/v/ - Video Games

But can you make lots of money off of it? With a one man team? You need me anon, you need my muzak and writefagging.

CK2, but every battle can optionally be played in real time, either from above (Total War style) or as the player character (M&B style).

OP here. This is a bit of a shitposty thread but I'm serious. I'm really interested in what people find as their ideal game.

Be as verbose as possibly, specifically mentioning why you like what you like and games that are similar that could use improvements

Personally, my ideal would be a warband where every aspect of the game was improved. It's a very fun game but unfortunately everything falls a little short of great besides the combat, even though it could be improved. Warband with a better economy, with better graphics, with more exploration of cities and towns and other locations, with a very in depth and branching story, etc… And battles with 500+ people.

It would be the perfect balance between story/immersive experience, strategy and macro management and fun action.

>>15245403

You just described the same game I did, but with way more words and unnecessary line breaks.

An arcade-only rhythm-based fighting game in which every character is a monster girl with a different kind of musical instrument (with the exception of some that use some sort of singing technique) that they use to magically channel their powers, among other powers, in unique ways (think the scene with the guzheng in Kung Fu Hustle but with a less limited moveset). The controls are complicated enough that each player is given both a joystick and a set of about four rows of organ-like keys with about 24 keys per row, along with three gameplay-oriented pedals each as well as a "taunt" pedal for those who wish to simply play music during the fight without activating any attacks or "block moves" that the lowest keys would provide. The main character is to be a small-chested shabti from an ancient Egyptian tomb with a ney as her instrument while the final boss is to be an Israeli lilim with some sort of clarinet and a klezmer-based musical theme for her stage, thus symbolically establishing the game's canon as a battle between a golem and jew. Many of the rest of the characters would also touch on various stereotypes or parodies, such as a French carcolh girl with a serpent instrument (carcolhs are French snail-snake monsters), a massive-tittied wedding processionist Norwegian hulder girl with a hardinger fiddle, a Romanian pricolici thongleotard superheroine that uses one of those big Romanian panpipes and whose moveset is significantly a parody of how much of Romanian culture treats Dracula as a hero, a ropen girl from Bougainville of Papua New Guinea that plays a thongophone to channel her luminescence in an elaborate parody of Blue Man Group, a Saudi Arabian houri that looks like houris are actually described in Islamic lore and follow the middle eastern acapella tradition because musical instruments outside of drums are haram, a four-headed cherubim loli from Vatican City that sings in operatic voice tones, a mongolian death worm girl that uses mongolian throat singing, and more.

>>15245419

Shut the fuck up.

Maddog williams was the tits; my father showed me the game;

it was great.

I just want a good simulator for something cool, like magic, or alchemy, or mechs

But that would generally necessitate many other simulated things to support the primary simulation, otherwise it'd be a shitty simulation

So, what I want is an autistic everything simulator, kinda like SS13 but not as shit

2D-Godhand with Metal Slug tier pixel art.

>>15245462

And now how would you implement a good magic simulation system?

I'm not Todd Howard btw

loli with robot hands punching and breaking everything

I would want an action game with more fast-paced Dark Souls 1 combat with a dash of MGR Revengence combat mechanics sprinkled about with an emphasis on PvP dueling, from 1v1 to 6v6 and beyond. On top of that would be a character creator to top all character creators, an armour customization system to let you have all the best armour, but you cqn have your armour look a certain way, and fighting game-esque mechanics to bring a bit of challenge to the combat.

It's a mech game. Good luck making money faggot.

Dark Souls bullet hell with player-designed bullet patterns, short-lived flight, and pvp.

RotMG but not shitty

>>15245502

The only real way to simulate magic in a way that would allow for player freedom is one games have been doing forever, by structuring the majority of it like code, with a multitude of variables that the player decides

Personally, I would want tons of variables and customizations, from the symbols and frameworks used to comprise the spell, to the medium with which you use to cast it

Games have done stuff like that before, but the bigger problem is if all this was in a vacuum, with you just being handed all the stuff you need to use it and given an empty room to fuck around with it in, it'd be boring as shit, so you'd need a world filled with locations to explore, systems to fuck with, and things to progress towards, and that's a retarded amount of work if you actually want the systems to work with each other in an engaging way

Like, for example, you can't properly live out the fantasy of a wizard living in a tower outside a village, helping people out in return for them not fucking with you while you do your research, if there's not also a meaningful simulation of the villagers and their needs, and the kinds of things that would affect them from both the environment and your experiments

And that goes for everything else, if something is to be possible with a system, all the other related systems need to be fleshed out to the point where the main system doesn't feel shallow

hentai game where sex scenes are rhythm games and how well you do affects how the scene develops

Dwarf Fortress Adventurer Mode with graphics and action-based combat, rather than turn-based.

