#792Black Ops Zombies but with an insane amount more depth:
- We're talking things like skill trees.
- Levels that take hardcore amounts of time to master (think like the original runescape)
- Actual good game play at higher rounds (all zombie games have this problem -- there is not enough built into the game for the player to keep going at higher rounds)
- Weapons and abilities that don't follow standard physics with weapons and hence require skill to master beyond pointing at enemies.
One thing that is really great about zombies is you have to decide how to spend your points to stay alive. Do you buy a specific power up now or wait? should you buy this weapon or save up? I think it would be cool if there were even more choices to make. These simple decisions have so many consequences that make every game unique. It's honestly really cool game design.

#793I always think of how a game where Minecraft meets Starcraft would be really awesome.

#794TES III: Morrowind, but with all NPC dialogue voiced and the entire mainland complete.
Also with crispier graphics, but avoiding the goofines of Oblivion.
I remember my first time seeing the Ordinators. You hardly see such detail and badass design in RPG games now.
So, in essence, I want Morrowind remastered.

#795Lots of space game related comments, but none seem close to what I would like, so here goes. I was absolutely blown away by the first part of the 2017 VR game Lone Echo, where you're an android called Jack, and you're helping your commander Liz make repairs on and around a spaceship. I want a game that's basically just that. Hanging out with my AI commander, repairing stuff around the ship, maybe at some point go on almost mundane missions while keeping the ship afloat. No combat, no leveling up, no skill trees. Just a slice of life space sim where I can pop in whenever I have a free hour after work. I realize this is probably an extreme niche, but hey, you asked!

#796Do you know how some people can create mindbogglingly creative scenes, worlds and alternative universes out of nothing?
Like Starry Night in Minecraft [1], imaginary castles [2], Magica Voxel scenes [3] and a good chunk of DeviantArt and ArtStation material.
I'd love to be able to go in and explore these creations by walking, flying or being taken on a tour and just gaping at things. No other goal but just to stare and to be amazed.
But it's all gotta be a single experience, seamlessly connected to allow going from one "world" to another with no effort. And do, of course, charge an entrance fee for this, it's only fair.

#797A website with classic games (tic tac toe, crossword puzzles, minesweeper, soduko, etc.) that collected all (and I mean all) the data from every game and showed insane statistics about how well you did, relative to all the other players. If possible, showed you how to get better.

#798Got a couple ideas I've wantes to implement but haven't made the time to build them:
stardew valley meets fallout.
Subnatica in space. Inspired by an episode of love death plus robots.

#799Terminator RTS with units you can send back in time to same location they were sent from. An alert would be broadcast that a time rift was opening and what time was the target, to allow for players to counter. AI would play out the game from there and update current state.

#800Star Control II, but more so. Star Control II is a collection of different interrelated minigame mechanics. You have spacewar-style combat, planet exploration resource collection, interactive storytelling with the communications with other races, resource and time management, ship and fleet customization, and exploration of the universe. But some planets could require a side-scrolling platformer, instead of the top-d…
Btw, I'd love to have something like SC2 in the sense of the huge galaxy to explore and mystery to unravel, but with space combat like FTL!
