Writing down a game idea is hard.

I think its a bit harsh to make out that roblox dosen`t have enjoyable games. You must remember that most of them games mentioned on that other forum have probably been made. The problem is that them games take a long time to make, and once you have made a great it must be a trending to do well.
If you search on game marketing, or here on Game design you will find the games better. The front page is filled with either quick games likes obbies, and tycoons, or those games that take a fair bit of time to initailly make but gets remastered so many times to create its own trend. Original games struggle.
If you are going to make a game best of luck with it. |

| ^It's possible to make enjoyable games as long as you try to aim for a certain audience.Also original concepts do make it to the top but most people who come here are inspired from something else.Games like Deathrun,Work at a pizza place and Lumber tycoon 2 are pretty original.If you're making enjoyable games you have to aim for a certain audience. |

A lot of us here do make enjoyable games. What I meant in that last post is them games are often overlooked as they are not main stream games when they come to roblox. Also the games you are mentioning are great examples but must be remebered their timings.
Work at the Pizza place has been a long for many years now what leaves to have certain fan base. It was a game that kept dipping, but has managed to regain a fair few fans with that house update along with smoother designs.
Deathrun is not that original of a game. I am not fully sure of its inspiration, but I know its a cross between the speedrun/ harder obbies craze along with some steam related games that have done well recently.
Lumber is a recent that I can`t see lasting many more months. It managed to do well because of two main reasons. Firstly that bandwagon of tycoons that are less aparent. Secondly it also is not a concept that original. There is a few games that have had similar styles in the past, and this is just simply a little revamped version. Yes as a sequel it can do that, but even as a stand alone game it is nothing too new besides some design changes.
They are well done games, and they have managed to pick up an audience, but again these games are not too different. They all focus on that multiplayer aspect in which you have your own pace, and little focus is needed. Thats why the games most of us think are great don`t do well. Roblox is not yet at the stage that the games we all enjoy seeing and playing gets the right attention, but that will happen. Thats why I wish these guys the best of luck, but do hesitate to see it succed. |

What I've learnt from my experience is that there are different kinds of people.Let me explain.
Firstly there are people who have brilliant ideas but do not have enough knowledge to execute them so they either give up or try to recruit people to help them to do it.These people are often seen in this forum looking for people to help them but are chased out by the flaming forumers who look for other people who can do something.These people often give up due to the community and the idea is lost.
The other kind are programmers and builders who are looking to make money who look for ideas and are not very good with coming up with new,original concepts(doesn't apply to all).Therefore these people adopt other ideas from other games and we very less original games.
Of course there are people who can do both but are rare.This is my opinion on why this happens.In the real world these two types of people come together and work to succeed. An example of the first type would be Steve Jobs,he was creative but could not do it himself so he had other people help him.The other type example would be Mark Zucerburg(prob wrong spelling:P) who took a good idea and made it very good with his skill. |
