Need Help Choosing A Game To Make

Hey guys, I have recently been thinking of starting my own game, I can script, make UI’s etc., so I believe I am capable

I haven’t started on any of these and would like your honest opinion.

Risky Swords :
Lobby with intermission, shops with cosmetics, load into game with swords. Swords like combat warriors with similar cinematic executions, different game modes such as: Protect Hostages (red vs blue), Free For All, Duo, Squad, this game will be completelty skill based but I’m not sure if it will gather much revenue or if I will even have the time to complete such a high quality game but at the same time it seems like a fun and new experience.

Snowy Hills :
One person is chosen to start at the top of the hill while all the others are at the bottom, the person at the top will be able to throw down big snowballs, cars, trains, etc. it all varies. I plan to have a shop where you can buy these items with “coins”, snowballs are starter items, you can get other items from crates, I think this would be a fun idea because it would encourage people to buy coins or play the game often. Just think about throwing an entire train to people running up a hill. The people coming up the hill will have high mobility to make it fair (sliding, rolling, sprinting) ; I think this would be good revenue-wise but it seems boring to pursue alone and would be much more fun to do with a crew. It is also not a super original idea because there are already games like this but they don’t have all the unique features I am implementing.

Murim Simulator :
Similar to anime souls simulator, just beat stuff up, get special skills, increase your internal energy, do quests, big open world, MAYBE mobs that fight back? And if I do that I’ll add a combat system with parrying and stuff ; not to sure on this. (Doesn’t seem like a good idea to pursue because I doubt many people know what murim means considering Roblox’s playerbase is quite young.

1: Fighting Game
2: Survival Game
3: Simulator Game

Please give me some unique idea’s of your own, I would love to hear them!
If your also interested in any of these idea’s I would enjoy having a partner to work with!

I think the last one will not work, Roblox is already overloaded with Simulators, so unless it has something very uniqe it’s not gonna work, I like the second on e the most, as it seems pretty unique, just add something taht makes it even more uniqe, I don’t think the first is too good, but I don’t have feedback on taht

Thanks for your opinion, I also think the second one seems like a pretty good idea.

But I’m not sure if I can make it as I envision it, it will also need a lot of time to make because of all the unique features I want involved in it. Since it’s not like a Simulator game where people can just farm overnight so I would need a lot of content to keep them involved and have them frequently revisiting the game.

Take your time, and put in all of your ideas you thin. Can fit, that’s how you create a good Game, also try adding something very uniqe, like quests (not like, win 10 times) a story (very hard to implement) and something like events, hope you are gonna be able to get the best out of the Game!

I would say to go with the second option.

the reason behind that is like Dede said, there are too many simulators, so it would take a lot more effort to gain popularity. Sometimes, unless you make it properly, they can also be boring, losing the user’s attention quickly.

There are also a lot of melee and firearm weapons games. You could get the swords game to work if you had some distinguishing property. For instance, a new game mode, appealing graphics, or a new weapons class. Something that will make it different from the rest of the same games.

the best games are games that have unique gameplay

Also don’t forget that Simulators are mostly builds, so if you’re not a Builder creating an appealing Simulator will prove very hard, and the scripting is pretty hard, as you have to do all of the features, most Simulators have prices always going up, meaning you need some kind of algorithm for taht and it’s hard to create, and then most of them have double-jumps and etc.
Side note: please when you mention people use the @, as it will notify the person, like thsi:

Oops, I forgot to use the tag!

Most simulators have outrageous amounts of game passes and DLCs

The 2nd one is not only an original game idea (or at least one I’ve never heard of before) but it also sounds fun!

You should definitely add NPCs to the game so that it isn’t boring to play alone.

I like the snowy hills game. I would play it and it sounds very fun. Seems similar to Deathrun but with a completely different style.
