>have a billionaire game idea
>don't have the initial investment

have you tried being jewish or independently wealthy?

Idea guys are a diamond dozen. Start working on a prototype yourself

you would never make a good game no matter how much money you were given

>>713552464 (OP)
no anon, your indie earthbound inspired souls-like rogue-like which is also an analogy for your depression is not a billionaire game idea

just start writing all your ideas down
curate the vibe you're going for
get all the ideaguy stuff saved on your computer
ai isn't ready yet but its only a matter of time

>can't make his own game in 2025 with AI and powerful game engines
Skill issue

Create a wiki for your imaginary game. It's pretty fun.

>go to bank
>ask for 50k
wow so hard

make some shitty indie game with pornbait characters and the cash will flow, then invest into memecoins

You can learn how to use Unity in a matter of days.

if you can't make a thousandaire game idea with 0 dollars, you can't make a billionaire game idea with millions of dollars

>>713552464 (OP)
Just whip up a mockup with store bought units assets and make a kickstarter, reddit falls for it every it time

>know how to code
>know how to write
>know how to compose
>have the initial investment
>don't have any idea

I'm a millionaire and well connected with other rich people. Tell me your idea. If I like it, I'll get you financial backing.

If you aren't willing to destroy your life in pursuit of your idea, it's a bad idea.

Don't be like me anons, you need to do things to make life good.

it's not too late to find something you're passionate about. Passion is the most important thing

do you guys have any neat ideas for a story in a game?

>>713554096
But what if it was also a doom clone but with like... Neon colors and maybe a lot of purple?

>>713556321
Most of my ideas are plagiarized stuff from various old religious texts

>>713552464 (OP)
>good idea
Sorry anon, the only games that people buy these days are pure slop thats spoon fed to them by their influencers. No one wants a good game anymore. They are CONTENT now.

>>713555583
Did a billionaire tell you this?

Realistically, is RPG maker stuff the only format someone can pull off if doing everything alone?

>>713554364
50 bucks says you don't have much experience with either of those things
>>713554457
That actually does sound pretty fun anon I might try that

>>713556457
I have a cool one but I am worried it was already done by some obscure indie game

>>713556612
You could make an engine from scratch by yourself if you're capable enough, that's the part that filters people

>>713556452
We already have Nightmare Reaper, faggot.

>>713556612
No? Just look at Citadel, Lethal Company, and Bright Memories, all three of which were made by solo devs and none of which runs on RPG Maker. Pretty sure HROTT was made by a solo dev as well

can any of you fags make Kenshi but not in shit engine?
thanks

>>713552464 (OP)
ideas are worth jack shit if you don't have what it takes to make it a reality, and I am not just referring to money.

How do I know if I can write or if I only have a ton of ideas? Also, any environment art/design pointers?

>>713555531
It's like Mario meets Zelda

I had a brilliant idea for a game. Just hear me out.

Mega Man Legends 3

>>713557179
Yeah but what if I changed the color palette a bit and added a different retro filter

>>713557179
>>713559260
What if it had deckbuilding elements and a hint of RTS MOBAlike Tribes-adjacent Sekirolike doomborne movement and it was the dark souls of CRPG MMORPGFPS text based extraction shooters

Rate my idea
>asymmetric shooter
>setting is 50s USA
>aliens vs soldiers
>maybe 4 aliens vs 50 soldiers
>aliens get objectives to assault, several classes that fulfill team requirements, loadouts with class weapons
>soldiers defend objectives, also get basic loadouts but more reliant on weapons, vehicles, and equipment near objectives
>soldiers die easily, have to stick to defensible positions like trenches and bunkers and buildings
>from radios, can call in airstrikes, artillery, vehicle reinforcements
>aliens have shields, are very tough but vulnerable to mass fire and armor piercing/large caliber stuff like tanks
>aliens get stealth/mobility equipment to compensate
>maybe alien vehicles, tripod, flying saucer
>also crazy scifi shit like lightning guns and gravity guns, shoot cars at people
>destructible environments, terrain scarring
Ideally it would appeal both to people who want a power fantasy and people who want to be a rank and file mook against overwhelming odds.

I rate 8/8 m8

pussy

The Voima dev is making his dream game

>>713561126
thanks anon feel free to steal it, I'm not going to do anything with it

I have a story idea and since I am most likely never going to make it real I'll just say it
what if you play as the hero at then end of his journey with maxed out everything and all sorts of busted moves and abilities/weapons and his gf and friends are with him cheering him on to beat the final boss all when you start the game

You first beat your evil doppelganger who is way weaker than you since the hero already did the grinding and training arcs, then you leave him defeated to fight the final boss, you beat him easily but in the cutscene you sacrifice yourself to end him

some weeks later, the game actually starts and you play as the dark doppelganger who is now wondering his place now that both his boss and his rival who he was only created as a mere shadow of to fight was finally gone

Insert player choices if be it one to replace the big bad by becoming more powerful or even replace the good dead hero as the next champion or something else entirely, drama between you and the hero's still alive friends and gf and you have to start from the ground up with weaker dark versions of the heroes' powers

Well, it's a fucking wall of text but I got it off my chest

>Have dream about awesome, unique video game idea never been done before
>Forget it upon waking.

>>713552464 (OP)
This is literally what every indie developer thinks and when their like-like-like-like-like game finally releases it sells like 50 copies with mixed reviews
You are a faggot

>>713552464 (OP)
What you lack is skill and drive

Actually why is that common? The idea guys can't do shit while people who can do shit and often have no creativity and their games are shallow clones. Is it it truly that hard to have both good ides AND not be a useless sack of shit?

i have the perfect game idea
project zomboid but less shitty and with a real dev team
please make it, my career is in another field
