I've been listening to Dungeon Crawler Carl book series on audible, and wow!!! What an adventure!
It really makes me want to play dungeon crawlers again (not so unlike BG3, and DoS2 really). But really would love to play in a realm like Matt Dinniman has created.
Enter (hopefully) my favorite game studio Larian!!!
Seriously though. You guys have the chops to make some incredible games. I think if ya'll reached out to Matt Dinniman, I honestly believe its a shoe in for ya'll to create the game. It's so expansive and open, solo, multiplayer, even possibly have outside interactions with players in the realm of spectators and sponsors, I think it would be a masterpiece to create.
Love all of you and love your work! Keep it up, and please give it some serious consideration!
