Brawl Stars

[fringe gate]

Yo, I got stuck in my Roblox Studio journey. I started since end december 2025. I know about the basics (BrawlDev Beginner Series + RemoteEvent, RemoteFunctions, Task functions, module script, Client vs Server and GUI), but I don't know about apply in a system, game or mechanic. However I did have a Empire Clash project with a very simple flag mechanic and shop gui, but didn't touch since March. I did the project after stopping with Tower Defense tutorials. I need also some ideas to make a feasible game, but not very standard such as obby and tycoon. Mine ideas are: sort of Empire Clash (roblox game) or sort of SCR (train game in roblox) or Brawl Stars or Restaurant Tycoon 3 if it needs to be feasible.

this isn't reddit so i don't believe you can make posts like this here, but the advice id give is to start with small and simple game ideas as you're still new. Make it easy to finish and produce so you can feel what it's like to fully complete a game. Then as you get better, ramp up the complexity with the games you make. When you get good is when you go after a game you really want to create. While you make the simple games, learn more about game development, the steps to make a game feel polished, fun and functional and as you improve you begin making harder games

I would advise you look at how the creator of stardew valley made his game. Very inspiring

[sick minnow]

Pretty sure you can make posts like this

atleast the rules dont say you cant

[fringe gate]

Yo @sick minnow how to begin if I want to make a game like restaurant tycoon 3 or something.

[fringe gate]

@broken harness

[sick minnow]

Well what exactly do you have as a problem

Like you cant start making it?

or

[charred veldt]

what projects have you worked on since finishing the tutorials

[charred veldt]

split your project into an idea of the multiple systems you'd need (such as a food list and a staff system and a building system)

[fringe gate]

It is so confusing when I want to start and what I need

[charred veldt]

start by working on any system that doesn't have any dependencies

it's helpful to make a trello account so you can easily organize your progress and easily list what systems you need for your project (but far from necessary)

[fringe gate]

I have already trello

[sick minnow]

Have you like Made anything at all? besides just watching the tutorials

[fringe gate]

Yes

I have made a flag (territory capture) mechanic

And shop gui

[sick minnow]

Like you know how to do stuff but cant combine them into systems?

or smth

[fringe gate]

Exactly

[charred veldt]

if i were to make a restaurant tycoon thing i'd either design the building system or the main menu first
then once the building system is done i'd add the bare minimum functionality models (such as stoves, tables and counters) and make them functional within my design
then i'd develop the customer NPCs
then i'd develop the employee NPCs

[sick minnow]

Well just try to do one thing at a time, like not everything at once i dunno

[charred veldt]

that's how i would probably go about making a restaurant tycoon thing

[sick minnow]

and i recommend to finish 1 project instead of having like 100 of them not finished

[fringe gate]

I heard that

But what is the most important to begin with?

[sick minnow]

Anything

[digital plaza]

** You are now Level 10! **

[sick minnow]

even making games just makes you better at scripting

well personally worked for me i guess

[charred veldt]

in my experience it's a good idea to prioritize anything that gets you towards a minimum viable product (a game with some real gameplay)

[sick minnow]

but you can make a game you want to make the most

atleast try to

[charred veldt]

then move on to other systems from there

prioritize the minimum viable product since i find that playing a game makes me want to develop it and i struggle with motivation beyond a certain point

[fringe gate]

It is already a lot of months going by and still don't have a game. I'm going to do first trello.

[digital plaza]

** You are now Level 8! **

[sick minnow]

Well what kind of games have you tried making?

and what made you quit each one

[fringe gate]

@sick minnow I did try making Empire Clash (is a game in roblox). But I didn't touch it for a while.

[sick minnow]

Yeah but did you quit working on it?

[fringe gate]

Kinda bcuz of confusion, school, don't know what to do and etc.
More of didn't thought to get back.

Things that are relevant for multiple systems.

