I want a simulator game like lawnmower simulator, power washing simulator, euro truck simulator, and other games like that, where you plow snow from an area. Seems like it could be fun.

I like plowing real snow but that is fucking exhausting, cold, and can't be done year around.

I have no idea if it would be fun or not but maybe.

There is a game under development that's kinda like the one I want but it's very pre alpha at the moment and I want more areas and less roads. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1536910/Snow_Plow/

Give me RCT2 or Zoo Tycoon, mixed with Hitman against any random visitor, and you have to build the park around decent ways to stay hidden and the like

I want a pokemon RPG game. Give me a type- specific skill tree that I as a trainer can earn xp and level up. Fire moves deal +10% dmg, burn chance up +5%, water moves deal -10% dmg, etc. Maybe some general ones too like catch chance +5%, wild pokemon encounters -10% (or +10%), money earned +10%, etc.

So many trainers seem to be focused on one or two specific types, why not encourage the player to do the same? Allow players to re-spec with the professor if they want to change things up.

So tired of the same gameplay just being given a new coat of paint.

An RPG where all the characters are LLM-powered with their story baked in, so you can actually have a free conversation with them and they'll be basically chatGPT pretending they're an actual real character. Bonus points for it being a VR game.

Next iteration: a game that's generated by an AI while you play it so every playthrough is absolutely completely different.

I can't wait for AI-powered games, to be honest.

Okay bear with me as I go on an unhinged rant about a game I've wanted for years but is very unlikely to happen. For this we need to go into the deep Elder Scrolls lore, which I am going to butcher mostly because my version is amusing to me and all ideas are canon.

Imagine a magic steampunk world completely alien from our own, none of this Skyrim nonsense but truly alien. A time traveling thousand foot tall Magical Murder Mech decides 'yolo I'm destroy the planet', and almost does too, until Some Demigod shows up in their own time traveling magical murder mech (this one isn't nearly as impressive though). They go fisticuffs with each other, a bunch of the planet is destroyed. Some normal people with hopes and dreams or whatever are like 'this blows' so they build a magical space ship. Not like a magical space rocket; I mean like a Sailboat on Steroids. They decide to fuck off to the moon because where else would you go. Anyway Some Demigod gets mangled by the other, better Magical Murder Mech who then follows the normal people with hopes and dreams or whatever to the moon, because that's the most obvious choice for them to escape to because where else would you go. They show up ready to fuck up the moon colony when Complete Rando walks up and back-sasses the time traveling Magical Murder Mech to death. He then wanders up to Guy In Charge and is like 'hey I want to fuck your daughter', but surprise! The daughter is actually an intersex pansexual enby, oh and also they're a god. So Complete Rando takes one look at that Gorgeous Deity (who is also maybe a lot a bit fascist but that's a different story) and is like hell yeah, with our libidos combined we can repopulate the planet together.

Now that we've got that out of the way, I want a game that takes place from the perspectives of multiple normal people with hopes and dreams or whatever. Different characters follow different sections of the story. So the first character you might be learning about the Magical Murder Mech that's running loose on the planet. You're trying to prepare, you catch glimpses of the thing while fleeing your home. Another character could be someone who is in the Sailboat on Steroids and trying to get by on limited supplies while looking for people you were separated from in the chaos. However many characters there ends up being though, it would be crucial that the last scene in this game is watching Complete Rando suck face with Gorgeous Deity because I also want a game that tilts phobes.

An insectoid themed MMORPG! I'm not even a fun of insects, it's just such an endless creative potential given their variety. Can have different classes and factions, for instance a Rhino bug tank, mantis-assasin, druid ladybug, Butterfly magician; The Ant Insect's Republic, Wasp Protectorate, Holy Bee Empire! Also underground cities, tons of them!

Unfortunately won't ever be made since an average player needs to be able to play as a human warrior to be interested...

A cooperative multiplayer shooter, but one player sees everything from above and delegates everyone else. Like in a RTS.

An Interstate 76 sequel/remake with modern graphics, physics, controls, etc.

The vehicle combat in Cyberpunk 2077 2.0 gave me a bit of a glimpse of that.

An actual good survival zombie MMO. Ala what day z and h1z1 were supposed to be. H1z1 had the idea to be a procedurally generated middle america setting that sounded amazing. But it turned into a battle royal. Day Z was supposed to be the hardcore survival zombie but it's too just turned into essentially a battle royal. I don't know. I know there has been so many in that genre but I don't feel like any of the ones I've played hit it right. 7 days to die is maybe the closest and I also really liked project zomboid too. I guess I thought dayz captured the realism of the combat with it's arma roots.

A realistic singleplayer shooter game with multiple settings from WW1 right through to the Vietnam war. Extensive maps, vehicles, and weapons. You can play anything from an infantry soldier to the captain of a battleship or pilot of a bomber.

Closest thing to that is the Arma games.

A wizard duel game. 1v1. The gimmick is that you have to do the somatic (arm waving) component for your spells to fire. Could work with VR controllers or even a Kinect. The longer your arm travels, the stronger the spell becomes. You, as a wizard, can "create" a list of somatic components and attribute them to an effect, like "fire" or "darkness" or "lightning". By mixing and matching your waving, you could cast a variety of spells with different effects, like a lightning bolt that sets the enemy on fire and engulfs them in darkness. To avoid being hit, you could either finish a counterspell faster, hit the enemy with an appropriately strong spell (at least 1 somatic component less than his current casting) or set up shields that will absorb a number of damage before dissipating.

To make the game fancy, you'd be able to customize your wizard and your wizard tower, both of which would be the centerpieces of the duel. Everything you'd unlock through gameplay, no battlepass bullshit, no microtransactions, no bullshit grind to make it last longer than it should.

I would like something halfway between Snowrunner and European Truck Simulator, with a well written single player RPG story mode where you get to help people by delivering stuff.

Or, something like Breath of the Wild only without fighting.

Or both.

Parking lot designer. Get hired to design a lot for some kind of business or entity (park, etc) and see how it plays out. Drive thrus, parking garages, stadium events, apartment lots, etc. Basically a city simulator focused on parking.

All I want is a mod for Left 4 Dead 2 in which you choose one of the Team Fortress 2 mercs as your character instead of the normal survivors. All weapon pickups just become ammo / metal, etc. Not quite sure if being downed should just be eliminated, due to easy healing from the medic, the dispenser, the sandvich, etc... But the respawn closets should function the same.

I don't care if it breaks the difficulty curve or dialogue, I just want it to function and be fun.

There are far too few VR co-op games. The ones that exist are mostly shooters.
