Ideas for games you've had

[Nutria]

The Sims + Arma game. Aka a Mil-sim Sims.

I've always thought they should make it medieval and be about building and defending (and decorating) a castle, not just a home in suburbia. But I suppose that's what Rimworld is.

 

[Krice]

I'm thinking more and more about Dungeon Master style game, because no one to this day has reached the game design class of it. Even Chaos Strikes Back was worse in my opinion, it was a cash grab sequel. Dungeon Master, but without limitations it had for a lot of stuff.

 

[Vlajdermen]

An RTS game about Yugoslavia, in its entire lifespan from ww1 to the 1990s. I mean an elaborate, dramatic campaign, a la Brood War. There's great potential for both AoE-adjecent gameplay where you advance from age to age, with fixed force guerrilla missions, and for drama about idealism, the role weaker nations play in larger wars, the transience of political regimes.
Keep the point of view squarely within niggaslavia, with the foreigners being an overhanging presence (i.e. you hear about the Kaiser in briefings, but neither him nor any austrian ever talks to you directly. You see their forces help you within missions, but you never control them. Same goes for the british or the americans). Campaigns would go as follows:

Croats in Austria-hungary campaign (fight for a cause you barely understand and that has nothing to do with you)
K. of Serbia campaign (more self-assured but ultimately at the mercy of larger forces like England. You win and seemingly all is dandy)
Ustashe campaign (start as terrorists in the 1920s, work your way up to 1941 and founding of the NDH. You're at the mercy of Hitler but at least you got what you wanted?)
Chetniks campaign (switch between fighting against and for Hitler, low point of the campaign, you have no idea what to do)
Tito campaign (you win mostly by yourself, and it seems you got your happily ever after)
Milošević campaign (alas, no happily ever after. You struggle to keep control as you have lost the favour of the global superpowers)
Tuđman campaign (you fight for independence and win, you washed your hands of all the yugoslavia business, but does that ultimately solve all your problems?)
Izetbegović campaign (you try to do what Tuđman did but reality gets in the way. Decidely tragic ending.)

Would be a welcome break from all the war games that only ever acknowledge Hitler, Stalin and America. Call it edgy and pretentious, idgaf.

lol. The Sims Medieval is one of my favorite games of all time. You should give it a go. Super cute, and eliminates the purposelessness of the base game that some perceive as a flaw.

XCOM but you play the Taliban and the alien invaders with superior technology and slave races are the Americans.

With Handzar and UÇK DLC campaigns?

 

[Zed Duke of Banville]

A funny blobber, Grimoire style, set in the modern times.

Cleve's bunker should be the final dungeon.

Yes, but we need to be able to actually beat the game...

Actually, there are not enough games where you play the insurgents indeed. I wanted a strategy game about playing Viet-Minh in the Vietnam war, but there are almost none (some wargames let you play them in battle, but usually without the strategic guerrilla elements).

 

[Fargus]

After watching Primal (animated series) i had a weird idea for a Gothic clone set in stone age with some fantasy shit in it. Also dinosaurs.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

Cadillacs & Dinosaurs meets Turok Dinosaur Hunter (Lost World meets fallen tech) RPG?

Hell, throw in Land of the Lost & Journey to the Center of the Earth and a bit of Jurassic Park (World).

 

[Hobknobling]

Take the road deformation tech from Spintires and make a motocross game.

- Robin Hood 40K

I imagined something like managing a small "renegade settlement" away from the Imperium. Something like Renegade marines that would have their own agenda.

Just a simple mobile game. You got a bullseye right below a skyscraper, and you toss gays and trannies off the roof top and try to hit the bullseye. There's real physics and aerodynamics involved with the process, and you need to take wind speed and direction into account, and weather, as well as the size of the projectile you're tossing, and the projectile's tendency to want to flap like a bird on the way down. So, it shouldn't be too easy to get bullseye, there could be multiple difficulty options such as taller buildings, smaller bullseyes, and various weather conditions. I think it would sell millions of copies in Russia, China, and in the Islamic world. There would be videos of hero tosses posted by Russians on VK I'm sure. It's an RPG, you got stats and character creation, and level ups and trophies/achievements.

 

[Bigg Boss]

XCOM but you play the Taliban and the alien invaders with superior technology and slave races are the Americans.

XCOM but you play as:

Monster hunters. Something like Supernatural or X-COM Files.
Vigilantes (more serious than Vigilantes which was good and needs to be aped but was a little cheap)
Deep State hitsquad killing targets all around the world.

yeah thats right. A cool way to find these is to just pick a game that despite being underwhelming and shit still sells well, and then add whatever suffix you like. Beyond xcom that would be bethesda games. So for example an open world third person sandbox with some story elements, but this time its set in space. See, they're even doing it themselves.

That still sounds fun. But Robin Hood 40K is just so... elusive and ominous that I just had to ask. What could that possibly mean? The emperor as the ultimate vigilante? A megacity criminal story involving a series of heists? Some kind of underdog mercenary group that you get to lead? I also wrote down in detail a concept for an rpg/strategy hybrid in not!40k recently. Sadly I'm really not in the mood for it, which is a damn shame, because that was a hell of a story, cool interlocking mechanics, and possibly the best companions I've sketched out in a while. But oh well. I need something more uplifting and chill right now.

 

[Ranselknulf]

Here's a game idea.

You're a cat, and you walk around a city being a cat.

You don't kill anything, or fight anything. You just walk around and meow at stuff.

 

[Reinhardt]

You don't kill anything, or fight anything.

that's not how being cat works

 

[Ranselknulf]

Hmm, interesting.

I now have an idea too.
You're a dog, and you walk around a city being a dog.
You don't kill anything, or fight anyting. You just walk around with your tongue sticking out and piss and bark at stuff.

Maybe you could sell it for $30 on Steam, PS5, and Xbox.

 

[Reinhardt]

Hmm, i have an idea too.
You are a goat and you walk around... oh, wait...

 

[Ranselknulf]

I have an idea also, ur a 6 year old kid who walks around a NYC trans festival, maybe even visit a trans story time hour.
