A game where players are put into two teams and fight eachother in ships (each player has their own ship)
A game where players fight free-for-all in their own ships
I was thinking the free-for-all idea would give me opportunity to add more cutomization to ships but the team one would maybe be a bit more fun. I don’t know.
Two teams but people have their own ships
Why not have a rotating game mode setup? If your idea is only one, then I agree with DevChris, where two teams battle out but each player has their own ship.
Definitely doing map/game mode rotation.
The most important part is making sure your players want to keep playing. Map and game mode rotation would definitely help with that. Additionally, make sure to include some sort of currency and items (I’m sure you already had this planned lol) so that players have something they want and can work to it.
Fighting as teams on separate ships promotes teamwork and therefore brings out the social aspect focused on so much in Roblox, so I would recommend that.
Free-for-all can be difficult when confined to small spaces because when a player spawns there is likely a couple people very close ready to attack them, so in this type of setting I would not recommend that mode, though doing both to create variety could work.
Fighting as teams as NovaCoepta says, plus from a group aspect, individuals would be more inclined to host “game nights” there with their groups or even make groups based on your game as crews.
Do both! You could split it into different gamemodes through a round-based system. Doing so will also keep the game from becoming stale.
If I had to pick, a free-for-all would probably be better of the two. Though, I highly suggest doing both.
Im all for Free For All, as you said more customizations and more freedom to the player. Maybe in the future you can make some team gamemode like Duo or Squads
I like the idea of custom ships, where the layers can maybe upgrade armaments or the style/color of the ship. If you’re going for the “Team Death match”, I would prefer you keep it classic with a Blue/Red layout and concept with displayed armaments on the ship. Also, players should have their own individual weaponry like; Swords, Guns, and Bombs.
