What do you want to achieve?
Identify what might be contributing to a really low rating of our new game. Is there an obvious issue we are missing so that we can fix it.
What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!
We are basically the lowest rated Zombie game on Roblox after 3 days funding.
What solutions have you tried so far? I have been into the game checked control panel for performance and error messages etc.to ensure game has been running correctly. Observed players who seem to be enjoying it.
Im realistic and know our game was built with the knowledge and skill we had (novice) and it is not a top tier game. But if I remove the upvote I gave it and my dev partner gave it we are at low 30%. But yesterday we saw 43% of plays were return players which I would think to be not bad.
Is there something really obvious that is annoying some players that we are missing.
Me and my friend played this game, and we have a few issues we’ve found
Cons
Zombies can get in the shop while you are buying new weapons
you cant buy weapons during intermission
zombies seems to spawn anywhere and everywhere, its more fun if you don’t see the zombies spawning Infront of your eyes giving it a kinda cheep feeling if they do
game seems unfished but it has a certain 2016 charm to it
Pros
has a nice vibe
is very fun to play with friends
the style of the zombies are very fun and adds to the vibe
did I mention fun?!
Conclusion
its fun but it seems unfinished and some areas are kinda rushed. Looking forward to see updates for this game!
Yes for sure being harassed in the store by zombies I can imagine is not nice. We will fix this.
The 2016 feel ha ha that’s probably a reflection of our skill level as we are still learning and probably reflects some of the older games we still enjoy playing. Thanks.
We will review and adjust spawn locations. That’s an easy one to take care of.
All very good for us to hear.
The pros are nice to hear too
All helpful
Thx
Fixed
We put display cases in the lobby for sales during intermission
And next time the server rolls the zombies cannot enter the shop.
by looking from the thumbnail, it seems pretty corny, i suggest getting a gfx designer so people will actually go to the the game instead of them saying: “Oh it’s just a cashgrab im not gonna play it”
though with a nice appealing thumbnail they may say: “This game looks fun i’ll play ir for 5 to 10 mins”
We were trying to keep the thumbnail light hearted as we were not going for an apocalyptic type of zombie game. Same with music choice. I guess light hearted can quickly turn into corney.
We are actually happy with our click thru rate and avg play time so I’m not sure the thumbnail is resulting in our bad thumbs up showing.
Thought it might help someone in the future to make one last post of what we think we discovered.
We incorrectly thought having weapons that damage both players & zombies made the game more challenging (fun). It turns out to have been a major cause of our downvotes.
Since making the change to our weapons so damage can only be done to zombies we have moved from 35% Likes up to 49% (almost no downvotes over last two weeks).
