[Game Pitch] Fantasy-Survival-City/Base builder-Colony Sim game

[Screws]

Not sure if I can do this, but... I'd like to pitch a game idea and see if anyone would be willing to take up the mantle or direct me to something that matches this concept. Ideally it would have an adult context to it, but.. it doesn't have to.

Ideally, I'd want a game somewhat like Palword/Ark, but instead of dinos or 'not pokemon' Pals, you capture various fantasy races with different stats and skills and attributes that you can get to join your 'tribe/kingdom' or whatever you'd want to call it. They'd have their own wants and needs based off of their race and personality traits, but basically they'd function like Pals in Palworld/Thralls in Conan Exiles/tribe members in soul mask/civilians in settlements in Fallout 4/etc. They are combat allies, workers, breeders, defenders, whatever you need em to be as long as they have the right skill set. Of course, being in the survival genre you would need to gather resources or assign your followers to gather resources and the like. I always liked the idea of having a multi-fantasy racial city/settlement builder that you can meaningfully interact with in 1st/3rd person. Watch the orcs and dwarves and goblins and elves and kobolds all meandering about your settlement and interacting with one another. However, I do like the gameplay style of Palworld the most probably, a sort of faster paced, arcade-like combat and movement system which could be transferred over. Also instead of just bringing one ally with you everywhere you could bring a sizeable group.

The overarching story could be as simple as you trying to overthrow the gods of the world to become the new prime god of the world. This could induce a worship mechanic in your followers that you capture. It could be a storyline featuring great, world-ending beasts you have to slay, or some other great threat that stalks the land.

You could have undead like vampires and zombies, plant-like races, and more. Hell.. those could even just be sold as DLC expansions if ya just wanted to start with base fantasy races.

The basic gameplay loop of survival-resource gathering, with crafting better equipment, gaining more followers, expanding your settlement, growing your power so you can take on bigger and badder bosses until you reign supreme... It's pretty common in these types of games, but it fits. It gives you a goal, and.. you could even lock special powers and abilities behind beating certain bosses, similar to V-Rising and its V-blood tree.

Really, I'm just using this post to ramble about an idea I had, knowing full well that no one is going to take on the project, but I figured I could share this passionate idea with others. Thanks for reading!
