Help with game idea

Hello, so I have this partially thought up game idea. It’s going to be similar to Super Paper Mario, as in it’s going to be 2D, the view when you walk into buildings will be similar, you can make recipes, etc.

The thing is, I don’t want to make the “main thing” fighting monsters to get coins. You’re still going to collect coins I just don’t want to include the monsters. I had an idea, such as controlling some sort of vehicle with commands, but what would be the purpose of controlling it? Is the player searching for something, completing puzzles? Maybe not include the vehicle and the player is just completing puzzles? I’m hoping to include some sort of storyline along the way. Does anyone have any ideas for what could be the “main thing” for my game?

So, just to confirm, the idea is Super Paper Mario except with something else instead of monsters?

If so, isn’t that kind of your job to figure out?

Yes, but there’s going to be more stuff that I’m adding in, so it isn’t going to be all that similar to Super Paper Mario. I also wouldn’t label myself as creative so I’m looking to the community to help me.

I’d suggest coming up with a few Ideas then creating a devforum poll to see which one would be the most popular among players. This way I think more people will reply and help you more with ideas/ help you expand on your ideas.

Good luck!
