I was wondering since Skate 3 is a good game that released in the early 2010’s and it is a open world style game with challenges and much more. Since they use a joystick system using a controller like Xbox you can do different tricks using the joystick by moving them in ways to do thus tricks. I was wondering also if I should make this only on Xbox but at the same time make it for PC using the mouse?
Feedback is appreciated! 
This seems like a monumental task and one of those obscure games that even if its good wont make it to the front page, and believe me I would never wish on another developers down fall. I hope you succeed actually. But the amount of advanced movement along with, using the Roblox physics engine for a game like this seems unfeasible, and if you don’t code yourself (your roll on dev forum is builder) then this is NOT the project you want to undertake. All that being said it seems like is has great monetization potential but skating is so obscure of a game topic, i don’t know about it being popular even if executed well. But honestly dude, Do you. Innovation doesn’t happen by copying everyone else 
I think it sounds like an awesome idea, though it also sounds like the already existing Roblox game Skate Park. I think that if you put the time and effort into this game it would just be shadowed by the other Skate Game on Roblox. I’m not saying you shouldn’t do it, but it might not do too well if that is a concern of yours.
i was thinking about skate park, but that game honestly seemed quite lackluster. There is no reason other developers couldn’t do better. Hes talking a game like skate 3, and to copy some of that games key features is insane.
True, I haven’t really played Skate 3 so I could definitely be wrong. If you where to replicate some of Skate 3’s mechanics, that would honestly be pretty cool!
So true. But wow the physics engine would destroy your dreams, and if you go for a entirely animation controlled system, you are in for a year of work.
That is a good point. Roblox Studio is a very good place to make games, but in all honesty it is obviously not as good as other development studios out there. It provides a nice place to learn how to create games and make money off of them but you can only push it so far. I think that you would have to be very committed if you wanted to make a Skate 3 replica.
It’s really just an idea that came into mind so I’m not sure.
Yeah, this is true and the skate systems on Roblox aren’t that great.
im my opinion it isn’t can roblox do it it is can YOU do it.
Back then you may have asked that but now with things like ROOM 2 and robot 64 they show that roblox can make good quality games.
I had that exact same idea. I was thinking of doing a skate 3 based game once I finished with my current project, using the mouse as you also think of and giving controller support plus mobile support. All it takes is making a movement engine that covers everything necessary on movement types, but I will face the movement once I get there.
I mean we could work together, but I imagine it being simple to do so I feel there’s not a huge need for cooperation other than on building the map which I can’t do because I’m not skilled at.
Hmm do you script of any kind?
I am learning yet, but yeah I do know scripting. Altough what I need to learn is not much, I’m in the amateur stage of scripting but I only have 1 year of experience.
For the code of the skate mechanism I feel like I could be able to do it, but it can get complicated if I don’t do it well.
Maybe we could work together, but I want to finish the first project I’m trying to do…
Yeah maybe, since I have been playing the game for a while I know most spots (Super Ultra Mega Park, Port Carvatron, Campus Entrance, etc) So I might be able to build them.
Hey. No. Don’t try and replicate the game. You don’t want to make the exact same game, you want to make your own game, inspired by it.
Yes, there can be a giant skate park, there can be a park leading to a giant shark, there can be any of it, but if you want to make a game, doesn’t matter if it’s roblox, you don’t want to make the exact same game, you don’t want to put skate 3 for the title, you want to make your own skate game, which was inspired by skate 3.
Do you know about the fatal destiny of roblox games which take the name of a brand game and utilize it in their work? There was a lot of star wars games that people took time to make, then comes Disney and takes them down, then comes the new delusional people who will do the next star wars games and, then, they get their games shut down. There was a lot of Pokémon games back in the day, all of them had to be changed or just removed after nintendo got involved in the platform.
The skate game can work, just not as a skate 3 replica. the competence on skate games is similar to nonexistent, but you don’t replicate games. It will take your best efforts to design an interesting map of a skate utopia, build places that would be interesting to skate at, then we have something good. It will take your entire stock of creativity to do it, but so be it, here’s when you use it.
but you could do this. You can tie whole functions to if playing statements. Say sprint key. You would detect if a key is pressed and then play animation and increase movement speed. But. IN skating case you could tie wasd to leaning movements and then add aditional movement functions. I dont think the animations are the hard part just the movement itself. but the animatiing can be tedius if you use procedural animation which would be the better way to do the animations in a skating game.
exactly this. A skate 3 for roblox i believe is entirely possible now at least or something close to it. AT Least animations wise. I don’t see why you cant time a an ollie animation with a jump animation to make it look like youre actualling doing an ollie. ALl you have to figure out is smooth movement through aceeleration math and momentum stuff etc. It’s a lot of work but its possible.
Theres an anime gaming being made rn and the mechanics are rooller blade combat and racing. They made it so you could not only grind on rails pretty smoothly too and do some in air tricks.
its possible just no one wants to do it. Skating has been a buried underdeveloped genre since they got rid of genres.
Yes this is why skate games started losing popularity since it died off like all games do, it might be possible to revive this with the skate 4 game that is coming sometime soon and we might be able to revive skating on Roblox since most new players don’t probably know skate games even existed.
I know it’s late but I was thinking of making a game like skate 3 but a little different and maybe mixed with jet set radio but it’ll probably never happen and if somebody does truly capture the essence that skate 3 has it will probably just be a spiritual succeser instead of directly copying the game but there are probably a lot more answers to this but im glad to see peoples thoughts on skate 3 mixed with Roblox
