discussion With unlimited ressources - Which H game would you create

[wolfnred999]

I think about this a lot, but for now what comes into my head when I think about it here is a game that is very close to last of us. I'm a huge Sarah Miller fan and I love almost every animator that makes videos of her, so I've always fantasized a Last of Us game world that is closer to a Sim Life Survival gameplay. You could start your journey at any time of the apocalypse and build your current family, like Sims. You could choose your societal status and that could greatly benefit you in the long run, or increase the chances of being robbed or bad events if you were a rich family before the apocalyptic life...

With that, I think the Fallout/Elder Scrolls NPC and Choice system built in would make that game feel more lively. A choices matter, post apocalyptic zombie life sim survival game! With bad events, or if you want a hero play through, you can do that too. I mention my love for Sarah Miller and the animators that has worked with her model because I imagine the in game animations and movies would be a lot like Lesdias, KDE, Selfdrillings and Irispoplar. I've even wanted to try learning Twine and making an HTML game with all of those animations, but out of respect for the animators, I didn't want to cross any of those lines.

Just a bit of scope creep there

More complex games take longer and when you add in multiple art styles onto that you kind of explode the time needed to do anything. Look at Legend of Opala for an example of what happens when you try to go for an open ended game with multiple art styles. Lots of resources can only get you so far when you wind up having to wait on artists.

if you read properly, it said Unlimited resources, not "lots". so if i had Unlimited, i would hire groups with expertise on thing, example, people who can make VN with the storytelling, or a group that makes it with Unity... With Unlimited recourses, sky is the limit. atleast i ain't short minded

If I had an army of devs and unlimited resources I'd have them complete the games that were awesome but abandoned, and after that make them finish all the ones that are stuck in the ridiculously long update cycles lol. Then everyone would be happy

Interesting idea, but wouldn't it require you to deal with other devs to work on their games? I bet it would be unique experience. And if we'll take not only indie games, but others - I heard, that some companies can be shitty to negotiate with (especially big ones).

I was thinking more along the lines of just taking the games from them and finishing it ourselves. If I had a huge (or unlimited) budget I'm sure I could just outright buy most games of the indie devs, I doubt they could say no to life changing amounts of money for a game they don't pay attention to anymore. The companies would probably be the one hold up with all the legalities and copyrights. At that point, I wouldn't even bother lol

Single player open world Vampire game like GTA, but the World of Darkness / White Wolf world, with realistic simulations and endless replayability, daily functions like a cozy game, but biting necks and having sex with mortals and immortals alike. With future expansions based on Werewolf, Mage, Hunter, etc. I want to be able to live there.
