Indie What changes should I make to this indie game idea I had?

Any improvements or ideas are appreciated

Indie - My Indie game idea

So recently I had this idea to make a game like One Shot with Undertale bosses called Ideallyment (random a— name I know it’s just a WIP), the story will revolve you escaping your abusive adopted parents at their home diner as a skunk obsessed mint lover with your best friend (who comes from a...

I would suggest getting the basic gameplay going before worrying too much about the story details, to be honest.

The most important thing is to get started.

Body-cam realistic graphics, huge open world, romance options, deep character creation, rich discord implementation, coop multiplayer, AI powered chatting with NPCs, and whatnot and congratulations you would develop a game new generation kids would love lol.

Yup that’s probably the thing I should worry about first

AI powered chatting with NPCs

Like in Hylics, right?

1+ this.

Never think about story, setting, aesthetic, visuals or whatever until you have the basic gameplay loop in your head or written down somewhere.

Thanks, I’ll do that, I already have the boss fights planned

It's gotta have a half-decent story though unless the gameplay is fairly epic. Good luck with it. ( It doesn't really if you just want to get one out and improve next time)

A little bit of character growth as the story threads on. How their journey shaped them in a very positive way.

Maybe give the game a little bit of in depth plot chemistry without getting too philosophical if that’s the way to put it and for whatever type of genre you plan on making the game (From what it sounds like to me drama) there could be a bit of overlapping comical or joyful elements within to maybe not make seem likes it’s too much of what it is. But all in all, I can’t wait to see or get more of a touch of whatever you have up your sleeves. Because this all sounds like something I’d very much enjoy

Quirky Earthbound Indie RPG, with Rogue-like deck building, zombies, battle royale, microtransactions, on disc DLC, mmorpg with unreal engine 7 DLSS 64 and can only run on a Nividia 970ti

I like these ideas

and the game is not based off of Earthbound, it’s based of One Shot and Deltarune

Hmm IDK about that but since I played Craftopia I had so much fun with chatting with NPCs that even animals by typing your message and AI answers you by being in the character lol. If this had used properly it will evolve RPGs. So you won't have to choose dialogue options, you can decide what to say as much as how tabletop RPGs are. This is the way to develop real RPGs lol.

Was a joke, but this is certainly not the future I hope for in RPGs or video games, any more than I want to see AI designing characters or environments.

Don't remove creativity from the creative process.

That's another topic but you kinda have no choice if you wanna actually interact with NPCs in a realistic way. No one can program and prepare an NPC in a way you can tell anything to it and it would react to it and have a conversation in a realistic way. The only way is AI lol. I can easily see such RPGs becoming so popular people will talk to NPCs so you would need a mic to be able to play the game or just type text message lol.
