Curses / LCS Remake?
« on: February 18, 2018, 10:05:43 am »
Anyone ever thought if anyone would try to make a game with similar mechanics and goals of LCS? And not even necessarily based around liberal group, maybe any sort of "crime squad"? I did, and conveniently enough I am a game developer... 
anyways, I really loved LCS when I played it years ago after discovering it from playing Dwarf Fortress, and few days ago an idea struck me, wouldn't it be cool if there would be another game like LCS? Maybe less of a roguelike and more of a modern type of a visual game? sort of.
Now I'd like to say I have pretty busy stage in my life, and I don't have tons of time to work on this, just saying to not build any potential "hype" or anything, because my version of this is not very likely to happen even though I'll attempt.
So my idea was, maybe develop something like LCS, but in modern engine (woo, fullscreen) and whenever you'd travel/visit areas in game (police station, etc etc) it will be actually more visual and from my plan, not turn based, but more like in artstyle of streets of rogue. (very interesting and beautiful roguelike that was made available on steam lately)
But yeah at least from what I got so far the main screen will stay the same, where days and daily actions will be turn based, only major difference will be the locations visiting.
Just a thought, would something like this be interesting? Or it won't make much difference since the game that has been out and been developed on existed for many years now and is fully playable and enjoyable anyway?
Any further ideas are fully welcome, what would be cool feature for a "remake" like this? What can/should be changed from original LCS? etc.
