I would love to have age of empires 2 but with an mmo sized map. And thousands of players at the same time. Don’t ask me how you would actually win, but I like the idea.

#302A full-featured open-world RPG that can be casually played in 2-3 hour sessions once or twice a week.
I love this game format (Skyrim, BotW, WoW) etc but they're all best played very consistently for many hours at a time. I simply don't have that time anymore.
Something that will remind you where you left off (what you were doing, where you were going), controls/mechanisms that aren't overly complicated (nothing worse than booting up a game and realizing you forget how to attack), etc.

#304Third post now, but I'd like to see a kids' game built around schemas ("up", "down", "on top of" etc) that uses voice recognition to promote and reward speech in young children. My specific use case is children like my son, who are mostly non-verbal but who can occasionally muster the words to ask Alexa for a song (or badger me for chocolate). Games are a great way to tease more language out of kids like him, but there aren't many that fit.

#305A combination of first person shooter and real time strategy. There is a large map and balanced units on each side. Each round, a team commander is chosen randomly from each team. During play, the commander sees a bird’s eye view of the current battle and directs player objectives, waypoints, etc. while everyone else is playing COD-style first person (trying to take advantage of the intelligence and goal setting from…
Savage XR and Savage 2 are a bit like that, but I don't think either have very active communities these days.

#306Justice simulator: same concept as sim city, but focused on how policing, social services, education, welfare and prisons tie up. Aim is net zero crime, with all policy options available from totalitarian state, through centrist managerialism, all the way to left wing defunding the police.

#307Battleheart Legacy 2
BHL is the perfect action adventure RPG, I just want more of it. A more expansive campaign, more plot lines, more character classes and abilities. I go back and play through BHL every 6 months or so and have done since it came out.

#308I really want Stardew Valley but like an MMO and with more combat. I like being able to just sit on my farm and what not, but it'd be more fun with a thriving community. I also get very bored with the combat eventually. I'm thinking something with a little more magic focus too (maybe you can make spells, make the material for spells, etc, and get to decide your profession like WoW to encourage you to work with your community).
Since Stardew was created by a single (obviously very talented) dev, I always feel like I could get a first pass at this done, but free time is always an issue!

#309[Borrowers: The Game] You live as tiny mouse-sized humans existing with regular humans who should never know your presence as you occupy the walls and spaces in their home. Every day you must hunt for food, which involves collecting gear to traverse spaces (paperclip + string = grappling hook and rope, matchstick = torch, plastic bag = parachute) to reach places where food is stored (i.e. the kitchen - defended by th…
It's more action-adventure than sandbox but you should check out Chibi-Robo.
