Another season of Firefly
EDIT: Or however many seasons it takes to wrap up the story properly. Also, I’ll pay the original actors however much it takes to join the project. And I’ll pay makeup artists and VFX artists however much it takes to make it appear like they haven’t aged.
Maybe Sarah Connor Chronicles as well. That show ended on a cliffhangwr without resolution.
Yes. Do a “Southpark” Eric Cartman. Make 5 seasons of Firefly and let know one see it.
Rumors will fly. Anticipation will build.
Lets a small numer of people see parts. Allow the rich to bribe me for access. Pay for other projects with the money. Charge enough that people only dpeak glowingly about it.
Release the whole thing for free.
me too. I would also make the dark tower series, but I would make sure it was accurate! no politically correctness. All the ugly stuff and an accurate Odetta
Glad to see some love for Sarah Connor Chronicles. Very underrated.
The showrunners said the next season was going to be some It’s a Wonderful Life type story, where John sees how the future could turn out without him.
Had to scroll way too far for this.
I’d fund the final three season of The Expanse.
And pay for the Elite Dangerous developers to better support simulators.
I’d hate Bezos a little bit less if he greenlit a season or two of the expanse to round off the last 3 books :o
His funding the middle three definitely made me hate him just a little bit less.
At this point I’d be willing to accept a movie of each of the last three books.
Maybe they’re going to wait another 20 years to make sure the actors are appropriately aged for the time skip. Think of the savings on makeup alone
Amazon/Bezos are too busy throwing money away on Lord of the Rings and Wheel of Time.
Give the original disco elysium team a blank check to do anything they want.
Doesn’t need to be a game, books, art, whatever. That team was lightning in a bottle.
I’d fund Larian to create and release creator tools for custom campaigns for their BG3 engine. Then let the community do its thing. It’s not perfect, but it’s pretty good for a general D&D video game engine.
I’d also request a sequel/DLC for BG3. Specifically, going to hell in search of a heart…
They did. The tools they released can “accidentally” be “hacked” easily to enable all needed features.
See https://youtube.com/@lotrichexe4860 for some work in progress videos of a custom campaign.
I’m pretty sure they aren’t allowed to by Hasbro. They’re making a Virtual Table Top for D&D with subscriptions and micro transactions, attempting to make that how you play D&D now. If Larian made BG3 compete with that, but without all the bullshit, then they’d lose.
Also, anyone looking for something better, or to get away from Hasbro, Pathfinder 2E is an actually well thought out game where you have to memorize a lot fewer exceptions and crap. It just makes sense and works how you’d expect.
Wing commander, Freespace.
Games of this genre are completely dead. I’d love another decent mission based space flight game.
Yeah. I troll through old Wing Commander-like titles for good SteamDeck support every so often, but then I realize that I also want to play with 3 friends.
Whoever gets this done will get my money.
In the meantime, there’s Empty Epsilon which is Star Trek, rather than Wing Commander; and there’s Starlink: Battle For Atlas, which at least has solid local co-op on a docked Nintendo Switch (but is sadly buried in DRM on SteamDeck, while also badly overpriced.)
The guy behind Wing Commander (and my favorite game of all time, Privateer) has a mission based space flight game out next year. You can see the first hour of gameplay here: https://youtu.be/1H-0x4xk2Xk
Keep in mind, cutscenes are in-engine not pre-rendered.
Thank you for the link!
Nah dude. X4 is great. The genre is still niche, but not dead.
Sure, X4 is amazing. But that is multi leveled. Management, etc.
I’m talking about very specific mission based games. No economy. No money.
Have you tried the original Everspace? It’s a roguelike so it’s basically randomised missions. Rebel Galaxy might also scratch the itch but it’s more “naval” in it’s combat - you move on a 2d plane and fire broadsides, rather than dogfighting.
I have played Everspace 2. I enjoyed it.
Kerbal Space Program / Factorio / Stellaris crossover
Key elements would include:
-design a factory/macro-economy to produce aerospace components & weapons similar to Factorio
-using those components, design vehicles that obey real-ish physical laws similar to KSP
-arm those vehicles and use them as units in Real Time Strategy with the option to take First Person control of individual unitsSpace engineers survival pvp is similar to this but simplified. It’s basically Minecraft in space where you need production and build the ships block by block but the conveyers are simplified compared to factorio. Then the flight characteristics don’t have realistic planetary physics but at least you have a proper zero G environment with 6 degrees of thrust required or turn and burns so there’s the simplified ksp part. After that the multi-player combat is more like a elite dangerous with blocks being torn apart so there’s the simplified stellaris part. Unfortunately all of the factors are simplified so they are not 1:1 counterparts to the games listed but it’s the closest we have currently. Maybe space engineers 2 could change that though
Man, I played this game non-stop for two weeks, then dropped it for nearly a decade. Tried to pick it up and just couldn’t get back into it.
