hello, so i’ve been searching for a decent game idea, the truth of life, my dad, among other things. anyways i have what i think is a pretty solid idea, i just need some help refining it.
the basis;
inspired by Isle, escape from tarkov (the story aspect of tarkov), and stalker anomaly
game is called Urbana, it’s similar to Isle as players would be dropped in or spawned (unsure yet, we can discuss) into some sort of abandoned landscape with light urban environments and a mix of suburban, similar to anomaly. the whole idea is that there’s more to the game, more to explore than just the surface. It’s the same technique with Isle. on the surface, its a simple game but as you play you can feel a sense that “there’s more to this.”
I have an absolute ton of ideas. My general concept is that people will explore in groups, or factions (mercenary groups) with friends or others. You can earn badges and titles, and in-game money ( will elaborate in a bit ). Badges and titles can earn specific difficulties and modifiers, bonuses and special game modes ( similar to isle).
Your team can pay to deploy in a vehicle, or you can customize the weaponry and gear you deploy with. Vehicles have simulated destruction models for each part.
What do you do in the game? Well generally I’m not sure. That’s why I’m asking here, because I want opinions on my idea, and ways to improve it. I’d like to go off the idea that Isle carries, where the main objective is to survive and extract with the most amount of money, and earn badges, etc.
I want to inherit the idea of mutants and anomalies from stalker, but in a very (can’t figure out the word) way. As you explore more, you notice things aren’t normal. Some items will just float, there’s mutated monsters, ghost sightings ( based on sanity, will elaborate ), cars will randomly start, people will reanimate ( zombies? ), all the above things that you’d see in a science fiction horror. As you travel further into the (island, map, region no clue) you’ll encounter more. There will be a full story aspect I hope explaining the mutants, etc. But I hope it’s a driving force for people to explore and continue playing.
Now, I know Tarkov isn’t fun, I don’t play Tarkov, because, well, it really isn’t fun. I know people get a certain dopamine rush about knowing that thirty-hours of gear can be gone in less the human reaction time, from a place you didn’t even know had a visual on you, through a bush, from five kilometers away, but honestly, I don’t.
Isle incorporates a thing called “The Unknown” which I consider a form of sanity. After killing three players, a white creature with black eyes will often make an appearance, and after a while he’ll hunt you in your sleep. Generally myself and others believe that this is a method of deterring players from killing each other, but it’s ironically caused it to be a notoriously sought after achievement ( getting killed by the White Man ).
For my sanity, my general thesis is that if you witness someone else die, (whether you killed them or not), you have a chance to become insane. Your eyes will twitch on your character, so will your arm and maybe head too ( was also thinking about adding custom faces ). Once you become insane, you aren’t safe. Every creature that depends on insanity will chase you. You will see people, yourself, and be hunted for the rest of your time in that match. The only way to cure insanity is through medicine (probably going to be rare, and found only in hospitals, which will be heavily defended AI strongholds (?))
Oh yea, and while you’re insane, you can become suicidal (happens after around 20 minutes of being insane). If you try to throw a grenade, you’ll pull the pin and release the spoon but it won’t come out of your hands. If you try to stab with a melee, you’ll turn it against your throat. If you have a gun and try to shoot it, you’ll shoot yourself. I don’t know what ROBLOX would think of this, and that’s why I’m hear to ask about it, it wouldn’t be detailed or graphic, just you hear an audio cue and then your screen goes black.
Thanks for listening to my psychotic rant. Hope you guys like my game idea.
or just ban <13 people from the game so roblox doesnt terminate you.
