This is a thread to share those dream games that you find yourself thinking about and lament that they will probably never be made, and then cry yourself to sleep about them nightly....or you know, something similar.
Anyway to start things off, my game is very roguelike inspired. A Dungeon crawler, with a central hub town connected to a deep, randomized, underground dungeon that the player tries to make it further and further into with every attempt for better loot and eventually to find the final floor. Basically if anyone has played Azure Dreams or similar games, they know what I'm talking about.
I know what you're thinking "uh there are tons of those, your dreams, are bad." Where this game would set itself apart would be its use of Mech suits that the main characters would pilot into the dungeon. I think mech based RPGs are a criminally underused concept in games, the only series I can think of that has used it to nearly perfection is the Front Mission series, (we do not speak of the abomination that was recently brought to us...). I personally just love the idea of diving into a dungeon and coming back out with various parts to customise my team of mechs with different weapons, parts, upgrades, maybe even rockets and ammo.
I've even written some very basic plot outlines while bored on my lunch at at work, but I shan't bore you with those. So how about you guys? Do you have any games you've thought of that if brought to life your gaming life would feel complete?
