All of this seems pretty epic.

Here are some ideas:
Maybe the rocket parts could need materials to craft.
Maybe currency, earn more money when you achieve a higher altitude, more achievements(moon landing successful return, the whatnot)
Maybe you could have them able to build rockets from scratch, while also having premade rocket parts.

You could do spacesuit flags for people, and maybe you could add mission control center, which counts till liftoff.

Honest poll, would you be interested in playing? I want to know about the player so that I can make sure it is good/bad!

Would you play?

Possibly, I dont see it as a good idea.

Would be great if you could add like where you can customise the rocket or atleast build the rocket, Would attract lots of space fans and I am interested to play it when its out! :grin:

Absolutely, me and my other developer are working hard on it! I hope you enjoy it! :star_struck:

When all the high priorities are done, maybe you can add missions like successfully launching a satellite.

Thank you for the amazing idea, I will add it on our trello!

#34

Iā€™d be up for that! (ack 1 day late)

As I saw earlier, Iā€™d say best way for the thrusters is to do it how Chillz Studioā€™s Build A Boat For Treasure - Roblox did, i.e adjust thruster speed and power

#35

Yup, I have it planned, would you fancy being a tester?

#36

Sure why not :upside_down_face:

Itā€™s very hard to extend a ā€œsureā€ to minimum required

Iā€™m going to say this right now: the idea is good, but I think it will lack the execution needed to complete it, along with multiple game design flaws.

First of all, you need to figure out the technical aspect of all of this. Explore the edge of space? You are going to need to conserve memory space before you can do that. That sounded rude, but like I said, I want to lay the facts our straight, and that is that this is going to take up a lot of memory. Being sure the client isnā€™t bogged down is going to be a constant issue.

Second of all, the rocket part seems cool. You have made detailed plans for how the rocket can land, how progression would work, all of which is great. However, what are you going to do with the rocket? Why would I fly anywhere, if there is nothing to do? Am I just going to be piloting a rocket into nowhere. This is a fundamental question that needs to be addressed.

Third of all, this:

It sounds good on paper, but hereā€™s the thing: a game should not have to be so complicated that you need a manual. It is fine to have an interactive tutorial, but players will most likely get bored very quickly, and either just fly without the manual, or just simply leave, thinking the game is too complicated.

Finally, building a rocket. Two great games combined can become a mediocre game. Hereā€™s what I mean:

If I am being honest, that sounds great, and it would make for quite a fun game. However, then there is this:

This also has the potential to be a very fun game! But what will likely happen if you combine them together is that somebody makes a rocket. Turns out it malfunctions, and they are stuck in space. They continuously test the rocket, but due to that it breaks so far on, it takes forever to get back. The player, feeling dejected leaves. My point is that combining the two together means that the explorers feel dejected because they cannot build the rocket, and the builders dejected because they find the piloting too hard.

Answer these fundamental questions for me, and then I would be able to make a decision on whether this game is a good idea or a bad idea.

But Build a Boat for treasure did not build an entire solar system. They also made sure that the piloting function was only accessible if people truly wanted it, meaning that both the explorers and builders were satisfied.

Good idea, iā€™d probably play it myself for a while.

I know its ā€œcomplicatedā€ but I cannot share everything, by manual; I meant tutorial. If it malfunctions, weā€™ll have something planned. The rocket building is also up to them, piloting is also up to them. With the rocket, you can fly to planets, and other places which I cant share yetā€¦ I really appreciate your time writing that!

#41

But what would you do on those planets?
