Advice on developing a game idea

You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:

  1. What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!

I’m looking for advice on my game idea.

What I have planned to create is a social deduction type game where players are all in a map and one player is secretly an assassin. They are armed with a suppressed pistol and must eliminate all the survivors. So ofc for the assassin to win they must eliminate all the players discretely as they is a report body feature (yes like among us). But what I’m struggling with is a win condition for the survivors.

  1. What is the issue? Include enough details if possible!

Cant decide on a win condition for the survivors that forces them to split up around the map.

  1. What solutions have you thought of so far?

Naturally I considered tasks however i decided against it as it would just be a rethemed among us game and I want to keep the game more fast paced and I think tasks would slow it down.

After that, you should include more details if you have any. Try to make your topic as descriptive as possible, so that it’s easier for people to help you!

As of now I’m currently debating players needing to find x keys in x time frame to escape. I think this would create more chaos as players are in urgency allowing the assassin to pick them off.

oops forget to mention but survivors also win if they vote the assassin out probably obvious but yeah

Any criticism or feedback is welcome :slight_smile:
