I am really having a hard time figuring out a game idea, I’ve been thinking for months, but nothing comes to mind.
If I have a simple idea in my mind, I go into studio, work on it for a few days, and then my motivation is completely gone and I don’t even want to touch it anymore.
I’ve looked everywhere, but my creativity is horrible.
Does anyone have great game ideas or recommendations?
Motivation isn’t enough to create big projects (most games are, after all, big projects). Your driver must be discipline, otherwise you are doomed to fail. Also, try figure out why you feel demotivated. Create lists of tasks (I like using Notion or Trello for this) and do whatever is next / whatever you feel like doing.
Use other games you like as inspiration, on or off Roblox.
See what it is that make those games fun and engaging and take those parts and put your own spin on it for your own game.
Plan your game and make TODO-list with small steps you can check off one by one.
Try to make a MVP first, Minimum Viable Product. That is the basic core of the game. Test the MVP and see if that is fun and build upon that.
Remember that creating a game is usually hard work and is not “fun” all the time. One must learn to push through those moments.
Go back to the files you didn’t have motivation for open them up or have a test see if it makes you think of adding anything new, if you’ve gathered a lot over time try and implement them together somehow also sounds like me when I need a break, when you come back you get a lot more done/create new ideas without even realising how much that break you took helped.
I think if you’re looking for creativity/inspiration from games that are already made the best ones would be ones you played growing up or really enjoy, hope this helps!
I got the same issue last year as well.
My advise is make it fun! It can be simple or insane. However, you get to know what’s going on bts if you want to create more crazy stuffs. Otherwise, you will stay the same.
