    Default What if we had our own video game studio?

    Like say, we had a video game studio. Eyes on Games (EoG), or something, and we all had our own division in that studio to focus on whatever kind of games we want to make for the general public. What kind of games would be your primary focus? What systems would you aim for when creating these games?

    I would probably prioritize 2D side scrolling games inspired from the 16 bit era at first. Taking inspiration from games available on the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive and Super Nintendo. I'll probably aim these for Steam since that made it easier for these kind of games to thrive, but I wouldn't be opposed to porting them to other systems that would have them. At some point I'd like to spread out to more modernized 3D games, since I do have some ideas for them, but I like to keep it simple when I start something new.

    Your turn.

    VNs of course! We've got quite a number of talented writers around here after all! Systems would probably be PC and handhelds primarily.

    I'm not sure if I would have a division. I'm sure whatever I had would be a bit weird and experimental. I'll be our Development Studios Kawazu despite thinking of myself as the studio Miyamoto. I just like too many genres to stick to one, and I like weird experimental game design, so I doubt I would function well in a more straight lace AAA title development. Who knows. I'd probably start with RPGs and move onto fighting and Rhythm games afterwards.

    I had a feeling you'd start off with RPGs.

    I had the OP setup to keep it simple, but people can jump around if they want. I'd probably branch off to 2D fighting games after messing with action, shooters, platformers, and beat 'em ups.

    Ooh! I'd make a beat 'em up game that has the classic 'woman is captured' but she breaks out of her prison and goes after all the guys involved in her kidnapping starting with the prison guards.

    This is actually a very interesting topic! I started making a small game recently (it's still in a very early stage) but if someone wants to help with, let's say, testing or anything gamedev'ish, please add me in Steam: Nagibalus. Game is a little bit like FF Record Keeper, so if you like it just like me - join the party!

    Thanks!

    I would inject humour into the script so it isn't too serious.
