so, Tony Hawk’s Power Shovel?
Yes but instead of a pop/punk soundtrack it’s all just ambient
Battle Construction Vehicles might be the closest we’ve got:
a rare case where I wish Artdink went easy on the personality and let it be sparser

I just got cross threaded like an old bolt!
Lemmings: Revenge of the Proletariat does sound pretty sweet. Should be a free browser game.

i dreamed about a walking simulator game about an airplane pilot who did acid while flying the plane and crashed it, killing his co-pilot and leaving all the passengers missing. he’s on an island and he’s talking to himself about how sorry he is, he killed a bunch of kids
the resulting fandom of the game has treated it like a cult classic indie visual novel. people on tumblr are drawing fanart of the plane crasher with a red nose, shipping him and a cat you can find on the island

I dreamt of a top-down adventure game/RPG for the NES. The main area I remember was a dirty, brown cave system with lots of bones strewn about. Most tiles could be inspected, each of which had full songs as musical cues, and unique first-person artwork and flavor text to go with it. I marveled at the hangoutitude of a game that’s always inviting you to stop for a couple minutes to listen to a song — not to mention the marvelous, wasteful extravagance of it all.
(All the music I remember was from Castlevania 2 for Game Boy.)
At the very least, I could see this being a novel (and optional) interface for a chiptune album.

shenmue style adventure game where you wander around a small but intricately detailed cyberpunk slum neighborhood and just talk to people and feed cats and shit. instead of the classic cyberpunk Shoot People game its just about how people survive in the cracks of such a fucked up society

I’ve been playing a fair bit of Final Fantasy 12, so:
A JRPG where you can program your party’s AI. Since you have limited ability to intervene directly in fights, reprogramming the AI is your primary means of adapting to bosses and the like. Many of the more interesting bits of gear and skills are, effectively, a puzzle; their behavior is eccentric enough that programming the AI so it can meaningfully use them is challenging, but doable.
Its my favorite recent final fantasy. I want to develop a massive scale war game based on the same idea. Maybe 1000 soldiers on each side, each running programs that each player can adapt in real time if they want to.
