Ask Lemmy

There's a space station sim from 2001 that I still play because I love it so much: Startopia. I'd like Startopia 2 to be pretty much the same as the original (including graphics) but with higher-poly models and better scripting tools for modders.

Would love to see an hbo style show for Dresden files or for Brandon sandersons cosmere. They both have some fantastic potential.

I wouldn't mind a cartoony anime style either similar to Vox Machina

Something new in the Avatar:TLA universe, could be any game/show/movie as long as it has the same writers as the original series. Korra was good but I need more damn it!

Revive Pushing Daisies. That show ended too soon.

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.

Buy the Starfield IP from Bethesda, and remake it with a different engine. And generally improve upon it a lot. The game had a lot of potential to be great, but Bethesda couldn't deliver unfortunately.

KSP 2.
It was mismanaged, underfunded, and understaffed.

I'd scrap the mess they have now, hire an appropriate number of people to work on the game, and give them as much time as they need to get it right.

TF3

Both titanfall and team fortress deserves a new game in the franchise

Ski free 2.

This time, on water.

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.

Resmaster of Mortal Kombat Shaolin Monks. Best Mortal Kombat I ever played.

Any game with almost realistic graphics that is somehow capable of running at 60fps minimum at 1440p on ultra graphics with a simple Intel Graphics Igpu thanks to the power of optimization, in order to let the world know how garbage modern AAA games are.

Eternal Darkness sequel / remake on modern hardware & VR.

A Freddy Fazbear's Pizza restaurant that turns into an escape room after you eat.

Custom Robo as a Gatcha game. (This one prints money)

I'd happily finance another Dredd movie with Garland and Urban working on it.

I’d fund the final three season of The Expanse.

And pay for the Elite Dangerous developers to better support simulators.

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.

KSP rewrite from scratch with a custom engine.

Super stoked about KSA :)

OP didn't ask about music, but I feel like that fits the spirit of the question, so: my absolute favorite genre is Symphonic Metal, but that genre consists of a grand total of like 12 songs, most of which lean way too heavily on screamo howler monkey shit or opera.

If I could magically fund a symphony and get em to just rock out with a bunch of metalheads, 100% that.

Three Body Problem

Snowcrash (book) would lend itself to a pretty fun open world game.

Would.love to see a series starting with Alexander the great. but turning into a game of thrones type deal with the war of the Diodochi.

the intrigue and settings would be amazing

the battles would be great

I would fund a full release of the Divided States, especially if I could fund an entire series of alt history shows.

I'd make a My Summer Car movie.
(In case something like this already exists, let me know.)
