The inevitable full-history paradox game.

Starts in -10,000 BCE. I feel that the tech tree would be very important to refine.

The best part is that it's impossibly ambitious for most companies, but heck this thing could cost $500 by the time you have all the DLC and it's normal for paradox.

Only history? Written records seem to be a rather limited field... Wouldn't it make more sense to try to charge up a favourable big-bang and end trying to generate and survive a new one?

I wish there was a game like Hexen but not at all like Hexen.

Hexen's a dark fantasy first-person action game based on DOOM. It takes place in a delightfully grim and gory world with all sorts of weird fantasy creatures to beat up, hack to bits or zap with magic. It had every opportunity to be fun, every chance to be an alright game.

But, Raven seemed hell-bent on making a puzzle platformer. Using DOOM physics. So you have slippy-slidey jumps in first person, usually over death pits while being shot by enemies. Then, when you're done with extremely unfun platforming sections, you have to navigate through tedious, maze-like hub areas with unclear objectives so you can do another jumping puzzle.

Can we have a melee-focused first-person action game that looks like Hexen but with different levels, please?

Try King's Field?

I really like King's Field but if he's looking for a game like Hexen, then he's going to be disappointed.

A 4X or grand strategy game that incentivises not growing all planets/settlements to their highest possible level/population.  I want a valid ingame reason to have rural villages or smaller farming colonies instead of every single base becoming a sprawling metropolis.

The only game I can think of that really does this is (the kind of ancient) RTS Warrior Kings.  You had a single walled city that would grow over the course of a level and continue your unit production facilities, commercial building and the like.  Then you could set up additional unwalled villages for basic resource harvesting and farming.  You could throw down a windmill, maypole or church to increase their productivity but that was pretty much it for development.  Nevertheless, founding and protecting these villages was crucial, as their frequent shipments of resources to your city kept the whole war machine pumping and your troops fed.

Star Ruler 2 is a bit like what you're looking for. It is actually impossible to fully develop all of your planets, because worlds with higher tier resources require the combined imports of several lower tier worlds to reach the development level required to exploit those resources. You end up with a handful of valuable, high output metropolis worlds supported by a large number of suppliers, which must be defended lest your centers of power grind to a halt.

Nox 2, Darksiders 3, and a GOOD continuation of the overlord Series of games that isn't a shitty multiplayer party game.

That sounds oddly like real life.

A game where you can use your own heightmaps without modding. Aside from DF and Minecraft

Sim City 4

Cities Skylines.

[Ibid Straydrink]

A survival game like Rust or Ark, with a wide array of primitive tools and constructions, wherein, the challenge was to survive in nature, consistently, throughout the entire game. No MMO grind or seasonal trash events, no overbearing RPG mechanics, and no toxic PvP. And make it more like a roguelike in the respect that you were more likely to die per run through than to get bored of playing and just put the game down.

i got this idea today after watching a small video in youtube about "western RPGs" vs "JRPGs". its a turn based RPG set in a universe where music can be used as a weapon, with 4 factions representing four different types of instruments (Percussion, Wind, String and Electronic as an extra).

each instrument reflects the basic tropes of RPGs, the heavy fighter, the light fighter, the marksman and the mage. each faction has its own set of these but they capitalize in one specific instrument.

the story? im not sure, it could be open world i guess, or have some sort of epic arc related to the origin of music. enemies would represent musical genders that would test the player to different musical configurations i think.

sounds so good i started writing a bit on it. but i guess it will stay on the sketches meanwhile, that, if i can get people to make it.

I really wish there was a strategy game that captured the feel of things like X-Files/Delta Green. You know, you play someone or a team of someones investigating suspected Mythos/Alien/Supernatural activity. You have to keep your investigations secret from the official police forces, and take care of the problem. Something akin to the first hour or two of Dark Corners of the Earth, but without eventually devolving into "Shooter with a Sanity Mechanic".

I can imagine an X-Com 2 style combat system, and Fallout 1/2 style top-down gameplay when not in combat as you go about investigating with your team and their individual stats, and a masquerade system like Vampire has.

Basically I've got an itch to play Delta Green but I'm not into Tabletop Gaming enough to go out and satisfy that itch xD

I want a game where terrain destruction is a major factor for PVP. In Minecraft I have dream scenarios about blowing holes in fortresses, destroying bridges, etc. but in practice those opportunities are rare and usually there's a faster/cheaper alternative.

I want a game where you can level a building that your enemies are inside of. Or maybe you're inside that building and have to deal with fire, collapsed rooms, etc. Or maybe the battle's on a mountainside, and you can blast the ground out from under their feet.

Okay, I'd like a more specific version of this. One of my dreams is Red Faction: Guerrilla. Mostly multiplayer. No pickups, you make your classes a la Battlefield. The entire match takes place in a massive tower, one team spawns on the top floor the other team spawns on the bottom. Fight. Then rebuild the tower and switch spawns. Standard scoring. I mean a BIGASS tower though. Like some WTC1 shit.
