Need Ideas for a Game

[Rase]

Although you would definitely want to expand on and change the core mechanics and story to make it your own, I think it would be fantastic personally to see a new game that is similar to Illusion of Gaia. Top-down adventuring with a healthy dose of good narrative, and some interesting mechanics to round out the package (in IoG's case, shape-shifting, how leveling up worked, and the abilities gained). I also think that these types of games allow for more freedom in terms of what you can fit into them, as they are not expected to be 30+ hour epics like RPG's.

However, even more realistically it would make sense to just find a fun and arcadey experience to replicate, add in some unique gameplay twist or two, some refreshing visuals and music. A Smash TV clone set in a Chuckie Cheese with ska music playing perhaps. You can work on your epic genre-redefining masterpiece once you have a secured job with a company.

EDIT: Or basically what Hsu suggested.
