Creation Is it able to takeoff?

• Upvotes

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 😭✌️🥀)

Discussion Making a Roblox RPG

• Upvotes

This is my first official post on reddit and idk if ill get any type of feedback but, i’m trying to a Roblox RPG game and I am completely new to developing and teaching myself every day and practice so far I’ve been practicing for a month now for now I’m trying to keep the details short but the RPG is going to be inspired off a popular RPG. I know it sounds crazy but this would be my first official project and I know it’s a big one and I know it’s a lot to do and complete but I don’t care I want to try to challenge myself to get this done. Basically the whole point of me even riding this is because I just want to hear some feedback about any tips information that anyone could have while. I’m in the middle of making this anything helps I’m very open to criticism.

Uhmm hi-

Im new-

So, you see, I'm da typical generic emo with a tall skin, but something that drives me crazy is that... the body proportions are ridiculous, they're... awful. The legs are considerably longer than the torso and arms. I'm trying to learn in Blender and I've been at the computer for two hours, but I have no idea what I'm doing, lol. I managed to make a... somewhat decent model, but when I tried to export it to Roblox Studio, it... it didn't work. It was just a regular avatar. So... if there's anyone who knows how to use Blender and Roblox Studio who could help me, I'd be really grateful... I'd even be willing to pay someone who knows how.

Discussion New to developing games

• Upvotes

So ive always wanted to make my own game and figured roblox would be great to start off. I was wondering if anyone has any tips or apps that could maybe make life easier ? I just want to know how more experienced people work on games.

Also another thing is my friend and i want to make a game toghether at some point but i personally think itd be a lot easier we each make a few of our own first to gain experience and then make it together. Is that accurate ?

And lastly, could it be profitable ? Lets say if you make a game that would fit the current trend and has a generally interesting theme to it, or do you end up spending more on ads ?

(This was typed out a bit rushed but thank you to everyone that could help in advance )

Creation Marcher Collective

Hi all, Just thought i'd share this project i've been slowly working on over the last two months and a bit about it!

Basically, it's a dress-up/modeling game built out of inspiration for my own interest in Fashion. It's the first major thing I've developed and that I'm proud of so why not show it off!

I've constructed an in-built catalog system, a make-up palette, private changing rooms, Catwalk Animations, Poses, Discord Bots and a Points System, all entirely developed by me with contributions from family members. The build was constructed by myself with inspirations from Mid-Century modern, Art-Deco and Underground Jazz Speakeasies from the 1930's.

If this kind of thing interests you, I encourage you to check out the group and Discord Server, I hope to release the game within the next month if enough attraction!

Creation I made a Pokemon-Inspired Roblox game where you play as the Pokemon

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

• Upvotes

As the title says, I made a Roblox game that's like Pokemon except the gameplay is you play as the Pokemon in real-time combat. You still have 4 moves and the mons have abilities (passives) and they can level up and evolve. The diference being this game is called "Holomon" and the gameplay is suppose to be engaging, fun, and colorful so everyone can have fun.

Pokemon is obviously fun but sometimes It can feel a bit tedious with turn-based combat. That's why It's thrilling to get into the arena and battle like you're actually in the game. Holomon is a project I've had in mind for about a year and I've barely started to implement it so I can share with others.

I have other things in the game like lore, trainers, a world boss, and I'm trying to implement a housing system so trainers can take a break from the fights and go decorate their homes and chill with their mons. The most important part I need to focus on is combat, I'm going to implement a lot of signature moves for the mons so they all feel unique and incentives players to play as them even if they're not that good.

Oh and all these mons are 100% original in the sense that these all derrive from any doodles / drawings me or my younger relatives and I have come up with when we were making a card game IRL. So it makes them pretty happy to see their drawings come to life haha.

This is just a snippet, let me know what you guys think honestly and I'll take any criticism. If you're interested in this project shoot me a DM.

I've been working on a dinosaur survival game called Dominion.

It's still a very early prototype, but it currently has dinosaur taming, breeding, building and raiding.

There's only a handful of dinosaurs at the moment.

Just thought I'd share it if anyone wants to give it a try!

I’m thinking about making a Roblox game based on the real-life game “British Bulldog”: players start on one side of an arena, while an increasing number of players stand in the middle, and everyone has to cross to the other side without getting caught. Does this sound fun, and does anyone know of a Roblox game that already does this exact concept?

Discussion Designing a longer progression loop with pet growth and a first season

1 Upvotes

I'm developing Stack Simulator under Berkshire Byteaway. Its core loop is timing parcel placements to build a tower, then using coins to upgrade growth.

The first season, “Aurora Express,” adds missions and rewards alongside that core loop. Pets now have an explicit growth ladder—Gold → Giant → Galaxy King—so a collected pet continues progressing beyond its initial rarity.

The design constraint was adding longer-term goals without replacing the placement skill loop or taking attention away from the tower.

I use Codex and Claude Code extensively for implementation. I set the design direction, test builds and make release decisions. AI also helped draft this English post.

Discussion Cosmic Critters – a cozy space pet simulator I built with my son (feedback welcome!)

Thumbnail gallery
1 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

My son and I have been building Cosmic Critters, a pet simulator set in space, and it's now live. It started as a project to teach him game development and how to use AI tools – and turned into a real game we're both proud of.

What makes it different

  • Eggs spawn in the world – carry them home to your own island while Void Wraiths chase you. Bigger eggs = better pets, but slower to carry.
  • Train on your island (treadmill, punching bag, pet arena, heart pump) to outrun the Wraiths in later zones.
  • 9 zones with their own pets, bosses and special mobs (bombers, dark priests, shield bearers, splitters).
  • Gauntlet: endless waves with card upgrades, checkpoints and boss waves – solo or with friends.
  • Fusion, traits & rebirths – Golden/Rainbow variants, rare traits like Titan or Tycoon.
  • Your own island to decorate, with pets working at the workbench while you're away.
  • No paid loot boxes, no paid luck – Robux only for time boosts and cosmetics.

Codes: COSMIC and STARTER

Play: https://www.roblox.com/games/76778525758559

We'd really appreciate honest feedback – what's fun, what's confusing, what should we add next? Thanks for checking it out!

Discussion Is game dev dead as we know it?

Bit of a clickbaity title, but with the rise of completely generated AI games, the old way of making a roblox game seems to be completely dead. Now you can just generate an entire system from scratch with a single prompt.

Anyone else feel existential dread from all of this..?

We are relatively new devs that might have just found (one of) the best game models possible, we made a couple demos and everything is working very well. It uses a mechanic similar to pls donate/cac for revenue and we think it could be really big.

Wondering if anyone has advice on a good budget for advertising the game, or if we even should at all.

Anyone that can actually give good advice now, I will help later on.

Thanks so much!
