A proper movie adaptation of the hunger games books. They currently lack so much depth and detail that makes the parallels to the USA clear. Also actual young actors, people don’t realize how young the characters are supposed to be.
Star Citizen
No, bad. Spray bottle
World of cultivation, I’d fund a donghua for that book so fast
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
TV limited series adaptations of The Culture novels. Amazon obviously made a start before giving up but they picked absolutely the wrong one to start with.
Yes Consider Phlebus is the first chronologically but a TV series where you have to replace the main character every episode does not work when you are already trying to adapt a very difficult IP. Player of Games is where you want to begin. Clear storyline, no tricky time/universe/world jumps. Spends most of the time in an Earth-esque civilization. If you can successfully adapt PoG then you can try something more challenging like Phlebus or Use of Weapons.Did the (anti)protagonist shape shift that much in Phlebas? And even then would it have been a problem for the series? Money no object after all…
Ok, maybe I’m exaggerating on the “every episode” but you’re still going to need at least three actors to play the main character, plus intermediate appearances as they transform which lasts an episode or more. It’s definitely a significant additional problem that you just don’t have to deal with if you start with one of the other books.
The other challenge if you are thinking about doing multiple books and you start with Phlebas is that the Culture are the baddies. You spend a (most) of a series presenting them as such and then flip.
Regardless of the other difficulties, Amazon can absolutely not be trusted with Consider Phlebus to do anything but make the Culture either the bad guys or ancaps.
Two games should be made into movies -
Interstate 76
Full throttle
Probably dating myself with those suggestions. Another wildcard game that should be made into a movie - MechWarrior - whatever version.
I’d buy controlling share of all three companies that own Pokemon and change absolutely nothing except fund Game Freak to hire more software talent and give them enough time for an actual development cycle worth a damn.
Yes PLEASE
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.
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.:::
For the same reasons about the magic system i would like this also with the codex alera series by jim butcher.
Playing different charqcters with different combination of elements would be satisfying
Wheel of time movies or TV show THE RIGHT FUCKING WAY
WoT done like The LotR movies would be EPIC.
Also impossible, it’d take 30 years to film that many movies.
Sonic Adventure 3 with Chao Garden
A roguelike deck builder but with real time combat similar to Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories
Black and White 3
Knights of the Old Republic 3
I’d fund some dream MMO. Those things are bottomless money pits.
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.
I’m pretty sure they aren’t allowed to by Hasbro. They’re making a Virtual Table Top for D&D with subscriptions and micro transactions, attempting to make that how you play D&D now. If Larian made BG3 compete with that, but without all the bullshit, then they’d lose.
Also, anyone looking for something better, or to get away from Hasbro, Pathfinder 2E is an actually well thought out game where you have to memorize a lot fewer exceptions and crap. It just makes sense and works how you’d expect.
Give the original disco elysium team a blank check to do anything they want.
Doesn’t need to be a game, books, art, whatever. That team was lightning in a bottle.
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.
