I`m working on a new game based of the movie "Battle Royale".

Now, what is Battle Royale? Imagine your entire class (30 people) are heading on a field trip. You finally get there and then things suddenly go black, what happened!?

You wake up in an old, dirty, foggy room with the rest of your room-mates and some luggage. The luggage is just clothing. Your 7th grade teacher now enters the room explaining that you have 3 days to kill everyone else, otherwise everyone is killed through their pre-equipped collar(like a dog, yes). There are absolutily no rules except don't try to remove the collar. If there are multiple people alive in three days, you all die. Only one can win.

Every 6 hours (obviously shorter in the roblox game) all the deaths are announced, and how many players are left. As well as death points. What are death points? Death points are positions on the grid that will cause your collar to explode if you are within their radius at a certain time. Very lethal indeed. These points are active for one hour each and are random chosen every 6 hours, one point each hour.

After being read the rules, you will begin to be launched into the game. You get a survival bag that contains:

-Flashlight
-3 Water Bottles
-1 Stick of bread
-Random weapon (could be an UZI, or just a pencil)
-Map (Split into grids, so you know where NOT to enter during death point times)


Now, the map will be huge so I`m enabling level streaming. It ranges from dense forests to mountains to jungles to beaches. The map also has random buildings on it, such as broken down houses or something of the sort thats been abandoned for years.



Anyways, here is a list of things I won't be adding:

-Vehicles (they don't work well with the idea, or the terrain)
-Groups (Trust someone if you want, but I`ll let them poke ya at any time ;), so watch out!)
-Zombies, entities, ect.. (the entire island is EMPTY, the only living thing on it are the plants and your enemies!)
-Crafting (you get what you find, not what you build)


This seems limiting, but if I added these features it would stray from the purpose of the game.

Also I`m trying to figure out how I`m spawning players. I might let one player out every 15 seconds and not allow them to go near the base until everyone is gone, otherwise they are killed. Or I might spawn them evenly, which would help spawn time but be very dangerous. The first method however, does not guarantee results either.

Release date? Well, its done when its done. To give you an idea of my schedule, Paintball took me two weeks to make.

Gamepasses? I`m considering adding consumables where players can pay an extra 25R$ per match to get maybe an extra ration of food or whatnot. I will not be allowing players to purchase a minigun with unlimited ammo.


Anyways, ask me any questions you like!

ScriptOn, this sounds awesome. I would recommend spawning people every 20 seconds for safe measure.

Wasn't battle royale a manga? And will ammo be spawned around the map? Also, you should add an XBow.

Here's an idea:
If you kill somebody, you get the option of picking up their weapon. Maybe if you were near a corpse, you could use a hot key to pick up their weapon. This way, you get an extra incentive for killing.

Also, if you do good in a round, you get cash (or points, levels, etc.). In between lives/games, you can use your cash/points/levels to unlock new weapons. This would encourage people to increase their time in this game.

Example on how to earn cash/points/exp (exp for levels, if you do that)

3 points/exp/cash for the first kill + 4 if you get on a two kill streak

I explained that weirdly so I'll put it in an equations, so you can understand it better:

y = cash/exp/points x = kills

y = 4x + 3

Amount of time alive

1 cash/exp/point for every minute alive

You could also add Achievements; for example:

Hot Streak: 5 kills in one life

Survivor: Alive for 10 minutes

Hider: No kills or deaths for 10 minutes

you could get points/exp/cash for achievements

Those are just a few ideas. I hope you consider them.
