What type of game do you want to play that doesn't really exist? - eviltoast

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?

    I would like a language learning video game which is set up as a MMO, and you “reverse” level. You start with massive equipment because you need it to be able to fight the learning monsters, but as you get more proficient you get hit less(fewer mistakes) and do more damage (faster language entry) so you can start dropping equipment. So the monk running around in a loin cloth is the goal. All sorts of multi-player interactions are possible around setting up conversations, handling larger readings, etc.

      this sounds awesome. I don’t know if it’s on your radar but there’s a game coming out called Newcomer that looks like a half decent language learning video game.

        That’s the one I was trying to remember, I’d heard about it back when it was just starting out! Unfortunately, it still doesn’t support türkçe, and I’m not exactly in the position as a learner to help add it or I’d be all over that :(
