Collaboration to Develop a Survival and Strategy Roblox Game on an Island

Hello, My name is Esteves Clément, and I am working on an ambitious project for Roblox: a strategic survival game set on a hostile island. My goal is to create an innovative, addictive, and engaging game that can attract a large community and generate significant revenue through well-thought-out monetization. The Main Idea In this game, players are immersed in an island environment filled with challenges and dangers: They must survive against aggressive creatures that spawn unpredictably and become more challenging over time. To stay safe, players will need to gather resources (wood, stone, food, etc.), build shelters, and upgrade them to make them more resistant. Each upgrade requires more resources and more time to complete, but players will have the option to pay to speed up the process. The true strength of the game lies in its multiplayer mode: Players can choose to play solo or in teams of up to 5 members to make survival easier. A premium option will allow players to expand their teams, enhancing the community and competitive aspects of the game. Why This Game Can Succeed This concept combines: The thrill and excitement of survival, where every decision matters. A rewarding progression system, with clear objectives and shelters that evolve into fortresses. Natural monetization (accelerations, team expansions, cosmetics) that doesn’t frustrate free players but offers attractive perks for those who invest. With high-quality implementation, this game has the potential to become one of Roblox’s top titles and attract a large, active player base. Monetization Here’s how the game will generate revenue: Speeding up upgrades: Players can reduce wait times for upgrading their shelters. Team expansion: A premium feature allowing larger teams. Cosmetic items and customizations: Skins for characters, decorations for shelters, and more. VIP passes or subscriptions: Regular bonuses (resource boosts, daily rewards, etc.). Why Collaborate? I am ready to invest in this project to make it a standout game on Roblox. Moreover, if you believe in this project and its potential, I am willing to offer you a significant share of the game’s revenue as the lead developer. What I’m Looking For Skills: A developer capable of: Designing engaging survival and resource-gathering mechanics. Implementing smooth progression and monetization systems. Creating an immersive environment (the island, creatures, resources). Timeline: I’d like to move quickly but prioritize quality and originality above all. Terms Compensation: A significant share of the game’s revenue, in addition to a fixed payment if necessary, based on the agreement we establish together. Collaboration: I am available for regular discussions to ensure the project progresses effectively. If this project interests you and you’d like to discuss further, please don’t hesitate to contact me. I would be happy to exchange ideas and see how we can collaborate to create a successful game.
