This post is so you can give your opinion on what you think. I’m not here to argue, just would like to find out if it is worth it.
Over the past few weeks I’ve been seeing on the Dev Forum posts like, “You can’t launch a game as a nobody” or ROBLOX Devs are slow and lazy - But its not their fault", I just want to clear up that yes having the ability to own, develop and lead a game or team is difficult and very very expensive. What I’d like to do is take you on a short adventure to see if this is something you as developers would be interested in seeing on the platform before anymore work is completed.
What I am looking for;
I’m currently developing an ambitious, story-driven game here on ROBLOX called Assassin’s Echo and I’m now giving the opportunity to other developers on this website to give their opinion, have an interest or even give feedback. Originally I was going to add in investors however I would like to see what you would think before that option comes up.
This isn’t just another Roblox game or a quick cash grab, it would be a long-term, lore-rich project designed to deliver an immersive, emotionally-driven experience that blends stealth mechanics, narrative progression and both Single-player and multiplayer gameplay. Obviously I would love to connect with more developers however with severe social anxiety this post alone is something that pushes me beyond my comfort zone.
- What is it I’m trying to do?
Assassin’s Echo is an original title inspired by the immersive worldbuilding and depth of games similar to Assassin’s Creed, However with its own twist, here is what makes it unique:
A Dual-Reality World
Players would begin their journey inside a Futuristic facility using an advanced simulation device called the Echo Core. Through it, they relive memories of intelligent and skilful historic people, explore historical timelines and unlock secrets that alter both their digital lineage and the real-world simulation they’re trapped in.
Diverse Worlds & Timelines
Each memory will lead to a different setting; A war-torn medieval city, a desert island full of secrets, an underground resistance in a dystopian future and more! We already have part of the futuristic world developed, including;
- A Dynamic intro sequence
- Custom NPC AI with dialogue
- Teleportation animation effects
- A Stylized healthbar UI
- And more, all within a clean modular structure.
Single-player & Multiplayer blend:
The Echo Core sequences will be single player to maintain immersion and performance. The real real adventure will fully begin upon entering the Echo Core which will give many different kinds of features, such as Social interactions, missions, Decision making consequences that affect both Inside and outside the Echo Core.
Gameplay Features (Some completed & Some planned)
- Custom Health UI
*Interactive NPCs with Pathfinding and personality - Realistic environment interaction (Grass, weather, Characters, doors etc)
*Questline engine with emotional narrative arcs
*Companions throughout stages of missions
*Voiceovers & Camera effects
Project Progress & Future Goals:
- Current Progress:
- Roughly I would say it is around 10-15% of core systems are in place. My plan is to create the entire Echo Core world first to allow a tight, story-driven questline. - Short Term goals:
- Polish quest system
- Complete first Echo Core memory map
- Finalize intro & lore delivery
- Begin Closed Alpha/Beta testing
- Create and release playable trailer - Long Term goals:
This game aims to be a flagship title on ROBLOX in terms of story telling & emotional design, we plan to scale up with the following;
- Merchandising potential
- Expanded timelines/memory pakcs
- Custom AI APIs for mental health support (Waiting on hearing back from a few charities I’ve worked with before)
- VR & Accessibility Support
- Community - Driven Story expansions
Why you should support or invest (if you’re interested)
- Massive potential for growth: Roblox’s platform is evolving, and Assassin’s Echo is build to push those boundaries.
- Emotional storytelling: I want players to feel what they are playing, enjoy it and not just feel like its another grindy game where they get bored of it after an hour. It will be built to be returned too.
- Tech Driven design: We would be building tools and reusable systems that could become frameworks for other devs.
- Inclusive Opportunities: This project opens the door for writers, artists & voice actors, not just programmers and 3D modellers. We would be working with each other as a solid team with amazing communication and positive feedback for each person involved in a project.
- Skill & Brand expansion: Supporting this project doesn’t just help the growth of Assassin’s Echo, it expands your experience, reach and legacy not just on ROBLOX but for your life skills or development team itself. You would learn so much while working part of this.
Are you interested?
Understandably this was a very long post and I do apologize, I feel I needed to give an expression with a very detailed description on what this project is. Clearly it means a lot to me to grow not only my own dream but also attempt to help other people with the understanding that nothing is hopeless or too difficult to do.
If you would be interested in something like this feel free to give feedback, constructive criticism or just an initial thought if you’d play something like this.
I have been attempting to reach out to developers however they have been shutting me down with no feedback
Lets build something meaningful, ambitious and unforgettable!
I Have attached images below of our building progress.
Every echo has a story. Every memory leaves a mark.
