Backrooms Level 0 Feedback Wanted

The roof is already around player head height, you just can’t see because the images were taken in studio.

Not really what I want.

Planned

Planned, just need to finish Level 0.

Already is.

Planned.

Might be a bit difficult so I’ll leave that for a later update, likely after the full release.

Good idea.

I tried but they don’t look good because it gets too close to white.

Honestly I like them being squares.

Pretty sure those are the same but ok.

Light leaking? I guess I’ll try making it taller and see.

It doesn’t look good to me and I did not turn up either of those.

I’ll check it out and see.

I’ll try when Level 0 is done.

I might make another post after making those changes.

If that’s the case, make the studs per tile on the texture higher, it makes the whole place look larger than it should be.
Also, from the wall lining, it just looks high as heck as I assumed the wall lining was at the players waist or chest.

I made a backrooms structure kit once, and I would say I did the lighting pretty well on it.
I went and remade it later, but unfortunately I don’t have that updated version anymore.


Light color is 211, 190, 150
Again, for me, the lighting just looks too yellow, and if you don’t want it less yellow, make it less green and slightly more orange.
228, 178, 91 should be good for a more orange color, idk though, haven’t tested it in studio.

Also, if you take a look at images people have made of Level 0, the lights are actually pretty white instead of yellow.

And for the images where the lights look a lot more yellow, remember, the walls and floor are yellow.
So given the lights are yellow, its still going to be a very white yellow.
Looking at those images, the brightest part of the lights when they hit an object is closer to white than yellow.

It isn’t that hard once you’ve made private lobbies, you just have a code UI appear on the client, and send the code over through the server, if code is correct, put the player in the lobby.

I would also recommend storing lobby codes either in a table in the Server Script or in ServerStorage so exploiters can’t access them.

What i meant was that the shadow darkness was too bright, as well as the lights themselves.

This is what I mean by light leaking:

Making the roof taller fixes it.

Anything I didn’t reply to is because I don’t see an issue with that reply.

OK those lights look pretty good, I’ll try it out and see how they look.

Also, if you want, add a Color Correction into lighting and turn up the saturation and contrast, and lower the brightness.

What would that end up looking like?

I think the environment needs to be a lot brighter, the glow around the lights need to be reduced, but the actual environment feels dark when compared to the original photo. Also the carpet needs to be less stripey, and of course the lighting glitches needs to be addressed. Other than that I have no problems with it.

It should make the colors a lot more vibrant and the darks darker.
Sorry for the late response, im kinda busy tonight and its nearly 2am for me.

It’s fine, don’t worry.

Right then, I’ll try it out and see how well it fits.

I don’t really know how to do that since I’m using the neon material for the lights.

Already planned, just need to actually open studio and do it lol

The game’s called The Backrooms: Reimagined for a reason and honestly I prefer it dark, makes it feel a bit more liminal spacey and nostalgic.

Bloom effect in lighting.
You can mess around with that and that can reduce the glow from the neon parts.

Alright, I’ll mess around with that until something cool happens lol.

OK so I just went to check it out and as far as I can tell, it’s just GIMP (What I used for the current icons) but in my browser and with a better UI. Maybe I just didn’t look well enough but I’ll give it a try.

Kind of unrelated but do you know if that false termination glitch from a few weeks ago is still working? I want to know because I have a good few games and I want to unprivate them but I don’t know if it’s safe yet. I know I’m not likely to be targeted by the exploit but still.

This is my first time hearing of this exploit?

And considering I have a game that has been getting an average of 600 players daily for the past 3 weeks, and neither the game, my account or the group that owns the game has been terminated, I would say that it’s safe to assume that the exploit has been patched.

The X buttons are now red.

Summary

This text will be hidden

I have now fixed that and wow it makes a difference.

I tried turning up the studs per tile but honestly it looks best at about 15. Also made some lighting adjustments.

Second image with me for scale:

Scale seems to be good, lights still a tad too yellow (may just be the walls though) also now a little too dark, and also the carpet. change the materials to the 2020 materials. please. the old carpet texture is the worst thing in the world.

OK turns out it still exists (Unfortunately) and the reason your game still exists is because it only works on games with a very low/no active player count.

The game I was talking about were having an average of 2-4 people on at a time, their playtime just wasn’t too long and the game was kinda a clone of a pre-existing successful concept, which is why it was getting so many players a day. The game has died now, though. Getting around 20-40 players daily.

So I would assume the exploit would have worked on my game, as at peak it had 11 people on it at once and an average active player count of 2.