DnD style setting where you play a fairy that mainly uses support spells to help your party. Healing, buffs, protection and the like. Can use some combat spells, but melee combat is only really useful for distraction and poison needles, apart from the occasional fight against smaller creatures like cats or predatory birds while separated from the party. Include stealth segments where you use your tiny size and flight to your advantage, whether sneaking into bases, crawling into chests, or scouting in a forest.

we gotta go back

>>15245443

>(with the exception of some that use some sort of singing technique)

MONGOLIAN THROAT SINGING CENTAUR

An Xcom: UFO Defense style game where you play as human invaders trying to "tame" a living world (all the planet and its creatures are one being). You would be playing as human mercenaries working for a corporation that has a claim to the world, you would be able to choose the mercs and corporation at the start, which would give you different bonuses, playstyles, and objectives. The early game would involve you clearing areas setting up resource gathering machines to obtain materials that you can sell to your client to meet quotas and gain money, or use to power up your own team. The mid game would be defending these areas, pushing to other areas, further powering up your units, and responding to the planet's evolving efforts to destroy you. The late game would involve finding a way to completely subvert or destroy the planet's consciousness, leaving it mostly defenseless.

Your main base would be a space station orbiting the planet that you can build and add on to as the game progresses.

A decent combat flight simulator where:

>You fly with a squadron and are expected to be a part of that squadron, not just a plane shooting planes.

>There's no gimmicky multiplayer shitting up the game with whiny requests to balance things in order to compensate for babby's lack of skill and tactical nous.

>A campaign that takes place in a persistent world which encompasses actual, historical operations performed in a realistic way while tracking events and reflecting the situation according to mission outcomes.

>More focus is put on world building and aircraft simulation than on graphics, gimmicky physics engines that use too much processing overhead and post processing effects that belong in the trash in the age of injectors like sweetFX etc.

>Visible and physically significant wear and tear on aircraft that includes consultation with ground crews as a part of aircraft management.

>Increase in rank means an increase in responsibility, mission planning, logistics, personnel management etc. You'll be expected to lead instead of paint kill markings on your plane.

>The ability to paint kill markings on your plane as well as customisation appropriate to the airforce you join.

>Artificial intelligence that has an instinct for self preservation, can be demoralised, is cunning, is diversely skilled and can do more than turn in circles. AI that focuses on completing its' mission instead of acting as a badly coded target drone.

>Anti aircraft fire that comes up in volume instead of a handful of laser accurate bots that magically hit you every time you fly near them.

>Damage modelling that has more depth than "lol you're utterly deprived of this system now because some arbitrary criteria has been met."

>>15245659

No anon, the Mongolian rep would be a Mongolian death worm girl. That way she gets electric/lightning attacks that can strike sand to form glass that can then be broken for additional attacks.

>>15245403

>meme spacing

My ideal game would be dub checker.

its like an mmo but like everyone can control time and it affects everyone else and it will have the whole earth in it scratch that double earth and you fly around the world

>>15245777

Nyx is a miracle of the universe.

I downloaded a mod for FO:NV that makes your character look like her just so I could play through the game as her

>>15245777

I mean, the new dues ex games look basically like that.

>>15245820

That she is.

Oh shit, so did I! I used that and Enclave Commander and roleplayed as Nyx being the leader of a splinter branch of the Enclave stationed out of Area 51 and took over the Mojave with her and a bunch of power armored mooks. Shit was so cash. If you use that one android player character mod, ARES Project I think it was called? It really fits the character and gives her abilities she would have.

>>15245851

I've played Human Revolution and Mankind Divided, and while it may have a similar aesthetic you don't get to play as a full-on robot.

Undertale but the gameplay isn't on the level of a fucking tech demo and the story isn't haphazardly thrown together as it's being developed.

>>15246000

Yeah, I really wish the new deus ex games had a modding community.

>>15246030

If you did this the metagame would probably stagnate into a handful of the most OP combos and their counters.

>>15246036

That's one of the many flaws with the concept, yeah. I just want what the City Stage of Spore was advertised as being.

>>15245615

I hadn't thought about the Waco incident since I was a child and was vaguely aware that it had happened. Now I'm pissed off.

>>15245531

>game where you watch monstergirls do things and live their lives

I'd play it.

A Sonic the Chilidog rip-off but with bitcoin miners.

I don't really think of a perfect game for me except for platformer with exploration focus and N mobility, Jesus fuck navigating a giant world with movement that satisfying would be heavenly, but I'd really like to see a macro RTS where you could AI commanders for your armies, but you have to manually teach them by playing with them enough.

