Ask Lemmy

Maybe a slightly different take but… I always thought the Queensrÿche album Operation: Mindcrime could have been an interesting movie.

I’d probably try to get that made/fund that as a project.

Metal Gear Cobra: The Joy

The story of how the unit came to be Heroes in WWII, and especially the Normandy event for them. I want to see The Joy's story earlier. Potentially allow replaying as each member of the team.

A sequel could be training Snake amd doing missions with him in the 50's, ending with the flight to space.

Alternatively, tell the story of Raiden saving Sunny.

I'd fund a tv series about Rendevouz with Rama -book series. Yes, the whole series, even the crappy, goofy books not written by Clarke. Though I'd probably try to tone down the incest that goes on in some of those sequels.

I'm addicted to urban fantasy right now so I definitely wish we could get another swing at The Secret World. I love hidden world things like a second society of cryptids beneath the mundane and I've been inlove with the setting for forever.

I know the devs were talking about a tv series but... nothing.

I've also always wanted to do a band of brothers style series but from a star wars' perspective where half the series is in the eyes of rebels and the other half in the eyes of the empire. But to slowly build up more gray morality - like the rebel soldiers have to struggle with committing acts that cause civilian casualties to push their objective. Or the stormtroopers slowly being broken from the imperial cult but still loyal to the concept of what it means for order.

Or like.. a band of brothers style series of a platoon of imperial guardsman in 40k. Just guys struggling to survive demons, aliens, and killer robots.

Animated series for one of my favorite novels: Worm

It should be a long running series, with focus on the characters and the superhero society as a whole.

Arcane level animation would be nice

Modern remake of Ultima underworld

movie: any muppet movie

series: zefrank's true facts, numberphile, myths and legends podcast

video game: so far larian studios, but there's a lot of small pubs and indie devs that are great as well

Manga-accurate Anime of Berserk fully hand drawn and without clang sounds for swords

Who wouldn’t?

I’d do a film version of the Illuminatus! Trilogy across 5 films, and make it feel as epic as the Odyssey or Ben Hur… really old school.

I'd give the guy who made Wazhack a bunch of money. I like his take on nethack

Yes, an rpg vector based video game to play in the browser. Actually trying to rearrange my life so I can make it :)

I'm sure there is, but they're unknown to me. I'm not going to fund stuff already owned and made and has a bunch of sequels and spinoffs. I'm going to find and fund something new, something that the other people with money aren't taking a risk on.

Maybe Rogue System, if I am remembering the name right. It had a Kickstarter that failed to meet the minimum, but God damn it sounds like a bad ass idea. A space sim where you would have to actually re-route power through other systems when the normal link has been damage and basically all the stupid little jargon ideas they do to solve things in Star Trek would be mechanics in the game. If you wanted. It would have had settings for so much shit to make it as arcadey or as realistic as you wanted.

Ambitious as hell, but the developer had videos actually showing off some of the mechanics in action and it was as good as I imagined it could be and I'm still kinda upset that its Kickstarter failed.

A great game that uses time traveling as a key gameplay and plot device.

I would buy WOTC and gift it to Larian to make bg4

Immortal gates of pyre.

a bunch of the best starcraft II modders got together and made a spiritual successor to sc2 with books upon books of lore, entire functioning languages, an incredible UX, the best rts gameplay i've ever experienced, and all they need is fucking funding. ugh.

Buy the Starfield IP from Bethesda, and remake it with a different engine. And generally improve upon it a lot. The game had a lot of potential to be great, but Bethesda couldn't deliver unfortunately.

Any game with almost realistic graphics that is somehow capable of running at 60fps minimum at 1440p on ultra graphics with a simple Intel Graphics Igpu thanks to the power of optimization, in order to let the world know how garbage modern AAA games are.

Eternal Darkness sequel / remake on modern hardware & VR.

A Freddy Fazbear's Pizza restaurant that turns into an escape room after you eat.

Custom Robo as a Gatcha game. (This one prints money)

I'd make a My Summer Car movie.
(In case something like this already exists, let me know.)
