What am I working on?
I am working on a Lord of the Rings inspired, Middle-Earth type game in Roblox.
How will it all function?
It will be an open world game, where you can explore cool areas and places, and complete quests. You also can follow a main story mode, that would be vast and be detailed.
What is the post about?
I have a question that I need to be answered. What concept should I focus on making next?
The way I see it, you could go about it two ways.
I think doing the actual world would be a very big undertaking, but the result could help gain traction for your game idea. Plus, then you could build your mechanics and characters around the world you built. Sort of like creating a “canvas” to build the rest of your game around.
Doing the characters and mechanics first might be better to prevent dev burnout. And if it turns out you do not want to keep with the Middle-Earth theme for the game, you could reuse those assets for a different idea that would still utilize what you already created.
Hm, that’s a good way to think about it. Thank you for the response!
