Probably something like this. (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=11912568&postcount=6)

Though seriously, I honestly have no idea what kind of game I would develop. Maybe a political simulator like this one with a lot more features, or maybe some kind of bizarro RTS game.

Well, I am in the process of making a few games, using the beloved RPG makers. I made an NSG one at one time, and it had PM and His lady as the main characters. It was cool, but i lost it somewhere at sometime :(

Right now I am making one about restraunt life, working as an associate in the fast food place, fighting customers, health officials, and managers. :D

I have another one in writing about the typical RPG type of game...you know..save the world from a dictator, then end up saving the universe from an evil type of God or whatever. :)

maybe medieval 2: total war, but with good AI and some added features (like more interesting economics, historical accuracy, more factions, more units, a techt tree folder in the game's box etc.). i think i'd also lower some of the graphics to make it playable on non-super-computers.

1)If you could make your own videogame what would it be like?
A school shooter.

2)What special effects would it have?
Blood and gore.

3)What game (make one up_ would you think would be popular with the masses if it were made?
Revenge.

4)Details on the game?
Think the first Rainbow6 for gameplay only you'd have to kill certain targets and let others live based on how they treated you then go out guns a blazin' against the cops. Throw in an editor so people could make a map and mission of their own school and play it withtheir friends.

On nerdy threads like this one detail is your friend. ;)

A MMORPG called Boxcar! where you play a Depression era hobo ridin' the rails and looking for a safe warm place to bed down while developing your hoboin' skills like harmonica and shankin'. You don't 'fight' anything other than the occasional other hobo or jumping some unattentive 'normal' person, it's all about what you can finagle out situations until you become a hoboin' legend and either break out or become hobo royality.

Grab your stick, your sack, and your knife made from a tin can and hit the rails!

It would be a first-person insect simulator. Kind of like "SimAnt," only with a bunch of different insects you can choose, each one closely modelled on real insect societies. The flying part would be especially cool, since you could annoy (and bite) big flailing humans, or get squished by car windshields, eaten by other insects, etc.

There would be an offline version as well as a MMORPG.

2)What special effects would it have?

Splat! Squish! Buzz!

I've played a game like that. Frustrating as hell. It was set in a generic Banana Republic, and if you ignored any one political party (Communists, Christian moderates, Capitalists) too much, instant coup.

How about one where you drive safely, obeying all the rules of the road, then show up to work on time, do a bunch of meaningless paperwork, then drive home and try to find something interesting on TV? You could spend years playing that.

I would put THE game into digital form.

that way, whenever you bring up the list of program files on your computer, you automatically loose! BWUHAHAHAHAH!

(BTW: YOU ALL JUST LOST :P)
