Have you ever played a game and wondered what if you could do something that it doesn’t really allow you to do, for example being able to move around blocks in Minecraft fluidly instead of in sectors, edit the world in Hogwarts legacy with spells, be able to fly in a world like Elden Ring or Elder Scrolls with epic sky battles, have a sims game that simulates more than just sims needs, but whole economies, or a dystopian horror game set in a Minecraft style world. So I was wondering if anyone else had similar ideas for games or fantasies for possible games?

What’s your ideas for games that doesn’t really exist, or might not even really be possible to make?

    Something with environmentalist and sustainability goals and principles rather than forms of destruction. I don’t want to kill things or chop down trees or blow stuff up. The world is difficult and I am tired.

    I’d love for something like a watchmaker simulator to exist. You’d get broken watches, and you’d be tasked to take them apart, clean them and fix them up. Basically, something very similar to those almost ASMR videos on youtube where someone restores those completely broken things into a pristine state.

    An MMO where is truly feels like player versus environment and not another pawn versus environment. Stop having 300 people deliver the one lost ring to the same npc for days at a time. I think one way to do it is to provide a general prompt to GPT models and have them generate a few hundred similar but different quests that get assigned per player. But also keep track of these generated differences to weave a story. Make there be more npcs than players.

    Something like RDR2 but focused on the life sim part. Instead of narrative driven game where your main action in the world is violence, go all in on the simulation part with actually working economics, job choices etc.

    I want to be a lumberjack hauling wood to the local mill via the river, not a bandit robbing every passer by. Also, I should be able to buy high heels from the big city store.

    • Sealed room murder mystery, with no quirky characters. And with puzzles that require you to wiki stuff.
    • RPG that takes place outside of western European / American / Japanese setting. I wanna see games that take place in Korea, India, Africa
    • RPG that takes place in a small city where you can interact with most people, a small open world like Kamurocho (maybe larger), but allows interaction with most people, instead of just handful of quest givers.
    • Igavania but with modern sci-fi settings. Shadow Complex exists, but that’s more metroidvania (no leveling up or equipment drops from enemies)
    • Flight simulator but for road trip. Truck simulator but with real world map data
    • Flight simulator but for underwater exploration, with real world data.
    • PS3 Africa, but expanded to more regions, more animals.
    • God of War, but other mythologies, e.g. Egyptian, Chinese, South East Asians, Africans, Polynesians, etc.

    I think I want a game featuring Aztecs, Mayans, Incas and / or Olmecs (hell, any “New World” civilization) in a city building, RPG or RTS setting. Not enough focus is paid to what happened in South America or American southwest

    A game where you’re in the Star Wars Universe and it’s open world and you can walk around and interact with people and if the people on that planet aren’t doing it then you can get in your Millennium Falcon or any other SW starship and cruise on over to the next planet.

    Basically, No Man’s Sky on steroids with a Star Wars skin.
