Hi guys, since Survival 404 broke and that the only game is why I am here, I decided to get a scripting/building study on Roblox and I decided to make my own survival. Sorry to all who think I'm copying, I use the same ideas but I'm gonna make it more fun to play.

Actually, it's not on my profile now. Why? I lauch it when it is in Beta stage. I'm still in alpha but I WILL post pictures here (wait... i had some problems with this forum. I guess i cant post images, is it? Whatever, i just post it to a image gallery or video).

The thing is: i need ideas for islands, the story (yep, actually a little bit of story is gonna be inside, but not THAT much that you are thinking: skip skip skip... So. I need the following ideas for you: Island ideas (got some already myself) and Ideas for things you can make. I thought of making it something like you gotta start in prehistoric buildings, but in the end you can make buildings like... in the golden age? Or something like it is now, but that goes to far for now I think. I thought like of a lot of new minerals (first stone tools, then copper/iron/steel/gold/platinum tools) and one addition to the forage/backpack/craft thingy (because otherwise it is TO much copied!)

I also thought of real combat things, not only weapons but also things like cannons on boats, but you can only take some walls down. The walls don't dissapear but you slam a hole in it. After a minute or 5 it is repaired (maybe a Repair tool?). I was also thinking of custom chat; you can Team chat (only nearby people see it, Bubble chat) and just normal chat (like Classic Chat). I was also thinking of new fruits, a lot of MORE things to eat, more buildings that have more detail (and you gotta start with something like a loam hut, but that has detail). I also thought of islands like a Jungle Island and an Ice Island.

I know you guys think: this guy can't build anything. I know but I CAN script... but not in Lua, but that isn't a big problem to learn that.

I will keep you guys updated, but PLEASE HELP ME with getting island ideas and so on. It will be great if you guys get me inspiration, so Thank YOU!

No suggestions? I know im not very far in the development, but the ideas for materials can actually get inspiration for landscapes - i mean you are not making a cactus on a grassland ;)

After i finish my homework im gonna go further with it. The only thing i really think i get problems with is the scripting. So... maybe someone will help me with that?

-Finished 1 palm tree (1 log (?) 4 leaves (?) and 4 coconuts (!)) and placed 6 on the first island.



Note; the (?) means a not confirmed name, a (!) is confirmed and probably stays like that name.


Also, if you wanna help; I NEED SCRIPTERS. I dont think im gonna learn Lua scripting very fast... so... ;) PM me for that plz, i will post screens soon of the first island. Keep in mind: the game is simple. Im not gonna make complicated trees because the scripting would get very hard, but i will invest a lot of time in the landscape. Expect something real nice; real nature wonders. I hope i can get that and i will also make islands with all different surroundings. Jungle, beach, hills, mountains, deserts... no island will be the same! In 404 you only got 2 islands; "grass" islands and "mountain/mine" islands. I am gonna improve that.

Post your ideas for landscapes or recipes here!

v.0.0.1f
-Added and FINISHED the second island. It's a rocky island. On first sight it looks like one irregular boulder, but if you look closely you see a entrance in it. A small one: no large ships can pass trough. In it you find 5 rock formations: 3 copper rock and 2 normal.
-Copper Rock: 1 Large rock (!) 4 Medium rocks (!) and 4 copper ore (!)
-Normal Rock: 1 Large Rock (!) 4 Medium Rocks (!) 4 small stones (!)
-The island has a cave, as said, and a roof. You can get on the roof with a not really secret stairway. On it you will find some land to build and a waterfall. The waterfall gets in the cave!
-There is also a part of the island i call Tower Rock: it is a rocky tower in the sea with a bridge going to it.
-The island is very detailed and i guess this second island is really nice. If i would have scripters and the engine of the game would be done i would put it online, but excpect a alpha soon. Beta testing coming too.
-I guess the island is approx 500 bricks.

Okay! I hope someone will help me with the scripting, because if thats done we can go from alpha to beta and then the only stuff to add is islands, materials and other minor things!

I will give you a preview soon. Till soon!

Banned yesterday for trolling (bad mood.. :) ) But i'm back! Look at my profile, it has a place and in the description... an OVERVIEW of all the upcoming features.

Maybe i'm putting a teaser online, this game isnt dead, its full in development.

