2-man character.
Two players control the same character and have the option of working together to fight against other groups of players or to solve puzzles for a moderate reward OR to jettison their control of the character just before suiciding spectacularly for even more points.
Sort of like the prisoner's dilemma, but in a video game, and you have no way of knowing if the random person you're matched with is intending to work things out or if they're going for the kill, and the difficulty in working together with the same set of controls means you can't entirely be sure, either.

Initially, yes, that's how it'd probably look, but teams would emerge who can actually do their jobs and approach and start killing other teams. It'd be like watching hundreds of dish wash up on shore, and seeing which learn to walk.

Cryptid hunting game. Like those hu ting games you see in arcades. But you hunt cryptids.
Wait, I have seen this, but it was extremely shitty and I'm pretty sure it only had the Rake.
>>338484495
Discovery sandbox action game. A few games have skated around the idea (Prototype among them) but none have really nailed it.
Basically, the idea is that the player character has an immense array of incredible powers available to him right at the start, but the game doesn't teach him how to use any of them. They all have unique properties that can be used to clear certain obstacles, harm certain enemies, solve puzzles, etc., but the game never explains to the player how they work, what their properties are, or even how to execute them.
The core gameplay is like an inverse of a standard action game, where you start weak and gradually build up new powers after you've mastered your old ones; the game demands that you fuck around in the sandbox in a methodical experimental fashion, slowly sussing out how the mechanics of the game work and how they can be used to progress.
Another pitch, Secretly a Horror Game
Frog-Fractions style game, where there's a fully functional and complete game, but there's also a secondary horror game lurking behind the veil. Players who explore too far will start to discover a dark and broken world lurking behind/underneath the surface game.
I guess The Talos Principle also sort of did this, in a way, but it didn't really commit to the idea of the horrible broken god machinery being completely ancillary to the main game (in fact it sort of beat you over the head with it)

Racing RPG
You win races to get experience points for your car, and you can spend level up points on different car attribute points on wheels, headlights (to blind other racers), and engine power. You can spend credits in the racing item shop to buy racing armor for your driver waifu and there are dungeons you have to race in to get to the final car boss. Secret shortcuts give you the opportunity to fight supercars in brutally long endurance fight races that drop endgame racing parts if you win.

There is a beer simulator in the works. But I don't know if you get hunted.
>>338489439
I envision lots of them being that way.
An example: you can glide, but only by jumping, crouching in air, then pressing forward+jump as you release crouch (for an anim sequence of balling up and lunging forward in midair).
The sort of thing you might accidentally do one time while wailing on the buttons but could almost never stumble upon. You'd have to realize that crouching in-air balls you up and alters input functions... Then experiment with inputs to figure out that you can glide if you do certain things just-so.

Sonic All-stars Racing Transformed... I'm pretty sure vehicles had upgradeable stats and abilities, and I know that there was an "overworld" and which races you picked led you down a branching path of alternate races and such.
Also Diddy Kong Racing had racing "boss fights", side quests, etc... no upgrades though.
>>338489836
MOBAs are probably the only entire genre being invented recently. Most evolve rather than straight out get invented, though. Even something like Minecraft is sort of an amalgamation of things like Harvest Moon and sandbox games, with building elements thrown in.
HIUSP
>>338484795
Fucking newfags.
>>338490060
Even MOBAs aren't strictly invented, they're basically "PvP RPGs", where the whole core loop of "grind + sidequest + upgrade + advance" is turned into a head-to-head competition.
They're the natural progression of speedrunning and other things where people find ways to "compete" in games not meant to be competitive. Someone essentially cooked the idea of "who can dominate an RPG the fastest" down into an actual head-to-head contest and the whole thing evolved from there into the lane-based balancing act it is today.

MOBAs and Sandboxes are the fairly 'recent' genre, but they are in no way new or the first.
MOBAs are pretty much RTS / Tower Defense game where you control the Hero alone, instead of the whole battalion of armies, also, teamwork.
Minecraft is no way the first sandbox, survival, creative builder with dynamic world. But it does refine the gnere and pioneered it into what we're used to today.
The voxel engine, the lego-like 100% interactive world, deep crafting system and inifinitely creative gameplay made it standout.
Both are amalgamation / refined mechanics from other genre.

