I kinda wish more games would look into the Animal Crossing style of sandbox. Rather than just blowing up stuff and stealing cars, it'd be cool to see what else a developer could do with a small but highly interactive environment. Seeing as games are usually all about the locations, it'd be cool to have a game that focused entirely on this- like an island community that the players joins. They could chat with the locals, trade items, build a crude sailboat and explore the islands off the coast, and soak in the scenery at different times of day.

Animal crossing + wind waker = Animal waker?

also, stealth kills help the waiting problem a lot, as it leaves a bit more margin for error overall and rewards your patience pretty well. if you have to leave everybody alive it often makes it more of a timing puzzle and a lot less satisfying.

That's why we have distraction (noise, false alert, etc...), no need to kill.

A game based on ugly boxart could be brilliant. I second this one.

On that note, I'd love to see more games branch out into other methods of stylization. We've got plenty of games that have tried cel-shading, but they tend to draw on either modern Western comics or modern Japanese comics. It'd be cool to see someone try and make a game based off of Winsor McCay, or Osamu Tezuka. Hell, why hasn't anyone tried to make a game based on Moebius' artwork?

What's that you say? A game based on Zdzisław Beksiński's work?

Holy crap, yes please. Really, we could ask developers to try making games that look like anybody in the Badass Art Styles thread and it would be completely mind-blowing.

Now that I think about it, that's pretty much what I was imagining. And yeah, that'd be awesome. Least, I think it'd be awesome.

Compo theme anyone ?
