The idea of Star Citizen, but actually finished and without selling individual ships for real cash.

Torn between 2 game ideas:

a. It’s a game for Luanti. The premise is that the Earth 1000 years from now is a wasteland of robots and toxic waste, after humans abandoned it centuries beforehand. You are sent there to investigate the planet, but things go wrong and your ship crash lands shortly after you awaken from your cryo-sleep. You run through quests in order to try and survive and fix everything. But along the way you find these weird animal crests that give you different abilities. It would be a challenging game as resources are purposefully scarce, unless you fight off the deadly robots for scraps or the dangerous mutant animals for food.

b. This one is a combination of Sonic Riders 1 and the trick system of the Skate series; if they had a baby this would be it. Set in a world of anthro animals. The story mode would be split into 2 different stories following 2 different 3 person teams. Team one consists of real chill people: 2 men and a woman in their mid-20s. They’re missions would be centered around the trick system. The other team would consist of the leader of the other teams younger brother and his 2 teammates ( both women ). Younger brother is much more serious and consequently, his missions focus more on pure racing.

I already have a good idea for an ad for game b, too. So, the hover skateboard like things the people ride are called Steamboards ( since the first ones were steam powered ), just fir context. The ad starts with captain of team a riding his steam board across a desert like flat area. He ends up easily passing a driver in a red race kart wearing a red hat. Then he ends up stopping to quickly charge up his board, thinking out loud: “Wouldn’t want to be that slow.” Then a blue blur on what looks like a steamboard comes flying by. Captain shrugs at the camera and thinks out loud: “Can’t be faster than everyone.” Then hopes back onnhis board and the ad transitions to gameplay clips. All before showing the game title, in a very title screen way. Ad ends there.

A game where you feed and pet and take care of guinea pigs. Varieties of vegetables and reactive chin scritches and they yell at you when they notice you going about your business. Also my guinea pig has to be in it you have to ruffle his fur or you will instantly die.

Possibly a setting in the Andes, I dunno it would be funny to be a guinea pig herder. Otherwise it just has to be comically over designed and marketed as competing with Death Stranding.

History Is A Nightmare From Which I Am Trying To Awake: The James Joyce Experience.

An RPG that faithfully recreates the entirety of James Joyce’s oeuvre, starting with Dubliners, then Portrait of an Artist as a Young Man, then Ulysses then Finnegan’s Wake.

Imagine the minigames - can you jerk off on the beach and climax at the same time as a one legged girl?

Can you get the married woman drunk enough so she jumps in front of a train after you rebuff her advances?

How many sex workers can Stephen visit with his monetary prize from the Jesuit school?

Gripping stuff.

A game where you walk around an existing town and fix things. It teaches you real stuff about how the things you’re fixing work. For instance, you can fix light switches and do so using examples of how real wiring works.

A hybrid of sorts between a 3D platformer (honestly any type of action game would work for the overall point but I envisioned it as a platformer) and a life sim. You play as a highschooler with some sort of powers (who I’m imagining is “neutral” on the good-evil axis) going through their senior year. The platformer levels come in not through some greater adventure but through smaller, mostly disconnected ones, some done as for-hire work and some triggered by choices and events within the life sim portion. The game would be on a calendar system rather than any form of linear progression, ending with graduation.

To give an example of how the life sim and action segments might affect each other: let’s say there’s an optional mission where you’re hired to assassinate an influential politican. There’s a character in school who’s the daughter of this politician. If you don’t take the mission you can be friends with this character. If you take the mission and do it normally, she is aggressive toward you and later it triggers a level where you have to defend yourself against her army of airships and fight her at the end. But if you take the mission but do it stealthily, she’ll still be friends with you but be noticably depressed…and maybe there’s some scenario where she’d find out, and, feeling betrayed, it’d trigger a harder version of her boss fight.

Obviously there’d be other life sim elements like relationship trees with dialogue choices including romantic ones, and more things to do within school/town (one idea I had was being able to get a job delivering pizzas…or running drugs,) and likely some minigames.

You see why this is untenable, right?

Super Mario Bros Z the videogame.

I mean the original is already using M&L RPG series assets and the story is actually pretty fleshed out despite eventually getting cancelled.

I would love to see a grand sci-fi game that’s a mixture of Titanfall and mirror’s edge.

You would have open world runner sections where your entire job is to run messages between agents on a city/station that is working hard to steer the war… and then you go and do big stompy robots combined arms, titalfall-esque fighting, just open world instead of the (rather great) map, point-to-point of the original.

Alternatively, just give me either a single player or MMO implementation of The Allbright System.

Whatever I choose, I would just like the engine to be released under GPL, and the assets under CC-3.0-BY-NC-SA so that it lives on, regardless of however well it does.

I want a game that is just the dungeons and raids parts of WoW. No outside grinding. You just log in with your guild and smash your face against bosses together.

Tic tac toe battle royale

prostitute simulator

Just Grand Turismo 4 again

My take on the scrollslike genre

Probably impossible, but a combination of:

• The Sims
• Simutrans (like OTTD but more complicated)
• SimCity (or more modern variants with street-level cameras)
• Command & Conquer / Age of Empires
• Sid Meyer’s Civilization
• Grand Theft Auto (drive around, do random stuff, but enter all buildings. But some storylines you could play as characters)

So basically a life simulator like The Sims, but you also build the city. And can transport goods and people. And build up military and fend off attacks or invade nearby countries.

It’ll be a century before we have enough CPU to power a game of that scale, and you’d have to be able to like “zoom in” and “zoom out” to the levels of details. Creating thousands of houses at a Sims level would be stupid, so a lot of automation would have to happen. But being able to play the game at various levels from individuals to companies to cities to counties or states to countries would be wild.

The next elders scrolls but with an engine that isn’t 30 years of congealed tech debt. They also aren’t allowed to ship it early with tons of bugs expecting the community to fix it all…
