Video game ideas you're sure that only you think are a good idea

A JRPG that's also a 2D fighting game. That is, every time you run into a enemy on the overworld, you'd switch to a 2D-fighter. In the vein of Marvel vs. Capcom 2, you can select three characters from your party at once. You'd start off with one or two simple auto combos, and as you level up you'd unlock stronger moves that require more complex button presses to use, as well as special moves and supers.

A Spiritual Successor to The Simpsons Hit & Run similar to what Bug Fables is to the first two Paper Mario games. Like, not just "a Grand Theft Auto clone," but a game that specifically tries to capture the "feel" of SHAR if that makes sense. Being Lighter and Softer in general and having a general Simpsons-ish vibe to it, but being its own IP and thus having a slightly different world that can build from there. (Again, like Bug Fables to Paper Mario, it builds its own world from the ground up.) As for why I'm sure I'm the only one who thinks this is a good idea, I know little of the GTA franchise but I assume that most people would rather just have a game more derived from GTA itself than a SHAR-styled game. Or an actual licensed Simpsons game rather than an original work similar to it.

Tales from the Crypt, the Game. A collection of high-budgeted, triple-A horror games brought to you from your old pal, the Cryptkeeper.

Take the biggest and best names in the horror game biz, and give them lots of time and budget to make the best tales of terror they can. The titles can range from a couple hours to just 20 minutes, in order to concentrate the scares.

They can be based on the old EC comics, but they don't have to be.

A game when you play as snowmen and penguins fighting each others, both attacking from their respective forts.

a Pizza Tower mod or fangame based on that "Special Guest" meme like how we have Deltatraveler based from the "Kris where are we" meme for Deltarune.

Hear me out

God of War, but with Jesus as one of the antagonists.

Remember how Thor was a BAMF? That but Christian. Has a giant cross wrapped in barbed thorns as a weapon and a spear.

A Fire Emblem style Fate Series game.

A crossover game between Aquaman and Ecco the Dolphin.

A 40k game where you play as an imperial... and actually burn babies, burn "mutants" (read: "people who have the wrong skin colour"), purge "heretics" (read: book club discussing a novel about Krieg) and basically give us an Imperium that is truly, completely, 100% irredeemable...
And then switch you to a T'au and/or Eldar freeing these poor people from the tyranny of the imperium.

Make the first half of the game Too Bleak, Stopped Caring, and the second half a full-on Humans Are Bastards

Zombie Rescue.

People actively going out into the Zombie Apocalypse to save others, because to fight undeath, you have to save the living.

Also, all the rescuers wear Powered Armor, because I sick of no one in a zombie apocalypse wearing protection so I’m going to make sure they do in my game.

A creature collector game (a.k.a. "Pokémon clone") that sets itself apart from all the other games like that by not being a small indie game that could never rival the brand power of Pokémon, but instead being made by one of the big social media companies trying for "the next big thing". Meta-Mon. Orange Aliens. MonX.

I'm not sure if I actually think that is a good idea. I came up with it over at the video game industry thread because of intersecting discussion topics.

Rhythm Game Turn-Based Tactics where you have to stay on beat both before and during combat turns.

A Real-Time Strategy game for My Little Pony franchise. Could have scope of all five generations if possible, with each generation signed differently.

1. (G1) Dawn of Equestrian Lineage 2. (G2) The First Equestria 3. (G3) The Golden Age 4. (something fictional that causes the downfall of G1-G3 civilisation) The Dark Ages 5. (G4, Starswirl Era) The Arcane Age 6. (G4, Twilight Sparkle Era) The Age of Harmony 7. (G5) Modern Era

It could be 3D, of course. Wouldn't mind playing that game forever. Possibly points 2, 3 and 7 would be heavier on mundane missions (such as prepare a secret party), points 1 and 6 would strike balance between mundane, base-building and adventuring and points 4&5 would be heavier on adventure/base building parts.

A Kirby party game that isn't primarily a fighter. I think a board game could be fun!

An FPS game that focuses its bullet distribution so that you're never discouraged from looking for more bullets, and is never devalued by hitting the cap. Such as when your bullet inventory is maxed out, you get money instead, which you can spend to get an emergency refill at any point should you feel like you need more.

A Batman game made by the Like a Dragon developers, with the characters being voiced in Japanese by the usual Like a Dragon cast, such as Takaya Kuroda voicing Batman and Hidenari Ugaki voicing the Joker.

