    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.

    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?

      Did you play Squadrons? Wish it had been supported longer, but a great successor. Jade Raymond supposedly spearheaded it for love of the old games.

        Yeah, I liked it. But I hate the slick story and the missions are a bit too cinematic for my taste. In TIE Fighter it felt more like a routine job that coincidentally got more exciting with every mission.

      I don’t know if the Culture is filmable? Having said that I think they said the same of things like Dune so maybe?

        I’d still like to throw infinite amounts of money at it to find out.

        But yeah. If it was filmable, someone would have had a half-hearted stab by now.

          Apple tried to adapt Asimov’s Foundation with mixed results. I think something small and approachable like Player of Games or Consider Phlebas does for a nice action flick with philosophical underpinnings if taken by a good screewriter.

        Not a clue. The only VR I have is PS4 and I’m not a huge fan of VR games. I just loved Black & White and since it’s pov was already that of a god, it just seemed like it would have been perfect to adapt. Plus, I think third person VR would probably get around all the weird nausea issues.

    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.

        Project Zomboid is by far the best zombie survival game out there, especially playing with friends.

        Yeah, it could follow several different characters including some that had been prepairing for it as well as ones that hadn’t and give an realistic representation of the things that really matter. Though I stopped watching the Last of Us, I really liked the basebuilding in the episode with Nick Offerman. I could watch multiple seasons of just that too.

    I’d like to see a foss micro kernal GNUHurd become as mature as linux.

    I’d like a serious focus on linux distro and kernel security so I’d fund research and development on those areas.

      me too. I would also make the dark tower series, but I would make sure it was accurate! no politically correctness. All the ugly stuff and an accurate Odetta

      Glad to see some love for Sarah Connor Chronicles. Very underrated.

      The showrunners said the next season was going to be some It’s a Wonderful Life type story, where John sees how the future could turn out without him.

      Yes. Do a “Southpark” Eric Cartman. Make 5 seasons of Firefly and let know one see it.

      Rumors will fly. Anticipation will build.

      Lets a small numer of people see parts. Allow the rich to bribe me for access. Pay for other projects with the money. Charge enough that people only dpeak glowingly about it.

      Release the whole thing for free.

    I think I’d just go with a lot of the obvious game choice adaptations - the big issues with anything done now are making something mainstream and having writers/directors not interested in the source material. If there’s no money involved and they can just be passion projects then some abject failures can be revisited.

    I’d love to see an Assassins Creed series properly adapted. A Prey movie. Cyberpunk 2077 series, Metro - hell even a completely batshit Atomic Heart movie. Just things which are gritty when they’re gritty, and a lot of fun when they’re supposed to be stupid, but faithful to the source is what’s important as that’s what the fans want to see.

    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.

    Does anyone remember “Advent Rising” back from the first Xbox and windows live? That was supposed to be a trilogy but was canned after the first game. I’d love to see that remade and continued!
