Hello everyone! AgentL06 here,
Today i wanted to ask you all how should I and developers start a game. I am currently Working on My New Game,“The Final Chronicles” in studio and by script (being to organize events and additions to the game). I was wondering and which I am quite stumped, How should I start the Process in Studio? I started to build thinking of what I was expecting and got quite confused for I just building my first map in the game for the game will function off of a GUI lobby and have a background. Here are some things i have thought about that may help to start things up and running.
Game Script (Organizing things especially in this kind of game.)
Blueprints for structures such as my first map.(on the bridge between if I should change it or not.)
Script Blueprints for The Scripting of the game and how to organize it.)
Lore Script (Keeping the story and or Stories organized)
also while working what helps you keep focused? I try to listen to music but i spend too much time thinking of which album or artist to listen to.
Anyways that is all I have for now, Let me know what you think could help out!
Thanks a ton
I totally agree, I also find reference images of what I want to build online for instance something from google and then write down a basic concept of it. This game is going to be a Chapter involved game but i don’t want to spoil the storyline for what I have down so far all I’ll say is that it is going to be a much different roblox game. Might actually consider getting a dev partner for it but I don’t know anyone, anyways for now it’ll be an indie game by me Thanks a ton!
Similar to what @BaggyChris said, I’d brainstorm some ideas at first such as what type of game do you want to make. You also have to ask yourself some questions like:
“What type of game is it? Will it be a FPS? Maybe a platformer or a RPG?”
“What is the pace of the game? Is it going to be fast-paced where you need quick reactions, or is it going to be a steady pace where the player can do their actions without the threat of something happening?”
“Is there already another game that is just like my idea? If so, how could I make it stand out?”
“Will players enjoy the game and what type of community am I directing the game to?”
For all of the Awesome repliers of this section-
Thanks so much! I will tell you guys a little more info on what i already have to answer some of the Awesome replies, Thanks so much!
it is Sci-fi horror but will probably be listed as horror
There will be jump scares
Weird but it is a prequel to another story I have in mind
It is a escape game but with different challenges per Chapter
the community is not really directed I will try to make it as available as possible
It will stand out (Cant explain why because it may spoil the gameplay)
The game has numerous characters already for Chapter 1
Yes it will be similar to piggy in a way But believe me like @PortABoi said I will break the trend of bad and Clear rip off’s of Piggy.
The story is not inspired by anything I have completely created it all.
The games will last about 10 minutes
Gameplay will differ from each Chapter so expect something new and a new challenge for each chapter so gameplay is not just the same thing.
Did that answer all of your questions? XD i just wanted to say thank you all so much and have a good day.
I try to think of some ideas for a game. I normally play an indie game for some inspiration. I then try to draw out some concept art or find photos of what objects I want in the game to use as a reference. Then I would start building and find a design I like when building objects.
