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?
I have been really searching for an immersive FPS space sim centered on survival and building. Yes, I know space engineers exists and I’ve pumped many hours into it, but it just doesn’t satisfy this specific itch I have. One of the main mechanics I would like is you have to salvage derelicts for parts to cobble together a working ship where you can eventually work your way up to manufacturing new parts to build ships. Think of it almost like Rust + Space engineers + ship breaker in a way. I’ve wanted this for so long I started learning have development to try and make it come true!
Empyrion: Galactic Survival is not exactly what you wish for, but it’s an alternative to Space Engineers. Not as detailed on the building part though, but a bit more Rust-like (imo).
So definitely not an fps, and it’s currently in EA, but Ostranauts is a top down immersive space sim where you salvage derelicts for parts and can build your own ship. Made by the devs of Neo scavenger. Absolutely love it, and it definitely ticks a lot of those boxes.

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

Won’t tick all your boxes but have a look at stationeers.
