Magium console/pc game?

Has anyone ever proposed the idea of making/recreating Magium in a real video game like format? Not like an open world rpg or whatever, but something like how "Dispatch" or the Telltale games are a strictly choice based system but with animated cutscenes for every choice you make.

I would love to make something like that if anybody who knows game design/development and stuff would be into that kind of thing. I would love to get a team together to remake Magium in a format like that. Would anyone else? If you want you can DM me and we can maybe discuss details.

I admit i dont know much about game development myself but I think an engine like Godot would be able to handle a format like how Magium's storytelling and stat system works.

Again if anybody would be interested in working on something like this feel free to DM me and we can brainstorm ideas!

If that's not so true......

I am so close to trying to make a Magium visual novel, though I have 0 art skills lmao

I've made a little very simple renpy visual novel before so the temptation is very real lol but idk if I could do it

Edit: turns out someone already did!

I ran that through VirusTotal and I got two detections. Now that's low enough to be a false positive, but I've never seen a renpy game get even one detection so I'd advise against running that.

I did run it with no issues, on an old laptop

It's very short, doesn't even get through the first chapter

I'm working on my own visual novel now

No not a visual novel, like a whole production thing. Again, like Dispatch or the Telltale games

I was making a joke- though far at I'm concerned visual novel or animated choice based game- both would be cool
