I was thinking of doing a thread where we take ideas from this thread and code them up.
I had a similar idea where idea people & devs would make proof-of-concepts.
However time is the largest resource we need, but don't have for such a thread to be successful :/
Someone might as well make a thread like that. Even if there isn't much activity there might be enough to make some short demos and prove that these games can be made, thus making someones day a little happier. Heck, there might even be some actual games that come out of it.
We can solve the activity problem with money though. I would be more than willing to quit my job and start/join a company that would do this kind of thing.
Community ideas, PoC, demos as well as quality full-featured games.
I believe there is a way to succeed here in some capacity, however it's not crystal clear to me how we'd go about this thing holistically. Note that I've came across a few freelancers that do this kind of thing (but unfortunately for boring mobile games).
For starters we could pick the best (most popular) idea in this thread that we can gradually realize with the resources we have.
Of course this isn't easy either. I prefer 2D action-based web games while hypothetically most of you might prefer a 3D simulator game.
If I'm developing games in my spare time, I want to make a game that is fun for me OR a game that will clearly be popular and thus I will be gratified by the fact that someone likes something I've made!
But if I'm being paid to develop a game, I will make sure to deliver the best 3D simulator game with all the glitches and bad stock graphics I can muster. (I'm being unjustly facetious. I know there are quite a few good simulator games out there!)
