If you're a gaming nerd, you have probably thought about it before. What you would put in a game of your own. So, if you actually have thought about it, or if you have good ideas, tell everyone here! I'll tell mine later...

A card game

Metroidvania :3

I normally go through different phases. I have thought of many ways to make my own 3D Mario (Mario Dimensions), and other types of sequels. An original game though? Never had a concrete thought about that. Of course, I have tried, but my thoughts for that game never become solid enough.

I have a solid idea for an original game... It's just heavily inspired off of Zelda and Paper Mario.

Probably a hack n slash.

I'm making one now.

I'll share an idea I haven't started yet because I know no one will. JRPG traditional 2D fighting game.

An RPG much like the ones in the SNES days, and I know exactly what the game would be about. I`ve attempted to do so a couple of times with RPG Maker, but I couldn`t, due to time and direction. I need to write the story and script before I can make it, but it is something I def want to do some day...

Me, trolling gaming forums.

In my youth, I would have said RPG, no hesitation. But today...?

A 2D platformer with nice modern graphics, a few cut scenes that last 10 seconds at most, and a decent difficulty curve made brutal with old-timey design. (3 lives, rare checkpoints, rare 1-Ups, the 'easiest' way to get extra lives is getting a good score - yep, both a timer and a score.) No game saves, although the game would record your best progress and any unlockables and art found in-game. Beating the game would unlock a higher difficulty setting with a slightly different (and cooler) story. Beating that would unlock the hardest difficulty, which is where the 'true' story and ending would be found.

It'd probably star a mascot-looking creature who can do some basic melee (including a classic butt-stomp sort of thing) as well as an innate ability to use magic spells - mostly non-combat in nature, more for altering the environment to speed up or just make traversal of the landscape possible. This creature is defending its home planet from invading aliens (humans gone extra crazy in the future trying to expand the Earth Empire), and may end up picking up and using some of their futuristic guns for short bursts and some of the Contra-inspired boss fights.

....
Well, that was a waste of time. Back to reality.