If u like it, tell as much people you know of this game. I need community involvement to make this a great game!

The BETA setting looks great. I have a lot of ideas I need to discuss with you. I have discussed them all with darkburst and he said that he liked them. I have LOTS of them so be ready. :)

______________
MAGIC
______________
I was thinking that we should have a magic skill. Like I said about the perk system, we have a skill and then you could put Skill Points into a perk for any skill of your choice... if that skill is a hgh enough level. With the magic skill, you could put points into different spells in this Perk System, spells like fireball, invisibility, and ultimately maybe teleport. There IS a natural fuel for all of this though. It is called magicka. And it regenerates maybe one point every 10 seconds. And going back to the apothecary stuff you could maybe make potions of magicka to regenerate magicka instantly. We could have plenty of spells but we need to work on this and tweak it. Tell me if you like it.
______________
ENCHANTING
______________
I was thinking that you could enchant your tools or weapons with this skill. Maybe enchant magicka bonuses or faster regeneration, along with health too. You could also increase your damage here. You could do lots of things with enchanting. We will think about more things to do and how we are actually going to do enchanting.
______________
RECIPE IDEAS
______________
Me and darkburst were discussing what we would need to make horns. We thought of two horns already. Gold Horn: 2 Gold Ingots and 1 Iron Ingot and One Rope. Diamond Horn: 2 Diamonds + (1 Gold Ingot?) + 1 (Some kind of enhanced rope? Strong Rope?).
We also thought of an apothecary satchel and an Alchemy Labaratory(Building). An apothecary satchel could be made of leather and rope. You can carry ingredients and potions in this. We will think of more things I am sure.
______________
SKILL TREE
______________
Me and darkburst AGAIN thought of something bizarre. We thought of perhaps having an island around the center of the map that ACTUALLY has a Skill Tree itself. A large tree with no leaves and ALOT of branches. If you approach it a GUI comes up with different skills that you can access and put points into perks for a skill. We also thought of having a general level. You gain experience from leveling up skills(Which you don't have to come to the Skill Tree to do so) You gain a skill point to put into a perk for every time you level up. The tree should grow 2 golden apples every 15-30 minutes we thought. Golden Apples heal you all the way and restore your hunger and thirst all the way from one bite(One portion). Golden apples are also craftable... we thought maybe: Gold Ingot + Gold Ingot + Apple + Gold Ingot + Gold Ingot.
______________
END NOTES
______________
We thought that you might like all of these ideas. Please post back about what you think.
Thanks
Yezzinator

Any way I can help with this game.
I can, make modles, and help test the game to help find "bugs" and "glitches"
Also I have a TON of free time to work with and need something to kill it with(with hope this game). my only flaw is that I only know basic sript editing so I won't be any help with the scripting(but I can "plug in" what I make)

I think i can help you with this game. I love making GUI's. I am pretty good at it too. And the name stranded will get this game dissliked. Because (i cant remeber his name) a guy is making an amazing game called stranded. This sounds like you are copying the name. Mabye name it lost or something.

Ok first, wow, this game gets more attention every day. The ball has beginning to roll guys.

The name? Come one now. I searched on stranded, there are lots of games that has the name stranded. Also, if you search on, for example, Call of Robloxia you get multiple games too. So thats not copying too. But I get the picture, it's indeed not the first game. The thumbnail picture of the game will show that this is another game ;)

@Legowarrior1414
Help is much appreciated! The first thing we wanna do is not building, but making a "text" version of the game - a sort of manual wich contains the basic ideas. So my question to all of you is: FIRST the ideas, the building will come later. It will get chaotic when we start building right now. Trust me, I did this before on other platforms and made the same fault.
It's just like a car: you can build the full car, but without an engine you won't get anywhere!

@Yezzinator
Haha, lots of ideas! Thank you very much. My commentary:

Magic? Fun! The base idea is great, but the lower level ideas (the spells, and how you gain/use them, etc etc) need some tweaking. Just like I said: Balance in this game!

Enchanting: This is sort of upgrading weapons, but keeping the same name and look I guess. I like it, but we can maybe put it in skills; every battle level you get +1% damage or something like that.

Recipes: Wrote them down, great work!

