A player-built ability system
Players combine shapes, effects, visual mediums, and restrictions inside a point budget. Their aura type changes what each combination costs.
Twelve-week Roblox course
Build NeNAdventures from first hit to launch day.
Design an original aura-ability game where players create their own powers, face tactical enemies, progress through a nine-map world, and duel with builds nobody pre-designed.

The project
What is NeNAdventures?
NeNAdventures is an original Roblox action game built around a custom-ability creator. Every player chooses one of six aura types, then combines a shape, effects, and a visual medium. Restrictions such as longer cooldowns or limited uses return points to the build, letting players trade convenience for power.
The core game loop
- 01Pass The Trial and unlock aura.
- 02Choose an aura type and its strengths.
- 03Create three abilities inside the point budget.
- 04Test the build against enemies, contracts, and players.
What the course covers
Creative game design built on real engineering systems.
Enemies with tactical personalities
One reusable state machine powers aggressive, cautious, opportunistic, objective-focused, and team-oriented opponents.
A complete playable release
The project grows into nine maps, progression, contracts, mastery, PvP, original audio, onboarding, and a published game.
The course arc
Each phase widens a working game. Every week ends with something another person can see and test.

Expand the possibility space
Playtest the creator, complete every shape and effect, then add types, mediums, and animations.
Weeks 7–9
Progression and game structure

Complete the loop and ship
Add contracts, mastery, PvP, the full world, original audio, polish, and a public release.
