Hi all.
Just starting seriously with unity. I’v been programming features for Linux operating systems commercially for nearly 2 years, but it was not what I wanted to do, what I want to do is game development.
So I would like to ask are there any things that people would specifically want to have produced? I’m trying to start out by making small modular scripts that could be put onto the asset market place at a low cost, or if anyone wants to take a chance with a newbie to the community I’d also be willing to look for a small scale project that may need a programmer.
At the present moment I have a script that generates a random dungeon, as I could not find a dungeon generator on the asset store at first glance. The size of the dungeon can be set in unity units, as can the block size of each section of wall. A two dimensional bool array can be obtained from the script that represents the map for path finding purposes and selecting spawning locations.
Are things like this a good road to go down? would people be interested in this? If not could I have some suggestions for alternate approaches / projects?
You know what would be a cool idea? A horror game where you only have a flashlight and the player doesn’t talk and he is getting chased by some enemy.
Nah no seriously you should take two unrelated game subjects and mix them. For example, I’m doing a bullet hell RPG game. You could do something like an open world RTS game or maybe a side scrolling simulator. You don’t have to make the game but you can make some helper scripts. Either way it should definitely gain attention for its uniqueness

Hi Krin! and good question… If you dig into google trends you find this top query’s:
- Cool games
- Games for girls
- Games for kids
(this are the top most interest topics) i dont think the category is that important, as longs your concept is “cool” and
can be for “kids” as well.
hey guys, and thanks for the replies.
I was not looking at making a game off the bat, but making scripts and things that people may be interested in getting off the asset store for their own games.
I’m not a great person for making game concepts, I’m more about the underlying mechanics. I was more wondering if there where any mechanics that people would want scripted up.
That said, I am now considering making a simple game to showcase said scripts that I’m working on, having a little demonstration can never hurt can it? and should help me see the scripting needs from another angle, that of the potential end user.
