The Expanse
Just 3 more seasons to go
The last few books were amazing.
And the conclusion, the ending… chefs kiss. I loved it.
Would love to see them finish it and stay as close to the books as possible. I think they already deviated quite a bit though.
A reboot of Firefly ans Farscape.
Another season of Firefly
EDIT: Or however many seasons it takes to wrap up the story properly. Also, I’ll pay the original actors however much it takes to join the project. And I’ll pay makeup artists and VFX artists however much it takes to make it appear like they haven’t aged.
Maybe Sarah Connor Chronicles as well. That show ended on a cliffhangwr without resolution.
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’d fund the final three season of The Expanse.
And pay for the Elite Dangerous developers to better support simulators.
I’d hate Bezos a little bit less if he greenlit a season or two of the expanse to round off the last 3 books :o
His funding the middle three definitely made me hate him just a little bit less.
At this point I’d be willing to accept a movie of each of the last three books.
Maybe they’re going to wait another 20 years to make sure the actors are appropriately aged for the time skip. Think of the savings on makeup alone
TV limited series adaptations of The Culture novels. Amazon obviously made a start before giving up but they picked absolutely the wrong one to start with.
Yes Consider Phlebus is the first chronologically but a TV series where you have to replace the main character every episode does not work when you are already trying to adapt a very difficult IP. Player of Games is where you want to begin. Clear storyline, no tricky time/universe/world jumps. Spends most of the time in an Earth-esque civilization. If you can successfully adapt PoG then you can try something more challenging like Phlebus or Use of Weapons.Did the (anti)protagonist shape shift that much in Phlebas? And even then would it have been a problem for the series? Money no object after all…
Ok, maybe I’m exaggerating on the “every episode” but you’re still going to need at least three actors to play the main character, plus intermediate appearances as they transform which lasts an episode or more. It’s definitely a significant additional problem that you just don’t have to deal with if you start with one of the other books.
The other challenge if you are thinking about doing multiple books and you start with Phlebas is that the Culture are the baddies. You spend a (most) of a series presenting them as such and then flip.
Regardless of the other difficulties, Amazon can absolutely not be trusted with Consider Phlebus to do anything but make the Culture either the bad guys or ancaps.
I’d buy Magic The Gathering and just make it less greedy
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.
A sequel to Ex Machina - Ava’s experiences in the real world. Caleb has managed to escape, and he’s tracking her.
I’d want to do a series of shows based on the chapters from World War Z
Yeah, I never really got the hate the movie got until I read the book, just seemed like a generic but passable zombie action movie.
Why even buy the rights to the novel if you’re only going to use the title?
THE DARKNESS 3
Blueballed for 15 years.
Kerbal Space Program / Factorio / Stellaris crossover
Key elements would include:
-design a factory/macro-economy to produce aerospace components & weapons similar to Factorio
-using those components, design vehicles that obey real-ish physical laws similar to KSP
-arm those vehicles and use them as units in Real Time Strategy with the option to take First Person control of individual unitsKill 6 billion demons could be agreat show.
Mixed media adaptations of all things Cosmere related and Brandon Sanderson would have full creative control.
Wing commander, Freespace.
Games of this genre are completely dead. I’d love another decent mission based space flight game.
Yeah. I troll through old Wing Commander-like titles for good SteamDeck support every so often, but then I realize that I also want to play with 3 friends.
Whoever gets this done will get my money.
In the meantime, there’s Empty Epsilon which is Star Trek, rather than Wing Commander; and there’s Starlink: Battle For Atlas, which at least has solid local co-op on a docked Nintendo Switch (but is sadly buried in DRM on SteamDeck, while also badly overpriced.)
The guy behind Wing Commander (and my favorite game of all time, Privateer) has a mission based space flight game out next year. You can see the first hour of gameplay here: https://youtu.be/1H-0x4xk2Xk
Keep in mind, cutscenes are in-engine not pre-rendered.
Thank you for the link!
Nah dude. X4 is great. The genre is still niche, but not dead.
Sure, X4 is amazing. But that is multi leveled. Management, etc.
I’m talking about very specific mission based games. No economy. No money.
Have you tried the original Everspace? It’s a roguelike so it’s basically randomised missions. Rebel Galaxy might also scratch the itch but it’s more “naval” in it’s combat - you move on a 2d plane and fire broadsides, rather than dogfighting.
I have played Everspace 2. I enjoyed it.
I’d buy controlling share of all three companies that own Pokemon and change absolutely nothing except fund Game Freak to hire more software talent and give them enough time for an actual development cycle worth a damn.
Yes PLEASE
