Ask Lemmy

I'd fund Larian to create and release creator tools for custom campaigns for their BG3 engine. Then let the community do its thing. It's not perfect, but it's pretty good for a general D&D video game engine.

I'd also request a sequel/DLC for BG3. Specifically, going to hell in search of a heart...

Another season of Firefly

EDIT: Or however many seasons it takes to wrap up the story properly. Also, I'll pay the original actors however much it takes to join the project. And I'll pay makeup artists and VFX artists however much it takes to make it appear like they haven't aged.

Maybe Sarah Connor Chronicles as well. That show ended on a cliffhangwr without resolution.

Double movie trilogy of Star Craft and Brood War filmed back-to-back so there’s one every year for 6 years.

~~Mumm~~ Vimes: A Discworld Story. As a series planned with a fixed amount of seasons and as close to the books as possible.

A „The forever war“ movie would also be very interesting. Or a „Hyperion“ series.

• Wicked: I did a storyboard for this in college. I absolutely think this should have been an animated movie. And not 3D. Not because it's bad, but I always envisioned the world to be more magical. And I think the animation opportunities would be AMAZING.
• Cats: Also should have been animated, and most of the cast was not picked for their singing ability. I think this could work in either 3D or 2D.
• Fatal Frame: I would love them to get the SH2 treatment. Same story but a bit more polished? And maybe a few glance features? Gosh, I'd be so fucking hype.
• The Hunger Games: Should have been a miniseries in my opinion. It was too much for a movie if you hadn't read the book. So much is internal, but you don't have the time to really infer that because of how fast they have to move.
• Les Miserables Just... You know, maybe give it a second pass...
• Rose of Versailles: I just want a nice remake, but, in late 80's/early 90's anime style. Not too big of a jump from the original style, but I think it would look nice.
• Elizabeth Freeman: When Hamilton came out (which I enjoyed immensely) I was like, "Huh. Rapping slave masters is neat, but any other stories for POC?" I then found out about Ms. Freeman, a woman I had literally never heard of. She sued for her own freedom before the Emancipation Proclamation and fucking won. Give me some songs about that shit. I already knew about the Founding Fathers and their greatness." As catchy as it is, maybe we could have spoken about someone else?
• Erased: Minor nitpick that always bothered me. When you first time see the villain (before you realize they're the villain) they're shown in half shadow. I was like," wouldn't that be funny if that was villain? But they wouldn't be that obvious." i spent the whole show trying to figure out who it was, but it was them. I wish I could have gotten rid of that one frame.
• PTSD Radio: I could see it working like Yami Shibai. I think it would be neat!
• Kuon: Remake, please and then you.

Recreate Vagrant Story.

The focus would be on graphics and implementing a fast way of changing weapons and armor.

Sonic Adventure 3 with Chao Garden

A roguelike deck builder but with real time combat similar to Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories

Black and White 3

Knights of the Old Republic 3

There's an FPS game called Darkest of Days I remember kinda liking, where you're a time-travelling soldier who's trying to put history on the right path.

But basically all of the game's levels are centered around WW1 and the American civil war. If I had the means, I'd remake this game from the ground up, give it a more varied story that does the concept justice.

I’d do a film version of the Illuminatus! Trilogy across 5 films, and make it feel as epic as the Odyssey or Ben Hur… really old school.

Fire Emblem Three Houses as an anime with several 'filler' episodes with support conversations or new interactions between characters, really show what living through part 1 is like, 4 separate series for each route idk

I'd give the guy who made Wazhack a bunch of money. I like his take on nethack

A sequel to Blood Wake or at least a spiritual successor.

Not many people know about this game but I feel it would do somewhat well with online multiplayer. I was in it for the single player story. I’m still intrigued by the world they created.

A book accurate Dark Tower series. I would love to see the Gunslinger in action.

In 2011, there was a lightly steam-punk (Davinci-punk?) Three Musketeers movie with a villanous Orlando Bloom that set up for a sequel. We never got that sequel because only I liked it. It was, by no means, high art. I just like Alexander Dumas.

Ian M Banks entire culture series.

I think I'd just go with a lot of the obvious game choice adaptations - the big issues with anything done now are making something mainstream and having writers/directors not interested in the source material. If there's no money involved and they can just be passion projects then some abject failures can be revisited.

I'd love to see an Assassins Creed series properly adapted. A Prey movie. Cyberpunk 2077 series, Metro - hell even a completely batshit Atomic Heart movie. Just things which are gritty when they're gritty, and a lot of fun when they're supposed to be stupid, but faithful to the source is what's important as that's what the fans want to see.

Uniracers 2

Personally I'd love to recreate The Walking Dead but I'd want it made much more realistic, slow paced and with less pointless action scenes. I'd want the zombies being the only unrealistic thing on the entire show. It would focus much more on the survival aspect of the zombie apocalypse. It would show things like loot-runs and base building in much greater detail. Instead of the flashy highlights it would be more about the mundane life in the apocalypse. There would be entire episodes where "nothing" happens.

I imagine it would be an extremely boring show for the vast majority of people, but the tiny niche audience of zombie fanatics like myself would absolutely love it. I'd let other people watch it for free (because why not) but it would be made entirely according to my personal preferences with no regard for how it would be received by others.

Does anyone remember "Advent Rising" back from the first Xbox and windows live? That was supposed to be a trilogy but was canned after the first game. I'd love to see that remade and continued!

AAA Yoko Taro's game.

Wing commander, Freespace.

Games of this genre are completely dead. I'd love another decent mission based space flight game.

Give the original disco elysium team a blank check to do anything they want.

Doesn't need to be a game, books, art, whatever. That team was lightning in a bottle.

I'd make Eragon as a series, but actually good this time. I like the universe.

An X-Wing and TIE Fighter remake. Yeah, there's the TFTC, but the X-Wing Alliance engine is pretty dated as well. And who knows how far along XWVM is. Why do none of these projects ever get developed as open source?
