While I was eating my lunch today, an idea suddenly popped up in my head. My idea is to try to create an underwater exploration game.
These are the currently planned features:
Scuba Diving
Submarines
Ane equipment and submarine shop.
Money earned from observing(clicking on) different species(you can only observe the same fish twice, for example, you can observe an infinite amount of salmons,.
Amount of money earned based on the rarity of the species in question.
XP/Level system.
High-detailed animals.
Different parts of the ocean to exlore. Examples: The Challenger Deep, The Great Barrier Reef, Kelp Forests, The Ocean Floor, Deep Sea Canyons, etc.
Higher pressure when you go deeper, different submarines can tolerate different depths, if you go deeper than your current submarine/diving suit can tolerate, you die and your submarine implodes(if you are using one) and you have to repair it which could take about 1 in-game day which could be about 24 minutes in real life(a dev product could be used to repair your submarine even faster).
No matter what happens, you will always have scuba gear to use when your submarine is unavailible.
Agressive animals that may attack you if you are using your scuba gear instead of a submarine, like sharks, moray eels, etc.
If this idea turns into a real project(which it probably will), I will build most of the map and animals, but I can't script so that is one of the things i need help with(I know someone on Roblox who can script, but I think I will need more scripters because I don't know if he can/want to help me with this project).
I will also need help with: GUIs, Marketing, Animations and stuff like that.
No rewards will be given until we make profit from the game, everyone will get a certain percent of profits(it will be a group game btw).
The profit from the game will be made through not only visits, but also developer products like in-game money to spend on submarines and cosmetics to show off while on land and gamepasses that makes all your submarines tolerate more pressure, and maybe gamepasses that makes you earn money and XP faster.
Tell me what you think about this idea and what more the game will need. |

I also want to help build. This game has never been thought of, and I like how you work. Because I don't want profit unless the game gets popular.
I was fire but then I turned into ice. |

I could need help with building submarines if you want, i tried to build one and it turned out horrible. And btw, join my main group and I will promote you to developer once you have sent me a pm with a link to a good submarine as proof of your building skills. |

| Awesome idea! Maybe if you click on a species it could have a mini panflit like how many are left in the wild. What they eat, etc. |

I already created this exact game but never finished it, but I have a couple tips.
-Use smooth terrain water, don't try to script your own water unless you know what you're doing, and the new terrain is easier to see when you are underwater. -Create unique sculptures, don't just create some fish or coral, be creative. For example, maybe you could throw in the titanic or Bikini Bottom. -Don't use free models unless you have to, please don't ruin it by using a useless old model of a boat or something like that (not saying you will). -Make the map big, do not make it take a couple minutes to explore in, or nobody will play it. |

@Dreadrius You could try to build some good submarines. That's probably the only thing in the game i can't build myself, if you want you could build some animals too. Alot of animals are already made since I have made them for another game before. |

| I'm a total noob at all of this, sorry. Either I'll lack enough detail (sub is a box) or it'll lag out the game and take months to build (Sub has 20 parts on a small rail) |

| I cannot make a submarine, but I could probably make something else such as hidden places. |

I would suggest looking at 'Endless Ocean' for the original Wii. It is very similar to your idea. |

@storch Never heard of that game, I was actually mostly inspired by Subnautica. |

| Sounds epic! I'm working on an aquarium right now, I tried a type of game like that a while ago but it was a little too hard for me. |

Dont think you need to keep bumping the thread. You have a great idea here, get it made and then post new updates or polls to keep the games development on the front of these forums.
Great idea, and all the best with its development. |