>>15246084

You could've just said "Homeworld 3, but it's a sequel to Homeworld 1 and HUEG".

>>15246319

Sounds like skull & bones, until Ubisoft fucks it up in the way they always do.

>>15245338

Basically the premise would be similar to Guardianj legend / Guardic Gaiden aka STG and regular exploration levels intertwined along the whole game and a cutie mechgirl that can tun into a spaceship

But, instead of having a RPGfied progression with XP/HP/Levels I'd go with something closer to a simple upgrade system like DMC but more limited in scope don't wanna make something like that about avatar progression instead of player progression

Instead of having a NES-tier shmup I 'd go with something not quite bullet hell but closer in scope to Layer Section (Rayforce and the sequels) with a basic weapon system similar to Alltynex 2nd including the melee stuff (basically press the basic attack button of a form of attack to switch to that then once you're in a form you have a special attack button that does something different based on the form), the life system wouldn't be a regular lifebar either but more along the line of a shield that can take X amount of hits that you can upgrade or one tat can take a single one but then recharges slowly that you can make faster through upgrade or maybe a mix of the two, not sure if I'd include a proper scoring system (those are way hard to do and need the proper level design to support them too) or some bullet cancelling abilities (although I'm guessing some skill based melee parrying wouldn't be too bad but that would also mean thinking about a projectile properties system instead of just making everything more or less the same outside of shape and behavior).

For the exploration side I'd have to go with something closer to the original DMC for the basic combat maybe slightly simpler but with actual traversal upgrades and not just doublejump / keys would also try to avoid it the Super Metroid syndrome of "X weapon for Y door" but not sure actual puzzles would go over well in something that action oriented.

Then for the bosses I'd have something that a mix of the two meaning that the ones from the STG segments would have phases dedicated to close range only where you're basically floating around in humanoid form trying to slice the fucker / parrying his projectiles whereas the exploration part bosses would give you the ability to go with some partial or full transformation back to hip mode in combat similar to Transformer devastation would probably have to use a shitty excuse to not let the player do that in regular exploration mode

Even If I bothered doing hat I could never do the concept justice…

>>15245665

FUCK Shit, that sounds fun. It hits all the marks of the creative stuff I like to do and the idea also sounds plausible. I'll screen cap this post just in case I feel like finishing something for once. Also, since it's corporations we'd be dealing with:

>Start of month 21

>Leaked footage showing controversial treatment of non-human entities has sparked a PR nightmare on Earth. Your men are ordered to participate in Sensitivity Courses as a means to calm down the media.

>-10% income this month

>-2 action point per unit on next turn

RAINBOW SIX WITH CYBERPUNK THEMES

FANTASY RPG WITH LITTLE OR RARE MAGIC USE AND GOOD COMBAT

GO FUCKING MAKE THEM OP, DO ME THE FUCKING DECENCY

An action game with an actually good wizard class. One where you don't just spam spells from a distance, and need to dodge roll, or perhaps some really deep magic to magic shielding system or something.

>>15245716

Fuck that sounds pretty cool.

A game where the national socialists are finally the good guys.

>you play as them

>alternate history where they win and take over the world

>get to play with their UFOs and go to the moon and the fake "north pole" and go inside the hollow flat earth

>also you get to go to the fake "south pole" and exit the edge of the flat earth and transcend reality.

>>15246400

i've always wanted a game where the spellcaster class needs to actually memorize simple spells, just power words. when going to cast a spell you need to actually leaf through your spellbook and click the proper power words. simple spells would probably be just one power word, so you'd only need to quickly flip to the right page and cast, but the longer ones where you're doing dragon's dogma tier shit and calling down meteors or summoning tornadoes or something you'd need to flip pages, mark words, and do all this while avoiding/blocking/parrying attacks

sounds kinda stupid now that i type it out but still, active spellcasting that isn't just wagglan bullshit where you draw runes or something would be so awesome

>>15246412

are you describing a hardcore magicka?

>>15246434

I'd give it a try, out the gate I can appreciate it's themes for not just being "REBEL GUY GOOD, AUTHORITY GUY BAD"

A mix between Metal Gear Rising and EDF.

>>15246412

> you'd need to flip pages, mark words, and do all this while avoiding/blocking/parrying attacks

There's a reason why even the great ganddaddy of video game mages, D&D, established the idea that wizards do all that complicated prep work shit in advance and then set up their prepared spells so that they just need a few final hand gestures or trigger words to make the spell go off. Because the idea of doing that shit in the middle of combat is insane. You're effectively asking for a game where you have to do a tedious hacking/lock picking style minigame (in real time) to do any sort of attack while avoid attacks and trying not to die.

