    The Starlost needs a remake. Great premise, dollar store execution.

    Foreseeing the destruction of Earth, humanity builds a multi-generational starship called Earthship Ark, 50 miles (80 km) wide and 200 miles (320 km) long. The ship contains dozens of biospheres, each kilometres across and housing people of different cultures. Their goal is to find and seed a new world of a distant star.

    In 2385, more than 100 years into the voyage, an unexplained accident occurs, and the ship goes into emergency mode in which each biosphere is sealed off from the others.

    Centuries after its original launch, most of the descendants of the original crew and colonists are unaware that they are even aboard a spaceship.

    Another season of Firefly

    EDIT: Or however many seasons it takes to wrap up the story properly. Also, I’ll pay the original actors however much it takes to join the project. And I’ll pay makeup artists and VFX artists however much it takes to make it appear like they haven’t aged.

    Maybe Sarah Connor Chronicles as well. That show ended on a cliffhangwr without resolution.

      Yes. Do a “Southpark” Eric Cartman. Make 5 seasons of Firefly and let know one see it.

      Rumors will fly. Anticipation will build.

      Lets a small numer of people see parts. Allow the rich to bribe me for access. Pay for other projects with the money. Charge enough that people only dpeak glowingly about it.

      Release the whole thing for free.

      Glad to see some love for Sarah Connor Chronicles. Very underrated.

      The showrunners said the next season was going to be some It’s a Wonderful Life type story, where John sees how the future could turn out without him.

    I’d fund Larian to create and release creator tools for custom campaigns for their BG3 engine. Then let the community do its thing. It’s not perfect, but it’s pretty good for a general D&D video game engine.

    I’d also request a sequel/DLC for BG3. Specifically, going to hell in search of a heart…

      I’m pretty sure they aren’t allowed to by Hasbro. They’re making a Virtual Table Top for D&D with subscriptions and micro transactions, attempting to make that how you play D&D now. If Larian made BG3 compete with that, but without all the bullshit, then they’d lose.

      Also, anyone looking for something better, or to get away from Hasbro, Pathfinder 2E is an actually well thought out game where you have to memorize a lot fewer exceptions and crap. It just makes sense and works how you’d expect.

      Yeah. I troll through old Wing Commander-like titles for good SteamDeck support every so often, but then I realize that I also want to play with 3 friends.

      Whoever gets this done will get my money.

      In the meantime, there’s Empty Epsilon which is Star Trek, rather than Wing Commander; and there’s Starlink: Battle For Atlas, which at least has solid local co-op on a docked Nintendo Switch (but is sadly buried in DRM on SteamDeck, while also badly overpriced.)

          Have you tried the original Everspace? It’s a roguelike so it’s basically randomised missions. Rebel Galaxy might also scratch the itch but it’s more “naval” in it’s combat - you move on a 2d plane and fire broadsides, rather than dogfighting.

    Kerbal Space Program / Factorio / Stellaris crossover

    Key elements would include:
    -design a factory/macro-economy to produce aerospace components & weapons similar to Factorio
    -using those components, design vehicles that obey real-ish physical laws similar to KSP
    -arm those vehicles and use them as units in Real Time Strategy with the option to take First Person control of individual units

      Space engineers survival pvp is similar to this but simplified. It’s basically Minecraft in space where you need production and build the ships block by block but the conveyers are simplified compared to factorio. Then the flight characteristics don’t have realistic planetary physics but at least you have a proper zero G environment with 6 degrees of thrust required or turn and burns so there’s the simplified ksp part. After that the multi-player combat is more like a elite dangerous with blocks being torn apart so there’s the simplified stellaris part. Unfortunately all of the factors are simplified so they are not 1:1 counterparts to the games listed but it’s the closest we have currently. Maybe space engineers 2 could change that though

    Personally I’d love to recreate The Walking Dead but I’d want it made much more realistic, slow paced and with less pointless action scenes. I’d want the zombies being the only unrealistic thing on the entire show. It would focus much more on the survival aspect of the zombie apocalypse. It would show things like loot-runs and base building in much greater detail. Instead of the flashy highlights it would be more about the mundane life in the apocalypse. There would be entire episodes where “nothing” happens.

    I imagine it would be an extremely boring show for the vast majority of people, but the tiny niche audience of zombie fanatics like myself would absolutely love it. I’d let other people watch it for free (because why not) but it would be made entirely according to my personal preferences with no regard for how it would be received by others.

          It’s fun but I have such trouble with the controls… My dad is in his 70’ s and he tries but I stopped offering… Big bummer because I love it when I can find games we can enjoy together, but as he gets older he has switched from keyboard and mouse to a controller, and he gets a lot more enjoyment out of games that don’t involve quick multi button actions. Though he won’t admit it. :(

          I just want to jump through the window FFS!!! No don’t turn that way hit the zombie!

        Yeah, it could follow several different characters including some that had been prepairing for it as well as ones that hadn’t and give an realistic representation of the things that really matter. Though I stopped watching the Last of Us, I really liked the basebuilding in the episode with Nick Offerman. I could watch multiple seasons of just that too.

    Mumm Vimes: A Discworld Story. As a series planned with a fixed amount of seasons and as close to the books as possible.

    A „The forever war“ movie would also be very interesting. Or a „Hyperion“ series.

      IIRC, “Mort” was on the list of potential full-length animated feature movies for Disney at one time. The project was nixxed when Pratchett’s estate wouldn’t release licensing. Clements and Musker (directors of “Little Mermaid” and “Aladdin”) switched gears and produced “Moana” instead.

        Good, Disney shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near anything Pratchett wrote.

        They probably couldn’t fuck up the Long Earth though, the first half of the series was pretty cool, and I love the concept, but the last 2-3 books were kind of a slog.
        But I think Stephen Baxter had more influence on those as he co-wrote the series with Pratchett, and they came out when Pratchett was at the end of his life and really struggling with his Alzheimer’s

      Discworld is one of those series that shows that a good book doesn’t necessarily make good tv. You would definitely want writers who can stick to the spirit, while diverging where necessary.

      There’s also the possibility of telling whole new stories in the Discworld. It has a LOT of milage as a backdrop for other stories.