Is shotacon a new genre for videogames?
Silent Hill simulator. Like Evil Genius or Tropico or Dungeon Keeper, but you manage an evil isolated town. You need to balance keeping the locals happy and not just killing each other, keeping a steady supply of tourists to hand over to your evil [god/eldritch horror/lich/alien] master, but not drawing enough attention to your town that the feds, church, or demon hunters catch on to whats going on and launch a crusade against you. The happier your 'sponser' is, the more good harvests, extended lifespans and stuff you get and the more supernatural defenses you can unlock like being able to trap people in mirror worlds, making dead bodies disappear or become undead guards of the inner sanctum etc

I can see something like this, coop games in which you control a mecha or a space ship.
I know there are already games like Guns of Icarus or space station, all different and all about cooperating in running a ship, but it would be cool to have a futuristic non pvp experience.
Games where you play as a realistic animal are almost non existent. They're all anthro animals or cartoon animals.
Basically, animal simulators.

Cartography games.

>>338492093
>non-PvP
that would really put off so many people from playing it
imagine Guns of Icarus or Blackwake and all you do is explore the world
even if you add some PvE to it, it's gonna get boring quick
UNLESS you keep expanding the hostile counters and eventually SOMEONE would want PvP implemented
in the end everyone would want an intergalactic war ala E.V.E, 64 vs 64, faction vs faction

It's a cool game regardless, since it's a one-car survival-racing platformer thing (the idea is to make it to the end of the course in a short enough time that you don't overheat/run out of energy and your car doesn't explode or get sliced to pieces by saws and lasers)
But by the end it just turns into a glitch-nightmare horror game for no reason

Who says it would play anything like an adventure game though? They could make it like an Elder Scrolls game, only without combat. You could use your maps to rank up in the cartography guild, and get paid, and use that money to buy nice houses and women and horses and better tools to make better maps.
>>338489330
aldur's Gate II is the worst racing game I have ever played
First off, the acceleration is clunky and unrealistic. When you hold down the mouse/accelerate button to reach the maximum speed, this speed is actually reached within the very first second of acceleration. And then when you stop holding down the mouse/accelerate button, you come to an almost instantaneous stop. This game is probably the first racing game that I've seen that lacks simple graded acceleration/deceleration physics.
In addition to that, and if that wasn't bad enough, no matter which character/vehicle you use, the speeds are identical across the board. Now, this might have been acceptable in some older games, but racing games these days make use of different vehicles with varying strengths and weaknesses. This adds a bit of depth to the game and forces you to adapt to different tracks based on the vehicle that you're using. Not so in Baldur's Gate. Here, every character/vehicle is identical to the other and choosing one comes down to merely an aesthetic preference.
The game is also an example of how innovation can go bad. The track design, while undeniably innovative, is also the worst that I've seen in any game. The tracks are riddled with really annoying s--t tacked on for the sake of being the first game to implement the gimmick. Case in point: track obstacles that range from obtrusive foliage and buildings, to annoying NPC magicians (yes, f-----g magicians) that throw s--t at you in order to distract you. The tracks are also convoluted to the point of being more like mazes than anything else, and the twists and turns of the tracks can sometimes be so abrupt as to come to a f-----g 90 degree angle.
I haven't played the first one, but if Baldur's Gate II is any indication, this is one racing series to stay the f--- away from.

Not adventure games. There would still be threats in the world, you'd just have to avoid them.
It would be an open world game obviously, like TES or MGS V. You'd scout an area out look for any threats, explore, get lost, make maps, find cool shit, buy shit, talk to people in towns.
You wouldn't level up any skills or anything like that, anything that makes the game easier would be better equipment or improved player skill.
Think about any open world game, then imagine that you have to avoid the dangerous animals, and you have to make your own map, and are given very comprehensive tools to do so.
The map size would also be much larger than most modern open world games in order to ensure there was a lot for players to map out.

It's still an Adventure, Sim, or Sandbox game, or altogether, probably packaged in a 1st person shooter gameplay.
The map is just a gimmick.
You are exploring a vast 3D world, going for an adventure everytime you step into the unknown.
It may not be an Action game, it's still an Adventure game.
A purely "Map-making" game would focus on the map mechanics itself, rather than the in-game 'world' or 'environment'
Imagine you playing a guy, sitting on a desk.
You're a map-maker.
The game SCREEN would focus on the desk, on the canvas and papers, and you would do stuff on it.
That's how a purely 'Map-making" game would work.
Have you played Papers, Please?
It would play similar to that.
If you add the vast 3D world in, where majority of the game is you exploring the world AND THEN you go back home and make the maps, it's mostly an Adventure game rather than a Map-making Sim.

Except no, because you're not pressing specific buttons in time to a beat. You're doing whatever dance moves you want, and being rated for it. Pressing whatever combos you want. You'd use rhythm yes, but it wouldn't be any of that project diva bullshit where you press the button it shows you and get rated. It would be completely freestyle.

