Which type of game do you suggest?

Greetings fellow developers!
I’m in the mood to start on a new ROBLOX game for this fall.
Here is the question(s) I’m trying to answer:

  1. Which type of game gets the most players?
  2. Which type of game costs the least to get started?
  3. Which type of game are developers most motivated to make?
  4. Which type of game are players looking for in the near future?
  5. And overall, which type of game should I make?

Please keep these in mind:
I am a solo developer.
I’m not looking for a long project.
I am looking to make a profit.
I am not hiring anyone else to do work for me.
I want to stay motivated throughout the project.
I do not have a massive fund to jumpstart the game.
I do not want the game to be hard to defend from exploiters (such as FPS games)

Any feedback is valuable, and I appreciate your time!

I believe horror is trending right now. You can go for that.

I don’t have an answer to this question. Any game you make will at least cost you something.

That’s really up to you. You can make any genre you like. And add anything you like. You have to make sure you are happy with what you are doing.

Mostly horror and puzzle type games. You can still go for simulators, though. they never get off trending.

It depends on what genre you are interested in. But horror is pretty nice.

That’s awesome! Would you suggest:
A story-type game (ex. Break-In)?
An escape/puzzle game (ex. Doors)?
A survival game (ex. Michael’s Zombies)?
Or a mix? If so, what type of mix?

A mix between escape/puzzle and survival game would be pretty good. I don’t like story-type games because they become boring after you finish 2 times. But ultimately, it’s up to you and what you like.

It depends on what you want to do, I would personally recommend something like Panik, since It could get a lot of traction, and it’ s easier to make than something like Evade
