What can i do to actually make a game?

I don’t know if this is the right category(hope it does now) but anyway, i was wondering something related to game genre. Should i pursue something like Base Battle but in FPS mode? And i want to get some robux to hire some other people to make other parts of my desire game like builder , modeler, …(of course i do the scripting). But i really don’t know how i could have a job related to scripting. I’ve been learning scripting for a few years since the beginning of 2019 but i haven’t had any single project or even try to apply to one of it. I also tried to work for free in a studio that have the policy( " you’ll get pay after the game makes some profit") but honestly, it is horribly terrible. They don’t manage their team pretty well and hire too many people at the same time to do different segments and also the genre that they pursued is not very appealing to me( Egg hunt). When i try asking the leader directly what i could do to help, he just told me to meet the manager and when i met the manager, he just told me to meet the leader again. I was so frustrated so i decided to quit working for them.
The question is “ How do i have a job related to scripting?
Is it plausible to find some robux to hire those people or i could just use the policy " you’ll get pay after the game makes some profit" because i don’t have a lot of friends and connections to actually tell them to help me out?
Should i do another genre which is the opposite of what i wanted because my brother told me that a game called Mano County, a role play game was hiring scripters to do different jobs for them, i like to know you guys opinion on this?

Also, sorry for recreating this topic twice because the last one was removed due to unsuitable category and i really hope that this category is correct now.

This was really hard to read for some reason… I dont know if its grammer or what but from what I got your asking if its a good idea to hire people? Hiring people can be good and bad, you cant just go up to someone and ask “Hey want to help me with my game?”

Games are not easy to make, especially a good one. I recommend if your going to start a big project to plan it out, and be really comfortable with studio and lua. Keep it organized and work hard.

Hope this helps, again not really sure what was being asked.

I wrote a whole essay but deleted it… anyways

Yes, like Alex said, organization is important. Don’t just do it because you are desperate for money or fame. Unless you’re getting paid to do a job or some other reasons I don’t know.
I don’t know how much you know about scripting but here are some games you can make for the time being:

  • Color Apple
    a game where when you touch an apple your body color changes
  • Shifting maze
    a game where walls constantly shift and move once in a while to change the maze pattern so it makes it harder for a player to find the exit
  • some horror game
    horror game such as running from a killer, a story mode about some haunted house

these are just some ideas. and when you do finally make a game it’ll take a while for your game to get interesting. you can promote you game or it’ll just randomly start getting popular, it really depends.
as for getting robux from your games you make, I do have that but it only depends as to how much premuim players play your game, it can be from 1 robux to 100+ robux, again it depends, but if you keep trying you can find your own interest and stop relying on finding someone to hire you so you can make your game all by yourself.

Here’s a game I made a while ago that made me some robux:

Here’s a game where I put time and effort and didn’t get much robux:

Ye it really depends but hope you find your motive, these are just examples, and im just trying to say in short: rely on yourself more and do things yourself.

sorry for my english, thank you for your advice

and thank you for you too. I appreciate your opinion either

You are trying to pursue hiring as a scripter when you don’t have any portfolio.

Any trustworthy employer would want to hire somebody with a good portfolio, and checking your profile, you don’t have any previous work to reference.

I would work on making a small project, as proof that you can script.

oh ok, that is a good advice, so should i apply into Mano County( it is a simple roleplay game. i think, i don’t want to offend anyone)?

I don’t think Mano County is the way to go. The game itself seems kind of shady, and I’m not sure if you’d get paid. Besides, what I meant was that you are better off starting your own project, this way, it has your name on it, and is probably much better in a portfolio.

that is helpful. Thanks a lot for sharing your opinion
