Now that 24 hours have passed we have our winner!

A huge thanks to @frezik@midwest.social 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. :)

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

All I want is a game that doesn't feel like a game. As in no invisible walls, no repetitive game mechanics, no duplicate assets, and unpredictable AI, for starters. Such a game has yet to exist.

I have a better idea but I won't tell you, so, a racing game that has the Minecraft ice boating mechanics

A platformer where the characters have powers based on every fetish ever. All of them.

bg1-2 type game but based on the cyberpunk 2020 system

Fetch with your dog simulator.

A first person game where you throw a ball for an AI controlled dog. You get a score based on how well the dog can catch the ball, assessing things like distance, on the full, and whether the dog catches the ball in the air.

Areas are things like a backyard, a dog park, and wherever else. You could make one dog and add other breeds if you want to continue the project
