saltnotsugarWhat is a video game that you'd love to play, but no one has developed yet?
MomoTimeToDieWell obviously I’d not know it since it doesn’t exist.
I was thinking more of a concept that you would love to see, like personally I’d love to see Crusader Kings combined with Total War drop in battles.
Unbelievably, the exact thing you've just described exists https://crusaderwars.com/
SSTFAn isometric or similar perspective CRPG with turn based combat, and the freedom to build characters and think up alternate ways to complete quests that is comparable to the original Fallout games.
Set in a slick scifi space opera, adventure universe. Where the player character controls their own ship and can fly from place to place, while also upgrading the ship and participating in space battles (also turn based). Lots of main planets to explore with bespoke elements, but also a good amount of tasteful procedural generation of minor planets to help fill out the game world.
A few games come close, but nothing quite gives me Classic Fallout + Mass Effect + No Man’s Sky that I want.
Mirror’s Edge-style gameplay (specifically first person) for experiencing Spider-man’s first few weeks of having powers, including the time prior to having built the web-shooters. I have wanted this ever since the teaser trailer for the first Andrew Garfield movie.
OtterThis is so close to what I’d want, which is basically this + somewhat accurate recreations of real life places.
Imaginary places would work too, but the main thing I’d like is to have more maps to explore than I can deal with. I could spend hours just exploring and goofing around
deegeeseSimEarth remake with a proper geologic and climate model.
All the newer games in that mode feel like they’re all about growing the predefined lifeforms.
SimEarth was more about making the planet to support the lifeforms.
EveryMuffinIsNowEncryptedcries in Spore
That game was such a disappointment.
JackGreenEarthI quite like it, what do you dislike?
You are one species. I want to play god.
Spent all their time on a cool creature customizer, but the actual gameplay is pretty shallow.
There are plenty of God simulators, but that’s not what Spore’s about. You could try Black and White, for instance.
In that vein, a remake of Sim Life using neural networks and all the latest “learning” and “evolving” tech.
Grownbravy [they/them]conversely, Battlefield: Lego
Not quite Lego, but check this out.
Just bought this game 2 weeks ago and I’m already at 50 hours. I’m addicted
It would be so fun!
I didn’t watch the video yet but got damn the more I think about it the more I want it
Large scale battles with titans and the excellent pilot mobility mechanics? Sign me the fuck up.
First person city planner, probably in vr where you can plan something out and then see your city grow as you walk around it
Sir_KevinCities VR is pretty close to that.
TeaHandsThis sounds mint and I’m sad I’m too solodev to make it.
There are far too few VR co-op games. The ones that exist are mostly shooters.
Asymmetrical VR co-op is a goldmine just waiting to be explored.
I’m curious to know what you mean! What is an asymmetrical VR co-op game?
By asymmetrical I mean a game where one person (or possibly more) is playing in VR while the other(s) are playing with a controller.
The first that comes to mind is Davigo which has yet to come out but looks like a lot of fun.
Another is Takelings: House Party
Additionally, Payday 2 oddly allows co-op between players on standard controllers and those in VR. That’s less interesting since they have the same abilities regardless of control method.
I’d love to see more games that explore asymmetry. Ever since Evolve ate up all my time for 2 years I’ve been looking for the next great asymmetric game and not enough devs have ventured in VR for that purpose.
DAVIGO – VR vs. PC | Alpha 3 Trailer
Phasmophobia is super fun co-op
Ithorian [comrade/them]No Man’s Sky but with the combat of Everspace 2, the economy of Endless Sky, the base defense of 7 Days to Die and fully developed factions and species.
buh [she/her, any]A game where the main missions feel like the early Silent Hill games but there are parts between where you explore a densely populated urban area like Cyberpunk 2077
A rapid fire, action point based tactical MMORPG.
Like 5 to 10 seconds for a turn, everyone lodges their turns and over the next 10 seconds the characters play out their actions with complex complications for unplanned conflicts. Like a guy running though someone elses thrown grenade or two guys trying to run through the same doorway.
Please, I highly suggest you to check ‘Your Only Move Is Hustle’. Not an mmo but sound exactly what you described.
It looks interesting. The easiest way to explain what I’m talking about is imagine fallout tactics on a grand scale and an mmo.
