What game would you create if you had the skills and experience of a veteran game dev? I.e. John Carmack

I would create a boxing game where you play as different fighters that look like the national animal of the country they're from I.e. Germanys eagle and British lion.

(So basically, Furry Fight Night(

It'd be similar to that PS3/X360 game Facebreaker

If you had such skills and know how, what game would you create? Let me know!

Every monster collector out there tries to reinvent the Pokémon formula, but if I were to create one, it'd be like Digimon World 1: a semi-open world with a vivid sense of wonder and exploration, and fully-fledged pet raising mechanics.

I can't fathom how beating up wild animals, forcefully capturing them, and pitting them against other animals in a government-sanctioned tournament is supposed to evoke a feeling of friendship and adventure.

I just want more in-depth mechanics to raise my magical animal, and more ways to interact with them outside of battles.
