Ask Lemmy

• The Death Gate Cycle by Margaret Weiss and Tracey Hickman would be top choice.

• An extremely close second would be a mini-series based on the novel Imajica by Clive Barker (second only because I don't think anything would be able to truly do that book justice on screen so I'd be hesitant to even try.)

• A longer miniseries of L.A. Confidential that tells the whole story of the novel rather than having to chop and streamline it for a movie runtime. I love the movie and I think how they chose to cut and edit the story down is actually really brilliant, but I'd be interested in seeing the whole thing play out in a mini-series.

I’d love a word-for-word film adaptation of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. And if I can’t get a film, I’ll take a solid MMO made of it by the same people that made Dark Age of Camelot.

Recreate Vagrant Story.

The focus would be on graphics and implementing a fast way of changing weapons and armor.

A next generation open source ww2/propeller combat flight sim from the community by the community. Sims (of any type) are a captive market so they are barely what they could be in this day and age. Open source sim and libraries could help in "pulling a Blender" with a next gen engine like Bevy engine.

I always wanted to see genres merged into one great big epic universe

Plan and manage a galactic empire in the Civilization paradigm

Enter individual space battles like Eve Online..

Force boarding of captive ships and battle through them like Quake..

But have all this connected and running simultaneously.. you might be rushing though a FPS battle inside a ship trying to control of it when another Frigate in the space battle blows it apart etc. Or even as the ships bridge and navigation remains under hostile control you manage to take control of its weapons and use them to aid your side. Possibilities are endless..

Thief or Deus Ex hard to decide

Revive Pushing Daisies. That show ended too soon.

Legacy of Kain, and the SoulReaver series.

A full remake of the classic games, and then the actual last game that they never finished.

Mike Flanagan was at one point signed up with Netflix to do a TV series adaptation of the Something is Killing the Children comics. It fell through. I want to see that series happen, very free reign to Flanagan with just a little bit of reeling in his long monologues.

I'd fund several of my favourite smut stories with a plot (some of them do!) as NC-17 movies or series.

And just because someone will be curious: Daemon & Sunny, Eudeamon, knock knock, Once it gets dark.

Pen and Teller's Desert Bus game. I'd make a Faithfull remake of it down to the amount of time it takes to complete.

I'd say the Hyperion Cantos. But even with infinite money and an Oscar, even Bradley Cooper can't get that shit made.

I'd fund A quality Fantasy MMO rpg so it wouldn't ever have micro transactions and would also scrub all guides about it from the internet in an attempt to bring back community based progression instead of 'why no meta bro?'

Series? More macross/robotech that makes sense. Macross Plus is the best for many reasons, but mostly because of the coherent plot. Give me awesome mecha, itano circus missile flights, and a plot that's not fucking stupid. (I can't stand robotech's plot, and macross is barely tolerable.)

Game? Master of Magic 2 that doesn't suck. I've seen 2 or 3 spiritual successors but they've failed in execution. Keep it simple. Update the original and add a touch of something. Don't reinvent it.

Movie? District 9 sequel. I don't know how they'd do it but the movie was so good I want more.

Deus Ex and cyberpunk.

Let them keep making games and slap as many wild dystopian conspiracy theories into it as possible. Both enhancing and sabotaging the general populous in it and watch the threads unravel and unite. Also would be curious to see how much of it ends up being true at the end of the day.

I have had plenty of game ideas in my head that I know could never become a reality since I ain't got the skills or money to make them happen.

One idea is essentially a game for the Luanti engine where it's pretty much you crash-land on Earth, maybe a thousand or so years into the future as someone meant to see how Earth is and if it's habitable again. It would play like one of those quest based mod packs for m*necraft. In this one, you'd essentially be dealing with resource shortages and fighting mainly just robots and whatever very sparse mutated animal life is left on the planet. Throughout the game you'd find different crest like things that would give you various animal based powers. Goal would be collect them all and beat all the bosses.

Another idea I've had is essentially a clone of the Ankama chess autobattler style game Krosmaga. In both games you'd select a character followed by your deck and fight against either a CPU or another player. Instead of followers of the deities in Krosmaga, you'd be taking the role of different anthro animal tribes. Biggest reason I'd wanna make that is so you avoid having to constantly be connected to the Internet just to play it, like you have to do with Krosmaga. Also to add features that should already be a thing in Krosmaga (being able to choose to battle your friend by connecting to them directly instead of the random player matchmaking they do in Krosmaga).

Manga-accurate Anime of Berserk fully hand drawn and without clang sounds for swords

Actual metaverse, consistent game physics, flight sim, animal sim, driving sim, etc. go through portals to enter different realms, like urban fantasy, high fantasy, scifi, cultivators, etc. inventory like those in cultivator/litrpg novels, I like the whole isekai genre fusion. Fusionfall prob influenced this take. Play as vr or pc/controller alongisde eachother. Vrchats never gonna be that, everythings avatar based no inventory, resonite meh, metas sucks, I dont see it happening

Who wouldn’t?

I'd give the guy who made Wazhack a bunch of money. I like his take on nethack

Kaos season 2 to infinity

I'm addicted to urban fantasy right now so I definitely wish we could get another swing at The Secret World. I love hidden world things like a second society of cryptids beneath the mundane and I've been inlove with the setting for forever.

I know the devs were talking about a tv series but... nothing.

I've also always wanted to do a band of brothers style series but from a star wars' perspective where half the series is in the eyes of rebels and the other half in the eyes of the empire. But to slowly build up more gray morality - like the rebel soldiers have to struggle with committing acts that cause civilian casualties to push their objective. Or the stormtroopers slowly being broken from the imperial cult but still loyal to the concept of what it means for order.

Or like.. a band of brothers style series of a platoon of imperial guardsman in 40k. Just guys struggling to survive demons, aliens, and killer robots.

Animated series for one of my favorite novels: Worm

It should be a long running series, with focus on the characters and the superhero society as a whole.

Arcane level animation would be nice

F zero gx 2. GOAT racing game

Ringworld and its sequels The Ringworld Engineers, Ringworld's Children, and the Ringworld Throne, with some less-dated attitudes. I mean I'm not totally opposed to rishathra as a concept, but just a few tweaks here and there to catch up with modern attitudes.

If money really wasn't an issue, the entire "Known Space" series. A chance for some really good CGI with Pierson's Puppeteers, Kzin, and all the specialised post-human races living on the Ringworld. And Thrint, Slavers, Outsiders, and so on.

Then there's the first-contact "The Mote in God's Eye" and its sequel "The Mote in Murchison's Eye" AKA "The Gripping Hand". Another opportunity for some interesting three-armed CGI aliens.

Oh, and "Footfall" - an alien invasion story. These aliens look somewhat like baby elephants 😲

I'd fund a tv series about Rendevouz with Rama -book series. Yes, the whole series, even the crappy, goofy books not written by Clarke. Though I'd probably try to tone down the incest that goes on in some of those sequels.

I’d do a film version of the Illuminatus! Trilogy across 5 films, and make it feel as epic as the Odyssey or Ben Hur… really old school.

THE DARKNESS 3