A realistic singleplayer shooter game with multiple settings from WW1 right through to the Vietnam war. Extensive maps, vehicles, and weapons. You can play anything from an infantry soldier to the captain of a battleship or pilot of a bomber.
Closest thing to that is the Arma games.
ivanafterallEspecially if you could mix and match eras and maps.
I want a vampire-survivors style game that integrates with my music streaming and the enemies/weapons sync to the music I’m playing.
Did you ever try Audiosurf?
Yeah it’s nothing like what I described
Yeah, but have you checked out frets on fire. It too can have your own music. Although.... That's even further from a vampire survivor game.
Theres a twin stick shooter in space that syncs to your music. No clue what its called anymore. It came a few years after audiosurf!
Good call, def will check this out
Thats the one!
Beat Hazard is sort of close, though a different theme. If you put it on one-stick mode (auto-aim) it plays more like Vampire Survivors.
I’d argue twin stick shooters like this are VS grandpa.
Random-ish waves of enemies, bullet hell, increasing difficulty… The main differences are the powerups instead of permanent level ups, usually the lack of autoaim (right?) and maybe lack of meta progression.
Interesting! I can already picture the min/max song playlists going around lol
Crypt of the Necrodancer lets you add custom music. I don’t think it is able to handle music streaming though it is a bit of a manual process iirc. The gameplay is pretty different from Vampire Survivors. Basically enemies all move and attack in patterns that increment based on a beat, and you need to time your movement and attacks to the beat as well. Fun game
drdiddlybadgerVictoria 2 except in space.
A terraforming game that is all about actual climate dynamics and trying to force random worlds into what ever shape possible.
👍Maximum Derek👍A modern, Rocket League-like, online multiplayer version of Rocket Jockey

SusagaSocial Anxiety Survival Horror. You’re a guy at a friend’s party trying to avoid conversations while putting in an appearance with your friend so they know you were here. You can deflect conversations with small talk you pick up by eavesdropping, but it won’t work on drunk people, so you also need to run and hide. Your ex-partner eventually shows up and is hunting you down to have a frank conversation about your relationship, which is instant game over.
roadrunner_exI haven’t played it, and the “social anxiety as horror”-slant feels more metaphorical than literal, but this makes me think of the game Homebody a little bit
I had a very similar idea but it’s about avoiding contact and conversation out on the street and on public transportation. May or may not be influenced by real life experience.
BOMBSWhat about Panic Disorder Survival Horror? You have to get through a full week, including 5 work days, 2 social events, and an errand…except you can have a panic attack at any time but also have a heart condition, so you’re not sure if you’re really having a panic attack or heart attack. If you guess wrong, you lose. Also you have to have a completely empty bladder and colon so you don’t soil yourself at work and get fired or in a social setting and lose friends out of embarrassment if you happen to have a panic attack in those settings. Easy mode comes with a script for xanax. Hard mode comes with an abusive stalker ex and their family.
I would love to buy this game on sale and never get around to playing it.
You can checkout …steampowered.com/…/Milk_inside_a_bag_of_milk_ins… - it’s not that but it’s a somewhat similar thing
proleEasy mode: party host has a dog or cat that will let you sit and pet it all night.
Warcraft III had maps called "RP Maps", which were kindof like D&D placing things, except everyone had the same control over the map. So it became more about telling a story rather than one person leading a group's game for them.
When wc3 kindof died off that kindof game along with many others didn't leave it. SCII mapmakers tried but it had issues with the complexity, and with SCII not allowing traditional saving for long sessions.
A lot of sandbox games are cool, but built around FPS engines instead of anything third person.
Hey I made a roleplaying inspired SC2 map back in the day! Player 1 was the DM, I had different ways to spawn and send units to various parts of the map, or resources to players. So I would do things like spawn in a neutral and a hostile faction and be like ‘there are bandits fucking with the locals’ or whatever. Whoever went in and saved them I could pop another trigger to gift the neutral units to that player, or I could gift resources. It was clunky but a lot of fun.
Semi-Hemi-DemigodI'd like a massive multiplayer game that's a combination of The Sims, Sim City, and Civilization, so you can play at every level of society. Build a house in a city, build a city in a country, or build a country in the world
