RPG Scope Planner for Solo Devs
A web-based planning product that converts an RPG idea into a realistic build plan, effort estimate, and finishability score. The strongest demand signal is around uncontrolled scope growth, especially among technically capable beginners who underestimate content and polish work.
これが重要な理由
You start with a game idea that feels manageable because the core mechanics sound straightforward. Then every decision expands into connected work: menus, progression, balancing, art, dialogue, testing, and polish. As a solo creator, you do not just need a task list—you need help deciding what not to build. The real frustration is not lack of programming ability. It is the uncertainty around how big the project really is, how long it will take, and whether the current concept is finishable with your available evenings and weekends.

エビデンスの概要
AIがこのインサイトをどのように統合したか — 逐語的な引用はありません
This was the most repeated and highest-intensity pain across the discussion, with combined mentions in the low twenties. Contributors consistently described scope growth as the main reason solo RPG projects become unrealistic, and they emphasized that engine choice does not solve this. The need appeared across both beginners and technically experienced users, which strengthens the case for a specialized planning product.
