This account is pretty useless. It was made in 2006, it has an awesome namesnipe, but besides that it has nothing.

I can single handedly make the game I want, but the issue I am having is none of my ideas feel amanda enough.

I want the game to be for this account. Not a Hangout place, but an actual game with gamepasses and dev products and all.

Pretty much my mind just stopped working whenever I tried to think of a good objective for a game.

Because you know, if you have an objective, you can mindlessly make a game around it without it making much sense and people will play it.

If you suggest an idea in reply to this thread, I will reference you in the description of the place or make a statue of you, or include you in the credits of the place, depending what kind of game it turns out to be.

So post an idea and get partial credit for my game, because for me, ideas are just as important as developing the place.

I will still mention you somewhere(in the credits or description) even if I do not use your idea specifically or even go off of it.

"the real question is, can you script?"

I am learning how to script, basics are covered, and every day I'm learning more. I know my way around the wiki, so I should be set. I don't want making the game to be easy, I want it to be a challenge that tests my scripting and building abilities.

Because if it's not a challenge I won't be as interested and committed to it.

@bchord

I would always be up for remaking the game. What makes it easy, is the creative part is the coding, and not the ideas.

However, I've never heard or played any of those games. Also, if I'm not interested in the type of game, I probably wouldn't be interested in remaking it.

I would have to play them.

Singleplayer (you can set the game for only 1 player which is simpler, or just make everything local.)

To make the entire game local, you can turn FilteringEnabled on and have everything handled via LocalScripts. Since the client doesn't replicate to the server, one player's progres won't interfere with another.



A single player, first person puzzle solving adventure game.

think Penumbra or Singularity, not Scribblenauts xD

@amanda

total war games are grand strategy games, which i think is pretty unique. give it a try pl0x

if you were to recreate empire total war i'm pretty sure you would dominate the front page, and get loads of attention on the blog.

of course give it a slightly different name for copyright reasons

here's some gameplay to give you a gist of what it is about

From a scale of basic builder, intermediate, and advanced; what would you put yourself as?

From my knowledge, an Intermediate builder, that's also a basic scripter is unlikely to make a front-page game.

But of course you can have a DEV team to help you out.

When I think Amanda I think Amanda Bynes and she's crazy! So pretty much just go on a sugarhigh (or a real one) and start thinking of ideas.

You can speculate all you wish, but I think something compelling, and different from what is already out there, can work whether or not it is a scripting masterpiece.

I can build really detailed, but I get bored if I don't have a goal except to replicate something. So as a side note, I don't do large-scale buidling replication(alone, I would need a team). For replication of other games/real life places, I do small scale + improvisation + small changes + varied game play.

For gameplay replication(as in character animations, interfaces, and special happenings), I am still working on my skills.

If I am doing a replication of a non-ROBLOX game, I would do most of the build first, and then the scripting.

--

Anyways, I'm not asking for a team because I don't have more than a few hours each day, and only some of the days of the week to be on ROBLOX. So I would be unproductive as a team member at this current time.

To repeat the point of this thread, I'm simply asking for inspirational/original ideas.

Don't think about what is possible, think about what would be fun.

"Building isn't fun?! "

I build a lot just for the build. However, all of those turn into unfinished projects which don't amount to anything but a pretty thumbnail(I don't release any of those to ROBLOX for permanent publication).

If I want to make a game, and I want to constantly update it, it has to be something I'm interested in.