An X-Wing and TIE Fighter remake. Yeah, there’s the TFTC, but the X-Wing Alliance engine is pretty dated as well. And who knows how far along XWVM is. Why do none of these projects ever get developed as open source?
Did you play Squadrons? Wish it had been supported longer, but a great successor. Jade Raymond supposedly spearheaded it for love of the old games.
Yeah, I liked it. But I hate the slick story and the missions are a bit too cinematic for my taste. In TIE Fighter it felt more like a routine job that coincidentally got more exciting with every mission.
Personally I’d love to recreate The Walking Dead but I’d want it made much more realistic, slow paced and with less pointless action scenes. I’d want the zombies being the only unrealistic thing on the entire show. It would focus much more on the survival aspect of the zombie apocalypse. It would show things like loot-runs and base building in much greater detail. Instead of the flashy highlights it would be more about the mundane life in the apocalypse. There would be entire episodes where “nothing” happens.
I imagine it would be an extremely boring show for the vast majority of people, but the tiny niche audience of zombie fanatics like myself would absolutely love it. I’d let other people watch it for free (because why not) but it would be made entirely according to my personal preferences with no regard for how it would be received by others.
I don’t know if you game. If you do you’ll love this Project Zomboid it’s exactly what your describing. It’s so fun.
Project Zomboid is by far the best zombie survival game out there, especially playing with friends.
It’s fun but I have such trouble with the controls… My dad is in his 70’ s and he tries but I stopped offering… Big bummer because I love it when I can find games we can enjoy together, but as he gets older he has switched from keyboard and mouse to a controller, and he gets a lot more enjoyment out of games that don’t involve quick multi button actions. Though he won’t admit it. :(
I just want to jump through the window FFS!!! No don’t turn that way hit the zombie!
I’d love a longer look at how it all started, the way everything becomes clear and breaks down is so fascinating!
Yeah, it could follow several different characters including some that had been prepairing for it as well as ones that hadn’t and give an realistic representation of the things that really matter. Though I stopped watching the Last of Us, I really liked the basebuilding in the episode with Nick Offerman. I could watch multiple seasons of just that too.
Just hire the original show runner. The first season was amazing. Then AMC fired him.
I read this comic years ago, it would also be good one to do in that first season of twd style.
The Expanse
Just 3 more seasons to go
The last few books were amazing.
And the conclusion, the ending… chefs kiss. I loved it.
Would love to see them finish it and stay as close to the books as possible. I think they already deviated quite a bit though.
I’m on Abbadons Gate at the moment, it’s here that things really start changing now that Bull becomes a character. Otherwise I feel like it was only Soren that was very different. Though Soren and Drummer are some of my fave characters in the series.
I’d like to see a foss micro kernal GNUHurd become as mature as linux.
I’d like a serious focus on linux distro and kernel security so I’d fund research and development on those areas.
I’d happily finance another Dredd movie with Garland and Urban working on it.
Dredd was a seriously excellent action movie that really captured the spirit of the comics
Double movie trilogy of Star Craft and Brood War filmed back-to-back so there’s one every year for 6 years.
Just started reading through Brandon Sanderson’s Mistborn trilogy and it feels tailor-made for a game adaptation where the player is a Mistborn for hire before the events of the first book.
Spoilers from the first book
The magic system is well-defined and the noble factions are all there with their own headquarters. Traversal would be the perfect hybrid of Assassin’s Creed and Spiderman, running over rooftops and swinging from metal fixtures throughout Luthadel with iron and steel.
I imagine combat feeling like Breath of the Wild where the player can burn tin to slow down time, allowing the player to perform coin shots, dodge attacks, etc. Pewter increases damage and iron pulls weapons, coins, or enemies themselves if wearing armour. Zinc could allow skaa to be rioted, attacking nearby enemies on the player’s behalf whilst brass could be used for stealth.
Areas the player could access at any given time could be limited via soothing stations and metal availability. The mist itself would even allow the developers to keep draw distance down and prevent players from travelling too far outside the city grounds until the story permits.:::
For the same reasons about the magic system i would like this also with the codex alera series by jim butcher.
Playing different charqcters with different combination of elements would be satisfying
Sonic Adventure 3 with Chao Garden
A roguelike deck builder but with real time combat similar to Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories
Black and White 3
Knights of the Old Republic 3
Ian M Banks entire culture series.
I don’t know if the Culture is filmable? Having said that I think they said the same of things like Dune so maybe?
I’d still like to throw infinite amounts of money at it to find out.
But yeah. If it was filmable, someone would have had a half-hearted stab by now.
Apple tried to adapt Asimov’s Foundation with mixed results. I think something small and approachable like Player of Games or Consider Phlebas does for a nice action flick with philosophical underpinnings if taken by a good screewriter.
I’d be up for The Wasp Factory. In the Gothic horror style of “the fall of the house of usher”(Netflix?)
