#742The Babylon 5 space combat game that was cancelled late in development. Think Wing Commander, but in the Babylon 5 universe as a Starfury pilot.

#743A persistent sandbox like mmo world with full 3D physics, maybe with low poly graphics. The game is based on free form crafting (like in a CAD modeler) with no preset items at all. Is that too much to ask?

#744This might be niche, but I want a game with the visual graphics and world design of the latest Wii Sports, but is open world. I just want to escape reality and sit in a coffee shop inside of one of their complexes, while watching strangers play bowling live. For extra points, allow me to work in the coffee shop, own an apartment in the city, use public transport, etc. Escapism is the true end goal.

#745The game to educate children math operations. Like multiplication table but with visual effects, so it's interesting to play.

#746A true "MMORPG". Back in the day when the genre was new, people were fascinated by the potential of virtual worlds and virtual societies. Social scientists did online studies on player behavior and the interactions people had online, on spontaneous self-governance coming into existence, on how communities formed and developed, and many other similar topics. That potential was never fulfilled. Today - some twenty year…
This is basically what people mean by The Metaverse. Digital cash + social interaction + player created environment and content. Getting all three of those right will be a big winner since it will literally mean the creation of a second world that people can inhabit. I don't think it's possible without any of those three elements.

#747I want a VR game where you're a bumblebee who's goal is to collect pollen in a yard. Your opponent is a spider who's goal is to catch you. They get to set up webs around the flowers before you spawn in, and maybe they can also shoot sticky webs at you to trap you.
Whenever you are trapped by the spider you get to enjoy the fully-immersive experience only VR can deliver of being eaten alive by a spider! Fun for the whole family!!

#749A multi-scope FPS/strategy game. Choose between:
- a battlefield/CoD-style FPS
- a DOTA/LoL RTS.
- a CiV-style turn-based strategy/simulation game
Each level sets the objectives for the one below, so the RTS players pick a pool of FPS players and set their objectives (go here, attack these other players or this objective). The CiV players actions determine the maps & matchups of the FPS/RTS players. They could see the stats of teams of other players to decide where to send them (this team with a low K/D ratio should retreat from this enemy team, this team does well on that map, etc).
Balance and matchmaking would be a real technical/game design challenge.
