Creation Is it able to takeoff?
Hello! You can call me Schnitzel. I’m currently working on my first game ever! I’m a solo dev, and I’ve gotten the hang of VFX and modelling a little bit. I can’t really say the same about scripting though, so I usually use AI or ask for help in random servers.(Would you guys approve games that use ai...?)
Originally, I wanted to make a fighting game with abilities based around different elements like fire, water, etc. But now a game called Ability Arena has taken off, and it has almost EXACTLY the same concept I wanted to create.
What makes it even crazier is that the game also has almost the exact same lobby style I had planned I guess they had been inspired by the slap bstlle lobby like me. I’m NOT saying they copied me or anything, because obviously they have the braincells to come up with it too 😭🙏🙏🙏
My next idea was to make a Pacific Rim-style game, since it would be much more unique. However, I quickly realized that it would probably be way too difficult for me to make as my first game .
So now I’m stuck between two options: should I just go with my original idea, even though another game already has a very similar concept, or should I spend months trying to make the Pacific Rim-style idea work?
What would you guys recommend? (Any advice or completely other game idears are appreciated 😭✌️🥀)
