So for the past few weeks I’ve been working on a Simulator, I would like feedback on it. Note, none of it is complete and I’ll only be showing little bits of the Simulator in the video posted below. Also note, that there’s a lot of mechanics missing within this, and will be added later on in development.
So far, we have GUI’s, and a few of the core mechanics. Plus, we have the spawn done and completed.
VIDEO TIME!
A lot of what’s seen will be changed…
Now, I wont say what this Simulator is about. (Just so the idea isn’t stolen.)
But basically, you spawn in this warehouse. There’s two garages, where you can enter and exit the warehouse from. If you exit the warehouse, you can go out into the city and earn money from… Doing certain things in the city.
A lot more is to come, I didn’t know how to phrase the Idea so it wouldn’t be stolen. Sorry if this was really vauge.
POLL TIME!
I would play it
I would play it if there’s some changes to your idea
I would not play it at all, boring, and doesn’t sound or look fun.
Look first of all I respect you as a developer I bet there is a lot of people that love simulators and good for them but for me it just sounds like any other simulator I am not saying it looks bad not all it looks Good maybe make the colors a bit more vibrant, but it is not for me.
ps, I hope you didn’t get offended I respect you as a dev and taking the time of your day to create a game that hopefully gets popular but it is not for me sounds like any other simulator but a lot of people like simulators I wish you all the success you get from this game.
Hey, no offense taken. I respect you too! We’ll add some more colors, this is just a really early development phase. Plus, I have a great plan to make this unique from others simulators, and you may find some fun out of it with this small… erm twist we’re adding.
I really wish that there a simulator game that is not just click click click.
Making this kind of game is easy, but I think it is absolutely hard because making a game that I never like is not a good achievement for me.
The simulator game shouldn’t be a kind of game that just only click click click and do nothing, I suggest you to add some secrets or easter eggs in your game, this will increase the time on the front page.
I agree, I don’t feel there’s anything wrong with making a simulator game, it’s just that if you’re going to make one it needs to be engaging. There should be more entertainment value, it should go further than just “click click click”. Although there’s always a clear purpose in simulator games (To get more points, etc) I personally don’t find that very entertaining, make those points do something actually interesting, at least provide some good visuals or animations, I’d also recommend adding some sort of leader board to give players a stronger drive to play, you’ll be surprised by how far bragging rights can go. I really like the UI though, it has a really neat vibe to it. I’ll definitely be looking out for your game, good luck with it!
to put it simply, 99% of simulators (including this one by the looks of it) are what you find in your nearest dollar store game grab basket, like this person stated already “it should go further than “click click click””
simulators as they are now REALLY need to stop as we are at a point where they are all just carbon copies of eachother, completely oversaturating the market and actually prohibiting non-simulator game devs from getting a good start on their games
I don’t know what you did wrong, but we can’t see the video. @Shiroyukia It looks like your internet browser can’t read the file, it depends if the video was imported as MP4 format (then it should work again) or if it was imported as another format. @Disparrel , what format is your video in? @minkmink, I think like you, and so I recommend that @Disparrel 's simulator has something that no other simulator has. Something that really makes people want to play your game, just because it has this thing that doesn’t exist anywhere else. You should make your game unique.
I want to support all developers and development; but you haven’t really provided anything that I could consider a “game” to give you any feedback on. What you’ve shown us quite simply is a hammer clicker and two UI’s. Both of which seem to serve their function adequately.
Without further information regarding game play mechanics, I wouldn’t be able to really provide you with any helpful feedback other than what has already been mentioned.
This “twist” that was mentioned, will be different than other games. Sure, you equip the tool and go “click, click, click” but! There’ll be a lot of other ways to earn money. (No this isn’t like a Job Simulator, or anything.)
Basically, you can spawn in this warehouse. Then you can exit the warehouse and enter the city area. Thus now you can earn more money… By doing some things, which will be explained later on through development.
But, for this secret we’ll be basically make a pick-up script and add money to the leaderboard.
Hope this helps you, @DetailedModuler. Maybe you, yourself may find some fun out of this game when it releases!
Because I often see these types of posts, I really wanna hop into the conversation. On Roblox the latest years, the idea of making a “simulator” has been ripped off and has become very popular only for profiting from them and not actually make a really good game out of it. If you want to create an original and unique simulation, make it. I wouldn’t recommend making games that are the same concept with any other just with a different name and different “tool”. I admire peoples’ inspiration from these games but I do not admire them, re-creating the same concept with a different name. Mind I’m speaking generally and not about you, neither I mention someone. Simulations have been reformed to a different meaning and reasoning to make them on Roblox and that’s seriously really disappointing because there are a lot fun ones either on Steam or the gaming community.
Make sure to also understand this is a tip and note for you to make before making a game. Make it unique and not the same concept with another one, just with a different name.
Although I said it’s a tip, you take it personally. Tho because I saw the whole video the concept is the same. I can find the same concept games on Roblox.
Well, one… That’s only a little bit of gameplay, there’s still a lot to come. We haven’t added in that twist that, thus I didn’t and couldn’t show it. And I do like your tip, and it helps a lot with development.
The basic idea for most simulators is to make you spend money early on, and then get bored after you get to a certain threshold because it’s just the same; tedious, click on item to earn currency to simply spend on items that will give you more currency or hold more of it!
There is this game I absolutely love to bits called King Simulator, because it’s really different from all the others, it has building mechanics similar to Miner’s Haven, and you get to control and army and do all this really fun stuff that to a lot of people, is refreshing and a cool idea. Try to branch out! Make the game unique in it’s own light, maybe use hammers to sqaush enemies to then get currency to then participate in Player-Versus-Player events! Things like that are cool, and ideas that haven’t been drained of all their possible liking.
All-in-all, just try to make the game unique in it’s own way, things like random small events, or in-game Tournaments to earn some sort of prize are lovely ideas that could help.
Of course! This game will be unique in its own way. And there will probably be some in game tournament against AI. But that’s not the twist I was talking about!
