This is really easy:

1. Some sort of diablo clone. How amazing would it be to touch screen enemies with the map at the top screen? With WIFI multiplayer? Ok, i'm gonna change my pants now.

That's about all I need.

I do very much agree, but I'm stunned that we haven't seen any of these games yet. I guess dungeon explorer will be the first. That one is out soon, right?

Dungeon Explorer is a Feb 2008 release for Europe. That's a long time. I'm hoping that some homebrew developer realizes the ds potential for this type of genre and feels the need to start making one now. I'd be ecstatic for a 2d simplistic hack and slash game. The only things I really care about are:

Random Level Generation
Randomly generated swag and enemies
Skill trees or just even different paths you can develop as
Touch screen interface
Some Rogue-ish character with a ranged weapon

That's all I really want. Anything else would be icing.

Some ideas would be quests for townsfolk that offer rewards, Wifi cooperative play(but that might be difficult to make), some nice pixelated spell animation, and a choice of starting classes.

I can picture it now; pretty much controls like Phantom Hourglass with regard to movement and attacking. Hold L/R for your secondary attack like spells or throwing or something. Top screen is your map and vital statistics. Then all you really need is to push a direction or ABXY to bring up a touch based item menu that uses the diablo like grid system. Man, I gotta stop psyching myself up for nothing.

If I wasn't in Uni right now, I'd take the time to try and learn a gaming programing language. I'm pretty good at MATLAB algorithms and such but that won't give me a portable diablo. If any aspiring developers are reading this and are interested, I'll do as much as I can to help with anything but the programming.

On a completely different note, whats the best way to experience Civilization or a clone on the ds? Right now I'm using Civ for snes and Snemulds 0.6a and while it satisfies my urge, It just doesn't feel like a natural experience and seems real convoluted.

And on a TOTALLY different topic, for any of you that has play Dwarf Fortress for the pc, the next update should be released any day now. (Hasn't been updated since Jan). If you haven't heard of Dwarf Fortress, DON'T google it. Your life will be sucked away. It's not even a game man, it's an experience.

-Chrono Trigger
-Super Mario RPG

Those 2 just have to be released on the DS. And then in the graphics of Final Fantasy 3 on the DS.

Why does everyone want Ocarina on every system? That game has already gotten 4 releases, plus Master Quest, we really DON'T need another one. We also don't need another RPG.

I agree with everyone who has said either Street Fighter or Capcom vs. SNK, preferably the latter. Alpha 3 came out for GBA, we FINALLY have six buttons on a handheld, and where is Ryu? Off dilly dallying in some card battle crap :'(

    Why not they just mine Monero instead of scamming vulnerable people? If they have a decent machine they can hit a jackpot at any given time.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Bitcoin on the other hand, requires a very powerful mining rig and is more costly.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, different cultures so probably they have their reasons
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yes a $2,000 rig for $5 a day

    @Xdqwerty, Or could be in correlation to laws.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Technically, cryptocurrencies aren't illegal, as long as you don't use it for criminal activity. If you sign up with an exchange, and that they get a tip from law enforcement, they have the right to freeze your assets.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, Yea I heard law is vastly different there
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Nigeria's central bank did make crypto illegal before, until last year they lifted the ban. Always make sure to check before you exchange. ;)

    @SylverReZ, speaking of crypto i remember reading about a guy who spend like 10 grand bitcoin on a couple pizzas (when bitcoin wasnt as worthy as nowadays)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, That's mental. If he had saved up when Bitcoin sky-rocketed in price, then he might've become the next Jeff Bezos for all I know.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, he couldnt know the price was gonna skyrocket anyway
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Then it dropped sometime in 2022, 2021 was when it really went up in price.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, I also recall watching a video of some failed games with their own crypto currency or smth like that, lemme link it to you (it's in spanish tho)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, I remember that. Didn't Steam ban games with NFTs before somehow devs managed to circumvent it? Think EA tried to dabble in NFTs too.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Glad to hear people realise that NFTs aren't worth it these days. They realise that they're JPEGs hosted on a file-hosting site like AWS or Google Drive.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Atleast it has captions
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Meta also tried to create their own crypto, but that fell through.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Was called Libra, they had around 100 employees and wanted to hire more near to end of the year.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, idk why facebook tried to do that metaverse thing if mmo games already existed before
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    And Yea I refuse to call it meta
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, I refuse to call it Meta, too. It's a stupid name.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, then why did you call it like that a minute ago?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    I don't get why Facebook ever wanted to dabble into virtual reality, when other companies were doing it.
