Okay so, firstly this thread will be something like this one:
http://forum.toribash.com/showthread.php?t=502629
Which, I have gone through and it's not suitable for what I intend to achieve. So thus, a new thread is born. Secondly, if it's not in the right place...please go about moving it to where it needs to be.
Right, with that said let's get into the just of things.
I intend on starting a dev project within the next few days. More precisely I will be creating a game. I will be using Unity 5 and I am currently employed as an experienced c# developer so I do have experience. I also have an artistic background - the older faegs here should be aware of that. So no, this isn't a fully fledged "Idea for games" thread but more-so a "get an idea and implement it - with updates here and feedback from the community as we go" kind-of thread.
Let's make a game together guys. (Even though I'll be doing the heavy lifting).
Now, on to trends
Current trends include (But are not limited to)
Survival Games:
-DayZ
-h1z1
-Subnautica
-The forrest
-Stranded deep
-Minecraft
etc.
Moba's:
-Dota 2
-LoL
-Smite(3rd person moba)
etc.
FPS:
-BF
-COD
etc.
These 3 categories seem to be the most trending these days. (Excluding commercial single player-like titles.)
So firstly, we should perhaps go about choosing a category above. However, I want to create something extremely unique - for example, look at the game subnautica. It is so damn unique.
I am leaning towards a survival game with this development to be honest though. The game needs to be extremely customizable though, that is an important aspect for me. Eg. The way TB has so many customization options, dota has loads of items etc etc.
An example of unique again would be - I saw a moba/suvival type game the other day. (The name escapes me)
So with that wall of text said. Let's get to it, I plan on evolving this thread as we go. Also, once decided on the game - I will dev a proof of concept and get a team together.
Seriously peeps, lets do this. Also, if anyone is keen to partake in this project's technical side. Let me know.
What ideas do you guys have?

A good MOBA game will always get attention nowadays.
This is true.

Yeah man please do! I find the concept of a survival/moba-like game so intriguing. Basically, a "hardcore" version of moba games. Design and objective for such a game eludes me though(Even with my hundreds and hundreds of dota 2 hours experience) - will need some serious thought put into it and how it'll work.

That's the dynamic that eludes me as well. Forget the whole "Survival" aspect a bit.With some thought put into it imagine perhaps a different type of moba like this:
Remember the good old strategy days? Well, back then you had to provide things for your base etc as a whole - such as farming minerals etc.
5 a side starting on either ends of the "map". Each with a "throne"-type thing and/or base to defend. Basic moba stuff you know. However, you would then need to collect say wood,stone etc to build certain things. This can include weapons and structures. Each side will then go about building their base (Which they can do however they want in order to protect their "throne" or w/e) which allows for extreme tactics. Such as for example - when go against an enemy hero that say has the ability to break down walls with a huge charge - They can go about setting traps for that hero etc.
So you'll have a team of 5 with heroes that will do different things - gather, build etc and still need a system for "farm" and leveling which I have not thought of..
So basically, imagine a moba where you can build your own base and customize your weapons, build traps and other structures etc etc.
Just spit-balling here so if you concur no worries please do discuss.

Development Platform?
Unity 5.
It's powerful enough and mainly c# based which suits me perfectly.
I have given it some thought prior - but this is the best option. Considering I am a c# developer, the engine is now completely free with no limitations(unlike past versions), the publishing policies are kind and the game can be deployed onto almost all platforms.

Regarding that particular example, I really dislike that type of gameplay to be honest. Standing around beating hordes of bots ain't fun yo.
It is really limited and way too constant. However, you're right it is indeed a decent example of survival/moba fusion.
