heyo I’m looking for a long-term project idea, literally anything. If anyone wants to collaborate, I’m down. just need something to do 
thanks!!
A lot of tower defense games are pretty much all the same, why not try and make a TD game with more unique gameplay?
E.g. enemies can go wherever they want, so towers can go wherever as long as it doesn’t block a path to the exit
Or, mix it with RNG and give players randomly generated towers.
Or both.
Not a huge fan of tower defense games to be honest, the development is incredibly linear in my opinion. Game idea’s cool though. Much appreciated!

Tower defense is a very vague genre. What you see on Roblox is not everything the genre has to offer. It’s defined by “bad guys walk to exit, you place tower to stop”. Okay, so you could also make an game in which you have one tower that you upgrade, and enemies come from all directions. Or, you could mix it with a tycoon game and have players build out a factory while enemies attack them, requiring them to strategically place defense buildings, alongside profit.
Thinking of unique game ideas requires you to think outside the box.
Here’s an idea: Take a bunch of genres, put them on a wheel, and spin it. Take two genres, and mix them. Or, take a bunch of games and do that. Or, mix a game and a genre. For instance, “roguelike + tycoon.” How could that work? At first, they seem mutually exclusive. But, remember: what you see on Roblox is not everything the genre has to offer. Off of Roblox, Tycoon games are a lot more. Maybe, you play as the Big Bad Evil Guy and are excavating a dungeon in a fantasy world, and adventurers come to kill you. If they do kill you, you die and start over (and, if you want it to be a roguelite, you can give the player a metacurrency). For that idea, think Dwarf Fortress style building, but with NPC adventurers entering your dungeon and attempting to reach a goal (which could be your treasury and/or throne room). If you don’t know what Dwarf Fortress is, it is basically a base builder world simulation strategy game.
I love it. You down to collaborate on it?

Oof, I might be able to help here and there but probably not as much as you’d want. If you have anything specific you want me to make, DM me. I won’t go into Team Create as I’ve had “experiences” with that in the past.
