Help for a friend -> town of salem

Help
1

Town of Salem is a game similar to among us, without tasks. at the start of each round, people are assigned to 2 different teams. each team has its own roles, and each role has its own ability. The game is separated into a day and a night. At the start of the day, all the people who were knocked out are revealed, and their roles are revealed too. During the day, everyone discusses and gets to vote someone out. At night, the different roles can perform their abilities, but other than exceptions for the evil team talking to only each other, people cannot talk.

The Teams
Town - vote out the coven
Coven - curse or KO the town, can communicate with each other at night.

When someone is voted out, they are struck by lightning or something similar.

Roles

Town

  • The Spy, can “bug” someone at night to see what they do, there can be two of these
  • The Sheriff, can investigate people at night to see if they are “evil” or not, there is only one of these
  • The Investigator, can investigate people like the sheriff, but they instead get 3 possible roles, combos well with the sheriff, there can be two
  • The Doctor, can choose to save someone each night, if that person is attacked or poisoned [1] they can save them
  • The Vigilante, can KO one person the entire match, if they KO a town, they are KOed, there can be two of these

Coven

  • The Coven Leader, can curse one person per night, KOing them. There is one of these.
  • The Posioner, can poison someone every other night. If someone is poisoned, they will be shown to be poisoned during the day, if they are not saved by the next day, they are KOed, there can only be one poisoner
  • The Necromancer, can use the role of one KOed person per night, there is only one of these
  • Witch, can curse one person per night to find out their role.

Basically, how would me and my friend make this?
Final note: that is all the roles we want for this Gimkit Game, since the actual TOS would be too big

Have a great day!

Ah, this is like the game Werewolf (another maf1a type game)

Really cool concepts actually.

What are some problems you want help with first?

3

mostly the night system and base systems first, as my friend and I want a groundwork established

4

interesting.

The night system…

So basically, in the day time, you’ll want to confine everyone to one place (let’s call this the "Hub), and how you’ll do that it by sending a signal out when the game says it’s daytime, and it teleports EVERYONE in the map to the Hub.

For the night system, that’ll be a lot more work.

How will people communicate in game…?

Great. For the abilities, do you have any way to disable them during meetings?

11

So Im sure something as interesting as this it will be popular. :orangutan:

Cool, I’ll keep that in mind when asking questions.

oh, so it’s like betrayal. io also!
I’m not sure how you’ll make it to where you would vote at a certain time, besides pushing a button (actually maybe triggers might help)

try using some among us guides to base off of.
it may help with figuring out the game’s mechanics
