Game Idea - Feedback Needed

Other Courses Ask
#1

I kindly need feedback on a game concept I’m prototyping.
I don’t have a playable prototype yet, but needed to guage the interest in the concept and see what everyone here thinks about it please.

I’m working on a top-down survival rougelike game.
The game is going to be similar to Vampire Survivors in terms of retro style and basic gameplay progression, but with a twist: you play as a hotrod or various other beefed-up vehicles!
So your power-ups come in the form of new weapons, engines, and car parts instead of magic and such.

The game will also instead be set in an open world that’s procedurally generated to keep each playthrough fresh and exciting. There will still be different stages, but each will still be procedurally generated with their own unique look and feel.
I’m aiming for a balance between familiar survival elements and the thrill of vehicular combat and customization.

I’m working through the “Indie Game Success Roadmap” Course.
I got to lesson 17 and I’d like to gather some feedback on an idea I’m working on related to this course, to see if I can apply what I learned so far, a bit better.

I’d appreciate any feedback on this concept, especially in terms of:

  • Is this something you’d be interested in playing (and hopefully some detail on why yes or no).
  • Ideas for unique power-ups or car parts that you’d like to see or that you think would be fun to use.
  • Suggestions for locations you’d like to have levels based on that you think would be fun to play on.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts and suggestions.
I’m really looking forward to hearing back from everyone here!

I like the concept! It’s also a great idea to be asking for feedback like this, but the Ideas forum type is actually intended to be used for new course suggestions. I mention this because you’re more likely to get the sort of feedback you’re looking for if we move it to a more appropriate part of the forum. If you indicate which engine you’re using, I’ll place it in that forum’s Ask section for you =)

You may also want to check out our Discord server if you haven’t already, as it is probably better-suited overall for this sort of thing.

Thank you kindly Corey! :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:
My sincerest apologies for posting it in the wrong section.
How could I move it to the correction section?

I’m using GameMaker Studio 2 currently.

I’ll also be sure to check our Discord to look for feedback there.

Thank you again so much for your assistance and apologies once more for this mistake on my part

No worries at all! It’s not a big deal, we could’ve just as easily left it; I simply wanted to give you the best chance of getting the feedback you’re looking for.

I’ve moved the topic for you. Good luck =)