Now maybe a game where you play a vancian wizard and you actually have to do all that spell prep workin detail before an adventure instead of the usual "click on a icon in your spell book to add it to your spellslot" shit could be an interesting game, but not trying to do it in the middle of a fight. It would be like magicka, except eight times more complicated.

>>15246460

you could do fun things with this

>limited inventory space so you have to pack accordingly per expedition

>bad planning or unforeseen consequences could force player into retreat and have him lost in the woods at night

>comfy cabin safehouse to bring your loot back and maintain your gear at

>>15246460

I think there was a game sort of like that only it was set around the time of the Salem Witch Trials and much more limited.

>>15245403

I'd like to see warband combat but instead of the limited directions availible it used a more fluid looking pie chart like system for slashing/blocking. Almost the way revengance did the slice up attacks but more mobile.

Jokes on you everyone here has terrible ideas

>>15246591

i want a game where you fuck catgirls in the ass with your real dick

>>15246597

Now we're talking

>>15245338

A game dedicated to grenade/rocket jumping. Explosions hurt you and you regen with a Halo-style shield, fall damage only applies if your shield is gone. Add a double jump and a lock-on weapon that behaves EXACTLY like Starfox's Arwing shooting abilities for enemy combat. Enemies are mostly bad at rocket jumping, but bosses are fucking pros. Good luck coding that AI, anon.

Combine Mount and Blade, Pokemon, and Monster Rancher.

In order to subdue monsters you have to wrassle them Steve Irwin style, after subdued they must be trained to not attack you at first chance, then more training to accept your commands. Monsters can be bred, with each generation being born with greater tamed levels, in trade off monsters bred must be age and be cared for before being of use. There's a small chance of mutations happening, such as cosmetic and stat gains/losses.

On the world map you can build various facilities, like; monster housing (no pokeballs or PCs, you must have somewhere to keep them), holding pens (place to keep untamed monsters and tame them), farms (to either put your monsters to work, grow food to feed herbivorous monsters, or grow food to sell for profit), ranches (same as farms, here you grow and slaughter monsters for meat), and zoos (allow you to showcase your prized monsters).

The goals of players could be; Become the best there ever was, breeding for whatever monsters they want, becoming rich off of your farms/ranches, sink their autism into their zoo, or take over the map with their monsters.

>>15246652

>Wait i just described ss13 but in a city environment.

Except keep the fact that there's another town that you need to fight eventually and you keep everyone from being complete retards because you have a common enemy

Basically I just want an Elder Scrolls game that is actually good. A large open world in an intriguing fantasy setting where the motto of "Be anyone, do anything." isn't routinely stomped on by incompetent design and shitty writing. I'd just want a good open world with solid exploration, quality quests to discover and complete with actual choice and branching paths tense combat, and plentiful customization. I want a game where I can decide to be a sneaky backstabby assassin for a hundred hours, and then start fresh as a warrior and crown myself king of the land via conquest in the next. Also the immersive sense of detail needs to be intact, while there are now many new open world RPGs on the market, there's still not a single competitor that allows me to walk into a shop, knock all of the shit off the shelves, and steal all the forks. Only Bethesda games do that, and it fucking sucks.

Also mod support, but taken further, release the fucking source code and let people tear into that shit.

>>15245338

gmod but in an engine that can handle much bigger maps than source

>>15246349

They fucked it up from the start. Skull and Bones is an always-online ship combat only game that will push lootboxes down your throat. A far cry from the single player Mount and Blade but on the high seas that the medium has been starved for.

>>15245338

Basically Morrowind but with more life sim elements and a procedurally generated world.

Another way to describe it would be minecraft with plot, NPCs, and slightly less autism. There would be the authored plot (main quest, major factions/guilds, some international conflicts) and generated plot (Go to local notice board and pick up a quest to: go to X and collect Y number of Zs, go to A and kill B without getting caught, deliver message X to person Z, etc, etc.)

As for the life sim elements, think sims 2 but more fleshed out, actual words instead of "bippity boppity shoopity doppity! HAHA!" Making friends with person/faction A changes person/faction B's view of you. Marriage, biological children (none of that adoption BS in skyrim,) stuff like that.

Last thing I can think of off the top of my head would be some kickass character customization. If I want to play anything from Alpha-bro the barbarian face-puncher of Tzcara, to Zack the mild mannered wizard that is polite but will vaporize your soul if you piss him off. I should be able too. I should be able to play non-human races if they exist in the lore. Also there should be non-human races in the lore.

that's all I can think of off the top of my head.

