Hello and thanks for taking your time and reading!
 
This is a bunch of suggestions for a game creator
 
This game will be based off a survival type game but it has multiplayer as well
 
Suggestions: Your person gets thrown over board at sea by pirates than jumps in a floating device that drifts to the closest island. Your character than has to battle the harsh environment of this large island. There are a few Bars on the bottom left of the screen that show: Hunger, Fatigue, Hydrated and Warmth these will determine how your player deals with the environments challenges, for example if your player has Fatigue and doesn't get much sleep that will affect the time it takes to cut down a tree and another example is if you don't drink water and get dehydrated your player than cant sprint. 
 
Island: This is SUPER dense and thick with shrubby type bushes and really tall trees with vines on them, there are broekn branches laying around on the floor of the forest and rocks that can be filled with Charcoal or Metal Ore, Theres also rubbish scattered over the floor of the forest, things like Plastic, Sheet Metal, Plastic Tarp or simple things like Sticks and Logs. The floor is old brown leaves. Some parts of the island has nice beaches whilst other parts of the island has rocky cliffs. There will be wild animals through out this island that can hurt you or be a nice meal if killed. Some items can wash up such as Plastic bottles, Drift Wood, Plastic, Sticks, Mud, Clay Tin Cans and much more.

It seems to me that you want to design games, not really program them, or create assets for them. That's fine, but you've got to go beyond the general idea. If you want to convince other people to work on your idea, you have to work extra hard to convince them that your idea is, at the same time unique and possible. 

As a starting point, take a look at the short video below explaining what a game designer usually do

 

This thread does not belong in the Career Development forum (OP did not ask about how to get a career in games - he shared a game idea, perhaps in the hope that someone would make the game). It also doesn't belong in the Game Design forum (OP didn't ask for feedback on the concept), so this is moving to the Lounge for the time being.

I find eventual automation to be a great solution, games like Factorio and Minecraft both have good solutions. As the player progresses automation and efficiency increases allowing for more time to be spent on other activities rather than tedious operations.

Factorio's endgame is also well designed as the more automation your create, the more pollution you create which mutates and enrages nearby wildlife which ramps up attacks. Beating the game requires the player to maximize efficiency to reduce pollution to leave the planet (by building a ship at the top tiers of tech).

I personally hate how Minecraft made two aspects of the game competing with eachother. Exploration and base building. The procedurally created world is amazing to explore and full of wonder, but the amount of time dedicated to climb the tiers of technology and difficulty of moving a base make exploration less feasible. I'm sure there are mods out there that help promote exploration, but it was one of my (minor) annoyances with Minecraft.
