Hey, this summer for a fun little project I'm going to make a game.
What kind of game should I make?
A squad shooter with 4 classes based on the Avatar:TLA/LoK universe would be amazing for competitive team play. You don't play as the Avatar him/herself but instead as a group of benders from a future version of either the United Republic Military or the Red Lotus who are looking to topple the government. Yes, the organization survived.
The Waterbender is your combat medic, you can heal on the move with a skin pouch that stores your Spirit Oasis water which refills automatically after not being used for a short amount of time. You also have a second skin of water for your combat moves which also needs to be meter managed.
The Earthbender is your support class, can temporarily put up a moveable wall, rocket you up into the air or set quicksand traps that immobilize opponents for a short time. Can sense nearby enemy movement if they are touching the ground. The slowest combat moves but they pack a punch and easily destroy enemy defenses.
The Firebender is your pure assault class, fireball spam for midrange, flamethrower breath for close quarters and lightning strikes are best for far away sniping. Can redirect lightning from the opponent's Firebender no matter where it was fired as long as you jump in its path.
The Airbender is your scout. Extremely fast and agile, can push enemies back, does area of effect damage, has a limited astral projection skill while meditating that leaves you vulnerable and can glide using the traditional staff for a short while. Big drawback is that he/she does the least amount of damage out of any unit.
Not too many specialty bender abilities are available since that would make the units way too powerful and take away their unique niche roles.
