Hi everyone!
I am new to developing games and place was was wondering if you could give me some feed back and inspiration on the idea i have. My idea is a game where you make money of different sectors. These include real estate (being able to design/build estates and cities), criminal path (You hire npc`s and choose gear for them to rob places) and business chains where can can choose to make a chain of certain business (fitness, restaurants, clothing store etc). I was wondering if you could give me some ideas of how the game would work/play.
Thanks, boboo

To me, this sounds like a game that would be one-player and taken place from an aerial angle. Kinda like roller coaster tycoon and sims. But I can also see it as a multiplayer game where you can walk around as well.
I think to start it off, you could have the player pick a path when they join, and they get teleported to an empty plot. Depending on your role, the more money you make the more things you can buy on your plot. The real estate, criminal, and business chain all have different outcomes for their plots. Real estate, you could be building a mansion. For criminal, you could be building an apartment building. Business chain, you could build a nice house or something. These are just some basic ideas that I thought up of when I read your game idea. Hope this helps!

Seems like an interesting game idea!
Being able to control npcs to do stuff such as āgo to workā,ārob that buildingā would be very cool, designing cities also seems interesting, but reading your post left me with some questions,would you be able to control your cities population?
Can we engage on wars with other players?
Would there be random events such as āpower surgeā, ānatural disasterā on the game?
There sure are alot of questions left but Iām just curious 
But yes you game haves a potential,the idea is interesting and I donāt believe games like that are made very often on roblox.
If you put lots of effort on it,you can gets a lot of visits!
Since youāre a beginner developer I may give you some tips:
-Write down what you want to make.
Sometimes taking everything out of the head is hard and tiresome which can make you struggle when doing a specific task so sitting down and writing what you want to acheive can help you get to the point quicker!
-Sketching.
Want to make a building but donāt know how you want it to look like or it just looks wrong for you? Sketch! Sketching usually helps me a lot when Iām looking to build something from scratch.
-Take references.
Want to build a skyscraper and sketching isnāt working? Try searching for images!
-Study other games.
Specially the front page games,check how they apply their in game currency system,how do they ask players to buy gamepasses and such,doing this may help you understand how big games work
-Donāt know something? Check for tutorials or dev reference.
Donāt be afraid to search or shy to ask, if you donāt know how to do a specific task,if there aināt a tutorial many people here on the devforum will help you with you!
-And for last,NEVER GIVE UP!!
No one makes a big game from scratch and get it on the front page in 2 hours,it will take time. But itās important that you keep working on your game even if the way to the top is hard.
Good luck on the development! And I hope to see that game on the front page soon
