A classic first-person dungeon crawler, but co-op and with a classless skill-based system.

Games like Ultima Underworld, Arena, Daggerfall, Descent to Undermountain, Battlespire, Arx Fatalis... those games are my jam, and they have basically died off. My favorite RPG systems also tend to be skill-based rather than class-based, and Asheron's Call (the original) had one of my favorite systems. I'm also all about co-op these days... so I want a co-op dungeon crawler with a skill-based system that looks and feels modern, like a natural evolution of those classics. And it has to be more than a hack-and-slash... it needs to have the depth and immersion of tabletop dungeon crawlers.

I've actually been working on it for a while now in UE. It's purely a hobby/passion project, so who knows if I'll ever have something to distribute... but since nobody else has been bothered to make it*, I will.

• Barony is closest, but it's too deliberately old-school for my tastes... and Dark & Darker is a little too repetitive and undermined by the PvP.

Either a proper sequel to Chu-Chu Rocket that isn't that Duckmarines or the one exclusive to apple, or a modern Vib-Ribbon inspired game where I can pause without having to quit my session.

I especially want the Vib-Ribbon one so I can just have the game scan my music folder on my desktop and create custom tracks without me having to do anything.

Superhot with level editor

dark souls 2 but good

A sort of real time game that starts in third person, as a single character, and expands over time to a whole village. Set in a post apocalyptic world, where you wake up after the apocalypse and have to survive, eventually meeting other survivors and either fight them off or band together to form societies. Each person modelled like an rpg character, with skills sets and capabilities (electrician, plumber, computer geek, radio amateur, farmer and all the other things that make a self-sufficient village). It would need to model the dynamics of politics and how society was governed and the run-ins with other villages and roving bands of survivors.

A sort of mini civilisation but themed around rebuilding capability rather than discovering it.

A soulslike with strong plot and rpg elements that's not an action game that you need to dodge sometimes.

A demolition derby game like wreckfest but without the racing. Leveling, gear, competitions are all focused on destroying other cars and being last one standing.

Bonus if some shenanigans are allowed like you get out of your car and fight other drivers.

An actual follow-up to Tribes 2.

All the sequels (Vengeance and Ascend) pale in comparison, and the rumored sequel (Deadzone) is all hype and vaporware at the moment.

Something like Retro Game Challenge, but for Western games. The idea behind Retro Game Challenge is that you play clones of NES games with achievement challenges to "advance" the story, as clones of games in the style of later NES games would come out. It had clones of games like Ninja Gaiden, Galaga, Dragon Quest. It also had game magazines written much like those of the time. The whole thing is a nostalgia trip.

In this case, it probably would have to be PC games. It could even have a cute minigame where you unbox and drop in your first 3D card.

Closest thing I've seen to it has been Arcade Paradise, but the games (along with the rest of the gameplay) weren't as good in that one. They also weren't all retro-inspired, as there's clones of match-3 games and Vampire Survivors.

More arcade style multiplayer hack and slash RPG stuff in the spirit of gauntlet dark legacy or even something that stretches the concept like Armada 2 and makes it a space-based drop-in drop out multiplayer free-for-all frenzy that's just for fun.

Star Wars Clone Wars, but CoD mobile style.