Skill tree: Wow! Thats very original and I like the idea. The only problem is that the better level players (here comes my "balance" again...) will maybe defend that tree so that they can only get the skills and lower level players not. Need some tweaking too ;) And the golden apples... This is where it get tricky. The problem is that lowel level players cant get there, because higher level players defend them and take all golden apples. I don't like the idea that it will heal you fully, because thats the same as the easter egg in 404. It's just too simple and it makes the game much more predictable... Ýou can just stay on your own island where Apple is native food, and you dont ever have to think about hunger or thirst, while that is one of the focus points ;)

I like your ideas Yezz, I have vacation now and its gonna be FULL of Stranded.

Thanks for all your comments guys. I'm making a website to make this all some more clear and less chaotic (it isnt yet, but it will get chaotic!). You can look there for ALL ideas, not just the ideas I like, but all the ideas and the Ideas that will get in the game for sure.

Also, if you see me online or StrandedEpisode1 online on my place or his place, join, its CHAT time then! So come and join.

And dont forget to spread the word, too your (real life) friends!

Have a nice day! Jobro13

Well after seeing what is done with the game an engine is well needed...but not the one you think...first make a base script(if so see you in 1+ months) or get one from 404(I have one saved and can share it if you want you just need to fix the building placement) This game need something to work off of, something to build on to. Now it's like putting ideas in the air and hoping they don't drop on our feet when we let go.with a strong base under them the ideas mix together and make a game to be proud of.
also I found some things that can be some what "problematic" with the map
1: lack of a "base":(see above)
2: lack of room:the island are to small good fore spawn islands but they will be hard to build on. If this is going to be like 404 we need 404 like islands
3: lack an an ocean: Like 404 and the rest of the survival series this game needs an ocean so boats are the best way of transport and travel and they need to be deep so you can drown by mistake like in 404.
4: slopes: a BIG no no fore a game that you build on.
5: (not about the game)Are we just beta testers/idea givers or will we work on the game (with you being the creator) using StrandedEpisode1 as the "alt account". no offense but I don't want to just give ideas I want to do some thing to the game. just look at 303 (using Davidii2 as the "alt account") it is worked on by like 5(give or take) different people that use Davidii2 as the game's home.
that's all I have to say fore now, and when I say "alt account" I mean an account that all the developers work with(we just need to have an "up to date" version saved at all times this allows us to keep our real accounts safe.

sorry fore not putting this in the last post most of that was me just reading the first line (hits self in head) but yes a "text" version of the game is nice but unneeded fore a start the way I would work on a game like this is, base--> then ideas not ideas--> then base without a base you have nothing to work on but ideas witch make an unstable base as some ideas don't get in so you have a "chair with 3 legs" that falls over and beaks.

Legowarrior, I know this is not the normal way the people work here, but I made games before and I always just started. It always went the same in the end: no people wanted to play it. That's not going to happen again.

Also, I'm not going to take any scripts. I have 404 on my PC, but thats just for "education" use only.

Don't forget we don't have anything, I have 10 islands on my PC and I'm going to release it tomorrow in a huge update ;)

Then reactions on your other post.

1) No base? I dont have any script on it, so don't blame me for that. First landscape, then scripts, then base is done and public release and then more updates to make the game better.
2) Hey, I have 2 islands! They ain't for building something on, did anyone ever build something on trice island or small mine in 404? (Well, on small mine i always build a mine, but u cant start a tribe there). Just wait, other islands are huge ;)
3) Ocean? As I said, no scripts yet. It's going to be in a script, maybe i want a math.huge ocean ;) Ocean is NOT done.
4) Sope? U mean the beach, well that is gonna stay there because the story starts there, you STRAND at a BEACH ;) No other slopes in the game, probably.
5) I'm not going to share the account, because I don't know if I can trust everywone ;) Just for the sake of the game. You can help with lots of things:
1) Testing
2) Ideas
3) Building
4) Scripting
5) Advertising
And much more.

When I release the mega update, then the work is going to start, because not all the islands are very nice. So I just say to you, make a cactus or something. You make cactus and I put it in ;) Meanwhile, we can start scripting ;)

Simple as that.

Thanks for your post ;) I love criticm, so don't mind to give me more! And Merry Christmas of course.
