Now that 24 hours have passed we have our winner!

A huge thanks to @[email protected] for suggesting this awesome idea!

A survival crafting game where the tech tree goes backwards. You start in a prepper hole with working water filtration, food sources, etc, and everything is nice. Then something breaks and maybe you fix it. Something else breaks and maybe you fix that. Three things break at once, and at least one of them is going to stay broken. Have to do something more primitive and time consuming.

Eventually, enough things break that it’s no longer sustainable and you die. Game ranks you based on how long you last.

I would also like to thank every person in the comments for making their wonderful suggestions! I've read through every single one of them and all of them are really good!

You can view the game's code at https://github.com/SamLeeway/project-196, which is currently empty at the time of writing this, but every day from now I will contribute code there.

The game currently does not have any name other than "Project 196", so I will probably host a poll when we have at least something playable.

When the game would be playable? Making games ain't easy so it's pretty hard to estimate. I would say in around a week or so I should have a rough prototype if things go right.

Update

Didn't really have much time to work on this this week, so my week estimate is going out of the window. I will not estimate anymore. But I am still working on things, so game will happen. :)

A platformer where the characters have powers based on every fetish ever. All of them.

Sonic Adventure 3. The game's plot is written entirely by a LLM trained exclusively on Sonic fan-fiction, and the art style can best be described as "live action furry", starring all of your favourite original characters from DeviantART.

Fetch with your dog simulator.

A first person game where you throw a ball for an AI controlled dog. You get a score based on how well the dog can catch the ball, assessing things like distance, on the full, and whether the dog catches the ball in the air.

Areas are things like a backyard, a dog park, and wherever else. You could make one dog and add other breeds if you want to continue the project

I have a better idea but I won't tell you, so, a racing game that has the Minecraft ice boating mechanics

Boneraiser kinda did that already. But reverse a vampire surivor. You are the enemies. You create hordes of monsters (amount of kinda, maybe even some individual changes you can make per monstertype or just frankenstein them together). You can change their strategy in attacking and formation. And most importantly you the money you gather you can use to support and upgrade the heroes making them stronger and dropping more experience as a result. Oh, and then simply make it an MMORPG, thankies.

In depth character customization with meaningful impact on the game. Kinda like CDDA

Do mods count?

For the longest time I've wanted a Left 4 Dead 2 mod where you play as your choice of the TF2 mercs.

I don't deny it would take some creativity to combine the game mechanics, and would definitely break the difficulty curve, but I don't care one bit. I think it would be delicious.

I want a realistic down-to-earth ~~show~~ game that's completely off the wall and swarming with magic robots.

And, also, you should win things by ~~watching~~ playing.

HR simulator

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

a dark fantasy rpg with gameplay and graphics like ultrakill and ui (especially dialogue ui, without voice acting), modular armor and unique seeting like morrowind. No matter how you do the character creation you need to have a dnd dragonborn/tes argonian style lizard race cause I love them oh also spears :3 oh and skill checks like baldur's gate 3

A digital card game where players can trade cards with each other. No big digital card game does this for fear of loss of profits.

I miss trading cards with my friends.