Orc breeding simulator. Raise a tribe from the very beginning.

>>15246818

now that sounds like a great take on that formula

An open-world stealth game where you play as a war journalist in the middle of an African civil war who uses evidence of war crimes and his connections to play the warring factions against each other for a big scoop.

>>15246412

If you have to flip through the spellbooks to find the words, it doesn't sound like your memorizing them. If there was a way to type out what you want to cast, one power word at a time like some kind of syllabary, then the game would be rewarding you for memorization.

>Press cast button

>You can now type a spell, or press dodge button to dodge & cancel

>ignis ignis mortem sagitta

>Hit enter, sending out a giant flaming arrow

Could be fun, but the focus on the game might end up being on dodging attacks, rather than attacking.

Or did you mean that the memories of the words you read are used as fuel for the magic spells, so that's why you have to re-read them after every cast?

>>15245403

>OP here

You could also be hunted by cannibal indians or mundane beasts, play co-op, have stalkery shenanigans and find artifacts that have different properties or even make your own (weak) artifacts with simple materials and rituals. Damn, to think this will never be made.

A holocaust-simulator where you have to kill 6 millions jews before Germany loses the war. It's dick-hard because it's impossible.

Sengoku Rance clone, but with online multiplayer, tons of replayability and ridiculous amounts of content. And it has to be fun unlike Dominions..

>>15246319

I'd play pirate simulator, so long as the sword play was gud too.

I want a game to control an interment camp during WW2 in Germany.

Team Fortress 2 but meet your match didn't happen, the engineer got the reserve shooter instead of the pyro and MaxofSTD didn't kill SLAG gaming with his insufferable faggotry.

>>15246979

I'm fully aware of that and it's what makes your opinions in every other thread a burden to this board. Models and textures representing your favorite anime are of a greater concern to you than any innovation in gameplay or genre. "Just give me [anime] in [genre]" represents a satisfaction in, or ignorance of, the awful stagnation in game design. In either case you lack the vital frame for reference with which to credibly judge any game ever. This retardation is so fundamental to your being that it mars your every opinion, and thus, every post your make. In light of this you should fucking leave, return to /a/ where you can discuss content more suitable to your interests.

Also, while it did get the Insufferable Communists That Make items Nobody Wants™ to stop crying about not being paid no more community crates that all the items are uncraftable and the money is divided up from every key.

>>15246818

Who the hell designed this vehicle? It is so large you could put a few more turrets in it or at least a much larger (in length) cannon, and this turret rotation is also limited to about 180° due to shit designs.

>>15247072

Weapons which fire bouncing projectiles will bounce along the ceiling or floor depending where they bounce first. You also have a powerful homing seeker missile, but it first attaches itself to the floor you're standing on and then quickly tracks anything in sight which the enemy can avoid by reversing their own gravity. If you then fire a blob of area-denying acid above them and then a seeker missile on the floor they're standing on, they just might end up shifting into the pool of acid you set up. As later non-fodder enemies will have frontal shields equipped which renders them invulnerable to your standard hitscan attacks, so you'll have to get more tricky until you can disable their shields or by hitting them from the flanks.

A singleplayer-focused game that mostly takes place in isolated areas where you face off against the future of the planet - cyborgs, demons, rogue factions, cults, etc.

Preferably first person, and the game also makes it look realistic when the enemies are attacked and when you are attacked, but not so realistic that you don't have a chance.

All the energy of development and production will go to the singleplayer aspect, with a multiplayer option also available, but that can be worried about later.

It would also be cool if you could do stealth operations in populated areas where these enemies reside, as a rare change from the isolated areas the game mostly takes part in.

>>15245615

Isn't this referenced in Postal 2 actually?

>>15246953

But good anime have a unique system that would easily make a cool game mechanic. For example, you can't make a JoJo game without stands, which on it's own is already something unique, and even still, every stand has a unique power

>The stand that latches onto someone's back, and if you look at their back it kills the host and jumps onto you. If you tell anyone about it, you also die.

>That stand that erases matter, so you can make holes in walls or pull someone closer to you buy erasing the air between you

>That stand that's a cursed sword that controls you, and it can selectively become ethereal so you can effectively attack people through pillars and walls and shit

Then there's Crazy Diamond, which alone you could build a whole game around with- It can rewind the state of anything it punches back to it's "fixed" form or even alter it. Someone could break a bridge, and if a piece fell down, you could punch it, and then jump on top to ride it as the bridge becomes fixed. You could punch someone's face and restructure it so that they can sneak into somewhere unrecognized. You could tear a piece of someone's clothing, and the punch it so that that the piece goes back toward them, essentially acting as a tracking device. You could break something so that you could fit it through a small hole, and then reform it on the other side.

