I had an idea to make a Robotech simulator where a player would take on the role and live the life of a Veritech pilot during the first Robotech war.
Maybe as Rick Hunter or perhaps as a pilot in his squadron. Maybe in one of the others if that’s not possible.
The VF-1s are the most iconic Veritech units, especially because of how they look.
It’s no small surprise that you see VF-1 Valkyries taking the place of the F-14 Tomcat in fan-made videos comparing DYRL to the iconic cult classic, Top Gun.
Like this one, which isn’t by me: https://youtu.be/cCmDa3Dp7l8
If you guys could make a Robotech VF-1 Valkyrie simulator app for PC, maybe put it on Steam or even in your own store, it would sell like hotcakes. Especially if you made it so that you were playing as one of the main characters, like Rick, Max or Ben.
In the intro, you could even use the opening title sequence of the Macross Saga, where Rick Hunter launches into the sky from the carrier deck aboard the SDF-1, goes through from Fighter into Battleoid mode and then kills a few enemy pods. It would tie in perfectly as it would set the scene and show the player exactly what they’re buying: A simulation allowing you to fly veritech fighters in the war against the Zentraedi.