But now I have this and next week holiday

[fringe gate]

@sick minnow , @charred veldt i have my trello

[charred veldt]

looks fairly good

[digital plaza]

** You are now Level 1! **

[fringe gate]

what to do now?

[charred veldt]

well

you open a game in roblox studio

and you choose a system to add

i'd start with the money system just to get it out of the way quickly

if the money is going on the roblox default leaderboard then you'll need a somewhat more complex money implementation with a display money value in leaderstats and a real money value elsewhere

with code something like this:

displayMoney = nil
realMoney = nil

realMoney.Changed:Connect(function(val)
    displayMoney.Value = math.floor(val)
end)

this is just to prevent a bunch of ugly useless decimals on the leaderboard

and if the leaderboard will be displaying something like "1.67K" or "1.33M" in the future you'd also need an implementation like this with a stringvalue for the displaymoney

and a function to convert from full to shortened

[fringe gate]

Using a normal leaderstat from Roblox self?

[fringe gate]

Do you mean the roblox standard leaderstats and this

[charred veldt]

you put your displayvalue in the roblox standard leaderstats

and your real money value goes elsewhere

[fringe gate]

'''game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
leaderstats.Parent = player

local cash = Instance.new("IntValue")
cash.Name = "Cash"
cash.Value = 0
cash.Parent = leaderstats

end)

displayMoney = nil
realMoney = nil

realMoney.Changed:Connect(function(val)
displayMoney.Value = math.floor(val)
end)
'''

where to put the function?

[charred veldt]

at that point i just might make the code look something like uhh:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
    leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
    leaderstats.Parent = player

    local cash = Instance.new("IntValue")
    cash.Name = "Cash"
    cash.Value = 0
    cash.Parent = leaderstats

    local realcash = Instance.new("NumberValue")
    realcash.Parent = player
    realcash.Value = 0
    realcash.Changed:Connect(function(val)
        cash.Value = math.floor(val)
    end)
end)

[fringe gate]

and then?

[charred veldt]

put that in serverscriptservice

[fringe gate]

i have already

[charred veldt]

maybe name the realcash value other than that it's fine

[fringe gate]

    local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
    leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
    leaderstats.Parent = player
    
    local cash = Instance.new("IntValue")
    cash.Name = "Cash"
    cash.Value = 0
    cash.Parent = leaderstats
    
    local gameCash = Instance.new("NumberValue")
    gameCash.Parent = player
    gameCash.Value = 0
    gameCash.Changed:Connect(function(val)
        cash.Value = math.floor(val)
    end)
end)

[fringe gate]

here

[charred veldt]

no i mean like

[digital plaza]

** You are now Level 2! **

[charred veldt]

name the value

gameCash.Name = "RealCash" or something like that

[fringe gate]

what do you mean

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
    leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
    leaderstats.Parent = player
    
    local cash = Instance.new("IntValue")
    cash.Name = "Cash"
    cash.Value = 0
    cash.Parent = leaderstats
    
    local gameCash = Instance.new("NumberValue")
    gameCash.Name = "RealCash"
    gameCash.Parent = player
    gameCash.Value = 0
    gameCash.Changed:Connect(function(val)
        cash.Value = math.floor(val)
    end)
end)

@charred veldt

[charred veldt]

yeah that looks good

[fringe gate]

whats is the next step?

[charred veldt]

pick any and work on that

[fringe gate]

is the money system done?

[charred veldt]

or at least just pick an essential

[charred veldt]

yes

for the most part

[thin edge]

Why do u parent game cash to the plr?

[charred veldt]

so that it doesn't appear on the leaderstats in order to get ugly decimals out of the leaderboard

it's not an issue if you have a custom leaderboard implementation

[fringe gate]

yo

[charred veldt]

also you can later change the display cash value to a stringvalue to represent big numbers as things like "1.43K" or "7.43M"

if you know you're gonna need it, it's a good idea to start working with a realcash/displaycash separation instead of having to retrofit the entire game when you need to work with decimals

[fringe gate]

i have now the list

[fringe gate]

Now i know. But what is the next best step?

