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 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.
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.
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.
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.
Tic tac toe battle royale
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.
I think I saw a game like that. It was like an mmo but just normal multiplayer and the dungeons.
Was it called Fellowship? I’m keeping my eye on that, but it seems like it’s not exactly what I’m looking for. I think it’s only small group content and from what I’ve been told the fights are a lot of “avoid the bad stuff.” I really miss the kind of fights we had to strategize and optimize for. I might still try it anyway when it goes 1.0, but I’m really hoping for something a little different.
Just Grand Turismo 4 again
Old mechanics, new graphics
My take on the scrollslike genre
prostitute simulator
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.
Check out NiNoKuni 2 and Brutal Legend for cool genre mashup games. Conker’s Bad Fur Day is another good genre mashup.
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…
Dungeon Keeper 3 Basically dk2 for the quality of life features, minus the bugs.
Dubbing, voices and acting like dk1.
Also not that mobile game BS, I’m talking mouse and keyboard (maybe VR? for the fps play ?).
Keep the trolls, chicken, mistress and bile demons etc, add a few more maybe like skavens, dark dwarves, slimes, fake chests…
Different kind of food, different kinds of habitat per creature, or group of creatures.
Keep the slapping of course.
“It’s so good to be bad.”
A really good horse game. In-depth breeding mechanics, beautiful graphics, fun gameplay with excellent and intuitive controls and an interesting non cliche story. I don’t think there is a single horse game that checks all those marks
Obligatory meme answer of Umamusume
they are not even proper anthropomorphic horses, they have ears and tails, lame
