Your Game Pitches

I honestly think a commercial fishing simulator would find an audience, it's basically a business management game and those can do reasonably well.

The Carry On fighter, less so...

I did actually start to write a pitch for a game concept that I frequently ponder when Im lost in reverie, but it ended up being *several paragraphs*, as I went into detail of the systems that I imagine the game having, and realised it was just nonsense.

More ideas for certain types of games rather than full-blown game ideas.

I would like to see a game like Baldur's Gate 2 except that the potential party characters would go on doing their own thing if they were not admitted to the group. Not necessarily something very detailed, but just having a few fixed events - perhaps with the possibility for the player to influence outcomes at certain points - that would only happen if characters were not included in the group or if the player ended up not doing their character quest.

The second idea would be an ARPG, but with the unique items being a big deal in terms of lore. So they would be hand-placed with traders, bosses and in certain areas. There would be information in books, with scholars, traders, adventurers and such. The items would always exist in the world though, no matter if the player has any info on them, so it would be possible to just stumble across them.

And third: An ARPG or RPG where only a few character classes would be available (though perhaps with specializations) that would experience the game very differently based on their background. Having access to certain areas, certain groups being hostile, important dialogue options and/or quests only showing up for certain characters etc.

All of these could theoretically be combined in one game, but that would likely be too much and perhaps not easy to reconcile.

A rap battle game with full speech to text.

An AR skateboard game using GPS RTK to determine the player's location. Rolling fast in unusual locations like school floors, libraries and museums (police stations?) gives extra points.

GTA but with boats in a Chinese floating city.

An eco-terrorist game where you have to sabotage new construction projects and industrial plants and so on. Gameplay like X-Com.

The Sims, but you don't control people. You are actually Satan and have to try to corrupt them and make them swear their souls to you and try to form a satanic cult.

A 4x space game, but you play the universe and have to get rid of the space faring civilizations by strategically combining weather patterns, planetary catastrophes and intergalactic shenanigans.

Babs could have a bra based projectile attack, I think the idea has potential

Pretty certain there is a commercial Fishing Simulator. If it featured Dead Bod and St Andrew's Dock circa '75 I'd be in like Flynn.

Could feature a DLC featuring additional unknown crew member'from a government dept' monitoring radio in waters off Murmansk.


Edit: found the one I was thinking of: store.steampowered.com/app/501080/Fishing_Barents_Sea/

Shame Simulator

A social stealth game where you must avoid people in front of whom you’ve embarrassed yourself - at work, passing the street, at the supermarket when your aisle selection starts to synchronise

Actual Walking Simulator

Death Stranding with all the sci-fi stripped out and a flask of tea instead of a baby in a jar.

You'd hope so, otherwise you'd just be driving in a straight line.

workplace manager 2023

you need to manage and motivate staff to complete work on ever shorter deadlines while the clients expect ever increasing quality. Do you go for a big team of shit cheap people or a small quality team that could get headhunted at any second? Do you stick with accurate quotes or compete on cost to attract work? How do you solve the HR fallout from a Christmas Party?

In honour of The Apprentice returning, I’d like to see Artic Adventure developed into a full game. Now with more penguins.

Crazy 90s words and tubes swirling as you do it too. The more 90s special effects, the closer you are to be the cool hacker dude who listens to Prodigy and bags the unbelievably hot female member of the crew.

Elden Ring - The Essential Collection

Isn't that basically Watchdogs?
