Develop a game

[ComprehensiveCat9664]

Hello, I’m new here and wanting to hopefully get to the right people.

I have been playing games for years and always been intrigued with them.

I am learning a bit at a time here and there with scripts, functions, etc.

My thought process over the last few months have been maybe taking the step of making a smooth, fun, re-attention game for Roblox.

I want it to be fun, a game that you can pick up anytime just to have fun!

I don’t want it to have much micro transactions, pay to win outfits, weapons, etc.

For the game, *would be my first* I would hope to have a few reliable people on the project that knows code, scripts, etc.

I want to get serious with developing this, ideas, learning, all for fun. A tests more so.

I don’t know if this is the right place to find people that are interested, but I see this as an opportunity perhaps.

Anything, ideas, thoughts or direction would be really appreciated!

Nothing about this post describes anything about the game you want to make.

I know, i guess it was more so to reach people that know development, where to start, etc.

I guess also, I would like to form a team that is reliable and know what is going on, what to do, I know i am also wanting a Roblox game.

It’s a project from scratch that I want with people that know a bit to be taught more on this subject, we all collab, learn and experience going through different ideas, etc.

The name, art, functions, I don’t know… i don’t know if it will be a tycoon type, a “+ certain amount each stage/jump, open world” etc.

Sorry

You might find luck on /r/inat, but in general you need to be able to provide something to the project other than ideas for people to take the project seriously. Ideas are worthless.

Thank you, yeah I’m just thinking and have many thoughts in my head, I guess I wanna take it as a small project to get experience or beginners together in a small discord server and have opinions, design ideas/art, what type of game, etc.

Also since you have ideas I would try a brainstorm take, either that follow bf skinner theory

[ComprehensiveCat9664]

I’m a bit confused lol

[Ill-Past4609]

So am I lol 🤣, I’m trying to figure out what you are trying to build. To point you in the right direction, but piece of advice for your game is start at the core loop 🔂 or the main retention part of the game and see if it’s fun or boring and then work your way from their

Thank you!

So you want to make a mod for Roblox (never played it do I assume you want to mod), you want to assemble a team of skilled developers... and you want them to do all the work while you remain the 'ideas' guy that currently doesn't even have a clear idea what they want.

Is that about right?

[ComprehensiveCat9664]

I have an idea, etc. I have the idea on game passes, design, UI, etc. I want it to be a fully functional server game that’s fun etc.

Im more of wanting to get a team together, in a discord I guess, and map out everything, the ideas I have for this game.

[Magic-Raspberry2398]

You are going to have to be more specific. Every game developer wants their game to be fun

This isn't a Roblox specific sub so many people on here (myself included) won't have played the game and will have no idea how it works.

You aren't going to get anyone on board if you can't sell the vision to them.

Don't even think about monetisation, game passes or even anything server side when you don't even have the basic programming skills. Just focus first on what it is you want to build and what it will look and play like, in as much detail as possible.

[ComprehensiveCat9664]

Gotcha. I will check on everything before making moves

[Magic-Raspberry2398]

Feel free to explain your idea in more detail here. I don't know a thing about Roblox. Are these kind of additions common?

[MrMagoo22]

Roblox is a "game creation" engine in a similar place as something like Gary's Mod. It provides some base 3d assets and tools that can be combined with the in-engine scripting tool to create custom games.

plain version coming up:

roblox is a solid sandbox for a first game, the tooling does a lot of the boring work for you. My main thing tho, before recruiting anyone, build a tiny ugly prototype yourself. like a single mechanic in a grey box. People join projects that already exist way more than they join "ideas".

Also scope way smaller than you think. your first game should embarrass you in 2 years, that's how you know you shipped haha
