    I’d fund a tv series about Rendevouz with Rama -book series. Yes, the whole series, even the crappy, goofy books not written by Clarke. Though I’d probably try to tone down the incest that goes on in some of those sequels.

    Wing commander, Freespace.

    Games of this genre are completely dead. I’d love another decent mission based space flight game.

        Sure, X4 is amazing. But that is multi leveled. Management, etc.

        I’m talking about very specific mission based games. No economy. No money.

          Have you tried the original Everspace? It’s a roguelike so it’s basically randomised missions. Rebel Galaxy might also scratch the itch but it’s more “naval” in it’s combat - you move on a 2d plane and fire broadsides, rather than dogfighting.

      Yeah. I troll through old Wing Commander-like titles for good SteamDeck support every so often, but then I realize that I also want to play with 3 friends.

      Whoever gets this done will get my money.

      In the meantime, there’s Empty Epsilon which is Star Trek, rather than Wing Commander; and there’s Starlink: Battle For Atlas, which at least has solid local co-op on a docked Nintendo Switch (but is sadly buried in DRM on SteamDeck, while also badly overpriced.)

      The guy behind Wing Commander (and my favorite game of all time, Privateer) has a mission based space flight game out next year. You can see the first hour of gameplay here: https://youtu.be/1H-0x4xk2Xk

      Keep in mind, cutscenes are in-engine not pre-rendered.

      It has to have the same energy though. Dong have to be the same characters, doesn’t have to feature Brakebills for Fillory, but needs the same “we’re broken and magic doesn’t make it better, but hey, here’s a canonical musical” feeling

        I like the “we’re broken & magic doesn’t make it better,” but I wanna fit all, or most, of the musicals into their own episodes. Though, an action-musical sequence in a The Magicians game would go hard af.

          Interesting. I always loved how they fit the musical entries into the story in a way that it makes sense that everyone is singing all of the sudden, lol

            That’s why we have to make it a time-fuck. You don’t even know what’s going on, but the musical episodes tie it all together, and are the key to escaping the spell…

    I’d like to see a foss micro kernal GNUHurd become as mature as linux.

    I’d like a serious focus on linux distro and kernel security so I’d fund research and development on those areas.

    I want to make an 8-bit rpg in the vein of Final Fantasy set in Mesoamerica.

    In the beginning you select classes/characters based on historical roles from the region. The class choice designates party roles and gives access to skills that are manually input via arrow keys or d-pad. Those skills drain a stamina resource that is refilled in combat.

    I want a magic system that resembles Metaphor Refantasio. Completing achievements/challenges characters unlock forms (stored in mirrors) based on Mesoamerican mythology that give access to spells that use mana points as a resource and a limit break transformation. There will be twenty forms, one for each symbol in the Tonalpolhualli.

    I want to write it in Lua so I can give it Balatro like bells and whistles. Or JavaScript because this whole thing is a total fantasy.

    Kerbal space program 2 with multiplayer.

    Kitten Space Agency was just announced with a lot of former KSP folks, but still super early and not sure if they’ll make it to the finish line

    Baten Kaitos 3.

    It’s a jrpg series. The twist was that it had pseudo-“deck building” turn-based combat where on your turn your had to complete runs within a time limit to attack.

    They released the first game, then did a prequel. The prequel improved on the first game massively, but you could tell they didn’t have as much budget.

    A third game was planned but never completed. They recently released an HD remaster of the first two games which gives me a little hope, but the series has been overshadowed by the team’s current breadwinner, Xenoblade Chronicles (Shulk from SSBU).

      Oh man, I would love a 3rd game! I started replaying the first two recently. Had to grab a pad of paper to note down all the side quest stuff I was finding. It brought me right back to the good old days.

        I played though origins a few months before the remaster was announced. I actually powered Pac man all the way up! Just in time to never need him. :/

    I think I’d just go with a lot of the obvious game choice adaptations - the big issues with anything done now are making something mainstream and having writers/directors not interested in the source material. If there’s no money involved and they can just be passion projects then some abject failures can be revisited.

    I’d love to see an Assassins Creed series properly adapted. A Prey movie. Cyberpunk 2077 series, Metro - hell even a completely batshit Atomic Heart movie. Just things which are gritty when they’re gritty, and a lot of fun when they’re supposed to be stupid, but faithful to the source is what’s important as that’s what the fans want to see.

    Would love to see an hbo style show for Dresden files or for Brandon sandersons cosmere. They both have some fantastic potential.

    I wouldn’t mind a cartoony anime style either similar to Vox Machina

      I imagine you already know, but for those who may not: Scifi Channel did a Dresden Files series like … 20? Years ago. I don’t remember if it was any good, but it definitely wasn’t HBO style and didn’t cover all the books.

    I would like to make a movie where I talk to my friends and we hang out and cook and eat and maybe do some fun and nice things in the community, like talking to people we don’t know and getting them to join us. I don’t really care how the movie turns out though, it just sounds fun to make.

    I’d love a 3D arcade rail shooter where you’re playing as a biblically accurate angel shooting down demons over cities and other landscapes. I’m already over the main obstacle which is knowing how to program, it’s just finding the time…
