I’ve got a few questions about having a game playable accross multiple platforms.
I don’t have an console is it possible to test how it would be on console using my PC with a controller?
How do GUIs work on console? Do I have to create a way that they would be selected or does ROBLOX have something build in for that?
Is it worth it? I wouldn’t say it’s super complicated but it is a-lot more work to make things playable across all platforms, is it actually worth it? Do a-lot of players use console?
If you used TextButton then roblox will count it as clickable ui and console players will be able to use it without anny additional scripts. Btw you can use gamepad connected to pc/phone to test how it works for console players.
Yes, just connect your game pad. There’s built in support for XBox controllers, and I’ve had success using my DualShock 4s both wired and wireless using ds4windows which is free software that makes things work with ds4 that don’t originally support it.
About 3% of players play on consoles, but that probably doesn’t include PC players using game pads. If you’re just trying to make your game accessible to most players, then develop first and foremost for touch screens, then keyboard/mouse, then for gamepads.
Unless the game you want to makereally really just works better with a gamepad, or in other words if you don’t mind making a worse business decision but a better design decision.
If you click on the tablet/phone icon in the top right corner this bar will appear, through which you can choose from a wide variety of different device types & resolutions to test your game in (including Xbox).
