A game with the time travel self interaction and self saving mechanics of Super Time Force Ultra. Doesn't have to be a side scroller. Bonus points for getting multiplayer to work reasonably. I've been theorycrafting ways to do multiplayer like this for years (and ultimately most of it feels disjointed in theory so IDK). I've only seen one super low budget game using this mechanic (as a main game mechanic, not a side puzzle like the Ratchet and Clank time puzzles) and the reviews weren't great.
I've been considering mixing it with 5D Chess with Time Travel mechanics and Advance Wars gameplay as a proof of concept and see how far that gets me... But I don't have time or energy to work on it after work...
I'd like to play an RTS game where you don't control the units directly, but instead just give them general orders that they try to carry out to the best of their ability. The player would focus on coordinating combat at high level directing where the units should go and what positions they hold. The units would have to have plausible behaviors, so they wouldn't just run into gunfire, but take cover, try to coordinate with each other, etc. The units would also have to have modifiers such as morale, so if a unit suffered heavy losses it might break and flee for example. I think you could get some really interesting emergent game play come out of it.
Not sure if you are into the setting but company of heroes 2 implements a solid chunk of what you are describing.
As a kid who loved Kingdom Hearts and The Matrix, I wanted to make a game where you could choose from the standard Magic, swords, guns, OR you could whip out your keyboard and hack the game.
It's not nearly as exciting in retrospect, as it's basically just Skyrim with console commands, but the thread brought it back to me so I thought I'd share. It felt like a cool idea in 2002, though.
I've also been writing and designing a Pokemon game in my head for the last 25 years, but I'm keeping that one closer to my chest even though there's no universe where that happens.
Oh my.
If I collected all the visual information I saw in some dreams I have had about video games...would I be rich now?
I'd like to play a video game that would level up my real life stats.
A VR game which is basically a room with a plethora of board games. So you can play with people from all over the world. Come on Hasbro make it happen
A good sandbox MMO that people actually play, and doesn't have a high barrier of entry.
Dynasty Warriors with Path of Exile's crunchiness
And it should have the soundtrack like DW6 did because that shit ruled
In The Valley of Gods... from the developers of Firewatch, too bad they've been acquired by Valve and they abandoned the project
A civil war simulator, where you make your policies to appeal to as much of the population as you can so they would support you and fight for your side, and if you fail to secure significant militant support you get couped or defeated.
...and how much would you pay for a pre-order special edition that came with a free in game hat for your character?
Monster Hunter as a MMORPG.
I know thereβs a similar idea in China-only but it feels a little dated, Iβd like MHRise style
A real Wild Guns sequel
Bring Chromehounds back to console. AC6 was close, but not quite there. Dial the sweatiness back to 5 or 6 instead of 11 and gimme the factional MP w/ dynamic comms. I know MAV or whatever exists for PC but I want my comfy console experience dammit
I want Space Engineers, but better.
Building vehicles, ships, and bases block by block as your character is mechanic I enjoy that I haven't seen elsewhere. I also like the resource gathering. But I would like better physics, better enemy interactions and AI, and water instead of just ice.
I would love something like Hellgate London (I think that was its name?), doesn't have to have the same premise, but needs to be a lot less buggy, no p2w, and more production value
3D wizard fighting game
I wanna build a fort and shoot at zombies on my phone with friends and can't seem to find someone to take my money.
