Re: Ask HN: What game do you wish existed?
#612I 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…
If you don’t mind learning a board game or a handful of UI quirks, Board Game Arena’s real-time mode more-or-less does this. And they have some great games on there, too.

2. The game TIS-100 was supposed to be a minigame in.

#616Azad - from Ian Bank’s player of games: not in its avatar as an entrance exam for Azadian civil services, but just for the complexity and sheer range implied by the game.
Then, Thud, the game loosely described by Sir Terry Pratchett in Thud!

#617For me I think the answer is Star Citizen, I've always wanted a immersive space sim where I can explore other planets, fly cool space ships, and have space battles. The game is still in alpha and will likely be there for awhile longer with the scope they are trying to accomplish. With that said I thought I would try it after years of hearing about it during one of their free fly events and I love it, sure it isn't finished and has a fair share of bugs but it is so immersive it is kinda unreal at times and has many times left me just in awe.
Other games I wish more existed are puzzle games like Myst and Obduction. I want a puzzle game that makes me think outside the box and encourages discovery. I understand though why those games take so long to make and many puzzle games go for easier "puzzle" minigames because that appeals to a larger audience and is a lot easier to program.

#618A baroque space opera CPRG. Baldur's Gate, but in a sweeping interstellar setting.

#619I love factory simulation games (think Factorio, Satisfactory, Banished, DSP, ...) and one thing that I was always missing was a game with better simulation of raw material mining. Most simulation games have you just place a "mine" on a resource and that's it. I wanted to manage an open pit mine myself. Have excavators that mine ore and trucks move it for processing, but as they do, the shape of the terrain changes,…

#620The game idea I documented about a decade ago and have yet to start on because I never pushed myself to spend the required time to learn the C programming language enough to do it.
