I would acquire the rights to Tales From The Afternow by Sean Kennedy(The Fucking Man!)

Make a proper hbo quality(westworld level of production) out of it.

Then pay the author to write something that could be turned into a trilogy based on it, but set a thousand years forward.

And create a video game series using the main charqcters various life extensions set between the original series and the new trililogy, where hes on the same space ship but its like the outerlimits and you never know if the next episode is a continuation or a different era because the ship, much like in red dwarf, is essentially an immortal unchanging character

Immortal gates of pyre.

a bunch of the best starcraft II modders got together and made a spiritual successor to sc2 with books upon books of lore, entire functioning languages, an incredible UX, the best rts gameplay i've ever experienced, and all they need is fucking funding. ugh.

I'm sure there is, but they're unknown to me. I'm not going to fund stuff already owned and made and has a bunch of sequels and spinoffs. I'm going to find and fund something new, something that the other people with money aren't taking a risk on.

Maybe Rogue System, if I am remembering the name right. It had a Kickstarter that failed to meet the minimum, but God damn it sounds like a bad ass idea. A space sim where you would have to actually re-route power through other systems when the normal link has been damage and basically all the stupid little jargon ideas they do to solve things in Star Trek would be mechanics in the game. If you wanted. It would have had settings for so much shit to make it as arcadey or as realistic as you wanted.

Ambitious as hell, but the developer had videos actually showing off some of the mechanics in action and it was as good as I imagined it could be and I'm still kinda upset that its Kickstarter failed.

need another bioshock sequel another sleeping dogs sequel splinter cell sequel

A solid next Gen remake of Rocket Jockey and Road Rash

A sequel to Blood Wake or at least a spiritual successor.

Not many people know about this game but I feel it would do somewhat well with online multiplayer. I was in it for the single player story. I’m still intrigued by the world they created.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Maybe a slightly different take but… I always thought the Queensrÿche album Operation: Mindcrime could have been an interesting movie.

I’d probably try to get that made/fund that as a project.

Metal Gear Cobra: The Joy

The story of how the unit came to be Heroes in WWII, and especially the Normandy event for them. I want to see The Joy's story earlier. Potentially allow replaying as each member of the team.

A sequel could be training Snake amd doing missions with him in the 50's, ending with the flight to space.

Alternatively, tell the story of Raiden saving Sunny.

Live action/CGI gargoyles trilogy. Period piece (1991 New York) The vibe should be TMNT secret of the ooze. Silver Fox Johnathan Frakes plays the big bad, but not his original role, I'll get a writer's room to figure out his actual link to the situation, revealed at the end of the first movie.

Could end up crossing over with a live action CGI version of the current TMNT mutant mayhem situation, I'm open to it. Maybe The Last Ronan storyline is involved.

I'd finance a historical movie about the Soviet invasion of Central Europe in 1944-1945. Similar to The Promise with Oscar Isaac, which introduced loads of people to the Armenian Genocide, my movie would show the reality of the Soviet invasion towards the end of WW2. Too many people, especially in the affected region, still think of the Soviets as liberators, when in fact they were even more ruthless than the Nazis.

I would like to see Star Citizen come to fruition like it was still the era where microtransactions didn't exist.

A modern version of Shattered Galaxy

Same gameplay with modern graphics, QOL, and new UI.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (3 children)

A great game that uses time traveling as a key gameplay and plot device.

I would fund a full release of the Divided States, especially if I could fund an entire series of alt history shows.

The Starlost needs a remake. Great premise, dollar store execution.

Foreseeing the destruction of Earth, humanity builds a multi-generational starship called Earthship Ark, 50 miles (80 km) wide and 200 miles (320 km) long. The ship contains dozens of biospheres, each kilometres across and housing people of different cultures. Their goal is to find and seed a new world of a distant star.

In 2385, more than 100 years into the voyage, an unexplained accident occurs, and the ship goes into emergency mode in which each biosphere is sealed off from the others.

Centuries after its original launch, most of the descendants of the original crew and colonists are unaware that they are even aboard a spaceship.