Shit, you could base a whole entire game around any stand, the ideas are endless. It's like you haven't even watched JoJo.

>>15247211

You're retarded, because you can't understand how impossible it would be to make a game around stands, the point of which are supposed to have crazy weird powers so fights end with the most ridiculous and out of the box problem solving. It's a video game, the whole point is to play within the box constructed for you.

>>15247230

>You're retarded because your ideal game would be hard to make

A 3D Dorf Fort. Basically what memecrap promised it would be.

>>15247211

7th Stand User is great, but it left me wishing that the RPG mechanics were in-depth enough that you could build the solutions that the characters used out of in-game actions rather than starting a scripted sequence with the "plan" command. It made me want a stand-user RPG that revolves around 'puzzle bosses' that you have to work out the right moves to beat.

Pokemon XD had the puzzle minigames that are kind of similar to what I'm thinking of.

>>15247263

Mods

>>15247283

I have around 40 mods installed and it doesn't come close to being enough, not to mention memecrap shits itself if you try doing anything. Only game with singleplayer lag that I can think of. The faster you go in any direction the slower the game goes.

Also I still can't find a good colony mod that lets me emulate DF fortress mode, or a mod that unfucks the enchanting sytem, or makes crafting things fun and rewarding instead of what it is now, or one that makes mobs like goblins and lizardmen invade my fortress/colony etc etc etc.

Only thing MC has going for it that DF doesn't are the dimensions mods like Mystcraft and the magic mods like Witchery, Ars Magica with the spell crafting system and others.

A decent, densely packed, modern (not nu-) looking single player RPG based on D&D 3.5 or earlier. Seriously that's it, use the same engine over and over to make different stories in the same setting (then do daft space marine bullhshit later) that shit could go on forever if they're written well enough, I'd never play anything else.

2nd idea: Wurm but better, iron out the big dumb kinks add more shit to the worlds, NPC towns that actually have some purpose and take some balls to assault or even befriend.

Eternal Darkness in the modern era, with the adventuring and combat happening in dreams. The entire game is an exploration of the dangers of cognitive dissonance and excessively out-of-the-box thinking.

The entire story is based around a freshman student at a liberal college studying art–painting, drawing, sculpting, etc. As the year drags on, she experiences recurring nightmares that only grow stranger and more intense with time; the puzzles get more non-sensical, and the strange shit she experiences in her dreams, combined with numerous real-life tragedies only serve to isolate her and drive her insane.

The story of this game would be a tragedy in the classic sense. This game will not have a happy ending; the main character will be broken down between death in the family, assault, being raped, being effectively disowned by her friends and her college, that she will eventually experience hallucinations and commit suicide.

Each week for an entire college year, you experience a new "dream sequence" level, and each night, the level is procedurally generated so that it's never the same between weeks. If the level isn't beaten by the last day of the week, the game defaults to a pre-generated level that is tested and guaranteed to be beatable prior random iterations of the level being potentially unbeatable is possible, and just feeds further into the madness.

It doesn't have to be strictly Lovecraftian monsters, especially since all the strange shit is in dreams, but it can still take some major cues from the source.

This being added to mine would add a cool theme to it, like in Cowboy Bebop or alien and other 80's/90's shows where they assume the culture and technology will largely not change aside from being able to be in space- for example having your interplanetary/interstellar ship running with CRT monitors.

At this point I don't think you could even come up with a movement tech that wasn't extremely contrived, I mean even negative gun recoil has been used at this point.

>>15248765

there's gotta be something

How about gravity balls that you can use to whip around corners and sling-shot yourself?

It's just never as good as blast jumping

>>15248780

Having a way to create movement boosting props in the environment has also already been done but not in that specific way I must admit, might actually be somewhat fun

A cold war game where the Soviet union is comprised of more than just Russia. It's always bothered me that they always have huge battles for Berlin, yet there isn't a single NVA soldier to be seen.

>It's a video game, the whole point is to play within the box constructed for you.

Street Fighter 2 combos were unintended behavior. If your term "box constructed for you" means developer-intended features, fighting games have already proven that it is possible to play outside of the box constructed for you.

If your term means "within the realm of what is possible in the video game," discovered or undiscovered, intended or unintended, then you will truly be unable to find a game that lets you play "outside of the box."

If I have misunderstood what you mean, please explain it to me.

4K HD GTAV style graphics with San Andreas gameplay, and a slightly smaller (smaller than San Andreas), but a lot more interactive map. Example: You can go into nearly every building, certain destructible environments, map changes when you destroy shit, like construction workers, so you can steal a bulldozer to run over niggers.

