First-

A 1st person puzzle game using powerful Psychokenesis as your only tool, weapon and resource. Enemies are present, but the game is mostly about solving puzzles or getting from A to B.

I'm not sure which, but either- You play as a man rebelling against some kind of evil empire, using your powers.

Or- You're stuck in a portal style testing environment.
(Controls set up on a Xbox 360 controller)

A - Jump
B - Use/Interact (can be done from a distance with most objects)
X - Psycho Lift (lifts objects into the air, can be controlled with the look buttons while still moving with the move buttons.)
Y - Nothing yet.
Left Trigger - Psycho Wormhole (Sucks objects towards you.)
Right Trigger - Psycho Launch (Pushes objects away from you, combined with Lift, allows you to throw the object you are holding.)
Left Button - Pull (Combined with Psycho Lift, moves the object you are holding towards you.)
Right button - Push (Combined with Psycho Lift, moves the object you are holding away from you.)
Left Joystick button - Crouch
Right Joystick button - Zoom


Second idea-

Third person/First person fighting/shooting RPG game with robots. You play as a robot that at first, only had fists and a weak shoulder-gun, but over time you upgrade yourself with flight, or with big guns, or with electrical powers, your choice, you gain pieces to upgrade yourself by doing missions or destroying evil robots. Speaking of evil robots, there are a set amount of robots similar to you who might be good, might be evil, but all of them must be destroyed, similarily, you must be destroyed to them, it's just a big fight for survival amongst the "chosen" robots, plus the evil robot empire minions and maybe aliens. Also, the other chosen robots have stats, money, and can upgrade in exactly the same way you can. You might go for a fast, speedy robot, and meet a robot who's upgraded for firepower and defence. Or you might meet your match.

Few things that're worth saying-
They may look like mechs, and fight like mechs, but they are not mechs, they are about human sized and have no-one inside.

You have a single resource- Power, power recharges, but is used up whenever you jump, whenever you fly, whenever you shoot, whenever you use a melee weapon, etc. You can move and stand without using power.

Upgradable parts-
]]Torso- Gives defense to the chest
]Core- Determines the amount of power you have and how fast it recharges.
]Special- Gives you a special ability (Shields, cloaking devices, dash system, etc.)
]]Head- Defense to the head
]Eye- Gives the ability to switch vision style.
]]Arms- Gives Defense to the arms
]Shoulders- Can give slight defense to the whole body, or attach another ranged weapon.
]Hand- Attach another weapon (Ranged or Melee),
]]Legs- Gives defense to the legs. (Can come in humanoid, Tank tracks, or Hover)
]Feet- Can give access to flight, or reduce knockback.

Please note- Only one part can be attached to each part, except for the hands where melee and ranged weapons can be combined to form a weaker but more versatile version of the weapon.

A- Jump (Hold for flight if you have the upgrade)
X- Melee right handed attack (If you have ranged weapons only, this acts as a punch)
Y- Interact/Talk
B- Melee left handed attack (If you have ranged weapons only, this acts as a punch)
Left Trigger- Left ranged weapon (hand)
Right Trigger- Right ranged weapon (hand)
Left button- Left ranged weapon (shoulder)
Right button- Right ranged weapon (shoulder)
Left Joystick button- Body enhancement (Shield, cloaking, etc.)
Right Joystick button- Eye enhancement (Zoom, X-ray, etc.)

Whoah. These are getting complicated- Especially this one

Idea 3-

A Dwarf Fortress style "Generate your world" game, where history is written according to what you do. At any time you can choose to play as a member of one of the races, but not only do you choose a species and a starting place, you also choose the time period. Allowing for you to change history, effecting the future, etc. Essentially, you could play in one year, become wealthy and succesful, then start a second game years before that one, causing the other character to never be born. Very confusing, but if this was ever done, it could provide endless entertainment and confusion.

Obviously there would have to be a date where the universe is set to end/begin so it isn't infinite. Maybe that's one of the things you can set when generating a world...

That last one is extremely far fetched. But it's worth throwing out there anyway.
