While we appreciate game ideas of all difficulty levels, before you post a game idea that is unlikely to ever be made it is worth checking out http://yourgameideaistoobig.com/ (Credit: u/clintbellanger) as there is a good chance it is too big. For this reason you should try and distill it down to the smallest and simplest concept you can, that way an interested game developer can actually make it.