A game with the gimmick of The Wonderful 101 where you control a team of a hundred or so characters, but an open-world RPG, Wide-Open Sandbox survival, or an action adventure. You could maybe split up your army and have them go about in different spots on the map doing fetch quests, or have them all gather together for mobbing a boss. It'd probably be hell to code and harder to get it to run lagless on anything weaker than a quantum supercomputer currently, but I'd at the very least like the novelty of a hundred+ characters exploring the wilderness with each one being playable. Basically something like Zelda meets Pikmin except you directly control the team instead of a leader giving orders, and can technically switch around between any individual at will.

And while on the topic of things I think I'd only find a good idea, screw it, you'd also have the option to have the entire party fight naked, make it my full dream game of having a nudist army demolish everything that stands against them.

But really, hell, I'd just like to see more games that give the "100 or so heroes" thing a try.

I don't know of any in those particular genres, but there's Tonight We Riot which is a beat-em-up where you control a mob of dozens.

Ok i have this idea, you have a seal made of iron which make you slow but if you put it in some places, you can seal an entrance that make monster spawn, meaning if you can determinate when the monsters spawn and move it to a specific spot

A sequel to Fate/unlimited codes in the style of the Soul Series.

Where's My Remaster, a updated collection of Where's My Water, Where's My Perry, and their DLC level packs and seasonal demo app (Where's My Holiday, Where's My Valentine, & Where's My Summer) levels all in one app, and later on, Where's My Mickey with it's levels, potentially even new levels crossing over elements from the three games, like Mystery Duck levels for Perry & Mickey's games.

An Alternate Universe / Crossover fangame of OMORI and Hypnospace Outlaw series featuring Sunny and friends plus Mari (who never died in this universe, btw) as the protagonists, travelling into other residents' Headspace (everyone has their own Headspace in this world) via the Hypnospace to help with their problems and nightmares.

The game switches between taking place in the "real world" which is the social simulator part, and in the Hypnospace which is the turn-based dungeon crawler part, just like in Persona.

Everyone who goes to Hypnospace assume their Headspace counterpart's form as a sort of avatar that can use equipments (termed "addons" in-universe), items (or "files"), and magical spells (or "programs").

(The Hypnospace - and by extension, the Headspace - in this universe isn't just "Internet you use while you sleep" and fragments of people's imaginations, but are actually a part of a very real alternate reality that exists in parallel with the so-called "real world", but no one is aware of that fact expect for those at the top of Merchantsoft - at least at first.)

I had this bonkers idea for what I’d do for a T-Rated Pokemon Fan Game. One that’d take advantage of being an unofficial product.

School’s out and you and your friends are going off to explore the region. Sure the gyms and Pokemon League are closed for the moment, sure there’s that gang of criminals causing trouble, but seeing the sights around the region could still be fun. So after you get your starter, you set off on a fun little trip around the regions.

However, when you exit the nearby forest, you witness something freakish… it’s not a Pokemon… it looks like… a horrific fusion of South Park’s version of Mickey Mouse, Belos, and The Core with the three sharing such a horrific body alongside Bill Cipher. And they’re all in constant pain, rampaging through the forest and scaring off many Pokemon.

Aw sweet! Man made horrors beyond my comprehension!

This is how it’d take advantage of being a fan game. By having some moments where it becomes a Pokemon version of Pibby albeit with only the villains being corrupted into abominations.

Coincidentally some fellas in space suits have also arrived with the appearance of these abominations. They’re totally not characters from other series or continuities having traveled to your world to investigate the abominations.

In general, the game amounts to you traveling around the region, helping gym leaders out with stuff, dealing with a gang of crooks, and fighting those twisted villains, eventually you and your friends try get to the bottom of where these abominations are coming from.

A game with Killzone's aesthetic (or a full on reboot of the series) but done with the art-style of Quake or the early PS1 titles like Metal Gear Solid.

Basically chunky 3d models, dithering, etc

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/metalgear/images/7/70/A.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/1000?cb=20110619043921 https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/metalgear/images/b/b3/Genome_Soldier.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/1000?cb=20110601211451

This is just to provide some examples of what i'm describing, art wise.

Doubt someone will ever make something like it, however.

RPG where you could theoretically dodge every random encounter since they're kinda just out there in the open (kinda like modern Pokemon) BUT the bosses are scaled to how long you took to get to them, and the EXP rewards and boss drops are not modified in the slightest

basically Villain Forgot to Level Grind but literally

so like, take 30 minutes, boss 1 is level 5, but he still drops like 3000 EXP
