Office Daze?

What kinds of things could you do in a office daze game?

Maybe the story could be that you have to get your boss so angry that he has a meltdown.

Ways of doing this would be stink bombs, setting off fire extinguishers?

    1) Turn up for meetings late (or don't turn up at all!)
    2) Chatting too much to the colleague sat next to you instead of working hard
    3) Constantly checking your personal phone for emails/tweets/social media updates/etc
    4) Going overdue on projects/tasks
    5) Surfing the net on the work computer

    Needing a poo around important work deadlines, and all the toilets on the floor are out of order.

    This is an idea for a game I really like. My sugestions:
    1) Have sex with the collegues.
    2) Have a counter for the coffees / cigarettes you take.
    3) Steal someone else's work and present it as your own's.

    yeah you could break all the toilets, wait until a colleague goes to the bathroom, steal their work :D

    what effect would coffee and cigarettes have on the game?

    You must include:-

    Photocopying your arse
    Spitting in someone's tea
    Sex in the broom cupboard
    Sending naughty emails

    And for Game Over..... (to the tune of Alan Sugar): YOU'RE FIRED!!!

    altering the startup/splash screen/logo in the BIOS so that it says something rude everytime they switch it on (requires a reflash of the BIOS and a naughty screen).

    Oh and the usual sex on the office table during and afterwork.

    Number three would be the most likely, if the game was based on the continuing adventures of Eric.

    ok here is a demo of some office employees going to the toilet and fridge, and then back to their desk

    thanks

    I fixed the 'getting stuck'
    I think it could run for several hours now like a screensaver or something

    You could play as David Brent - a fax has been sent saying that you're fired, and you have to steal the fax before Neil and Jennifer see it or it's game over.

    Very interesting.

    Please add casual fridays and red door in IT department. Also, our CEO talks every quarter of year in big TV hanged in open office, explaining bright future of company.

    to keep the project in a reasonable scope the 'stealing the fax' thing could be one storyline that you can play out, also people dont like long games anymore.


    The people who you dont want to see the fax would have to be kept away from it somehow.

    A simple footrace to the fax machine wouldnt give any gameplay opportunities.

    I guess meetings would be the equivalent of lessons. I think there was a thread on here about management talk. I guess I could make the bloke holding the meeting say a bunch of those phrases :)

    Maybe you could define names for all the co-workers a bit like Skool Daze.

    The big boss
    The slacker
    The sex pest
    The office clown

    etc

    Don't forget the visits from the incompetent area manager (every business has many of those!)... well, when they promise to visit but don't because they are too busy playing casino/blackjack on their mobile or have a slight cold - the overpaid useless.......... that they are.

    not bad suggestions actually

    would it be ok to actually call them those names or just make them behave in those ways?

    if the office clown goes around telling the same few jokes that could get annoying quickly, one option is to use pictures like they do in the sims, like a picture of an aeroplane to show they are talking about planes.
    well drawing all those pictures would take ages so thats out.

    a visit from an area manager could be like the prison governor being around in 'the great escape'

    If it's like Skool Daze they'd all have titles & default names already ("The Geography Teacher" - "Mr Withitt"), but the player could change the names when they play it.

    There is a stink bomb behind the desks you can pick it up and if you use it near people they will react

    Stair Dancers!!! 

    Essentially, people who sneak into office stairwells and attempt to access floors they shouldn't.




  • namtipnamtip
    Please please somebody make this game!
    My ideas include:
    Flirting with the receptionist
    Hiding from your boss
    Putting laxative into the coffee machine
    Turning the air-conditioning right down
    Stealing office equipment
    Riding your bike around the office
    Photocopying your arse
    Eating colleague's lunches
    Prank calling
    Turning the lights off
    Farting in the canteen
    I could go on.....

    I'd love to see this - loved the SkoolDaze games, even that old remake for PC was fairly decent.

    Maybe the game could center around just getting away on a Friday, like the more you get caught screwing up, the longer you have to work.  There could be set tasks that you have to complete, like getting figures for a report, nabbing a file from someone, hacking the bosses email account etc etc.  Could be real fun, more fun than that game they made after Daze, with the trenchcoats and the not being Skooldaze.

    Become a union rep.  Popularity rating changes with some peers and managers.

    Health n Safety Wardens - who jump out from behind a cupboard (everytime you get knocked down) and make you fill out incident reports, and hazard sticker the area!

    I implemented one of the suggestions in this thread
