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?

I always had an idea in my head for an MMO type game where people pilot a huge spaceship. Different people would play different roles:

Certain players control the cannons.
Other players control navigation, ship upgrades, and medical.
Still, other players would leave the ship and explore planets below.

I had dozens of other roles in mind. I even thought about massive "Star Destroyer vs. Star Destroyer" style battles where everyone involved was a real person. It's an impossible game to design, but it would be cool if someone could pull it off.

this exists in EVE, except only one pilot for the star destroyers.

A huge epic AD&D game similar to Baldur's Gate 2 but built from the ground up to take advantage of consoles.

Unbelieveable!  Also depressing! 

I'm going to research this game.  It must be the most awesome game, ever!

I just "wiki'd" EVE. I'm going to watch the video now. Amazing. My dream game was already made 7 years ago. From the pics, it looks like a good game, too! Unbelievable!!

It's great. I played heavily for a few months until school started. I just don't have enough time to play it.

I would make a gigantic RPG type game where battles are controlled like Rome: total war, and you can take part in the battles, while makes choices throughout the game.

I'd make a strategy RPG, too. It'd be like Front Mission but with giant women instead of mechs.
