Have you ever played a game and wondered what if you could do something that it doesn’t really allow you to do, for example being able to move around blocks in Minecraft fluidly instead of in sectors, edit the world in Hogwarts legacy with spells, be able to fly in a world like Elden Ring or Elder Scrolls with epic sky battles, have a sims game that simulates more than just sims needs, but whole economies, or a dystopian horror game set in a Minecraft style world. So I was wondering if anyone else had similar ideas for games or fantasies for possible games?
What’s your ideas for games that doesn’t really exist, or might not even really be possible to make?
A “legacy” game, where your contributions to the game continue even if you’re logged off, meted with an mmorpg
It could be anything, but my idea is something like cities:skylines. Interconnected cities or areas each with a mayor or admins that direct the goals of the area…
Then the 2nd aspect of the game is more like GTA, where people interact with the areas.
The areas could be like San Andreas, but then you could walk to the edge and it becomes more like a village from Warcraft. Or maybe an area is filled with ghosts and most of the goals in the area are delivering packages. Or maybe there’s an area like Sanctum 2, fallout, or any other idea. It would be up to the admins/mayors to figure out how to design it.
The game would fill in gaps in city creation for random encounters, etc. the in-game players actions would have some effect on the area itself.
I would expect the game to support itself through a combination of ads and subs. Companies could pay to have more control over what advertising exists in their area.

From video gaming to card games and stuff in between, if it’s gaming you can probably discuss it here!
