I mentioned this a couple of times in the comments of the blog, more as a joke, but I actually think this would be an awesome game: A mecha game with the graphics of 3D Dot Game Heroes, customizable mechs and destructible environment. The gameplay could be similar to Enemy Territory or Team Fortress, but something like Minecraft with RPG elements would be cool as well. So I created a mindmap (attached) with FreeMind to flesh out my ideas. If I could program, I would be working on it already.
Here's a render of a test dotmech :
Edit: I think a simple jpg is more convenient than to d/l FreeMind : (*exceeded not succeeded)
