I was thinking of zombies gifting brains to other zombies, but I suppose there could be a human date DLC.

I meant not like Warm Bodies, but a dating simulator set after the apocalypse. The people you are dating are still regular old humans, its that you date them in the burnt out wrecks of buildings of the old age.

Another idea: The timer starts out at 5 minutes. Every level you complete sets it back a minute to no less than the amount you started the level with, with each level taking about a minute and half for a normal player to complete.
The enemies start out with normal humans with guns, and get progressively creepier and more disgusting as the timer runs out.
When the timer has run completely out, an eldritch horror escapes his confinement and destroys the world.
The goal of the game is to delay the inevitable as long as possible.

Aircraft carrier / crew management sim. With a twist; world is The Last Ship. Manage resources and crew (with promotions and US / Allied military ranks and promotion system). Manage your dwindling flight assets, crew, morale. Find / board / salvage and eventually build new ships and recruit new crew, all while dealing with officer promotions, crew morale, and founding of new governments (military dictatorships) on a map of the real world in a post apocalyptic setting.

TLDR, sure ddg Nathan James was in the arctic and immune to the virus. But what about the cv's?

Recently I've been thinking of a mix between those Democracy games and CK2-style strategy game where you play successive leaders of a political party. The game would model the development of the country you're in, and it would be structured around building up and maintaining support in different regions and different government levels. You could manage the party through different splits and mergers. There'd be internal factions based on policy (and trying to change policy would be like changing laws in CK2). Instead of vassals, you'd have candidates and representatives, who could be drawn in each place from a pool of party activists. You could try to engineer your own successors so the party continues to grow in the direction you want it.

I want a reverse "fight the giant monster" game. You know the ones where you're the quick, mobile fighter trying to fight the much larger monster, like Attack on Titan? I want a game where you play the Titan and have to deal with quick and intelligent tiny opponents.

Someone was talking earlier about how they wanted a roguelike where you started powerful and had to maintain that power.

It's not quite a roguelike in the sense that the levels are all hand-made (no procedural generation), but Brigador's Freelance mode fits.

You start the game as powerful as you can be - full armor, full shield (with room for overcharge), and the maximum amount of ammo for both your weapons.

As the game progresses, you'll need to pick your battles and fight carefully in order to make sure you don't spend too much ammo, you don't lose too much of your shielding, and, most importantly of all, that you don't wind up damaging your armor. Shielding and ammo can be regained, but armor cannot - any damage sustained to it remains until the run ends.

...

Reminds me of Sword of the Stars: The Pit - although I don't think it was the intention of the developers... A combination of a durability system on all items, a repair system that reduces maximum durability, and a paucity of usable drops (especially for armor) means that many classes are actually at their strongest with their starting kit and gradually weaken as they descend further into the dungeon; because all their stuff breaks down and/or runs out of ammo.

New idea, generation crazy game ideas with Talk to Transformer

A dating simulator set in a zombie apocalypse.
Impress your dates with your zombie-killing prowess!
Scavenge abandoned buildings for the perfect gift!
Repopulate the human race!
(This extension takes the storyline full circle:)

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

"...Reclaim the world from the undead!
The zombie apocalypse is finally here!
You've found a way to survive, but how far can you take it?
A game set in a zombie apocalypse.
Create a city of your dreams!
Build zombies with your friends and build them to your design requirements!
A survival game about living like a zombie!"

Other suggestions:
"Use zombies as meat for your next cook-off!"
... Apparently you're going to have zombie steaks at a barbeque party where you entertain the little ladies.

This one just goes off the rails:

A mysterious evil has abducted a group of beautiful blonde women! What is their fate?
Use your power power to transform the earth and take control of humans throughout a zombie apocalypse…
This game plays like a true zombie apocalypse and you can even bring your own companion to help you!
You can use the power of electricity to unleash the apocalypse upon a large horde of zombies! Don't leave the humans alive, or they will take over the world soon!
This game is full of new enemies and new weapons!
You need to control a bunch of different zombie types to control the zombies to survive and build your tribe!
You might have to fight against some extremely powerful new enemies if you really want to survive and destroy the zombies!
The Zombie mode is more fun with new weapons for your zombiest zombie!
New weapon types: Chainsaw, Hammer, Axe, Flail.
New weapons and traps: Chainsaw, Stone, Hammer, Axe, Handaxe, Fork, Spade, Stone!
Build an army that can protect your land against the zombie hordes!
You'll want to create and control your own tribes, cities and cities, and create your own

... and lastly, this one is basically an entire coherent pitch for a non-existent game complete with a backstory and an original title for the game:

Build the zombie army!
Play for fun!
Play as a zombie commander!
Join forces with other players for multiplayer cooperative fun!
Become the Zombie King!
The undead apocalypse has struck the city of Salem, Massachusetts. With no government or military and not even zombies to feed from, the city is left to the whim of the survivors. What starts out as a simple but brilliant attempt at survival rapidly turns into an increasingly complex game as you uncover the secrets of the city's past and how it comes to be the capital of a zombie uprising, the undead army which controls everything in the land, and the dark forces at work within the minds of everyone involved. Zombie Kings is an incredible blend of strategic multiplayer, exploration, survival, and a unique world where choices are as much about who you are and your choices as your actions.

I want a game that's basically Fallout New Vegas, minus the post apocalyptic elements.

A first person, action RPG with skills, stats, and gunplay that's at least on the level of FNV. Having gunplay mechanics be tighter wouldn't hurt. It would be nice if it could capture the overall "feel" of New Vegas, with small towns being prey to ruthless bandits, big cities full of corrupt individuals, and untamed, desolate wilds where anything can kill you.

I guess Red Dead Redemption 2 has a lot of that, but it has too little "make up your own character elements". FNV was the best because it let you play as a drifter who could have absolutely any backstory of your imagining, with no prior history, loyalties or commitments. The world of this western should definitely feel like it doesn't revolve around you, while also still open to being influenced by your more drastic choices.

[PTTG??]

What do you consider the post-apocalyptic elements, if not the collapse of civilization?

[pikachu17]

Did NDRL say anything about the collapse of civilization?
You can have "small towns being prey to ruthless bandits, big cities full of corrupt individuals, and untamed, desolate wilds where anything can kill you." without the collapse of civilization. It could be a frontier, western or space. Or with that description, it could be Middle Ages.

i suppose to bridge the techno gap (the laser weapons, power armor, whatever) this could be a cyberpunk western game. holy shit, having said that, why isn't there games like that.

More or less. A level of technology that allows gunfights would be the absolute minimum.

I like this. As long as the technology isn't super evenly divided. There needs to be a dichotomy between the wild outskirts and the bustling cities, and I suppose the technological gap helps with that.
