Iain M. Banks’ Culture.
I’m deathly afraid of the day some big studio manages to buy the rights and produce a Hollywood version of the Culture. Mostly because it is very easy to flip through the Wikipedia entries and then take the superficial aesthetic of the Culture and misunderstand or ignore the rest.
For an example on how easy it is to do this: I remember vividly when the German translations of the later books came out, and they all had some variation of
The Culture is the galaxy-spanning empire of mankind. Unbeknownst to its citizens however, their supposedly benevolent machine gods are about to dispense with the needs for humans at all"
in the blurb. Someone scanned the wiki page until they read something about “superhuman AI” or the like, then went “ah, got it, I’ve seen Terminator”.
In a similar vein, I cannot imagine that Hollywood would portray the Culture as an unquestionably good Utopia. They’d not be able to resist to paint the luxury gay space communists as “…with a dark secret / actually dystopian /…” tones.
Yes, an rpg vector based video game to play in the browser. Actually trying to rearrange my life so I can make it :)
LEGO Avatar the Last Airbender
Omg! Omfg! Why have I never considered this before. That could be really fun.

I’d love a word-for-word film adaptation of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. And if I can’t get a film, I’ll take a solid MMO made of it by the same people that made Dark Age of Camelot.
Kaos season 2 to infinity
Maybe a slightly different take but… I always thought the Queensrÿche album Operation: Mindcrime could have been an interesting movie.
I’d probably try to get that made/fund that as a project.
A modern version of Shattered Galaxy
Same gameplay with modern graphics, QOL, and new UI.
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
Kill 6 billion demons could be agreat show.
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.
Uniracers 2
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.
I’d fund some dream MMO. Those things are bottomless money pits.
- 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 😌
