Keycap Raiders: A PvP Coin Collection Adventure
Budget: $10 – $100 USD
I'm looking for an experienced Roblox game developer to create an engaging and visually appealing tactile simulation game centered around giant keycaps.
Game Features:
- Players step on giant keycaps to collect coins.
- Collect unique "brainrot" pets.
- Rebirth for multipliers, adding depth to gameplay.
- Raid rival bases to steal pets in a high-stakes PvP environment.
Visual Style:
- Smooth, cartoonish art inspired by brainrot aesthetics.
Ideal Skills and Experience:
- Proficiency in Roblox Studio
- Strong understanding of PvP mechanics
- Experience with coin collection and pet systems
- Ability to create smooth, engaging cartoonish graphics
Please share your portfolio and relevant experience.
The core concept
A Roblox idle/simulator game where the entire map is made of giant walkable keycaps. Every step is a mini reward-loop: step on a keycap → it visibly depresses → you get a sound cue and Coins → it pops back up. That's the addictive "just one more step" hook the whole economy hangs off of.
1. Keycap Terrain (the moment-to-moment loop)
Every keycap tweens down 0.5 studs over 0.08s on touch, holds, then tweens back up over 0.12s — debounced so it can't glitch.
Base reward: Coins per step, scaled by the player's permanent Step Multiplier.
2. Mutations (spice on top of the base loop)
Wax Cap – rare, one-time 5x coin payout with a crunchy sound, then resets to normal.
Slime Cap – slows you slightly but pays passive coins/sec while you stand on it.
RGB Cap – cycles rainbow colors, grants a temporary +50% speed boost and a luck multiplier for egg rolls.
3. Pets & Economy
Egg hatching with auto-hatch, 7 rarities from Common (50%) down to Secret (0.01%).
Three egg pools (classic memes → modern memes → viral brainrot pets) with exponential per-zone pricing (Base × Multiplier^Zone).
4. Rebirth & AFK
Rebirth station: reset Coins for permanent Step Multiplier gains + Rebirth Tokens (cost also scales exponentially).
AFK Treadmill zone: standing in it auto-simulates steps and drops a "Brainrot AFK Gift Box" every 5 minutes.
5. Monetization layer (in progress, built in this order)
Steal/Raid system ✅ — walk into another player's base, hold for 8s, roll a success chance, steal a pet. This is the single biggest revenue lever in the genre (modeled on Steal a Brainrot).
Base Defense ✅ — free timed lock + a paid permanent Shield gamepass; alarm pings.
Gamepasses ✅ — VIP, 2x Coins, Auto-Hatch Unlock (gates the previously-free auto-hatch), Base Shield, cosmetic Keycap Trail.
Developer Products ✅ — coin packs, Rebirth Token packs, Luck Potions, instant Gift Box skip, alarm pings, a discounted starter bundle, plus tiered Server Luck boosts (2x/4x/8x, time-limited).
Still to build: FOMO limited-time events, private server perks.
Want me to keep going and finish FOMO events + private servers next?
