So, as a gamer I spend a lot of time thinking about what games I would want to make if I had the chance. One idea that keeps kicking around in my head is for a strategy RPG type game. I would like it to be a dark fantasy setting with gameplay similar to that of the old Shining Force games. I won't tell you about the story, but I have thought of that too. It would be designed as an episodic type game that would feature 5 different campaigns that would release as arcade/psn games individually and when they were all out it would get a retail release.
The thing that would really differentiate it is in multiplayer. Strategy RPG's have never really had a good multiplayer mode tacked on to it, so this would be something new and different. It would have lots of modes, such as your standard versus with 1v1 and 2v2 and a co-op capaign. However, the mode I would be really excited about is the online career mode. In the career mode players would play against each other and the winner would earn money. With that money they could buy additional weapons, armor, and other items/abilities to improve their armies. Much like MMO's the developer would be constantly updating the online career shop with better loot so that there is always something to work for.
Anyways, that is my idea, or at least part of it. So what ideas do you guys have for games that you wish you could make?
