Alright hey!

So I created this pretty ̶u̶n̶i̶q̶u̶e̶ sandbox freecam type game which I guess really isn’t a full fledge game but more like a protoype…

Anyways, so basically the basis for the game is pretty simple so, there is a gem at the center of the map,

And you have to build structures around it to protect it, you can place structures

You can also place mobs aswell, currently only a zombie…

When you place down a mob it will rush to the gem, breaking through structures, so yeah thats literally it, I feel like I could completley change the game up but I just need some fresh eyes on this and some good ideas, Im welcome to any ideas you may have

Thanks!

This looks like it has some very real potential to become a great game! :+1: :smile:

However, the one thing I think is missing is a base theme.

  • It’s very generic: a typical diamond, flat white baseplate and typical zombies. Come up with a unique theme that pleases you and that you think will please other players.

  • Or, even have multiple themes on a round-basis:
    A city theme one round - where your barricades are vehicles and lampposts, you’re protecting a bank and the enemies are criminals.
    A majestic theme the next round - a turquoise-grass, floating island landscape, your barricades are forcefields, you’re protecting a unicorn, the enemies are goblins.
    A classic Roblox theme - a blocky and studded landscape, you’re protecting Builderman or a Guest, your barricades are the brick walls from the shovel tool, and your enemies are R15 characters (lol), or hackers.

Overall, this needs a theme to become iconic and memorable as an experience for a player.

Best of luck to you & your game! Looks very promising & fun, i’d love to play it :+1: :smiley:
