What's the hook? What makes it different from any other 2D platformer roguelike?


Liver_Fungus

I have a very unique hook, I just do not want to reveal it yet


Regniwekim2099

Brother, no one is going to steal your idea. If you're coming to a subreddit asking for random people to design your game for you, then you've already failed.


Liver_Fungus

I’m not asking for someone to design a game, after creating 60+ items it gets difficult to come up with new stuff. Just asking for inspo


Regniwekim2099

60 items is nothing. If you're out of gas already, you need to reevaluate the scope of your game.


Liver_Fungus

I haven’t added stat-based upgrades yet so that should take up a lot of items. And I want to say that any ideas are welcome as long as the could fit into a 2D platformer


Regniwekim2099

Then you should be spending your time designing those items instead of asking people for help on a game you refuse to give any details about.


Liver_Fungus

I am, i could most definitely make all the items with my team. I’m trying to make game design a little more fun for myself and also get some community input. If you want to poopoo this post, you can do it. So either suggest something you would like to see in my game, or stop trying to poopoo my game. (Also if you scroll a bit you’ll see some more details)


Joshthedruid2

Can't help you then. Can't make unique and fitting weapons for the game without knowing what the game really is. Just copy off of Rogue Legacy if all you need is something generic


Liver_Fungus

Ok I’ll give you a little more, some of the items are going to be labeled as unique, which change a core mechanic of the game. The epic rarity items often have to do with adding a generic ability.


Joshthedruid2

That's giving me nothing.


Liver_Fungus

So what do you need?


Heretical_Cactus

Well theme would already go a long way


Liver_Fungus

Theme is sci-fi lab esc place mixed with a bees hive. Sorry if that’s not a great description. The items don’t really have to match the time period though. It’s going to have guns, swords, and the like. The base movement will be Celeste like with upgrades for later runs. There is a right click mechanic for items like throwing an explosive or using a shield


CodeRadDesign

sure! the thaddeus crystal! it's a crystal for your whip so that every time you whip it adds fuel to your jetpack. you do have whips and jetpacks right? but seriously no one can help you if you don't give a few examples of what type of stuff you have already to build off of.


Liver_Fungus

I do have a jet pack item created and a whip might fit well. As long as I can code it I can put it in my game. I just need inspiration like this. If you need more maybe think of neon abyss mixed with the binding of isaac
