Beginner game ideas?

I’m a beginner and I’ve made some things before but I’ve never actually published anything, does anybody have an idea for a game that could be made by a beginner like myself?
I like horror for example, does anybody have ideas for that? (it doesn’t need to be horror).

Top down arena is always an option. Or do the new approach and use ChatGPT.

Look up some 80’s arcade games, and replicate those. The first ones were fairly simple, and a decent goal to aim for.

Tetris is great

What I saw: A lot of people create some simple space-shooters…: The player can move left and right and shoot some enemies which are spawning north.

From my experience, go for some kind of a runner game or a top-down shooter game. Dont try 3D as it would mess up.

The real answer is whatever you find most fun to do. If you like horror then make a simple game where a monster chases the player and very slowly catches up… then add a speed increaser for the player and even the monster… then add doors ways… walls… obstacles to use to advantage… finally a story and ending. One hop at a time and you will get there in time!

Umm… This post is from 4 months ago.

If You want to create tetris theres also a example that would help you in gdevelop

Don’t start with some big project, I’d suggest working on a small little prototype maybe a platformer
