TIMELESS - Timer Survival PvP Concept (Feedback Wanted)
Hey r/robloxgamedev,
I’ve been working on a game concept called TIMELESS and I’d love to get some thoughts from other developers.
Core Concept:
Every player has a large visible countdown timer above their head that represents their life. When it hits zero, you’re eliminated.
Gameplay revolves around:
- Completing jobs, missions, and objectives to gain time
- PvP combat where killing players lets you steal part of their timer
- Strategic zone play: Safe Zones (slow drain), Risky Zones, and High-Reward Zones (fast drain but big payouts)
It’s a blend of survival, PvP, and strategy. The longer you survive, the more of a target you become, which creates constant tension and interesting decisions.
I’m currently thinking through systems, progression, monetization (time boosts, cosmetics, etc.), and overall balance.
Would appreciate any feedback from fellow devs:
- Does the core loop sound fun / viable?
- What potential issues or cool additions do you see?
- Any similar mechanics you’ve seen that worked well?
Open to hearing thoughts on scripting challenges, UI ideas, or anything else development-related.
NOTE: if you can dev, dm me
Thanks!
