Re: It's truly difficult to come up with original game ideas.

At least two of my game ideas have been taken.

Months before the release of Unturned, I had a dream of playing a survival game that looked just like that. Looked the same, played the same, similar level design, etc.

And today, when I was reading through some random tumblr dedicated to obscure Japanese games, I happened to find an article about a (very) obscure game called Mizzurna Falls. It features a story set in a cold area and involves a parallel story between a suspect and police investigating the disappearance of a girl, with one of the key gameplay concepts being a bad ending if you had not solved the investigation in a certain amount of time. I had written the concept of a game highly similar to that without knowledge of it a few months ago.

It's just weird how my ideas, no matter how original I think they are, end up getting taken.

I have ideas that are original and hopefully havent been used yet.

I have attempted to execute that idea in roblox, but sadly, my crew(Cluster studios) isn't very active anymore...

I just wish someone would come and make things better for my group...

Well you know that saying that goes "If you thought of it, someone already has."

Just like in 10 years, children won't be able to come up with good usernames without 9 numbers in them.

originality isn't required, innovation and good gameplay is

@invisorum

There are many usernames I can think of that probably won't be taken by anyone else in years.

One example I can give is with name combinations, you can google something that goes like "chinaurussia" (china + nauru + russia) but for character names or other things with 0 results.

@fdxd

Wasn't that an elemental fighting game concept you had that you're referring to?

"Months before the release of Unturned, I had a dream of playing a survival game that looked just like that. Looked the same, played the same, similar level design, etc."

so essentially you had the idea to ripoff roblox before unturned did?


anyways, no BS, i'm pretty sure almost everything that exists ever is at least in some ways a ripoff so i wouldn't be too hard on yourself

yeah it is.
But then I gave up on it since I don't have the resources.

once can never be 100% original

it's like when a hipster claims to be unique,

even though there are millions of people just like them that talk/dress/etc. just like them

My ideas wont be taken...

Somehow I feel nobody would make a game about a lazer shooting hippo on a pogo stick while eating banana's, practicing a violin while running away from killer tomatoes.

You do know your right to free speech does not protect me from criticizing what you say? It's to protect the government from prosecuting you over what you say.

You can say you're going to blow up the white house but that doesnt mean you can say it without getting punished
