Now that 24 hours have passed we have our winner!

A huge thanks to @[email protected] for suggesting this awesome idea!

A survival crafting game where the tech tree goes backwards. You start in a prepper hole with working water filtration, food sources, etc, and everything is nice. Then something breaks and maybe you fix it. Something else breaks and maybe you fix that. Three things break at once, and at least one of them is going to stay broken. Have to do something more primitive and time consuming.

Eventually, enough things break that it’s no longer sustainable and you die. Game ranks you based on how long you last.

I would also like to thank every person in the comments for making their wonderful suggestions! I've read through every single one of them and all of them are really good!

You can view the game's code at https://github.com/SamLeeway/project-196, which is currently empty at the time of writing this, but every day from now I will contribute code there.

The game currently does not have any name other than "Project 196", so I will probably host a poll when we have at least something playable.

When the game would be playable? Making games ain't easy so it's pretty hard to estimate. I would say in around a week or so I should have a rough prototype if things go right.

Update

Didn't really have much time to work on this this week, so my week estimate is going out of the window. I will not estimate anymore. But I am still working on things, so game will happen. :)

A game that is only perceivable through electric motors on your body

I want a realistic down-to-earth ~~show~~ game that's completely off the wall and swarming with magic robots.

And, also, you should win things by ~~watching~~ playing.

a dark fantasy rpg with gameplay and graphics like ultrakill and ui (especially dialogue ui, without voice acting), modular armor and unique seeting like morrowind. No matter how you do the character creation you need to have a dnd dragonborn/tes argonian style lizard race cause I love them oh also spears :3 oh and skill checks like baldur's gate 3

Add gacha mechanics for unlocking new skins for the avatar, but make the rolls always give players the same copies of the crappiest gear. The twist is that they actually get awesome gear, but it'll only be visible to other players.

5v5 card game MOBA like league of legends mixed with hearthstone/slay the spire.
