Yeah, I would buy the rights to Kerbal Space Program and Dungeons and Dragons and just make it all free and make the KSP2 we all deserved. Then I’d fund a professional SCP cinematic universe, it basically has to be free because it’s a licensing mess of community creations but there are so many stories in it worthy of being part of a high budget serialized cinematic universe.
If moneys truly no object, then buy the Fallout IP, build a new engine with a creation kit that all actually works and is made with ease and stability of modding in mind and then make a high fantasy game with the same engine and let people go nuts. Downvote me if you want but I don’t think TES is inherently a good enough fantasy IP (the games have always been better than the central unique overarching plot) to be worth not just starting something new, or better yet, tie it in with the D&D IP I bought earlier.
Another season of Firefly
EDIT: Or however many seasons it takes to wrap up the story properly. Also, I’ll pay the original actors however much it takes to join the project. And I’ll pay makeup artists and VFX artists however much it takes to make it appear like they haven’t aged.
Maybe Sarah Connor Chronicles as well. That show ended on a cliffhangwr without resolution.
Glad to see some love for Sarah Connor Chronicles. Very underrated.
The showrunners said the next season was going to be some It’s a Wonderful Life type story, where John sees how the future could turn out without him.
Yes. Do a “Southpark” Eric Cartman. Make 5 seasons of Firefly and let know one see it.
Rumors will fly. Anticipation will build.
Lets a small numer of people see parts. Allow the rich to bribe me for access. Pay for other projects with the money. Charge enough that people only dpeak glowingly about it.
Release the whole thing for free.
I’d fund Larian to create and release creator tools for custom campaigns for their BG3 engine. Then let the community do its thing. It’s not perfect, but it’s pretty good for a general D&D video game engine.
I’d also request a sequel/DLC for BG3. Specifically, going to hell in search of a heart…
They did. The tools they released can “accidentally” be “hacked” easily to enable all needed features.
See https://youtube.com/@lotrichexe4860 for some work in progress videos of a custom campaign.
An X-Wing and TIE Fighter remake. Yeah, there’s the TFTC, but the X-Wing Alliance engine is pretty dated as well. And who knows how far along XWVM is. Why do none of these projects ever get developed as open source?
Did you play Squadrons? Wish it had been supported longer, but a great successor. Jade Raymond supposedly spearheaded it for love of the old games.
Yeah, I liked it. But I hate the slick story and the missions are a bit too cinematic for my taste. In TIE Fighter it felt more like a routine job that coincidentally got more exciting with every mission.
Fix up The Hobbit into 2 movies, with more practical effects, or at least more subtle cgi.
Make it six movies to really let Tolkien’s totally necessary interspecies romance room to grow.
Legacy of Kain, and the SoulReaver series.
A full remake of the classic games, and then the actual last game that they never finished.
Just started reading through Brandon Sanderson’s Mistborn trilogy and it feels tailor-made for a game adaptation where the player is a Mistborn for hire before the events of the first book.
Spoilers from the first book
The magic system is well-defined and the noble factions are all there with their own headquarters. Traversal would be the perfect hybrid of Assassin’s Creed and Spiderman, running over rooftops and swinging from metal fixtures throughout Luthadel with iron and steel.
I imagine combat feeling like Breath of the Wild where the player can burn tin to slow down time, allowing the player to perform coin shots, dodge attacks, etc. Pewter increases damage and iron pulls weapons, coins, or enemies themselves if wearing armour. Zinc could allow skaa to be rioted, attacking nearby enemies on the player’s behalf whilst brass could be used for stealth.
Areas the player could access at any given time could be limited via soothing stations and metal availability. The mist itself would even allow the developers to keep draw distance down and prevent players from travelling too far outside the city grounds until the story permits.:::
A more surrealist mashup of the SCP Universe, Alan Wake and Control. Im in love with those.
It’d be fucking awesome if there was a coop, milsim/realism scp game, just like GTFO. Something that let’s you play as a 9 tail fox squad.
It’d be so cool being dropped into a level, identifying the threats and SCPs, then also having to juggle them whilst engaging active threats.
Itd also be great to find SCP objects that you could interact with or use to your advantage during the level. Maybe even equipable.
There’s something here
A great game that uses time traveling as a key gameplay and plot device.
Games with time travel are very rare, there are a couple that come to mind.
Time splitters uses time travel in the plot and very little mechanically.
Achron is an RTS with time travel mechanics that’s honestly the only game I’ve ever played that allows you to time travel freely. E.g. send a scout to the enemy base, he gets killed, so you go back and don’t send him.
Revive Pushing Daisies. That show ended too soon.
Kaos season 2 to infinity
Ian M Banks entire culture series.
An open world TMNT game based on the original 90’s movie. It was dark and gritty and the perfect playground to fight the foot from the shadows.
- Wicked: I did a storyboard for this in college. I absolutely think this should have been an animated movie. And not 3D. Not because it’s bad, but I always envisioned the world to be more magical. And I think the animation opportunities would be AMAZING.
- Cats: Also should have been animated, and most of the cast was not picked for their singing ability. I think this could work in either 3D or 2D.
- Fatal Frame: I would love them to get the SH2 treatment. Same story but a bit more polished? And maybe a few glance features? Gosh, I’d be so fucking hype.
- The Hunger Games: Should have been a miniseries in my opinion. It was too much for a movie if you hadn’t read the book. So much is internal, but you don’t have the time to really infer that because of how fast they have to move.
- Les Miserables Just… You know, maybe give it a second pass…
- Rose of Versailles: I just want a nice remake, but, in late 80’s/early 90’s anime style. Not too big of a jump from the original style, but I think it would look nice.
- Elizabeth Freeman: When Hamilton came out (which I enjoyed immensely) I was like, “Huh. Rapping slave masters is neat, but any other stories for POC?” I then found out about Ms. Freeman, a woman I had literally never heard of. She sued for her own freedom before the Emancipation Proclamation and fucking won. Give me some songs about that shit. I already knew about the Founding Fathers and their greatness." As catchy as it is, maybe we could have spoken about someone else?
- Erased: Minor nitpick that always bothered me. When you first time see the villain (before you realize they’re the villain) they’re shown in half shadow. I was like," wouldn’t that be funny if that was villain? But they wouldn’t be that obvious." i spent the whole show trying to figure out who it was, but it was them. I wish I could have gotten rid of that one frame.
- PTSD Radio: I could see it working like Yami Shibai. I think it would be neat!
- Kuon: Remake, please and then you.
I see you have given this some thought.
Just a little 😌
I’d want to do a series of shows based on the chapters from World War Z
Yeah, I never really got the hate the movie got until I read the book, just seemed like a generic but passable zombie action movie.
Why even buy the rights to the novel if you’re only going to use the title?
it spent way too long in development hell and yeah, the final product is… almost unrelated to the source. shame.
A series could do each chapter justice.
