Hi, i making a rpg game now i and i have a problem, when i trying to make something hard to script, i’m think how i can start this and then lose motivation. Can you give me tips how you think about new project and how you start it, i wan’t universal tips what to do, because some parts of game are different and problem is for all of them
I don’t think #help-and-feedback:scripting-support isn’t the right place for your post. But that could just be me, I’m still relatively new to Roblox Forums, so correct me if I’m wrong.
Though, here are some tips I can suggest to give out to you:
-
Have 1-2 Friends help you out to make Games and separate the Workload from everyone. ex: You work on Scripting, someone works on Building, someone works of Arts and Details.
-
Its not always easy to start a Big Project, but start small with the things you can only achieve for the mean time:
2.A. try to make a Roadmap or List the things you need to finish, includes the Core Stuff in your games, separate the minor stuff you can do versus the major stuff you can’t achieve atm, and at the last, put the things you don’t necessarily need for the basic components of your game (Mostly, for aesthetic wise) -
Take breaks, reward yourself after 1 accomplishment even if its just a small one.
-
Don’t get pressured by finishing the game as fast as you can, it will drain your energy and make you lose motivation.
4.A. You typically don’t have deadlines in doing solo-projects as this one. -
Make a Community (like a server) or a Post here on Forum, to keep up-to-date for your game’s updates, hearing other feedbacks makes it helpful too.
-
Don’t be scared to ask if you have any questions about a script you think you are unsure, learning from others is the best way to progress.
-
Watch tutorials in which you are struggling to make, it will help you figure out what you need to do correctly and finish.
-
And lastly, there is always a Forum Post regarding a issue you are struggling with, try to search at Forum for the Help. If it doesn’t show up, you can always do a new post and help will always come around.
Other Tips:
-
Try to listen to music, specifically music that are upbeat and gets you really working on the mood.
-
Don’t bring yourself down telling yourself that: “I can’t do this”, “this is impossible”. Went through it, took me 2 years to start again on my project when that happened.
-
Listen to podcasts, etc.
For me, I find scripting both irritating and self-rewarding, because the amount I spend on scripting and the results are always paid off even if it doesn’t look as big as those big games in the front page.
