Game interest question

acidhedz

I am working on a game concept, although atm I have not the money to make it happen, I need a programmer. However I would like to get some feedback on if the game would have an audience.

I used to play a game called duels, which has since died the death of the gaming company run amoke with other people's money (used 1mil of investor money to start a bunch of crap games and more or less started ignoring duels, which was the game that made them, then got bought by another company that buried their games alltogether).

Anyway, I liked some of the stuff in the game and started on my own version of the concept.

The concept I am worjking on would be narrative based to start with, maybe completly. So no graphics besides the interface.

It would be based in a world I created for a novel I am working on.

Players would control a stable of fighters.

Items are gotten from packs, and would be collectables. No two items would ever be 100% alike. For example I have already done 10,100 short swords only using one att boost and no other special abilites. Considering all the different kinds of weapons it would take a while to run out of new items.

Items have base damage and up to 4 special abilities. Players will level up, I figure 50 levels to start with. They can use gear of their level or lower. I already have a system for determining gear level.

Eventually the game would have the following as well as the basic pet gladitor vs pet gladiator fights.

Tournaments. Auction house. Tactics (battle round modifiers). Openinig attacks. Skills. Badges. Quests.

I want to start with basic weapons and armor, then exapnd with other slots. 2 hands, head, torso, pants, shins, shoulders, feet, gloves, 2 wrist slots, 2 ring slots, belt, cape, glasses/goggles, necklace. So there would be armor sets and individual pieces.

 

I like to add humor to the things I do so quests, gear names, NPC names, and anything/everything will range from cool to silly.

For example, a bit of the type of fight narrative I have in mind:

You swing your weapon with the force of a mighty dragon! (heavy attack)

Sucka dissed you big time homie! (dodged)

He lashes out with lightning speed (attack)

You reel with shock as it tears into your groin forcing you to your knees  (crit hit)

So... if I can get it made, would you play it? If yes, what would you like the most. If not, why?