@charred veldt

[charred veldt]

the building system

[charred veldt]

please have some patience

[fringe gate]

ok

[fringe gate]

how to begin with?

[charred veldt]

start by making UI for building, then make one build, then make the client-sided build script, and then add the server-sided build script

[fringe gate]

seems looking difficult

[charred veldt]

it is difficult but i don't really know how you'd fare with it

i myself learned through a mixture of hands-on experience and gradual acquisition instead of taking a course

so i don't know how you'll fare

i trust you can do it if you stick to what you've learned already

[fringe gate]

Im now making the GUI

[uneven chasm]

https://paypal.me/slimeyfriend1

and i help u

[fringe gate]

I made a beginning

When clicked on the box (Build) the player gets a buildmenu

the title of buildmenu "Building" to "Build", my fault

@charred veldt

i didnt do the code yet

but this a idea

[charred veldt]

the ui looks fairly good honestly

[charred veldt]

now i'm off so i'd rather be able to fully devote my attention to my work on my own projects at this point

creating your first mouse-placement system is a long cancerous affair

a youtube tutorial can probably do it more justice than i can

(also my mouse-placement system code always ends up being absolute spaghetti)

[charred veldt]

which is to say i'm: gonna go now

[thin edge]

Don't just say inventory system or building system. Instead write down everything in detail, every bit of the mechanic. For example for cooking write like: Fish cooking: plr picks up fish puts it into or onto something(depending on what u wanna do with the fish) (play anim) then the cooking/frying starts fish changes color overtime sound plays ehen the fish is just perfect snd plr has to take it out if not then it's gonna worth less (and maybe the cooking place catches on fire.)

[fringe gate]

Ok

I changed my mind. I'm going to recreate Brawl Stars. Restaurant Tycoon seems for me not fun.

I'm going to study harder to understand Roblox Studio

[fringe gate]

@thin edge I have done some things for roblox Brawl Stars

And idea for a name other than Shelly?

Brawl Stars

[broken harness]

thats kinda advanced if you're just starting out. The only advice i have for you is to break down each part of the game into it's individual components. Be like an engineer

The other thing

THIS will take time

do not get discouraged if you can't finish this in a month

just keep working on it, don't procrastinate into playing games when things get hard, and expand your time horizon

[fringe gate]

I think of making this after sleeping.

@broken harness

[raven osprey]

HOLY yap

just use chatgpt deep research mode

you'll get industry standard answers

[fringe gate]

Is that a good to do for tomorrow?

[raven osprey]

i dont know im not reading allat

put it into chatgpt to make a doc file

because aint noone is reading this shit

with the doc you can send it anywhere

you can even send it back to chatgpt to assess anytime

[broken harness]

you can't keep coming back to me for approval

if it's specific help idm helping

but you just gotta go for it

[fringe gate]

How to do: if i press on the play button -> teleport to game
And how to make Hub the main place and not Blox Stars (game itself)?

[fringe gate]

@broken harness , i have a question

[molten rampart]

cant ai explain it

[fringe gate]

it is complex

[molten rampart]

not that complex

[fringe gate]

But how to Get "Hub" as a main place where players go first?

[fringe gate]

What I made so far today.
Startscreen (mainplace) -> Loadingscreen (teleportationservice) -> Main Screen (hub)
I did today:

• mainscreen (lobby) background with play button
• made my experience multiplace
• built a teleportation service
• fixed code 773
• made custom loading screen

[hollow venture]

yo

[fringe gate]

@hollow venture yo

[hollow venture]

oh im not scripter

[fringe gate]

@hollow venture but what do you think what i made so far?

[hollow venture]

its good

[broken harness]

use google, youtube and roblox documentation

if you can't figure it out still, then ask question

[broken harness]

but you're going good so far

you should focus on the gameplay element tho

[fringe gate]

@broken harness I also made the play button work