But instead of playing as a nigger in a nigger oriented game, you customize your character. You go around killing niggers, faggots, gingers, traps, spics, mudslimes, liberals, good goys, and jews, for your ultimate goal of ethnic cleansing and getting rich at the same time.

Houses and vehicles are completely customizable. You can even decorate all of your walls with portraits of degenerate anime hentai pics like the filthy weeb faggot that you are.

Tons of fucking mod support, play online with private servers, no official servers. Software to run your own server is supplied, like in the old days. Meaning modded servers is possible. Like play in an 80's style/Vice City map while blaring out 80's music.

It's GTA: Ethnic cleansing.

Follow your dreams

Madness styled custom starcraft game but instead of a constant stream of starcraft units being upgraded you move through military history. Four bases and each with two spawners that you decide where units spawn and the only way to control them is a mass signal to attack in a general direction or defend. The more kills and experience you get through attacking or defending the further you move through infantry units and the possible equipment and tactics they can have.

I'd fucking play any of those.

I'd just like a sequel to "Magic The Gathering (Shandalar)" by Microprose. But knowing how cucked Wizards is right now, I'd prefer a source port of the original game with mod support. The blend of open world mechanics, exploration, risk vs reward and simple but effective UI for duels was fucking fantastic. It's a shame that Magic The Gathering games are now soulless cashgrabs.

>>15245509

This, but I want there to be many giant mythological monsters that have monster hunter-like depth of moves/mechanics and the player character has access to 10+ weapon types that are all as complex as monhun weapons. If you capture the creatures from the wild, you can fight them in an arena to grind for their mats and make better armor/weapons.

Story wise, maybe you're Jason or Hercules charged with clearing Greece (or the larger world) of giant monsters after they spawned from Pandora's box. I wouldn't limit the mythical beasts to just greek myth, throw in as much variety as a megaten game.

So, monhun combat and monsters + zelda dungeons and puzzles + dark souls 1 style interconnected world + greek/norse/persian/etc mythology and cryptids = GOAT

Anno 1404 except it's a dating sim. Every CPU player is a romanceable waifu and remembers how you treated them during previous matches. Eventually you can get them to defect to you and they'll give you a bonus while playing, along with advising you during games and providing commentary and special quests.

First Date: 7/15 tons of Wine collected

I just want Brood War but with more units and more interesting abilities like SC2 has, but with the engine, clunkyness, unit and build selection limit from BW remaining intact.

A game in which you play as the 'ideas man'

You get up and by the lack of activity you have the ability to gather in your mind the components with which you interacted in your life (events, games, music, etc). From there you can grab theme, mechanic, music and ""plot""". The game ends with the player working in a regular job and dying in his bed forgotten. If you've interacted with people you may even gather a family at the end which may remember you.

We have this thread every day

Hell yes, that would be great. You know no other game really seemed to fit into Ghost Masters niche, even then how the hell would you classify it? Sort of surprised we haven't gotten some sort of knockoff/homage to it yet from somewhere.

>>15245585

>Like, for example, you can't properly live out the fantasy of a wizard living in a tower outside a village, helping people out in return for them not fucking with you while you do your research, if there's not also a meaningful simulation of the villagers and their needs, and the kinds of things that would affect them from both the environment and your experiments

So interestingly enough, there is a game with some elements of this. Wurm Online/Unlimited allows some players to become priests which gives them special powers in exchange for no longer being able to do some activities specific to the god you choose to follow.

You need the villagers (actual players) to do some things for you and back you up so that you can get better at casting spells, which depending on your chosen god, could you make you more powerful as a battle priest, or more useful for your utility spells.

It's not a perfect analogue by any means, but it's something that could be built off of.

A full 1:1 recreation of the whole world but no people or animals or anything. You just run around and fuck about. You start off just with your feet but you can eventually get a car, plane, boat, submarine, jetpack, whatever. No goals or anything, just exploring

A game that outwardly appears to be a generic fantasy D&D-type game but you can't play as a warrior, mage, or thief. Instead, your three choices are envoy, summoner, and acrobat. These three classes have completely different methods of gameplay. If you choose the envoy, your game will revolve mostly around negotiation, dialogue, and puzzles, basically if you pick envoy you're picking to play a graphic adventure game. If you choose summoner, you encounter monsters and creatures around the world and you have to choose whether to kill them or get them to join you, though you still have some basic dialogue and all that rpg stuff, yeah basically if you go summoner you're picking to play a pokemon/smt game. Acrobat, on the other hand, is where you have to use your athletic ability to traverse the world quickly and efficiently, moving around various obstacles and pulling off tricks. Acrobat is a tony hawk game. Board-and-sorcery. I think the real value of this game would be the replay value. Like one section would have you collecting keys through dialogue puzzles if you play envoy to get through a gate, but if you play acrobat then you could just do a sick jump over the gate to get through, and summoner could just use a worm monster to dig under the gate or a fire monster to burn the gate down. Actions would have consequences though, like if you burn that gate down you would have to deal with the villagers suddenly suffering wolf attacks that were previously stopped by that gate or something.

