Have you ever played a game and wondered what if you could do something that it doesn’t really allow you to do, for example being able to move around blocks in Minecraft fluidly instead of in sectors, edit the world in Hogwarts legacy with spells, be able to fly in a world like Elden Ring or Elder Scrolls with epic sky battles, have a sims game that simulates more than just sims needs, but whole economies, or a dystopian horror game set in a Minecraft style world. So I was wondering if anyone else had similar ideas for games or fantasies for possible games?

What’s your ideas for games that doesn’t really exist, or might not even really be possible to make?

    Something with environmentalist and sustainability goals and principles rather than forms of destruction. I don’t want to kill things or chop down trees or blow stuff up. The world is difficult and I am tired.

      Just in case you haven’t seen it already, check out Terra Nil! It’s such a chill game, the perfect answer to “The world is difficult and I am tired”

        This does sound very good. I’ll need something better than the weak laptop I’m using just now. Something to think about. Thanks for the suggestion.

          It also has a mobile and tablet version available through a Netflix subscription if you have one.

            Might try a month’s sub to Netflix for some Korean drama this winter. Will keep this in mind if I do. Thanks.

      As someone else mentioned, Terra Nil is exactly this, another good one is Eco. You do chop down trees and mine and stuff but the goal is to be environmentally sustainable. The goal is to stop a meteor from blowing up your planet but you need to sustainably get there otherwise you’ll end up polluting the planet and making stuff worse in the process. Underrated but really good

      Community organizing, the game… Movement building, organizer training, etc… It could be something pretty low tech and still be interesting, thinking like Oregon Trail or a MUD.

      It’s loosely related. But at it’s core Death Stranding is about rebuilding a nation after a massive ecological disaster.
