Serious I have a game idea

[クーロ]

Extremely unlikely that I'll go back to working on it but I want your insights. I've already decided on the setting of the game being set in a fictional version of the African continent. Not wakanda but a reimagining of African history for aesthetic purposes. The issue is I don't know what to make the gameplay like. At first I wanted it to be a PS2 era action game like God Hand but making your first game be in 3d sounds exhausting. I thought about making it a regular turn based RPG but I find those boring so I'd need something to keep it fresh but I don't know what. For now I've opted to make a Diablo clone with Ragnarok Online style graphics so I can stick with 2d sprites for the characters and have an excuse to use low fidelity 3d models for backgrounds. Thing is even the Diablo clone can get boring without enough things to keep you going and I'm not very creative. I can't even draw lol. What do you folks think

What do you folks think

I think you should hire pajeets to make it for you.

Then learn to draw

Nigga I'm dead broke. Even if I wasn't hiring someone to make games from me would reduce me to an ideas guy I need the skills

You lack the skillz to negotiate

And the creativity to claim and front.

Do you think stan lee created all those capeshit comics by himself. Do you think he thought of Peter parker and all his social life in his head then learned to draw over night?. Fuck no. He took over as editorial and claimed all the fame while some guy called steve ditko did all the work.

Corporatism is the future.

Corporatism is the future.

Maybe for people who want to get famous and make it a career. I don't plan on releasing the game or doing anything with it it's just something productive to keep me occupied while including all of my hobbies. I like history, so rewriting it for the game is a good excuse to study it. I like computers, so this is a good excuse to code. I like art, so this is a good excuse to draw. I like 3DCG so this is a good excuse to learn how to replicate PS2 era graphics etc. I need to develop my skills in a way that's not overwhelming

tldr

I used to think that I could just think up a game and do it.
unfortunately thats not how it works unless you are a gay black retarded trans woman with a jewish backer
you need to know how to make the game you are trying to make.
anything you dont know how to do you need to get people that specialize in it.
what you really want to do is do something you know you can do

I do, but I don't know what direction to take it in. I made this thread precisely to avoid being an ideas guy. I made a rough mock up of a character walking around but never went past that. I know how to make a game but don't know what direction to take yk

who the hell is Kunta Kente

I don't want to get bossed around per se but want some feedback. I'm horrible at making my own decisions

turn based RPG but I find those boring

Its most of what I play but most people think of final fantasy
also sometimes branching skills trees make it fun enough.
