Hello everyone, I’ve recently started working on a game, I’m not rushing and I’m actually putting efforts to this unlike other projects I’ve started, but recently I got into a problem where I’m gonna need to build a lobby place for the game, the problem is that I don’t have any ideas, I tried thinking for a few days, asked a friend for help, but nothing really came to my mind. The game is a round game where you need to survive a specific amount of minutes to win (kinda like natural disaster but I’m planning on making it different), I already made a few maps where the game will be played but I need to make a lobby and don’t have any idea of what to do, I’m looking for it to be a nice spawn that can match the game’s vibes, if anyone got any ideas please let me know! Thank you!
Let’s start off from the themes for now,
what type of theme do you want it to be?
- Medieval?
- Steampunk?
- Futuristic?
By choosing a theme, you could narrow it down to just a few aspects.
But as for me, I will suggest something where you can see the leaderboards in a unique way, for example, for a medieval theme you can put the wins leaderboard in a dungeon’s treasure room.
But it can also be for the shops, such as for a boost/modifier store in a futuristic theme, maybe in a laboratory where there is a Scientist NPC.
And if you want to, you can add a voting area but with a unique style. For example, in a steampunk theme, there’ll be three maps, The Oil plant, The Airship, and The mines, instead of just a 2d image of the map, why not add a 3D representation of the map? Like in the Airship map, there’ll be a zeppelin, but if the Mines it’ll show a cave.
Overall these are just my suggestions, hopefully I have helped! : D
OK so to just sum up all what the person above have to say. If you’re asking for ideas that matches your theme gives us an image at least??? (Btw im totally down to build you a quick demo place that actually looks fine).
I don’t really have a theme… the maps for the game are just random and I’m trying to make the lobby just kinda random too, I’m not really going for a specific theme which might be why it’s harder for me to think of ideas
ah, I see. How about something where you split the lobby into sections, and those sections have their individual themes? As I mentioned you can use the required game mechanics for the separation of the lobby.
Basically like a theme park, there are parts of a theme park with their own theme.
Reference on how like will this work:
Legends:
- Gray = Spawn
- Green = Main Grassland
- Orange = Steampunk
- Blue = Futuristic
- Gray Square = Cave
You can also make it blend in with the surroundings like it casually fades. But for the futuristic Area, since it’s detached from the Sky Island lobby, there’s no need for fading.
For the cave, you can just make it like the background mountain.
But it is your game after all, so you do the deciding! :D
We still need an image??? How can anyone focus on helping the thing you ask for when they all need to imagine their little interpretation about your game?
Ye that’s really good thank you! I already started working on the map and you just helped me get more ideas, thanks!
