Hello! My name is CRAZYDIAMONDDOO!

I am planning on making a simplistic easy to script game that I can make in one month. I have previous scripting experience in Unity C#. I am not very familiar with scripting Lua, every time I try to script it usually doesn’t end well. I was wondering If there are any easy to make game ideas that beginner/novice programmers (Like me) can make. I am already a talented 3D modeler that can make meshes and more! I was wondering if I could receive a few tip to kick-start my developing career on Roblox!

Thank you for reading this article!

I think you should start with obbys, or City roleplay, this stuff would be kinda easy to script.

Check out Studio+, a friend of mine learned to code thoroughly from it.

Any specific areas/genres that you are interested in? That would be a good place to start.

I would recommend making a tycoon, it’s sort of popular and there is a kit top start you off with. It’s really simple to build and to script.

Here are some game types that don’t require heavy scripting:

  • Obbys / Speed runs / Jumpers
  • Games focused on adventure, not actual items.
  • Horror Survival (the most scripting you need is the enemy)
  • Suspense (nothing really happens, just dark and creepy)
  • Social Experiences that are more reliant on players than game
  • Roleplay (which is technically a sub-category under social experiences)

A Simulator.

I’m not joking. I’ve taught several people and one of the things we’ve made together is pretty special to me. This isn’t gonna be the most optimized game, nor is it gonna be the most interactive, or the best game. It’s the beginning. And people right now are probably already gonna complain. So, here we go.

Showering Simulator

In this game, I taught this student to make the show create a clone of the “water” part from the ReplicatedStorage, each water part has a script, when it gets touched, delete it. That’s the game. If the student wants, they can add DataStorage and leader-boards so each water you touch increases your “clean” value.

Pretty simple.
