Free Game/Hack Ideas

[RT-55J]

It's like the Brain Garbage thread, but for game ideas!

Never gonna make your game idea? That's fine.

Your idea is exceptionally cursed? All the more reason to post it!


Symphony of the Night (PS1) is the sequel to Rondo of Blood (PCE-CD).

What if it was developed as the sequel to the SNES Dracula X instead?

Peasant's Quest SGI Remake

Related, but I think it would be very funny for some dork to port a Sierra game to SCUMM and a LucasArts game to AGI/SGI. Definitely a very sane thing to do, and a very reasonable use of one's time.

Peasant's Quest SGI Remake

aw shucks, the engine is actually called SCI, meaning Sierra Creative Interpreter. I got that confused because Sierra's previous engine was called AGI, which means Adventure Game Interpreter. We regret the error and will strive to do better in the future.

Note: Persons on this forum who use AGI to refer to "Artificial General Intelligence" will be launched towards the nearest solar mass. Thank you for your cooperation.

So Little City -- a riff on MST's venerable "So Little" series of Super Metroid hacks, except it takes place in Salt Lake City. Like Tour of Italy, upgrades would be named after local cuisine and stuff, like funeral potatoes, fry sauce, and, uh... jello.

[neen]

wow, they have jello?

[RT-55J]

yeah. it's called the "jello belt" for a reason (i have no idea if this is a stale meme or still relevant there)

now that i think about it, having the jello be a liquid that you bounce off of would be really silly and fun (i think sonic mania has a gimmick like this)
