It's been a while, I think years, since I have gotten a new game idea. It just hit me in the middle of the night. My idea is fairly simple, but in my opinion awesome.
Most of us know of the game "Battle Bawxing" well it is kind of inspired by that, but hardly alike at all, so lets get to it:

My game idea is something like Bumper Cars, but on water. You would spawn, I am thinking my maximum player limit would be 15, and have 15 boat spawns, and for regen I am thinking one only, so that way boats cannot be spammed, there would be a boat for each player. Some name ideas I have are "Battle Boats" or "Bumper Boats" at this point there isn't really an objective of the game then just to have fun and bump into people. I thought of having a leaderboard with points, where you would get a point every time you bump into someone and then you could be able to unlock different boats with a certain level of points, but I'm not going to do that because I am strictly a builder, I don't script. I think a simple game could be good considering it would only be a Beta game, and more advanced updates would come over time.

So that said, I would like to know your thoughts on this idea, and any ideas you may have for this new project of mine. At this point I have only commonly been asked one question, so I will ask that as well.

Should this game have paid access?

Well sorry, I don't take no for an answer. You have offered no help, thus your reply is a complete waste of my time, nor does it make any sense. That said, learn to read good sir, it will take you far in life.

Interesting. Will boats be able to be sunk? Maybe unlockable boats could have speed, attack, and health stats.

At this point, no. Like I stated in the main text, I don't script, sinking would require scripting, however, I may make it so that when you bump into someone the boat takes damage and eventually falls apart, but when it does, since it would be wood, it would float.

I can do the scripting for you, if you like :D
And sounds like a good game, depending on how fun it will get.

start off without paid access but once you become more famous. 3,000-5,000 visits then you should think of adding a 22 robux paid access.
(paid access in very under developed games make people disgusted and because no one else paid for it then no one will play)

To make a game good you have to have at least a little bit of scripting to control the way things happen. Scripts guide the gameplay and without it there is no purpose to the game. Even a rule GUI requires a simple script to close it after you spawn.

Develop it first, try to learn how to script, and try to make it good. Paid Access would be a bad idea at first.

I think second poster was saying you shouldn't have paid access. Maybe you should know what you write before criticizing.

Star, I have already made some popular games. Your idea is basically backwards, if people want to play Beta, they'll have to pay, or wait to play the full version for free. Once and if the game itself becomes popular, I don't know what I'll do.

Fear, no. I don't like scripting and I am an elite builder. Not a horrible one.

So wait, you don't want a scripter?

And you don't know how to script?


How is this game going to get anywhere?

The idea is, in my opinion, boring. Bumping into boats for points? No.
Develop your idea further on the main idea - Boats. Bumping into other boats.

Make challenges such as boats have a certain amount of health, and you can upgrade your boat from not having any weapons such as cannons etc.. Or not. It could be that you have to crash into them to reduce the health of the other boat to sink it.

Stormchaser, you're getting FREE help. Most scripters charge, like 10 robux per line. Without scripts in your game it will never get popular, let alone buyable via paid access. Either accept FREE help, or your game WILL FAIL.

His game will not fail. What you need is time and determination. Learn how to script and you can accomplish anything.

Why not add a third dimension to bumper cars? What if there were bumper cars in outer space, with no friction and deadly black holes?

I'm not saying it will fail I'm saying without scripting the game will fail.
