Career management game where you first create a character (gender, skin color, body type etc).

Then you select game difficulty via a slider. The slider affects visibly how many of your peers have different skin color, gender and body type than you, and invisibly how much you are rewarded for success and how much you are punished for mistakes.

Please make a spiritual successor to Crimson Skies.

The arcadey air combat, the alternative history air piracy setting, and the gloriously over-the-top voice acting and scripting.

After spending many hours of my childhood playing that game it would make my soul sing to play something like that again.

Have you played the Conkers Bad Fur day multiplayer? There is this mode called beach, where you play defenseless squirrels that have to make it over the border, which is guarded by nazi teddy bears. They have bazookas, snipers and turrets. All the squirrels have is their mobility.

So you run while there’s stuff exploding and shots fired over your heads and around you while you run for your life and it was the most fun I had in a multiplayer game ever.

i’ve always dreamt of a similar game, or a mod for this game with more players and maps.

But imagine, a game where one team has only their agility and parkour skills to make it somewhere, while the other team tries to kill them.

So either you go the silly route with the squirrels and simple controls, or you could make a game with deep parkour gameplay and evasion moves and the like, but the rules and the goal would be the same.

I’m thinking an RPG Maker style game. You play as Morpheus, the god of dreams. Each level is a different person’s dream. When you arrive the dream is a nightmare fueled by past experiences and internal feelings. You have to journey through the dreamscape and find these factors and resolve them to heal the psyche of the dreamer and turn the nightmare into a good dream.

An example would be a dream where the dreamer is delivering a presentation in front of a classroom naked while the other kids and teacher make fun of them. As that scene plays out, you walk around the school and discover little tidbits about the dreamer. Some of these tidbits are external factors that led to the dream, like memories of people making the dreamer embarrassed for being themselves. You could resolve these by fighting and defeating them in the form of nightmare creatures. And some of the tidbits will be internal factors, like feelings of insecurity and defense mechanisms like reinforcing ideas, that give power to the twisted logic of the dream. These, you have to heal by pointing out the flawed logic and encouraging the dreamer to accept themselves. Once you do everything, you go back to the classroom and find the dreamer giving a TED talk to an enraptured and admiring crowd.
