anyway game ideas , doing clean up style games , may be and attempt to coherce players into learning tasks they hate , as such you will find they lose interest rather quickly , playing games regardless like gta5 or fallout 76 the grind becomes monotonus , and interest is lost , maybe parts of the game could incoparate some of the features your sujesting but dont make it the main objective , just something that the players will observe , untill they find a way to deal with it as it makes the game a bit messy for them , as to story i would look to making the game world as more of an aftermath of bad managment , and maybe a natrual disaster of two happened that crated the sociaty and story of the game to the way you see it working , gamers are gamers , so a good amount of action ,quests and missions that keep players playing , sounds a good goal
in the game i am planning ,(please respect game rights for the idea) the earth was subject to a metor strike , ships (with goods etc ) flead to deep water to ride out the impending sunamies , and global earthquakes that would follow , most congragated in the weeks prior to a point in the mid pasific, where by chance after the strike , the eathquakes that followed lifted a new contintent out of the ocian , as the ships themselves now left high and dry on this new continent had all the tec needed to rebuild , set in the near future so things like 3d building printers , and an array of new tec , was the cargo of the ships , the game begins a bit further in the future where new small cities and such have been built , while the governments of the rest of the world had long since collapsed unable to cope with the aftermath , multiplayer rpg survival game , with a fair amount of action guarding the new state from rebels and mutated animals from the toxic nuclear winter that followed
a lot of dev work to do alone , but maybe get others interersted when i get some code working , and im suposed to be retiered and this a hobby
at the moment still stuck trying to get UE5 up and running fully so i can start game dev, doing it for my son who will own the rights to it while i am left teaching him programming etc , till the student becomes the master , he already as a good idea of dev work but no real experiance
