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

Id love to see very generic timeless type of games with less content but with the opportunity for the community to expand upon with maps/items/characters.

I would love to see a Trackmania clone. plain racing game with 4 button controls, fun physics, simple yet powerful level editor and a leaderboard.

EDIT: or a binding of isaac clone with potential for shit ton of items as i have just read somebody else mentioning it.

When you mentioned Trackmania, I was reminded of Super Off Road which is a very simple racing game but is a lot of fun. Played it at the arcade and on my computer when I was a kid. A Tux branded version would be pretty easy to make and games with easy controls are great for kids.

Putting it out there; Badlands was the better overhead circuit style racer.
