Space RTS game. I freakin' love RTS games and I think the sci-fi genre is plain awesome.

Would be best if it'd be a blend of 3D and 2D, graphics aren't that important, the simulation however is.
 
Space RTS game for me. Based on Freespace game.

You set up colonies and such , fight the Vasudans until (some turn or random) the Shivans come, fight and bla bla. Develop ships and design stations, research new weapons to fight your adversaries.

That's what I would like :smile:.
 
Survival and adventure in a world on fire. (Literally. The entire surface of the world is on fire and the only habitable places are underground or in low orbit)
 
I've always wondered why no one made (or at least, I haven't seen) a battle/war simulator with realistic numbers. Like, tens of thousands of combatants. I've only ever seen scaled-down numbers like in Total War games, or glorified spreadsheets with abstract numbers and dice rolls. The camera doesn't even have to be zoomable, just a bird's eye view and having the feel of a truly colossal struggle going on would be great. And with integrated 'battle' and 'strategy' modes.

Probably not a feasible idea if you're a one-man dev, but hey, you did ask for vomit.
 
Imagine a globe that you can right click and move around.On this globe are two distinctly neon coloured dots. It's sort of like an RTS but you will have no direct control over the individual units, instead giving general orders to vast sections of these dots as they wage their terrible wars against one another. As you imagine, pushing in one direction would make the flanks lower in your dots, leading to you being vulnerable to flanking maneuvers.

Positioning of strongholds, trenchlines, and artillery lines will be of strategic importance, you'll just have to leave the tactics up to our fellow dots.
