[This post](https://forum.devtalk.com/t/apple-game-frameworks-and-technologies/1296/9) by @Paradox927 and all the excitement in [this thread](https://forum.devtalk.com/t/games-which-do-you-play/832) got me thinking - what kind of game would you make if you got into it? ---

I would opt for something like Atari’s classic, Asteroids! [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/w60sfReTsRA/maxresdefault.jpg "Classic Game Room - ASTEROIDS arcade game review") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w60sfReTsRA) Amazing, addictive yet unbelievably simple 🤓 ---

I love any kind of adventure game but I prefer RPG style though I didn’t play any real video games recently apart quick games such as cards games… One kind of game I would like to work on is a RPG style where the players would progress by learning a new language. I don’t mean programming language but dialect. I hope that’s the right word and you got the idea. The player will learn the language but also how to read it. For example, he will have to decipher symbols to escape from a crypt … All that with great 3D animations… 😄 To learn the language he will go to a school and progress through lessons… I’m thinking about `Japanese` since this is one of my favourite languages. ---

I have already been in games development. I helped develop [Distorpia](http://www.dadiu.dk/distorpia) as part of a course at university. If I should develop a new game, it would be a Breakout Clone done right or a idle game with pixel graphics. ---

I am in the process of developing an MMO RPG game based on NFT, set in a fantasy universe where you can play and earn NFT items that can be traded with other players through the marketplace. I hope I will succeed, it’s a very interesting project though it requires a good investment ---

I would make a simple browser game so that you can play online. Maybe it would be in the form of a quiz or some other simple game. ---

I really haven’t tried or learned game development before, so I am oblivious to how to design and create games. But I will try to build Space Invaders in my first try. 🙂 ---

That’s a really nice idea. Indeed, I played one like that a few years ago when I was starting to learn japanese. Unfortunately, I can’t remember the name. However it was more like a “text game”, where it would say "you are in front of a shop, what would you like to do? - みる - はいる - かえる" and so on… it was simple but helpfull to learn a few daily actions more naturally. I’d like to do a game like that too =) Anyway, many years ago, when I was starting to learn JavaScript, I did a game where the character is falling from the sky and you have to avoid the spaceships xD I like to imagine it as a “spacial windsuit game” xD it’s possible to play it here [https://sirerror.github.io/Falling/](https://sirerror.github.io/Falling/) ---

If I were diving into game dev, I’d start with a quirky puzzle-adventure game. Think surreal landscapes, talking animals, and mind-bending puzzles. It’s all about making players scratch their heads with a smile! However, I personally mostly play solitaire. What about you? What’s your dream game project? Let’s share some game-making vibes! ---

Platformer, very easy and simple to make, there is dodge games but they have some niche to it. My first game was a platformer, took me 5 years and its not the greatest thing but its something cool to look back at life! ---

I’d like to make a game to help people learn new languages. Some kind of adventure where your character would be in a different country and you’d have to learn the local language, by guessing, with some tips… I think it could be nice ---

Looks like everyone is rather focused on what type of game they would do and not what game they would do. In my opinion the best answer is a game that I would play for years regardless of the type of game, how complicated it is and so on … 👴 Also I like how @AstonJ think as sometimes is just better to get back to the roots and see why people were playing so long a single game. Old school games were not only simple and addictive, but they were also challenging and played by anyone no matter how young or old people. 🎮 The most important achievement for me would be a comment about entire family that is **together** enjoying a game. 🏆 ---
