Creating a Airplane Simulator!

Hello everybody! I'm Flynn and I am going to make an Airplane Simulator with my little brother Steven. Our goal is to make an Airplane Simulator that everyone with a simple processor and a graphics card can play without requiring a powerful and expensive one that not everyone can afford! For example, Microsoft Flight Simulator. It is a very cool looking game and it takes a lot of processing power. It's also expensive too! Since a big corporation made that game, they wanna make money off of it, so the in app purchases are very pricey inside the game too! We cannot afford it because we don't have powerful computers and money to just buy games like that. There are a bunch of free to play flight engines, but either they are old or the graphics are very old fashioned. We want to make a modern game with good enough graphics and smooth gameplay. There are a bunch of games like that in Roblox and they run fine on average computers! A lot of people don't like to play games on Roblox because it's pretty childish and it's mostly poorly made, but if we bring those types of games outside of Roblox, people will love it! That is why me and my little brother are going to make a free to play airplane game with very cheap in app purchases.

The Game Design

The game is going to have land and water and islands or continents you can fly to. There are going to be runways on all of the big islands of course. There will be Modern and Old Planes that you can fly. There will be planes of all sorts. Military, Commercial, Private, you name it! All of the planes will be free! You can choose what plane you wanna pilot, and you have full control!

There will be paint jobs you can get done on your planes. You can get custom or in-game ones that you can paint on your plane. For custom paint jobs, you can color your plane however you want to, and put decals(stickers) to decorate your plane. For example, you can make a blue and white plane and put 'Air Force One' as your decal and decorate it. Now when it comes to in-game ones, some are gonna be free and some are gonna be paid access. That is the only thing that will cost you money in this game. The good part is, you don't need paint jobs to enjoy the game. Sounds awesome doesn't it?

Controlling the plane will come in various versions that you can select. 1. Mouse Controls 2. Keyboard Controls 3. Realistic Controls (For people who have realistic plane controllers for aircraft games) 4. Game Pad Controls. The players can select whichever suits them best!

PVP is going to be part of the game, as there will be Military planes in the game. Players can choose to have PVP toggled or not, so that they will not get shot down when they are in Commercial planes for example. This also prevents people from abusing their weapons in their Military planes. There will be a way to tell if the plane is hostile or friendly in the game so you will know who to shoot down.

Airlines and Air Forces will be part of the game for people to get together. Airlines will have points so that you can compete against other airlines. Airlines can get their very own paint jobs for their planes. All the players who are part of an airline will have access to the paint job. You can get points for your airline by flying around the world and finishing jobs. The more people you have in your Airline will probably equal more points. Air Forces can fight other air forces or ally with other air forces and have epic battles in the world! Just like Airlines, Air Forces will have a point system. The more planes your Air Force shoots down, the more points you get. Communities like this really make open world games like this feel more alive and fun.

Missions and jobs will be the main thing that will motivate most people to play. Some people have all the fun just flying around imagining that they are flying a real plane right now, but most people get bored if they don't have a goal. Of course, you can choose to fly where ever you want and however you want, but if you choose to work, that option is always open. There will be Airports and Airbases in the game, so if you get your Commercial jet and dock at a gate, you will get a list of different flights you can choose and fly them. In the Air Base, there will be NPC Officers who will give you a list of missions you can choose from and execute. The harder or farther the mission is, the more points you get after completing them. Points will be distributed to your Airline or your Airforce depending on your mission and you will also get points for yourself.

Your pilot career is gonna be part of the game for you to show off how good and experienced a pilot you are, or you can use it to get into competitive airlines or air forces. This will not affect any of the gameplay at all. All combat and flights will rely on the Pilot's Skill and nothing else. When it comes to your pilot ranking, there will be two branches. For the commercial side, there will be an ordinary pilot ranking system just like the real world. The same goes for the Military side. Although not every Air Force in the world uses the same ranking system, the game will have its own unique ranking system similar to the USAF ranking system because it's the one I am most familiar with. You can get your pilot points by getting flight minutes and completing missions.

Lastly, Lisences will act as tutorials in this game. Some people who are not familiar with airplane games will probably have trouble flying the plane and understanding the game, but all they need is a simple and easy tutorial! If you are experienced with flying airplanes in the game and don't need tutorials, you don't need to get licenses as they are not required for flying aircraft in this game.

If you made it this far down, you are a real one! Thanks for reading my plan for our Airplane Simulator and please consider donating money as we will need them to buy better computers as we need good computers to be able to run good Game engines well along with 3D modeling software. I will also use the money to hire people to make some of the 3D models that we need for the aircraft and the world. I want to release this game as soon as possible and I don't want to do a sloppy job trying to speed things up, so hiring people like them will be necessary.