Yes.
We're talking about game.
If you want to make a Map-making Sim game, something like Papers, Please would work better.
If you want it like a fucking Skyrim-but-without combat, it's just a fucking Adventure game with map-making mechanics.
You'd spend more time adventuring and exploring, than making the actual maps.
You'd probably want some Mystery in it, yes?
Horror, no?
What about Sandbox? Crafting?
Camping by the river, gathering sticks and making campfire, spears for fishes?
In the end the fucking Map mechanics is just a fucking gimmick.
>mfw he even wanted to have a Wife, build a house and get Babies
>>338494769
You could also deviate from the beat, filling in or pausing in order to make your dance look cooler.
>>338494936
What's the point of making maps if you're not exploring the land that you're making a map of. That's the whole point. Your idea forgoes the most important part of map making.
The game would have to let you explore in order to make the map.

>>338494769
>Why are the people in this thread so autistic?

Oh wow.
So you want a dancing game but there is no actual accurate mechanics to tell if you danced properly, and also a ryhthm game but you can just press any combos you want?
WOW. I am autistic.
>>338484495
the good game genre
>>338494936
I get what you're saying about it being a gimmick, but I think you're injecting way too much of your own ideas in order to fit your description of the game.
The whole point of the game would be to make maps, and everything you do in the game would facilitate that. You'd have to explore the world yes, and that's in order to actually know what the fuck you're making a map of. The mechanics would all be there to assist you in making maps. And you wouldn't just stop and make a map at one point. You would constantly be recording data, making sketches, drawing topography, and adding this information together into your maps. This would all be done WHILE you're exploring, not at some table back home after you've gone on your grand adventure.
>>338484495
Good
>>338494974
> It's like a Rocksmith game but you don't actually hit the proper, accurate notes on the screen, you just attack the strings of your guitar however you want and make yourself look cool in any way you want whatsoever.
>>338495251
You're making up your own idea of the game.
I already said, Tony Hawk or SSX, except for dancing. There would be mechanics to tell if you danced properly, because you wouldn't get as many points for stringing together moves that don't flow into each other well, or don't go with the song much.
>>338495579
There's no little meter with buttons that come up that you have to press. It's a combo based game, like a fighter, where you do combos to do dance moves, and you have to flow them together.
Christ. Did you guys never play Eddie in Tekken and just make him dance? Imagine that, but with mechanics that rate you for doing moves well or poorly, and much more styles of dancing and music.
Reverse RTS
You play a peon who gets ordered around by an invisible AI or other player in the sky.
>>338495836
>or other player in the sky.
Savage, Natural Selection
>>338495836
a game like that came out recently. I forget what it's called but most people remember it for the game punishing you in the tutorial for laying on the ground in your cell outside designated sleeping hours
>>338495396
And also, it wouldn't be an RPG. There would be no quests or side quests. You'd get money for your maps yes and earn fame in your cartography guild/community, but that's so you can buy better equipment and actually feel some sense of accomplishment for the maps you made.
It wouldn't be a game about survival, but you would have to avoid large dangerous animals and traverse dangerous terrain, because if there was no threat at all it would be less rewarding, and making the maps wouldn't be challenging at all. You wouldn't be making camp and eating to keep your stamina up or anything like that.
You would pretty much constantly be collecting data for your maps, and that would be the gameplay.
>>338495075
And it would make it an ADVENTURE game, with a slight SIM element that is the Map-making gimmick.
FPS Sim
It's like UT2k4's campaign mode, where you hire better and better AI to be on your team, except you're just a manager who doesn't actually fight. You just train them.
>>338488604
Crackdown
>>338495784
That's more of a Rythm game then.
The player character is the one dancing, not you.
>>338496478
Adventure games typically don't have any kind of threat at all. They don't have elements of traversing terrain, and most of them are point and click.
But I honestly don't know what you consider an adventure game, because you seem to think that an open world game where you're not doing quests or killing monsters is an adventure game. That's essentially what it is. An open world game, where all the mechanics are there for map making. You can still climb and jump and run and all that, you just don't have weapons, and no one is asking you to find their lost hoe.
>>338484716
edgy
Fighting Game MMO
>>338497257
There's a game in development that's doing basically that but it's not allowed to be discussed here
Don't really know a name for it, but an MMO with stacked teams?
Sort of like a combination of Evolve, Planetside and Shadow of the Collusus. With a few players being giant monsters and 100s of players being squishy humans who fight them.
I feel like it would be best set in a medivally kind of setting with catapults, spears and old fashion muskets.
If a game like this exists do tell
Architecture physics simulator. Not like straight up WAAAAACKY physics sim that you get from most but actual serious physics that you could expect from professional-grade software (maybe with some leeway or simulation levels for people without the processing power).
Something that actual architects and engineers could potentially pull up real quick to test something out but made more for casual playing-for-fun attitude with more accessibility for anyone.
Serious-fun simulators should just be more expansive than flight sims in general.
>>338496271
It's still an Adventure mate.
Every article in the world would classify the game as an Adventure Simulation.
The map-making is the gimmick. It's not a whole genre on its own.
>>338495396
So etrian Odyssey without combat?
Horror Driving
>>338496906
Yes, but no because when people here rhythm game they think Guitar Hero, or DDR, or Project Diva, or in other words, games where buttons float to the center of the screen and you have to press them on time.It wouldn't be like that at all, not even slightly.
You would have to have rhythm yes, but it would be rhythm like El Shaddai combat, or fighting game combo rhythm. Basically, the rhythm lets you string moves together in time to the beat of the song.

