I've often seen people say, "unoriginal", or "lacking creativity" on games.
Quite frankly, there aren't too many "original" ideas out there anymore. I can assure you that most of the game ideas you'll think of are either bad or taken. As Roblox grows, there will constantly be less and less creative ideas.

People judge games by creative or not on account of the concept, but never really compare the content. You can have a game idea that has already been taken, but make it totally unique.

Let's use oranges and apples as an example. They're both classified as fruits, but they have a lot in differences. Oranges are orange, sour, and they have a tough peel. Apples are red, sweet, and they have a soft skin. Could you say that one is unoriginal just because they're both fruits? I don't believe so.

Tycoons have been a popular game type since early Roblox, and just look at how many creative, different games we have that are still tycoons. I know there are games that are straight-out copied, the idea, the content, everything, but please: don't judge a book by its cover.

So, for the hypocrites that poorly judge a game like this, yet have a game that is just a baseplate or unoriginal as well, ask yourself: What is an original game? Is mine?

If it's TL;DR then simply don't post because it doesn't contribute to the subject whatsoever, it just shows that you can't take the time to thoroughly read a few paragraphs and then give a valid reply.

It seems funny to me that you posted this thread in the first place.

Do you think it will make any difference?

Perhaps, but the fact that I spent 15 minutes typing this and you're not even acknowledging the subject of the thread is absurd.

The only limit to the amount of creative and original games are the limit to your crappy imagination. There is an unlimited amount of original games, its just that you cant think of any original ideas.

Op is all wrong.

Most people aren't copying Roblox games, but often games found outside of Roblox. That's where the Murder Craze started.

And we have Murder, Twisted Murder, and Murder Mystery. All the same concept, but all unique.

Tycoons are the same idea but you buy different objects. You collect money and buy stuff. Unoriginal idea

Well, I meant the fact that you had two tycoons which you just stated "unoriginal".

They are unoriginal same with your game. Tycoons are a good money maker.

"tycoons are a good money maker"
Implying that you're only making games for money. Also, you must have not read the end.

"So, for the hypocrites that poorly judge a game like this, yet have a game that is just a baseplate or unoriginal as well, ask yourself: What is an original game? Is mine?"
In other words I don't know why you're calling my game unoriginal when yours is a tycoon, which you also called unoriginal.

@EyeForAnEye
So, your games aren't any of these?
-FPS
-Horror
-Murder
-Tycoon
-Sword Fight
-Build to Survive
-Build and Fight
-Obby

Because the majority of the Roblox community calls these unoriginal.

I didn't say my tycoon was original yet you say yours is original when there are thousands of build to survive. I may have a tycoon but what you just said dosent make much sense because of how unoriginal your game is. Saying I have one un original game and the rest are original ideas. You should have a original game before you call mine unoriginal

You Sir have a point and I do agree with you on the fact that you can`t judge a book by it`s cover but when the diference between the games are very little it is very disapointing, and I don`t want to force me into believing that they are unique, sorry.

No, I was going by your logic, which is obviously very flawed. And again, if you read the original post before posting you'd see mine.

"People judge games by creative or not on account of the concept, but never really compare the content. You can have a game idea that has already been taken, but make it totally unique. "

There's a fine line between games that share the same concept and games that straight out copy another.
