What game would you create if you had the skills and experience of a veteran game dev? I.e. John Carmack
I would create a boxing game where you play as different fighters that look like the national animal of the country they’re from I.e. Germanys eagle and British lion.
(So basically, Furry Fight Night(
It’d be similar to that PS3/X360 game Facebreaker
If you had such skills and know how, what game would you create? Let me know!
elementary school food fight, with full physics.
Every monster collector out there tries to reinvent the Pokémon formula, but if I were to create one, it’d be like Digimon World 1: a semi-open world with a vivid sense of wonder and exploration, and fully-fledged pet raising mechanics.
I can’t fathom how beating up wild animals, forcefully capturing them, and pitting them against other animals in a government-sanctioned tournament is supposed to evoke a feeling of friendship and adventure.
I just want more in-depth mechanics to raise my magical animal, and more ways to interact with them outside of battles.
Elden Ring sequel following the Frenzied Flame ending, having Melina as a protagonist, and experimenting souls-like combat with a party creation system
DC’s Green Lantern action-RPG in which an OC Lantern suffering from Aphantasia must find out the fate of the disappeared lanterns from earth
If I were to stick to an original IP, an experimental rogue-like RTS, in an attempt to create a project capable of generating infinite narrative content from finite resources
A Star Wars game that is a mix of Minecraft, Elite Dangerous, and X4. Elite Dangerous flight model and galaxy. X4 fleet management and modability. Minecraft type planets but with buildable vehicles. And a dynamic event, economy, and faction system. A big galaxy size sandbox with 4X elements.
I’ll never make it sadly.
But I dream of a game that kind of looks and feels like a Pokémon game. But you are a witch or herbalist going round the different biomes in a fantasy setting making remedies and potions like a morrowind game.
So obviously there’s be your dying grandma or mentor and some sort of evil overtaking the land. You set out of the city with your knife, shovel and glassware. There’d be a pokedex of plant and animal parts to find and fill out. Roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits, then maybe also monster parts. There’d probably be a crafting tree like I’m Minecraft. Different biomes, seasons, or biome locations would inevitably have to be gated by tools or potions.
Eventually you’d discover the recipe to make the thing to defeat the BBEG and he’d probably show up to stop you from getting the last and rarest ingredient in the potion. Etc.
Would definitely need to ride the knifes edge of challenging a players knowledge and intuition about botany, as well as tropes in witchcraft and fantasy. Without being too hard, too requiring of memory and notes…
A challenge to making the game? Would need probably 5x the art in an old Zelda or Pokémon game. Talking 200+ unique foraged items, 6+ biomes with sub biome/habitats. Monsters. Townsfolk. Etc. Oh and I’d like have to learn how to code and make art. So yeah. Someone. Please make this game for me. Or tell me it exists.
