Hello, I would like some feedback on what system I should make and publish next. I'd also like a nice public platform here for people to scream at me about getting it done because I have a bad habit of getting 70% done and then moving on to another project.

Maze
A game about being a lab rat, inspired by things like the Secret of NIMH and The mouse utopia experiments. Play as mice and rats trapped in bizarre and incomprehensible situations! Try to survive each test! Gain powers or detrimental mutations via the capricious hand of the unknowable beings called "Scientists" and live on through your offspring. Maybe even escape someday. Maybe.

[Unnamed Racing game]

Inspired in equal parts by Fury Road and Red Line, a game about over the top battle racing. Broken into two distinct parts: the build up to the race and the race itself.

Revolver: Blood and Neon
This ruleset exists already and can be found here
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1D5XCel0CXE_0INdY3rW4NHK8Q07e-hXWU6avkO9zF88/edit?usp=sharing
Basically, it just needs to be overhauled so someone other than me can run it. Maps, enemy examples, various things.

Ouroboropolis
A second shot at turning this setting into a playable game. This time without lego limb feature creep! IF you don't know what Ouro is, look up "Tokyo Souls" and thats kind of a loose approximation.

The Glowing King
Wild West pulp post nuclear setting (think New Vegas) crossed with Afro Samurai style quest to reach the Throne and become the glowing king. Some setting stuff done already, many years ago. Before Nuclear throne came out, I'll have you know.

Poison
A game about doing drugs to gain superpowers and visit other worlds. The drugs let you survive the things you've gotten into, but they're also slowly killing you. Find a way out. Think Yume Nikki but with more mutation and chance of horrible death.


Bathysphere

Deep sea exploration and salvage! Steal treasures from the deep, keep your salvage company from going bankrupt, don't get consumed by the horrors below.

Battle Royale
More a challenge to myself than anything. Figure out a way to translate that increasingly popular trope of the large scale island battle royale into a playable game without it being terrible or clunky or slow.

Colossal
The elder gods have come to earth. Go stab them in the eye.  Built around my attempts to turn the Shadow of the Colossus style tiny fighter vs various levels of giant enemy into a workable game.

Mainspring

The world has been overrun by a fleshhorror known as the Wyrm. It has transformed the land to flesh and spawns monsters of horrible proportion and form. Mankind makes their living in floating cities, manipulating flesh and hunting the monsters for the rare and strange materials in them.

Heavy
A game about piloting mechs with mechanical focus on making the mechs feel like something you're piloting rather than just another character you play as. Ever seen  Armored Trooper VOTOMS?

WWII in Space
The Last Jedi started with bombers dropping bombs in space. And at that point I said fuck it; I want to see them go whole hog. Rocket powered b-29 bombers with FTL drives doing bombing runs on space harbors and their space aircraft carriers. Laser Machine guns. Space Nazis. Fuck it.

CULT

A game about trying to obtain otherworldly knowledge and bring your particular god into the waking world while also not being arrested, shot, driven mad, or generally harassed by all the annoying normies who don't want their faces eaten by elder things. Makes use of major arcana and unconventional mechanics.

Tactical Breach Wizards
Its this: www.pentadact.com/2018-02-02-pitch-tactical-breach-wizards/ but as a table top game. I put this here to mess with Sy.


I'll update this with more as I think of more.  Ask questions or generally scream at me below

...As for me, there's no contest. Mainspring. I remember the rules for designing your own airship, too. ;D

When I saw the title my first thought was "Oh, piecewise is running a Dragon Ball game now?"

I can imagine a staff wielding mage, replacing the crystal tip with another crystal (which makes a synonymous 'charging' or reloading sound [much like a controlled release of gaseous pressure]), and then pointing it at a door to blast it open.


Tactical Breach Wizards
WWII in Space

And, um, I guess this is good enough!

Mainspring, Cult, Collosal are all good.

Ouroboropolis is my fave of the list though, even without simplifying it.

I still like the one you had offered back when you were first developing Oro, about the little creatures whose stats were all in their limbs and stuff.

In any case it would be a battle of critical thinking and I refuse to fight an unarmed individual.

I would love to see a tabletop version of Battle Royale.

Immortality like that would be even more game breaking than four Aaron's in one place.
You're both so obviously scum that this is a surprisingly difficult decision.

Is this exclusively about what system you'll make and publish, or is this also to gauge interest for the next game you'd run yourself on bay12?
