Man.... How bout something constructive?

Here's a couple ideas.

A farming simulator souls like

A community service Metroidvania where the world becomes easier to traverse the more people you help

An RPG where you play a pacifist where the classes is negotiator, construction worker, delivery person, fire fighters. Instead of fighting the war, youre building a better world AFTER the wars.

Im looking at the ps store right now and 95% of the games on offer is about beating up or killing people or creatures in some way.

Im a HUGE fan of souls like games and Metroidvanias and I used to be into FPS games.

But Im older now. And Ive come to notice that maybe the violence wasnt why I liked those games but perhaps it was the "kinetics" and meat and potato mechanics that made me like them.

I think Im just tired of all the violence being pushed and marketed to me as a gamer. It's over represented.

Well the non violent games are pretty popular too, so the potential is here. Various simulators of mundane things have huge market and i remember the game "Emergency" was huge hit with sequels.
