I do! I keep a massive list of my game ideas big and small (it's currently 159 ideas / 56 pages lol) and I have so many multiplayer games I'd love to try making someday!
Some favorites:
- Undead Soccer: It's soccer but each team is 5 skeletons & 1 necromancer. Powerful shots will burst a skeleton into bones so you have to keep reviving them mid-game.
- Vampire Survivors but multiplayer: they did this one, now i don't have to
- Neko Atsume but multiplayer: the world needs more cat collecting, let me do it with my friends
- Co-op Town Builder: I really want to make a Words With Friends-like mobile cooperative building game! Basically you'd start a town with like, 5 friends, and you'd cycle through, each taking a turn to spend resources, build what you like, raise your personal NPCs and interact with others... maybe do stuff like vote on how to allocate town-wide resources, explore & build in new areas, encounter random events, etc. I really want to play an asynchronous co-op game that can last for months where you kinda just goof around with friends... I think it'd be a nice way to stay in touch :3
- Bosses With Friends: Inspired by the Starcraft 2 mod Ultimate Boss Battles. I had a plan for a top-down Zelda-like that was focused on teaming up with friends to fight huge bosses. You'd each pick a character class and combine skills to deal huge damage while avoiding wild attack patterns. You'd level up, unlock new stuff, etc... I made a tiny prototype years ago with the netcode working and everything, but the scope was just enormous.
- Co-op Princess Raising: A princess maker-like where you and your friends play as a council of advisors that argues over how to best raise an orphaned princess. It's a mix of cooperative and competitive, where you each have your own goals and specialties, but you still have to coordinate or she'll end up dead or running away. You could vote on the advice you give her, choose what lessons or items to give her, etc... I think you could even set it up to play like a Jackbox game, with ~30 minute sessions or something?
- Lesbian Fighter: This is 99% driven by my Strive obsession, but if I ever write enough characters to fill out a roster, I'd love to put them all in a fighting game... fighting game mechanics are so cool and deep, I'm sure they're an insane amount of work, but how cool would that be..? Seeing them all flirt and argue and fight?? I want it..!
Nowdays, I play at least as many multiplayer games as single-player, because I use them as a way to keep in touch with friends who live far away. I have lot of multiplayer ideas, but they're usually a huge amount of work, so it might be a while... someday though...
