So, take the graphics and horse riding from Red Dead Redemption 2. Take the procedurally generated world, basic crafting, and sailing of Valheim. No human or monstrous mobs. Include wild animals who act like wild animals, slightly territorial bears and wolves, but not over the top. Allow animals to be tamed. Require some nourishment, but like Valhein don’t have risk of starvation.
Then have it play out as a non-lethal survival/building game with wild animals, non-hostile humans, and spend the majority of time getting lumber and materials to build stuff like towns and encampment. Let weather conditions and terrain be the main challenge! Have seasons.
Basically a wilderness survival game that doesn’t involve actively hostile enemies that you need to fight.
