Of course, games design is a passion of mine...

Shoot...

Just be aware that a lot of other developers read this site, and your idea's may have children elsewhere :)

... Just noticed, I appear to have a sheepie on the way :)...

I want to have a 3d mouse. Basically, you put your hand between 3 laser scanners, and they can detect its location in 3d space, and whether you are pointing, etc. Then you can move your hand around inside the virtual "box", and control whatever's going on "on screen"

Then, I want two of them...one for each hand... you can keep your analogue joysticks, my mouse thing would rule :)
you could use that for windows as well! No longer would the windows be on top of each other, they could also be put deeper! think of the possibilities!

Controllers are an interesting avenue for the future, but they are only one area in which games need to improve.

While at E3 I was lucky enough to have a small chat with one of the design team on the DS/NGC2. In between gushing about how nice it was for people to appreicate their work (NGC, and NDS), he spoke a little about the fact that Japanese developers have been complaining about how difficult is it becoming to invent new gaming styles with the current breed of consoles, as they are all about more graphical, and processing power.

It is this complaint/desire that guided the design of the DS, and is guiding the design of the sucessor to the NGC. Nintendo are working on a new controller direction...

not so much. I just want the ideas out of my head to get more room for character design. But, the ideas are mostly text adventure based.
