Your Ideas On A Simulator

Help and Feedback Game Design Support
#1

Ok so I am making a game called Vaccine Simulator. It’s a bit different to other simulators because instead of being in a grassy plain outdoor, everything is futuristic. Instead of double jumps to different islands, its obbys to deeper, more futuristic areas. Instead of pets, you can get Supercomputers
which can upgrade your sell and how much you get/click. What’s your idea?
Edit: Also instead of gems you can collect token-like things.

ps. I will not be making this game right now as my studio says cannot open place. Rather than making two posts, can someone help me with that?

Is This Violating Roblox Game Rules

That’s a big no-no now. Roblox doesn’t really permit games that simulate recent tragedies including pandemics.

Hell no, don’t make this. PLEASE. I’d class this as offensive due to the current situation in the real world regarding the pandemic AND it violates Roblox’s ToS.

Yea I have to agree with the other commenters. Also, if you haven’t read this interesting thread yet, I suggest you should as you can get helpful insight. https://devforum.roblox.com/t/why-you-should-refrain-from-making-simulator-games-nowadays/590796

As you can see it won’t settle well with people and you certainly won’t get a good response. An unpopular opinion, however, I don’t think it’s a bad idea for a game, its just that making it right now, especially because it would be gaining attention and demand because its taking advantage of a pandemic, and that of which is morally is not right.

Hello, yes I knew that, that is why I made a release date of 1st aug, 2021. I made a deal if this pandemic continues I will not released the game. Ever. But the game is simply putting vaccines in your bad and giving it to scientists so I do not think I will make it but it does not show any sick people. Its just a simulator with vaccines.

#7

Hello, just as I said to the others, I am releasing this game after the pandemic is over,

#8

Tragedies never pass away, try making a different game with a title like ‘Science Simulator’ where they’re a scientist working on a vaccine?

#9

Still, it’s happened, doing this will only give you a bad reputation. Even making things about past strategies is a horrible thing to do and I do not suggest doing it under any circumstances.

#10

hence why there’s no one making simulators about Ebola etc.

#11

I mean there’s the game Plague Inc. that is literally named after the Plague. (It’s not a Roblox game so, don’t mind me)

#12

And that game is literally stupid for I assume monetizing off of unfortunate events.

#13

I don’t have a problem with it. It helps inform people how viruses can evolve and spread and how dangerous they can be.

#14

It just all depends on how you look at it really.

Maybe they should do it without monetizing it or donating the money to health services? That’s one of the many problems with it. They dont as far as I’m aware.

#16

I mean that’s like saying Phantom Forces should donate their money to veterens because it simulates the war they went through. It’s just a game and not a real world event/sim. My opinion anyways. Should probably stop bumping this thread lol

#17

Phantom Forces isn’t related to any real wars. It’s a regular FPS where as Plauge Inc profits off of unfortunate events. This shouldn’t be allowed at all.

#19

here’s the thing: There is a virus simulator on roblox, there is a plague inc game. This game isn’t JUST about the vaccine though. You venture through different futuristic buildings and collect tokens.

#20

It still is not the correct time to make a game regarding this.

#21

And also, I agreed with my devs to not make it if the pandemic exceeds 2021. This game is released 1 aug, 2021 which maybe the virus will be gone
