The Expanse

Just 3 more seasons to go

A reboot of Firefly ans Farscape.

I’d fund the final three season of The Expanse.

And pay for the Elite Dangerous developers to better support simulators.

Another season of Firefly

EDIT: Or however many seasons it takes to wrap up the story properly. Also, I'll pay the original actors however much it takes to join the project. And I'll pay makeup artists and VFX artists however much it takes to make it appear like they haven't aged.

Maybe Sarah Connor Chronicles as well. That show ended on a cliffhangwr without resolution.

Stargate SG-1.

Not Atlantis, with their star trek uniforms. Not Universe with their angst and jeans.

Hard, military professionals jaunting through wormholes into alien words they don't comprehend and won't really try to, fucking up local politics and delicate galactic power balances alike in their incessant hunt for really big fucking guns, and Baal clones.

I'd want to do a series of shows based on the chapters from World War Z

A sequel to Ex Machina - Ava's experiences in the real world. Caleb has managed to escape, and he's tracking her.

post-mortem internet hero

Give the original disco elysium team a blank check to do anything they want.

Doesn't need to be a game, books, art, whatever. That team was lightning in a bottle.

Kerbal Space Program / Factorio / Stellaris crossover

Key elements would include:
-design a factory/macro-economy to produce aerospace components & weapons similar to Factorio
-using those components, design vehicles that obey real-ish physical laws similar to KSP
-arm those vehicles and use them as units in Real Time Strategy with the option to take First Person control of individual units

I'd buy controlling share of all three companies that own Pokemon and change absolutely nothing except fund Game Freak to hire more software talent and give them enough time for an actual development cycle worth a damn.

I'd buy Magic The Gathering and just make it less greedy

TV limited series adaptations of The Culture novels. Amazon obviously made a start before giving up but they picked absolutely the wrong one to start with.
Yes Consider Phlebus is the first chronologically but a TV series where you have to replace the main character every episode does not work when you are already trying to adapt a very difficult IP. Player of Games is where you want to begin. Clear storyline, no tricky time/universe/world jumps. Spends most of the time in an Earth-esque civilization. If you can successfully adapt PoG then you can try something more challenging like Phlebus or Use of Weapons.

I'd fund Larian to create and release creator tools for custom campaigns for their BG3 engine. Then let the community do its thing. It's not perfect, but it's pretty good for a general D&D video game engine.

I'd also request a sequel/DLC for BG3. Specifically, going to hell in search of a heart...

Wing commander, Freespace.

Games of this genre are completely dead. I'd love another decent mission based space flight game.

THE DARKNESS 3

Blueballed for 15 years.

An X-Wing and TIE Fighter remake. Yeah, there's the TFTC, but the X-Wing Alliance engine is pretty dated as well. And who knows how far along XWVM is. Why do none of these projects ever get developed as open source?

Ringworld and its sequels The Ringworld Engineers, Ringworld's Children, and the Ringworld Throne, with some less-dated attitudes. I mean I'm not totally opposed to rishathra as a concept, but just a few tweaks here and there to catch up with modern attitudes.

If money really wasn't an issue, the entire "Known Space" series. A chance for some really good CGI with Pierson's Puppeteers, Kzin, and all the specialised post-human races living on the Ringworld. And Thrint, Slavers, Outsiders, and so on.

Then there's the first-contact "The Mote in God's Eye" and its sequel "The Mote in Murchison's Eye" AKA "The Gripping Hand". Another opportunity for some interesting three-armed CGI aliens.

Oh, and "Footfall" - an alien invasion story. These aliens look somewhat like baby elephants 😲

Mixed media adaptations of all things Cosmere related and Brandon Sanderson would have full creative control.

Fix up The Hobbit into 2 movies, with more practical effects, or at least more subtle cgi.

Farscape.

Modern visuals, Muppets, a team of good writers and the core cast returning could be really good. Black and Browder wouldn't be too old yet to make the characters work.

That chaotic universe could provide so many posibilities to explore if done right.

GNU Theft Auto

I'd fund A quality Fantasy MMO rpg so it wouldn't ever have micro transactions and would also scrub all guides about it from the internet in an attempt to bring back community based progression instead of 'why no meta bro?'

Yes

LEGO Avatar the Last Airbender

Two games should be made into movies -

Interstate 76

Full throttle

Probably dating myself with those suggestions. Another wildcard game that should be made into a movie - MechWarrior - whatever version.

Kill 6 billion demons could be agreat show.

Ian M Banks entire culture series.

Personally I'd love to recreate The Walking Dead but I'd want it made much more realistic, slow paced and with less pointless action scenes. I'd want the zombies being the only unrealistic thing on the entire show. It would focus much more on the survival aspect of the zombie apocalypse. It would show things like loot-runs and base building in much greater detail. Instead of the flashy highlights it would be more about the mundane life in the apocalypse. There would be entire episodes where "nothing" happens.

I imagine it would be an extremely boring show for the vast majority of people, but the tiny niche audience of zombie fanatics like myself would absolutely love it. I'd let other people watch it for free (because why not) but it would be made entirely according to my personal preferences with no regard for how it would be received by others.

An open world TMNT game based on the original 90’s movie. It was dark and gritty and the perfect playground to fight the foot from the shadows.

More sense8. I enjoyed it but I fear it was too queer for genpop.

There's a space station sim from 2001 that I still play because I love it so much: Startopia. I'd like Startopia 2 to be pretty much the same as the original (including graphics) but with higher-poly models and better scripting tools for modders.

Yeah, I would buy the rights to Kerbal Space Program and Dungeons and Dragons and just make it all free and make the KSP2 we all deserved. Then I'd fund a professional SCP cinematic universe, it basically has to be free because it's a licensing mess of community creations but there are so many stories in it worthy of being part of a high budget serialized cinematic universe.

If moneys truly no object, then buy the Fallout IP, build a new engine with a creation kit that all actually works and is made with ease and stability of modding in mind and then make a high fantasy game with the same engine and let people go nuts. Downvote me if you want but I don't think TES is inherently a good enough fantasy IP (the games have always been better than the central unique overarching plot) to be worth not just starting something new, or better yet, tie it in with the D&D IP I bought earlier.

Kerbal space program 2 with multiplayer.

Kitten Space Agency was just announced with a lot of former KSP folks, but still super early and not sure if they'll make it to the finish line

I would acquire the rights to Tales From The Afternow by Sean Kennedy(The Fucking Man!)

Make a proper hbo quality(westworld level of production) out of it.

Then pay the author to write something that could be turned into a trilogy based on it, but set a thousand years forward.

And create a video game series using the main charqcters various life extensions set between the original series and the new trililogy, where hes on the same space ship but its like the outerlimits and you never know if the next episode is a continuation or a different era because the ship, much like in red dwarf, is essentially an immortal unchanging character

Baten Kaitos 3.

It's a jrpg series. The twist was that it had pseudo-"deck building" turn-based combat where on your turn your had to complete runs within a time limit to attack.

They released the first game, then did a prequel. The prequel improved on the first game massively, but you could tell they didn't have as much budget.

A third game was planned but never completed. They recently released an HD remaster of the first two games which gives me a little hope, but the series has been overshadowed by the team's current breadwinner, Xenoblade Chronicles (Shulk from SSBU).

A more surrealist mashup of the SCP Universe, Alan Wake and Control. Im in love with those.
