Hello! I was working for the last 2-3 weeks at my game called Zombie Run.
As I updated enough the game I think it is good for an stress test.
Some things you need to mind:
This game was VERY much GPU bound, so if you had an bad one you whould crash.
After one week of optimizations, from 20 FPS on an GT 220 and 40 on an Intel I5 10th gen iGPU I got up to 50 FPS on GT 220 and 110 on an Intel I5 10th gen iGPU
It is only compatible for Computer for now
It has an basic anti exploit, be free to test it
The servers has up to 40 players
Current bugs:
Zombie AI is confuzed sometimes (Working on an Behavior tree that should work better)
Minimap is kinda trashy.
Be free to comment Lag Issues(Specify your RAM, GPU and CPU will help me an lot)
Comment bugs you found
Also, the builds(and the zombie character) is are free models as I’m an scripter, not an builder. When getting robux I will get some ads and builders.
Also, the gun is reused from an old FPS game I used and slighty modified.
As said, Minimap is lagging some people.
Someone said that his gun broke down
Reviving wont work(I updated from R15 to R6, so that may be the cause)
Immense lag with many players(atleast for my GT 220)
Same Private keys for Rounds, so everyone will be teleported in the server’s custom private key instead of always an different one!
People raported the same! The problem is actually from the minimap.
This was an intentional feature. I will make it to be 3D and not that loud. The game is supposed to be more realistic.
Also, were you on the 7 player test server?
I tested on 2 servers.
The first one were around 7 players.
The second one around 2 players.
Stress resoults:
Both servers:
Minimap lag
Zombie death was buggy
Revive feature broken
Second server:
Zombie death was funtional, but an little buggy.
First server:
Intense amounts of lag because of the mini map.
Zombie death was completly destroyed.
Updates I’m planning:
Shop
Get points by hitting zombies
Special round every time, not every server having its own public private server key
Help bot(a lot of players were having an hard time joining the rounds)
Note that I’m not the best at english, as I’m not born in America or UK.
The testing period has concluded, thank everyone who participed or just helped in any way!
Hi Bloxxy,
Your game concept is pretty good (while not entirely original) however I noticed a couple of things:
Lag. Lots of it. I have no clue what my PC specs are, but it is made for gaming and has an Intel I5.
Joining the game. The matchmaking system was quite unclear until somebody pointed it out to me. Try to make that bit stand out a lot (such as in games such as Eviction Notice, where you stand on a large and very noticable pad to enter the game). I also ended up joining a server that was already in the middle of a match, though I’m pretty sure you know about that issue already
Guns. They felt a bit outdated, especially with the shooting effect. Maybe try to use a beam or particle effect and a bit of camera shake to make it feel a bit more lively? The gunfire sound also seems a bit too repetitive, so maybe use multiple gun sounds that are chosen by random to fix that (I’m pretty sure things like Arsenal use that, but you don’t notice it until it’s gone!)
anyway imma stop being picky have a good day cya
EDIT:
on your more recent post with what your planned updates are, i’d suggest fixing some of the core features before moving onto new ones
I was in a server with you but when i joined you quitted so i don’t know for the gun sound i mean that is too loud and also the reload one shouldn’t be for everyone.
kinda confusing since i coluldn’t see any changes when the zobie dies or when i shoot the zombie
also i couldn’t see the start letter in the yellow button in lobby screen
This is an intentional feature, made because the game needs to be realistic. When I hire an builder and someone to do the lighting you will see what I mean by that!
Thanks for the suggestion! I will add this into the new update!
I removed the minimap for an while as it was buggy. It was creating lag and trying to remove the lag was just breaking the concept of the minimap (To see where the zombies are) thank you!
You added a invisible wall around the stairs in the lobby is not fun. The gun shooting gives me a headache with motion sickness. You need to change the gun. Your zombies don’t have a death animation. They disappear. You have no rounds and the game gets boring fast. You die and you just lay there in the ground. You need a spectator view or make the died players turn to zombies. There is no clear objective to the game.
It is made to prevent players going into tests areas
I’m using an Shake module for the shakes, I will fork them when I get back to my computer
I said that I’m no builder.
It is working in studio but not in game. When I change them into R6 I will redo the death animation
Actually pressing “Start” gets you into the lobby, and after you wait 60 seconds an round starts. When all players die I will add so that you automatly teleport into the lobby again
This game is made to be fun in multiplayer. If you have less than 5 players or atleast someone you can talk with it gets boring
You actually are put into an death animation and someone can revive you. But because its only you in the server no one can do it. I will add so when everyone dies you will teleport into the lobby again.
Good ideea! after the revive period if you wont get revived you will turn into one!
But we can’t forget about the big ol suggestions and problems to the game…
Testing the game a little bit with the appearence of @CaptainAlexWest in there, we saw that after getting killed by the zombies, you can’t respawn or go back to the main area of the game (aka lobby), you just be completely oofed:
If you make this, it’s going to be good and it won’t appear the flying and 0.5 tranparent brick that don’t look good to be appearing in the “middle”:
You should also make somewhere in the main lobby or make a button that’s going to a store to buy gears because If you just have the points but you can’t spend them, they are going to be useless:
Plus, try to also make a premium section so when the player buys the premium, he’s going to receive a specific gear that it’s from premium (aka a VIP gamepass).
Once you add more stuffs that I told to be better, don’t forget to configurate the Help Bot that it’s going to give you a little bit of a tutorial around the map.
ă…¤
In the fixing part, you should make a script that when you die from a zombie, you would need to wait and spectate players during the round or If they don’t want to, make a button so they can go back to the lobby and start a new round with other players.
And a most important thing, try to make your own style of a map because after checking it, I noticed that you just took a model map from the old known game called Twisted Murderer.
I don’t know If you took as well for the round map but try to make your own maps, it’s going to take some time but taking or not, you are going to show yourself that you can have a good creativity and can do much stuffs instead of copying and pasting it which you didn’t worked and didn’t showed your creativity, just took something done. Remember this!
When you are offed you are in an “revivable” state. If you are with multiple players they will see you as an radgoll on the ground and if they click on you you will revive.
Im adding if you dont get revived in 30 seconds you become an zombie.
Currently you receive 10 additional damage by owning Premium, however I will add more.
This is just an beta version of the robot. I will rework him!
I just got an free model of an lobby I found, as I dint get an builder yet.
The game or the Help Bot should say that because without telling it, people are just going to be oofed and left the game and say that you should fix it this “problem”.
I think you should say what you are going to receive If you sign for premium just like what Roblox says in the Premium Payouts rule.
You can hire some builders in the category #collaboration:portfolios or #collaboration:recruitment. If you don’t want to hire it, remember that you can make by yourself and learn more stuffs with the plugins and many other stuffs that Roblox Studio gives you, I know that you can do it and have a good ol creativity, always believe in yourself!
). I’m planning to do an help bot(or something like that)
