If you had to make a game about being a lumberjack

I make little tiny games, and I really want to make one about lumberjacks. There are about two lumberjack games in existance, and this saddens me.

I still don't know what the game should be. I think the player should cut down trees, so there's a start.
Let's brainstorm.

Make it about futuristic lumberjacks, that way it explains why they have guns that shoot chainsaws.

You cut the trees but you then have to catch all the little baby birds that fall out of their nest as you do so. I wonder if thats ever an issue...

Fable 2 is the best lumberjack simulator.

My idea was a fast-paced action-adventure game about a bionically augmented lumberjack who fights against the forces of evil in a dark and alienated future

Retrieve the razor blades from sherrif of Nottingham so they will all be free?

Fat Princess.

Technically in X Men Origins Wolverine you are a lumberjack...

Runescape

Hordes of slow moving enemies that have to be squashed by chopping down trees. Their corpses rot and fertilise the earth, making more trees grow where they died. Of course, let too many trees grow and you can't see where the enemies are coming from, so you have to get your tree / open space ratio right. Trees can create a domino effect for bonus multipliers. Naturally, the game would have full physics in effect just to totally screw up your carefully constructed plans, causing you to throw a controller and chip it.

(i am thinking flash game side scrolling format) 

I'm a lumberjack and I'm okay. it would be like samba de amigo but lumberjacks yo :)

Eazy, your Marcus Pheonix post war, you have your lancer which you use to cut down trees, also throwing in classic lines such as "Aw Shit!" "Fuck Yeah!" "That's five mother fuckers!" and many of the other creative lines by Marcus Pheonix.

Make sure you can customize what color plaid shirt you can wear

My suggestion, big busomy female lead.  Completely tear the roof off what people traditional think of when they think of lumberjacks. 

I'm surprised there are already two lumberjack games.
I think an obvious choice would be a resource management sim. Figuring out how to optimally cut up lumber based on consumer demand, balancing your area of harvestable trees versus government regulation and pressure from environmental groups, etc...

It would just follow the wrestling career of Andre the Giant.

" @kmdrkul: Dude, that is a boss idea. "

Crysis.

Actually, I'd make it a Wii game with an axe-shaped plastic Wiimote holder thing, because Wii owners definitely need more of those. >_< And it'd take place on the surface of the sun. There'll be a harder difficulty where you fling cards at trees to cut them instead.

I would go with a Monty Python inspired Lumberjack game.

I used to watch the Lumberjack World Championships on the "Deuce".  It's coming up again in July, so head to Wisconsin if you want to be inspired up close.

I would make make the Monty Python Lumberjack song its theme song. 

The lumber jack should fight against beavers who are cutting down trees, so then you have to play as  the lumberjack seeking revenge on the beavers?

How much wood could a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck had quick time events?

My game would just me a collection of mulitplayer mini games.

Co-operative Cutting down trees. Competitive Cutting down trees. A Competitive Physics Multiplayer Mode where you must use trees to kill enemies.

You should make one where you play as the tree. The goal is to drop enough acorns to disable the Lumberjack before he can defeat you.

lots of MAN FLANNEL

You should make a GoW-style hack n slash, with dual hatchets as the quick attack and a chainsaw as the heavy. Also a sawn-off for the ranged could be coooooool. You would have to cut down trees to get goodies like health, and you would get health upgrades each time you successfully destroy a habitat and/or eat woodland creatures. It would be like the anti-sonic. And you would fight badgers and ferrets, the dirty dicks.

Just make have nothing to do with lumberjacks and name it that... would be awesome