I'm sure game journalists would call it an adventure game, as they wouldn't have any other word for it, but the map making wouldn't be a "gimmick". It would be the entire game and all the mechanics would facilitate it.
I don't know why you're so hung up on the fact that exploring is a part of map making. It's not the main part. You seem to think all you'd be doing in the game is walking, while occasionally pulling out a piece of paper and drawing a line.

If I ask you to go download Besiege or Scrap Mechanics and design a complex engineering marvel, would you be able to?
No you don't. 'Casuals' don't even fully delve into the mechanics and physics engineering of fun games like Scrap Mechanic, and you wan't a full on industrial-grade Sim?
Dude, lookout for some crazy complex Besiege and Scrap Mechanics builds man, you need a brilliant autistic savant to beat them.
>>338488604

>>338497601

Just a lingering thought, but yeah it wouldn't be easy to gamify. I do wonder if there's a way to bridge the gap between job-specific tools and games though.

>>338498627
Your character dances, the whole point is to make him/her dance. You have to know the dance moves and know which moves flow well into the other moves. You don't just press a button to dance, you have to press a combo to do a certain move, and that move may or may not work well with another move, so you have to know your dance moves and how they work.
You don't actually fucking fight in fighting games. Just because you're not up on your feet and dancing doesn't mean it isn't a dancing game.

>>338500109
there's several of those. videogame dev leaps to mind for one example
Voice input adventure/horror game. You'd play as the characters "conscience" and tell them what to do. The louder you are and more frequent you say something the more likely they are to listen, even if it's something they don't want to do. Like, "Go in the cellar.",they say they are scared but if you yell it three times they give in. It could have chase scenes and the faster you repeat the word run the faster they go. If you scream during a jump-scare it freaks out your character and they panic. Similarly if they are doing something that requires lots of concentration and you say things it messes them up.
>>338500305
I want it to be a kind of endless game, no real storyline. The player can control a town of monsters/entities by making them mindless slaves, loyal to them or just happy by catering to their needs (some monsters will like killing humans, some killing eachother, some to just not be bothered, some certain other kinds of monsters to be in the town).
To increase the populance, the player can just wait for certain monsters to reproduce, for newcomers, or (and this will be encouraged) by "inviting" outsiders to the town. Posessing youngsters, sending out changelings, kidnapping, making them willingly come and overpower them, so on.
I also like the idea of certain monsters capable of producing items. "Crafting", stealing, take a pick. Then these wares, and even monsters could be sold on a market between players. Maybe even making it possible to raid other players cities or making outsiders attack them.

Anyway, a genre: first-person "grand strategy". You play as a monarch/commander/lider in first person in parts that are not involved in big battle, resource management or improving of your holdings and army, this sections would involve conversations, duels, etc to allow the player to role play as their character. And when there is battle, its turned in a paradox game/ total war type of game until the next "sim like" section of the game

Hold on, hear me out.
You're not playing as a shooter, you play as a student. Your primary goal is to survive and just being able to escape will make you 'win', with bonus goals for taking out the shooter(s) and preventing innocent deaths.
Gameplay is set in motion by random factors, like the room your character starts in, and the availability of weaponizable objects (baseball bats, scissors, chemistry textbooks, etc), while you'd be able to customize the map layout of the school, the response time of the police, and the number of killers, from a lone gunman scenario up to a full on Die Hard-level terrorist occupation.
Multiplayer would be a definite, with players banding together to take down the shooters.

There was this game on PS1 called Carnage Heart where you had to program your robot and have it fight. The programming was like a big ass grid and you would drop different boxes into the grid, each box was a different if/then statement. So like the first slot you'd put "if no enemies in range 100m, then" and the next slot you'd put "drive forward 20m" or something. The game was really hard as a kid. My friend's older brother had to special order it. Funny enough, the game had a cheat code to enable direct control of your character, which I imagine is unique to that game.
