Now that 24 hours have passed we have our winner!
A huge thanks to @frezik@midwest.social for suggesting this awesome idea!
A survival crafting game where the tech tree goes backwards. You start in a prepper hole with working water filtration, food sources, etc, and everything is nice. Then something breaks and maybe you fix it. Something else breaks and maybe you fix that. Three things break at once, and at least one of them is going to stay broken. Have to do something more primitive and time consuming.
Eventually, enough things break that it’s no longer sustainable and you die. Game ranks you based on how long you last.
I would also like to thank every person in the comments for making their wonderful suggestions! I’ve read through every single one of them and all of them are really good!
You can view the game’s code at https://github.com/SamLeeway/project-196, which is currently empty at the time of writing this, but every day from now I will contribute code there.
The game currently does not have any name other than “Project 196”, so I will probably host a poll when we have at least something playable.
When the game would be playable? Making games ain’t easy so it’s pretty hard to estimate. I would say in around a week or so I should have a rough prototype if things go right.
Update
Didn’t really have much time to work on this this week, so my week estimate is going out of the window. I will not estimate anymore. But I am still working on things, so game will happen. :)
Discord Moderator Simulator 2024
The questions is, what stereotype of Discord Mod can you Play?
discord moderator horror game.
you must moderate a discord channel while sth tries to break into your house, and also you need to go to the fridge to eat regularlywould play
Holy shit this is an amazing idea
hatsune miku 3rd person doom inspired beat em up (with funky mode)
you gonna give the poor dev the money to license the hatsune miku IP?
legally distinct twintail anime idol 3rd person doom inspired beat em up (with funky mode)
You could do that and use the hatsune voice. from what I have read the voice is usable, even for commercial purposes, as long as you credit hatsune as the performer. Using the name and image is a different ball game though.

Oooh I like this idea a lot!

100% science based Dragon MMO
This is honestly the only answer.
So, like, some Jurassic Park/How To Train Your Dragon/WoW Dragonflight mashup type of thing?
it’s an old meme from reddit. Some designer said she had been working on a “science-based dragon MMO” for two years, and the progress she had was not promising
Coding an MMO would kill me 💀
Especially the one with scientifically accurate dragon breeding
I’m willing to bet there are herpetology enthusiasts that got into the field because they were interested in how dragons would breed. A game like this would be the apex of their lives.
GRR Martin does scientifically accurate dragons: No six-limbed nonsense, they have two legs and two wings. That’s generally good world-building advise, things can be different from the reality we know but you have to have rules, there’s got to be patterns, don’t just throw shit at the wall. If you absolutely want to have six-limbed dragons you better also have centaurs and other six-limbed creatures, there’s six-limbed gods, etc.
Pretty sure it’d just be an IRC chatroom with no dragons, that’s 100% science based :D
Unless you count komodo dragons…
Meh, still a better greenlight process than most major publishers.
A fighting game (like Street Fighter) but it’s all young children, in various schoolyards around the world.
Or Bully 2!

Detective game where you have to find plausible explenations for paranormal events
Like a Men In Black cover-up team, or more of a completely inept skeptic? Assuming the aliens and ghosts and such are real.
I was thinking something in the cover-up team direction
A 3d rpg and the story should be a nobles life that has to get to know his country because his father said so. Then you can decide if you wanna help your underlings or make their lives suffer. The timeframe is up to you
Career management game where you first create a character (gender, skin color, body type etc).
Then you select game difficulty via a slider. The slider affects visibly how many of your peers have different skin color, gender and body type than you, and invisibly how much you are rewarded for success and how much you are punished for mistakes.
South Park already did this.
Develop a game about game developing, but make this one good unlike all the others
I think that game is called Godot - unless you’re hardcore, then I recommend GCC.
Please make a spiritual successor to Crimson Skies.
The arcadey air combat, the alternative history air piracy setting, and the gloriously over-the-top voice acting and scripting.
After spending many hours of my childhood playing that game it would make my soul sing to play something like that again.

I think we’re asking for a bit much here…
This has to be the answer.
