I've been formulating this in my head for about two months, and I need to know if this is good or not. Please tell me what you think.

Genre:
First-person survival horror

Setting:
Think of something like Dead Space

Infection team info:
They are much like necromorphs from Dead Space, but bigger. To play as them, you can use random letters on the keyboard to trigger different animations (like in Ultimate Power). I'm. Not sure what to call them yet, so I'm just going with infected for now.

Game types:
Infection

Map statuses (stati?)(variations of maps):
Stable - little destruction and debris, lots of lights on (some flickering), few (if any) burrower tunnels (more info later)
Unstable - few lights on (some flickering), moderate debris, moderate burrower tunnels
Overrun - no lights on, large amounts of destruction and debris, frequent burrower tunnels
Flooded - like Overrun, but with less burrower tunnels and water on the floor, which removes sprinting ability
Unknown - random status

Infected types:
Slasher (until I think of something better) - just your average infected with large blades on its forearms
Stinger - an infected that can shoot large spikes that can pin humans on walls
Grabber - a giant monstrosity that can pick up humans and throw them at others
Burrower - the only class able to go through burrower tunnels, which are basically shortcuts that allow burrowers to jump out of the walls and attack humans without warning
Crawler - a quick and nimble little infected
Recently Infected Victim (until I think of something good) - they look just like humans, until saws burst from their arms

Humans:
So far, I've thought of 7 or 8 guns (and upgrades for them), and they all have strengths, weaknesses, and flashlights. I would discuss it all here, but my post is long enough already...


So that's basically the basics! I'm starting work on it once I finish learning how to script.

Sounds good so far. I will wait for you to complete this indeed i will. Pherhaps i have some infected suggestions however.


Spitter: Can spit deadly puddles of poison dealing damage over time to anyone who steps in it.

Coldeye- Can create small blocks of ice to make players trapped or have to move around it. So like a barrier or a wall.

Multizombie- Has 3 heads, each head spits out a different color block. The left head spits out a blue block that if hits you can deal low amount of damage. If the right head hits you with its red block you get hit with medium damage. If the middle head hits you with the black block it spits out then you get hit with tons of damage.

Firesighter- Can blow smoke from its mouth to blind enemies for 4 seconds in the nearby area.

I like the spitter idea. I've been trying to think of new moves for the stingers, and the spitting sounds like something that I should use.

One thing that I think I left out: Each class type has lots of different moves. Slashers don't ONLY slash, grabbers don't ONLY throw people, etc. Different animations/moves would come as upgrades in the store in between matches.

I like the stinger idea but think of the name stinger. I have 3 ideas for it.

-Has a long tail that can shoot 6 spikes in differnet directions

-Keep it how it is expect it pins a human on a wall for 3 seconds

-Wherever the stinger walks leaves green goo and when enemies walk in it, they become slower.

Thanks a lot, I'll keep that in mind!

I probably won't need your help for a while, though. It's taking quite a long time to learn Lua.

Well here is an idea from a game called "The conduit" theres a gun that is named a hive cannon cause it shoots out micro exploding bugs from the "hive"

So I suggest you add that gun. Its small, takes alot of shots to kill you but sounds epic.

@affiq
Great idea. It will probably be added after beta.

Here's a list of guns:
Machine gun
Shotgun
Flash gun - fires a big flash of light blinding everyone inside for a small amount of time
Flak gun - if this sounds familiar, it is. It's on the roblox catalog, I would be modifying slightly for the game
Hive gun (hopefully)
The Saw - a laser chainsaw
Beam gun - a continuous laser beam
Stasis gun - a continuous beam that slows down enemies (possibly an upgrade to beam gun)
Rail gun - shoots a large spike into enemies

Three things:

1. Scripting is coming along VERY SLOWLY :( I've completed only one-tenth of the wiki tutorials.

2. Further delay comes in the form of the lack of dynamic lighting. As long as Roblox does not have darkness/flashlights that can penetrate the darkness, this game cannot be playable.

3. The game called "The Oblivion" that is on my profile is nothing like what The Oblivion Virus is going to be. It's just a random place I made for testing purposes. (I think I need to change the name to prevent further confusion, though :P )

Well I find this to be no help but...

Scripting guns are not easy.. MY only working gun was a modified paintball gun..

THE only gun on roblox that would explode 16 times before the paintball was removed...

Best advice: wiki helps, but try editing ROBLOX tool to get started.
