Hey devforum!

I’ve been working on a new nametags system, and I’ve reached the point in development where I’d like to hear your thoughts on my progress.

Features:

  • Premium player support
  • Tools support
  • Chat filter support
  • Data storing
  • Fast multiplayer support
  • Gamepass requirement support
  • Limited spaces support

Play the active demonstration here.

If you have any issues, or find any bugs - please reply to this post.

This project is in development and the demo does not represent the finished version.

Oops - Will fix now. Sorry about that

I am going to be brutally honest:

  1. The roles and names are displayed too small to be easily read. They can be read, but very hard, and that is not good for the UX. Make the text bigger and easier to read.
  2. This is my opinion, the nametag is just big. It is in the way of seeing things in the game for example. Maybe make it a little bit smaller.
  3. When have chosen a role, the UI should automatically disappear.
  4. When I press player button, the UI takes too long to open.
  5. UI open/close animation is slow. Maybe reduce it or just remove the animation.
  6. Not everything needs a round edge to look good. Too much and it is surplus.
  7. Some text are not readable because the UI is too small. Test with different screen sizes.

Thank you for your honesty - I really appreciate it.
The scale of the UI hasn’t been tested yet, however I was hoping it had been scaled automatically to account for different sizes - I was wrong, and this will be changed asap.
The UI delay is due to some incorrections with tweens inside the UI, which I’ll be able to smooth over quite fast.

There are also some other things I’ll need to update like the biography input - as it requires the player to press Enter (or return) but the TextBox has the MultiLine property enabled (which is a bad oversight)

I’ll take this into consideration and will hopefully update the demo soon - thanks.

The demo has now been updated with some of these changes, including the fix for the UI animation delays, plus fixing the multiline issue with biography entry.

Please reply if you find any further issues.
