If you could make any game what would it be?

[nigella4me]

Me it would be a mega man game.

I think about this a lot, actually. I've been developing my idea for a while now. I'd definitely want to continue the Jak series, but with a new character. So my game would follow his daughter, who I named Abbi. Because Jak was experimented on with dark eco for two years, it flows through him. This gets passed on to his daughter (which it's later revealed that this is why he only had one kid, as he blames himself for Abbi being miserable all the time because of the dark eco). Jak's light powers were earned, not injected into him, which is why those aren't passed on. She decides that she's tired of the effect of dark eco ruining her experiences in life, and she sets out to get light powers so that the darkness can be balanced. She is misguided by Veger, who took the form of a Precursor in Jak 3 and uses it to his advantage to lead Abbi into getting things I haven't figured out yet to start the conflict of the story. Essentially, it would help him gain power so that he could do what he wanted initially in Jak 3. When that happens, it leads into the second game. Of course, she drags Daxter along with her, so the game would be Abbi and Daxter.

As for Abbi herself, she's rash, just like her father, but not as aggressive unless she's pushed too hard. She is more tactful in her approach to people and her aggression is generally passive. She has a knack for machinery and weaponry, like her parents, but is not big on racing or driving anything unless it's a hover board or a lizard leaper. She hates visiting Haven City, though she used to "sneak" into Mar's Tomb as a child, not knowing she was an heir. I went with the name Abbi for two reasons. The first because it flows well with Daxter and the second being a loose reference to Twitch Plays Pokemon. ABBBBBBK was released because of the false prophet, where Abbi is misguided by a false Precursor. Her full name is Abbi K Mar. The K doesn't stand for anything, if only to more strongly allude to the reference.

That's about all I have right now, but it feels good to actually have this all typed out! I don't care if anyone doesn't like it, haha.

 

[LauriJ]

My ideal game would be like a Super Mario 3D World/Galaxy hybrid, combining the best of both games. It's also hard.

 

[Satoshi Ookami]

I would make a JRPG fully voiced by Hanazawa Kana only.

 

[Maleficent]

Mass effect spin off.
Krogan dish-washing mini game simulation With ROM.

Spoiler:

You play as a silent 'protag' krogan. (You own a pet varren!)
You work in an Omega club.
However you don't live the life you've dreamed of.
You're not standing outside keeping violent street thugs out.
You're. . . In the back washing the used dishes from the club.
Recycling, cans, glasses, and bottles, keeping the back up-kept.
Moving stock and supplies strategically. While on your breaks,
Getting to know the rest of the staff.

The boss would be a Batarian female,
worried about making a mark on the club life.
If you level up your relationship with her,
She'll unlock bonus levels; tossing out unwanted drunk rabble.
(Not important enough to gain the interest of the bouncers,
But still worthy enough of getting kicked out by SOMEONE)

The DJ a male Qurrian who lost his pilgrimage ambition,
after getting a taste of the open wide galaxy.
With it's exotic lifestyles, aliens, and psychedelics.
He mostly deals with keeping the beats going, but
now and then he'll, begrudgingly, 'fix' the air-conditioning, or fog-machines.
("I left the fleet lifestyle behind to get away from all this! >:( ")

Along with other notable Employees and Customers, each romance-able,
regardless of gender or species.

Note: You can choose your gender, male or female, but you can also chose 'undisclosed'.
(Many will assume you're a male, but some question you could be female, as little is known

The game unlocks both romance/friends-only minigames.

Once Slavers Mine is completed, The player will then resume sandbox mode, as if they had received the first ending.

Kind of inspired by Mass Effect, Catherine, and Work Time Fun.

 

[Lusus]

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon game or a Megaman style game(X, Zero or ZX style).

despite the fact that i love PMD, it's actually preferably the later

 

[Sir Codin]

Another game using the Infinity Engine

 

[Mew]

Pokémon ROM hack where you transform into a Mew partway through.

 

[classiccartoonsftw]

I'd make a Mario game, in which I'd bring back enemies from Super Mario Bros. 2 and Super Mario Land 1 and 2, as well as some rarely used SMW enemies like the Rex, the Volcano Lotus, the Dino Rhino, and the Dino Torch. I'd also use the commonly used enemies, like the Goombas, the Koopas, and the Piranha Plants.

 

[donavannj]

I would make a very well made yet easily accessible city-simulator. As in, one that's got insane depth and realism if you want to go that deep, but still having a low player-entry barrier. I'd also like it to have some character to it, so it doesn't feel impersonal like some city-simulation games happen to feel like.
