I want to play a real-time strategy game with a limit to the number of actions per minute. Look, I'm an old man now. I can't compete on reaction speed against 13-year-olds micro-managing each unit to perfection. But I can macro. I can plan. I can strategize. I can do that better than those damn kids. I want everyone to have a pool of 5 orders, refilling itself by 1 order per (1 second? 3 seconds?). Orders can be to a…

You can look at mobile games like Clash Royale. It's like a mini RTS, you get certain amount of resources per time, and deck builder combined.

- A low-brow, open world space sim. (Yes, I'm aware of Star Citizen, No Man's Sky, Elite and all the others, but hear me out): I would love to fly my cheap, derelict Lada Riva equivalent of a spaceship into a space station. No landing sequence or wrestling away of controls, I want to land on my own and I want to land shittily. As I touch down, garbage is stirred up and space rats scurry away from the landing site. I…

I could see something like this being REALLY cool in VR.

Elite Dangerous supports VR but everything is too clean. You need that layer of dirt and wobbly landings for authenticity.

(Disclaimer - I've only played all of like 15 minutes of ED in VR)

Competitive deckbuilding card game called "Bulletproof" where, at the beginning of every game, three 20 sided colored dice are rolled, with each color referencing a specific rules card and each number referencing a specific rule variant. The purpose of deckbuilding, then, is to not only build the deck that is not only most likely to win, but the deck which is most likely to be tolerant of rules variations. Hence the name.

A modern remake of the original Phantasy Star Online (Dreamcast).

Keep: - Dark atmosphere - Offline or online - Solo or party-based - Classes, skills/weapons based on classes - Rare/unique loot - Mags - Sound/Music design - Multiple areas - Progressive difficulty / replayability

Remake: - Combat - to modernize the combat, it could resemble something like Dark Souls.
