I believe I have enough to move on and show you guys some things. The name will be Jumper: The Way of Life.

And my mouse is fritzing on me so I'll keep it short. :P

And update the first page as soon as possible.

I like the update, the idea of "Golden Guards" is cool, along with "air"-renas. I wouldn't go for custom models, maybe custom skins however.

EDIT: okay, I change my mind, now I say go ahead with custom models. Maybe a clone-trooper sort of appearance for the golden guards, just with less armor and more golden. Or maybe like a cipher peon from pokemon colosseum (seen here: http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/u ... akle_B.png or here: http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/u ... on_XD1.png).
I don't know what else custom models would be made for, a custom skybox (an arena or colosseum skybox) would be useful.

the classic mode sounds cool, maybe like in mario kart there's "retro" and "nitro" courses, except here it'd be "classic" and something else, like "modern".
I don't exactly understand what "individual maps" means, please expand on that.
campaign mode seems like a cool way of saying "adventure" or "story" mode, I like that :)

I don't know what OST sounds for, I know it as official soundtrack, but it did give me an idea: maybe each team has their own custom theme describing them.

As for choosing teams, maybe it could be a difficulty thing, blue is calm and simple, green is tougher, red is fiery and difficult, and the unlocked golden guard team is legendary or something...

I think that's all I have for now...

My mind went blank because I just got back from a short holiday, and I'm going on another in 2 days... Was I going to make music for this game? I forgot :P

I like something along the lines of "Bounding: the Game of Jumping Jacks". :D but the game sounds pretty cool though.

If you have the time ;D I know your busy so only if you can. The OST can wait however, and be a DLC or something.

CP, basically that's the type of suit I would like to have for the Jumpers.
Custom models will most likely come later, as it's more important to get gameplay down than anything else.
Classic mode and individual airenas are basically the same, and therefore might be melded together. And yeah, campaign just seemed better than story mode. However, I did have a few ideas for another name:
The Journey of Extreme Jumpers (something like that, maybe shorter)

OST is Original Soundtrack. And yeah, you've got it spot on, each team has a theme.

Also, I've considered something similar for the colors. Each color has a Jumper style. Whether it be hard jumps, or launchers, you can find your style and then stick to it. That doesn't mean the LEJ will use your particular style, it just means that when an airena has you favorite style, you can blaze through the map. The main difference between hard jumps and launchers are hard jumps require smaller distance between platforms as well as a flatter zone. It's hard to press upwards to the goal if your using hard jumps, thus there will usually be one or two launchers in each map. Launchers on the other hand require unique geometry to fully utilize their fun and diverse uses. It can simulate wall runs and things like that, but can also launch you crosswise across the map. It really does vary, and I'll use all sorts of techniques to make each map fun.

And... that's all I have for now too :P

Well, names for the Campaign mode... or actually! Solved. I realized I can have the button as Campaign mode, and when you go to select the start map, it'll say League of Extreme Jumpers or some such name :)

You guys have anymore ideas?

I'll be working on concepts now.

I have a Red training airena complete, and have a partially completed Blue airena. I'm also working on a Legend mode airena. :D

Pics to come soon!
