I want to recreate the genre of the FRPG so that the reality of the game reflects the real world to the point that if it’s raining in the game, as a player you will want to seek shelter. The game should also reflect the real world’s finite resource both natural and human. If you build a temple in the game, you have to learn real principles of structural engineering and architecture. To trade in the game you will have to learn real economics, so on and so forth.

I want to recreate the fighting game genre so that the game shows medically accurate results of fighting. The idea being that if fighting in the game is an accurate representation of fighting in the real world (ie fights tend to be 30 seconds or less and show the real trauma of fighting) players will be forced to realize how devastating real world violence can be, and start seeking other forms of conflict resolution. If I could make players feel the pain that actually results from being in violent conflict I would.

I have a rough idea how I want to accomplish these tasks but I need more knowledge and tools to be able to develop these ideas, that is what I am here to seek.
