5 it would be enough.
Now I'm not asking you to create the game from scratch as such, I don't know if it's possible for you, but you can take this nes rom (capcom gold medal Challenge 92) as a base, break it and create the game with this same Sprite base and you would adapt everything in the same game, as you see I'm not demanding, for me these Sprites and the shape of the game adapt perfectly to create a video game like this.
I'll leave you some example images in case you don't know the game and you can see it on YouTube:
As you can see it would look flashy and the athletes' attire would be changed for these models
And in the hoplite racing event as you can see the athletes must wear a helmet, breastplate and Greek combat shield, of course using the Nintendo NES Sprites
In the award ceremony of the athletes of the ancient Olympics they were awarded with an olive wreath placed on their head, so in the award cinematic you can skip when they are given the medal, but just have the athletes come out with their crowns on their heads at once:
Now for the equestrian events you can use any of these two models one is from NES and the other is zxspectrum (you would only do it for the races where the horses and chariots run in a straight line), the games are: HORSE RACING zx spectrum and Isaki Shuugorou no Keiba Hisshougaku NINTENDO NES
For horse racing with a car you can use any model from any game and try to get or create a track like it was in the ancient Olympic games:
As you can see it is a track where the horses have to go around once or several times, you can set the view of the track as you like and desire.
For the fighting events which are:
wrestling boxing pancratation
You can use the games and Sprites you want from Nintendo NES, Super NES, whatever you like.
As you see, it sounds like an ambitious project. I don't know if, with today's artificial intelligence and your knowledge, making a NES game with this mode would be easy for you. I would like to make this game a reality. I hope you can help me. And as I told you, you can take it for yourself and make a profit. And well, if you want to give me something for the idea and if you make a profit from it, well, I would thank you a million times. But what I want most is to play them and see how many olive crowns I can collect with the Greek city I choose. It would be great to be able to play a game like that.
