On my “lotto list” is starting a game studio to make my favorite daydream… a free to play isometric mmorpg with a bunch of unique mechanics that so far havent been seen in online gaming (to my knowledge) including non predatory ways for me to make money.
Id make an awesome rich guy.
Curt Schilling tried that and lost over $100M of his own money, but he’s also a massive asshole in all regards. I wish you better luck.
Meanwhile I’ve been constantly thinking “I could probably make some piece of shit in Unity called Give Me Money that is just a big green button that takes $50 from your bank account and deposits it into mine and enough people would still buy the game and press the button that I could probably never have to work again.”
I’m the same way, but I’m hoping to start with an isometric MP remake of a SP strategy game I loved as a kid, with a handful of unique mechanics.
If that goes well, I want to bring those mechanics into an MMORPG setting. I really want to make a strategy MMORPG where players initially engage with the game in a traditional MMORPG sense (quests, level up, etc), and later engage with the strategy aspects (raids against other factions, cross faction diplomacy, controlling territory, etc).
But alas, I don’t have the time, skills, money, or motivation to make it a thing right now.
