How to make a piggy game roblox

Recently, the game ‘Piggy’ has been taking the Roblox World by storm. After launching itself onto the front page, the game, developed by MiniToon, has already achieved 1 billion visits, becoming the fastest Roblox game to do so.

The game is simple. Players are spawned into a map where they are locked inside – an escape room. Not only do you have to try and escape in under 10 minutes, you’re also being hunted down by a monster wielding a baseball bat who wants to kill you – the Piggy.

Although a Piggy is usually not thought to be evil and sinister, in this game the Piggy is the enemy. Do not get caught by the Piggy at any cost, because as soon as you’re killed, you’re out of the round.

The players who are trying to escape have to work together as a team to find keys which unlock other doors containing other useful items to help aid your escape. Only one tool or key can be equipped at once though – so you need to communicate with the others in the game to know who has what items.

If you run out of time and haven’t escaped the map, then the Piggy is handed the victory. Or, if the Piggy kills everyone with their baseball bat, then they will also win. The only way for the players to beat the Piggy is to find all of the keys and items and use them to escape the map. There is no way to kill the Piggy otherwise.

Usually the game will start with a intro cutscene, which creates a storyline for each chapter. Each new update to the game brings a new chapter. A chapter is basically a map and new story in the game. New keys, new challenges, new areas to escape – all within the 10 minute time limit.

What makes this Roblox game so special is the element of the unknown. Even though you might think it gets repetitive and boring after a few rounds, it really doesn’t. Unlike the genre of Murder games which can get repetitive, this game always has a new twist each round because you’ve got the escape room element which tasks you with finding items and getting to an exit. But you’ve always got to be on the lookout for the Piggy who suddenly might appear and try to capture you – leaving you on the edge of your seat and creating tension.

I’ve never got bored of Piggy and I don’t think I will – plus there are lots of different game modes that you can play. Each round you can choose of the normal rounds with either a bot playing as the Piggy or an actual player, or you can have an Infection round or a Traitor mode. Add in 10 more (and counting!) chapters and you have a really exciting game that will provide hours and hours of endless entertainment!

I recommend that when you play Piggy you do so with friends so that you can chat with each other and be on the same page – as I said, communication and team skills in Piggy are essential to win, so that you can tell each other if you see the Piggy or you get an item that’s required to unlock something.

I’ve found that talking to your friends using voice chat – on a service such as Discord – works best for these strategy games.

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hello, The Lost devs,

I am a small developer with low scripting skills, I wonder if I can make a piggy game like @MiniToon. I only wanna ask “What scripting element to make a piggy game?” such as Shop, Intermission and voting system, and Round system.

Hope you can help

1. You shouldn’t ask people to script you the entire game.

2. You should also try searching before asking.

A quick google search and you can find a good tutorial by AlvinBlox on the step by step process of making a “piggy” game.

If you’re new to scripting, then please do not start a big project like this. You’ll need a lot of knowledge in order to understand and create things in the game.

But, I wanna know what scripting element do I need to make the piggy game like ReplicatedStorage or CollectionService. I have been scripting for 2 years and I said I have a low scripting skill because I didn’t know much about it, I didn’t know about tick() and more

I really - really want to follow his piggy tutorial, but I don’t even learn something from his piggy tutorial because he only teach us with free model

Then you shouldn’t be just learn things that’s being needed for your game. You MUST learn everything, no matter what, even if they aren’t useful in the scripting, they would be useful at some point.

have been scripting for 2 years and I said I have a low scripting skill because I didn’t know much about it, I didn’t know about tick() and more

If you said you have a low scripting skills, then why bother defending yourself?

Oh, ok. Thanks for your information

I have wanted to create a piggy game before, I’d say you should start with a basic version of it, for example

ok so what is included in piggy?

1. opening doors
2. keys with locks
3. custom characters
4. story system
   etc…

but you need to make it basic so then do this.

1. instead of making the door smoothly open, you can just add a click detector and if it is clicked, then make the door invis and can collide to false and make a different part of the door appear and make it look like you opened the door

2. well this one is actually simple. All you have to do is that when the locked door is touched, see if the key tool touched it, if it is the key tool, then destroy the door, its how the piggy game works. This may seem hard but I’ve actually done it.

3. I would look at gnome codes how to make custom characters
   CUSTOM CHARACTERS - How to create, rig and animate - Bing video

4. I usually would do this when you got the basic concepts down, then you can add some bonus stuff

now if you want to know the complete list of what you need to know and what to do to make the basic concept of a piggy game, here is the list.

list of things you need to do

1. make a round system and instead of making the player become a piggy character, you can just give them a killer tool and when the tool touches a survivor, then kill the player
2. you need to make a script that when the player dies, you remove them from this survivor table that you have to create because, then how is the script gonna know if it is another piggy for infection mode (a.k.a more than 2 piggies), or if they are just a player thats not a survivor

what you should learn

1. basics of scripting(I will give you a table of this)
2. the really basics of tools
3. basics of map making
4. events(this is gonna be VERY important, you better master this)
5. camera controls

the basics of scripting

• variables
• functions
• for loops
• for i,v loops
• printing
• paramaters for functions
• events(I think)
• and I little bit of animating
• if then statements

I think this is the full list but I might missed a few

but any way, do you want me to continue?
