I’m currently having issues retaining and gaining players, I find that my game is fun to play however many advertisements will have players join and player for a while but the moment the servers start to die I get a lot less players until it flatlines.
Anyone know how to fix it? I’m not the only game of the zombie survival genre. My friend owns a similar game and finds a large amount of players.
Hello again!
I tested your game. From my experience with the game, it’s fun! Though if the game had more players it makes it more fun.
It’s possible that your game is not getting players through advertisements due the targeted audience:
Very Young Roblox Players
I’m referring especially to the ones that haven’t learned to read nor type in Roblox chat yet. I think that most younger audiences wouldn’t understand a Roblox game upon joining and perhaps they’ll eventually leave the game literally after 20 seconds or so.
Most younger audiences probably have a low attention span. I’ve observed this before once when a player joined my own Roblox game a while ago.
I’m assuming you use Ads Manager to advertise. Apparently, only 13+ players get to see advertisements. However, keep in mind that the majority of the young Roblox playerbase select a random date of birth upon account creation, meaning that you might have to add other stuff in the game to appeal to the audience.
Why did I mention the very young players? Firstly, they’re the majority that make up the Roblox community. Secondly, most kids are interested in a certain thing or two.
There’s a whole bunch of things they may like, such as:
In case you got the wrong idea, no. I’m not suggesting that the game should have anything like Skibidi Toilet or anything like that.
Doing so may appeal to the younger audiences, but it would of course not appeal to the older audiences. That would make a bad look for a game. I included the list so you can make something that appeals to the audience.
How would you get players appeal to your game, stay longer, etc? I’m no expert on attracting players, and I’m simply using my knowledge to help, so I’m unsure.
My feedback about your game icon, I personally think it looks good, and it’s attractive to get players.
In conclusion, perhaps create that appeals to the audience, like make them more engaged inside of the game.
I got some game ideas and suggestions:
That’s all the feedback and suggestions I have to improve your game and attract players! I hope your game succeeds!
Yeah, because this game mechanically isn’t that different from many other games and it’s not that the mechanics are bad it’s just they’re pretty basic and not that really memorable, of course it’s a zombie infection/survival game but maybe think of more creative ways players can interact with the game and that should point you in somewhat a better direction
Sadly I did not get to test your game as it was just me. I am looked around the lobby though and your game reminded me a lot of Apocalypse Rising. I would embrace this. Also, your lobby failed to catch my attention and no offense, was a bit of an eyesore. I believe you could really amp up your game by making a few changes here and there. Like for example, your lighting was really unbalanced, I think maybe sticking to a set amount of colors might help. I would be very glad to design an example of this for you. Also I’d remove the podiums from in front of the leaderboards and just leave it with the leaderboards. I think your game does have lots of potential though! I hope I can play it someday.
