Sounds like a good idea, this i think is a problem many big companies often fall into today, but they refuse to stop the game, and instead release it.
A game should be fun and the ideas for gameplay and such should come naturally, no amount of tech is ever gonna be able to carry a game.
But if you can apply alot of the tech on this other game, well then it hasnt all been for nothing atleast.
I do hope that we someday will see Subversion in some shape or form. But gameplay should always be the priority.
I still think you guys should consindering doing Uplink 2 and stuff like that to get your selfs some cash and room to work, its not easy being a small time indie developer. Its a shame you dont have a game like Minecraft that would keep selling and keep selling every time small updates are add.
One thing is certain Introversion makes some truely fun and unique games, Uplink is still my favorite though, nothing in that genre will ever come close, there has been quite a few clones of uplink, but Uplink is the best, the music, the feel, the atmosphere, its amazing how much you can do with so little.
The way ive always pictures subversion or something like that in my mind well.
It would be something like say Mission impossible meet Occeans elleven, what jobs you can pull depends on how many guys you have and what abilities their have and how good they are, then ofc gadgets and tech would also apply. It might not be how heists and bank robbery work in the real world. But ive always found it very cool how in those 2 movies how they have alot of people doing many small things in order to pull off the job, anything from distrating guards with idle chat or ballons, to remote controlling elevator, going outside buildings from top or buttom, using EMP to cut power.
But again you gotta have youre own vision for a game, having to force ideas means the time isnt right, gameplay ideas should come naturally. Maybe you could ask creative people on the forums for ideas well explained and such, and you could always consinder them.
