I know other devs interested in making Tux games but before I begin with them I figured I would ask the community what they would like to see

A Conker/Golden Eye type game? DOOM-like? Farming Sim? Fighting Game similar to Smash? Open World RPG similar to older Bethesda games? RTS like StarCraft? Turn-Based like Final Fantasy or Expedition 33? Going mad for power in a 4X? Another genre entirely?

What genre would you all prefer to see have a game made first? I will basing it off of likes

I plan to make a game in each genre but for now figuring out which to do first is the goal. Have concepts, tools, experience, devs, etc ready to make anything the community wants

Edit:

Leaving this open for 2 more days. Whichever gets the most between the 2D Fighting and Turn-Based comments. They are both tied at 14 upvotes

That's a great suggestion!

I'll definitely add doing more unique game concepts as part of what gets made overtime.

You inspired me, I just thought of a Tux Overhead Legend of Zelda type game but with chess-like movement.

Where you can go throughout the game unlocking chess pieces as abilities to switch to a different piece to change how you move and abilities. Maybe even add some unique pieces too for enemies, and player to move in new ways
