another patchwork of lame concept:

"and unholy amalgamation between Life Simulator, ARPG and Sandbox Survival, something along the lines of The Sims+Elder Scrolls+Minecraft"

"play as either a simple peasent or a hero of legend, spiritual leader or even potential god. survive in a high fantasy world with its own history and completelly destructable geography while you have freedom to develop whoever you want...."

Yes, someone should make that game. Hm, a good example of the life sim+destructable geography could be some race that mines stuff, like fantasy dwarfs. Living in a fortress.

well, due to being partially based on something akin to The Elder Scrolls. there would be some towns or locations randomly generated in the world. so dwarven structures could be coded i guess.

the world is not supposed to be blocky either. just to manage voxels like some new titles that are coming to life(life is feudal? empyrium, medieval engineers?)

the main hook on the game is make the player feel like his actions have a real repercussion in the world, outside of following a narrative. you could become the most powerfull wizard, the most famous thief, the most legendary warrior. heck, even the leader of the most bloodthirsty nation in the world. without having to be put on rails for it.

and of course there's the issue with random encounters, survival (this is partially a life simulator, so you will have to eat, drink, sleep, socialize and even take a sh*t....)

it would take years to make though...setting the most basic stuff is easy but the whole worldgen along with procedural encounters and that stuff would require decades of formation i guess...

you want to play chemistry k

Googling shows nothing useful.
Link to this "Chemistry K" game?

The goal is something between Pokemon, Critter Forge, Monster Rancher, and Rune Factory, but with the monsters being genuinely hostile, without the tones of "friendship".

Pretty sure the person was trying to say, "You want to play chemistry, k." K probably meaning "okay" but who knows? Maybe they meant Kerosene or Kellogs cereal.

ye i just in shite banter mood

I think he was saying, "So you want to play chemistry? Ok."
Because he thought your game was like real life chemistry.

Flabort, I would play your chain game. Go make it immediately.

Title: Chainistry K

[Sergius]

I want a game that explores the social implications of some event that caused a "forced evolution" of the human species as a whole. Like, there are tons of games where some baddy is plotting to change all humans and is stopped, but instead of that, it works, and it makes everyone sorta better (not silly superpowers a la DCUO, something more subtle).

Like, if the fusion ending of Mass Effect 3 had happened. But not as an adventure game, but as a game where now you have to find out what happens once everyone has to accept their new physiology. I haven't thought this thru, exactly. Just the broad idea.

[itisnotlogical]

Deus Ex is kinda that. The mechanical augs seen in Human Revolution and soon Mankind Divided have become mainstream, there's not much opposition to them anymore... but now, mechanical augs are going out of fashion now that nanoaugs exist, so your coworkers are understandably annoyed that basically their entire body is obsolete. It's pretty sympathetic honestly, and one of the best arguments against human augmentation that I've ever heard.

[Sergius]

Yeah but those augmentations are voluntary. I'm talking more about a species wide event that just changed human physiology. Like, just made everyone tougher/faster/smarter. Like turning everyone into baseline asgardians or something.

[KingofstarrySkies]

...Warframe? Sorta? The plot is odd but actually pretty good. Just takes a bit of slashslashslashslash and waiting to get there.

That sounds like the argument is based on the assumption that augmentation hardware is non-modular or, more specifically, that nanoaugs aren't backwards-compatible.

[itisnotlogical]

Since nano-augmentations are designed to work with organic tissue, there would have to be special augments that work with mechanicals. Those take time and money to research and produce, which would become less and less of an option for companies as mechanical augments become less popular anyway.

And what if augs aren't cross-compatible, i.e. your VersaLife arm socket won't fit any LIMB arms? What if VersaLife then goes out of business and stops producing arms that fit your socket? Would you risk making a piece of your body a third-rate, unofficial item?

In Metal Gear Solid nanomachines are passed out of your body and need to be replaced, just like your actual cells. So borrowing from that idea, I can see where the appeal of nanomachines comes in, since it's not at all like cloning an organic replacement organ when you decide you don't want your cyber hand anymore.
