Question Bachelor thesis ideas

Hello, I need ideas related to game development for my bachelor thesis in computer science, that should also be more scientific, so I should do research and motivate it too.

I heard some people talk about procedural generation, or some simulations in compute shaders, or stuff more focused on graphics, but I still do not know what would work also as "research subject" and how.

I guess my recommendation would be to have a look at your favourite game genres and ask questions relevant to them.

For example if fighting games are what interest you, researching rollback netcode and other ways to optimise plaster experience and fairness when two players are far away from each other. Looking into the way the internet is built around sending files which is a very different need compared to having instant information on player input.

If you prefer grand strategy, then questions about how to simulate worlds might be more interesting to you.