Also you'd also have a rival character who is capable of everything you are that you'd have to beat periodically throughout the game. It doesn't add anything I just think the Azel fight in God Hand is cool and I want more games to do stuff like that.

Play as HUNK (or a HUNK-LIKE) whose mission is to save survivors from a town. Survival horror in an open world like Silent Hill, with a small, fixed population (30-40) of roaming enemies. Each enemy is almost like its own boss, with a completely unique design, history, and moveset. Since they roam the entire world, you might encounter 2 or 3 at the same time, which causes them to gang up on you or fight each other. Most puzzles are solved organically by distracting, fighting, or circumventing a monster; no keys are necessary.

The bad ending is only to escape, good ending is rescuing all survivors.

Harder difficulties add new monsters and improve AI on existing ones. Special or arrange modes let you play as a monster or a survivor (no guns).

Gameplay is traditional survival horror with extra tactical movement improvements, to match the character being on a SWAT squad.

a game about slapping butts. all butts

>>15248741

isn't that what sunset overdrive was trying to accomplish?

all I heard was that it was shit and never paid too much attention to it beyond that

>>15262930

Yes, but the movement was too slow for it to be fun. It was purposely made slow to be more casual and accessible, iirc. Also a combination of poor design and a general lack of creativity doomed it for good.

Highschool dating sim where the MC is a loser who travels back to his teenage years to experience things he missed out on: love, friends, etc. Being an adult in a teenager's body gives him an easier time than the first time around, since he's already educated and his social skills, while meager for an adult, are at least passable for a teenager. Plus, overall life experience gives him a better understanding of people in general.

All of the different routes involve using your adult-like mind to impress girls or boys. For example, you might impress a girl who's really into music by stealing songs from the future and claiming you wrote them. Since they don't exist yet, no one can prove you didn't make them. There'd probably be a secret route or two where you're still alone in the end, but you've been working to prevent some horrible event from happening in the future.

Auschwitz simulator

City/themepark game where you build a holocauster camp. You can build pools and showers and gyms and such to make your prisoners have a better time.

You can also build gas chambers, but if you don't use proper sealed doors then your workers will die from the poison too. If someone dies/is killed you must find a place to dispose of the body, you can cremate corpses to reduce their size but it takes several hours each.

>Productivity: the amount of work you manage to get out of your prisoners

>Terror: striking fear into the heart of the degenerates, increased by using cruel and unusual punishment and execution measures

>maybe others

You could please the leaders and high-ups by getting rid of prisoners quickly and efficiently, you could make your countrys population and military happy by producing goods and supplies for them, or you could gain the favour the secret police and underground faction by becoming a symbol of terror in the eyes of your enemies.

>>15246412

The only thing I can think of that even came close to doing this was King's Quest III back in the good ol' days of DOS, which had a genius magic system that was immersive, clever, and doubled as the game's copy protection.

The game came with a PHYSICAL magic book that contained instructions for all the game's spells. Casting spells required you to travel the game world to pick up ingredients, put them in the cauldron (carefully following the book's instructions), and then chant the spell, which required typing the entire incantation exactly as it was written in the book. Any typos or spelling mistakes would have disastrous consequences.

Once you'd actually done that it was easier (generally this procedure resulted in creating a magic potion or talisman that you could then cast the spell just by using it), but it was a pretty cool experience.

I'd love to see something like it in a modern game. I'm kind of imagining a wizard in some kind of fantasy version of a cover shooter, hiding behind a rock to shield himself from enemy fire while he charges up and chants part two of the three part incantation required to unleash his nuclear fireball.

Whenever I think about a good game to make, I like to think "but what if it looked like shit"?

It's easy to design a good game which relies on a good environment and world, but it's hardest to actually implement the environment and pretty game, it seems instead you should design a game and imagine the completed product will have programmer art- if it's still good, then okay, start from there and try to make it also feel and look good, but assuming it will look good, let alone as good as you imagine, is wishful thinking.

>>15246848

Actually, scratch the summoner class, that would require too many gameplay elements that the envoy and acrobat classes would never interact with. Instead, how about a merchant class? Gotta manage inventory, deal with money, all the time buying and selling new products and resources and everything.
