Free (Computer) Game Ideas

These ideas are completely free for any and all uses, although if you try to sue someone else for developing ideas you found here I’ll try to fight that.

Life Simulator + RPG

I’ve often noticed that the time scales with CRPGs seem weird; like in the Elder Scrolls games you become head of the mage’s guild in like a couple of game-time months, which is just absurd.

I’d like to see a disjoint-time system applied to that problem, like the Total War series, where there’s a split between map-time and battle-time, or the Persona series (and presumably other Japanese life simulators), where some actions take up hours and some occur in real time.

I’m imagining that the game occurs in chunks of, say, 3 months, and in that time you decide what major skill you’re going to be working on (i.e. studying magic), but you might also have more real-time things occur, such as quests or whatever.

In this sort of time flow, the idea of a less-than-40-year-old grandmaster would just be absurd.

Writing a game plot to work with this sort of thing would be interesting and probably somewhat strange.
