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?
I want Master of Magic but modern. I want all the same style of gameplay (squares, not hexes) with similar art style (not grimdark browns) but uprez to modern resolutions (still pixel, but tiiiiny ones). I don’t think turn based strategy with tactical combat is popular enough right now to justify it.
I want World of Warcraft but it’s an actual role playing game. It’s not. It’s got roller coaster dungeons and the main characters are putting on a stage play, not actually there. They hide main characters when they’re not needed or inconvenient. There are so many Plot-By-Stupid writing mistakes. I don’t know if it’s possible to create a world that actually seems plausible (not realistic, but plausible). I want to love the story of Warcraft again, but it’s been years.
I want a game that doesn’t get corrupted by rich executives trying to squeeze every last dime out of people, but has the fidelity that large resources allow. I hate microtransactions, even if I don’t use them. I play games to get out of the world and its disparity of incomes and being poor. People running around with things I’ll never buy just reminds me that rich people are there.
