I don’t think music is an issue? The game I directly got inspired from has no music. And in my eyes they have way worse everything, but somehow got 1.6k CCU.
(Additionally can’t add music due to religious reasons, unless it’s like sounds of nature or like brown white black noise, but that feels weird in an obby?)
And the boredom of players is what also confuses me, I don’t really know what makes an obby fun since other obbies look like they have less quality but somehow more players. I do remember playing obbies as a kid with similar bad quality and enjoying them, so maybe I have to make low quality stages also?
I do have to thank ROBLOX for adding the Feedback section, but man I’m mostly getting feedback on how the obby is hard (which I don’t know how it is after going through so many iterations). There were 2 comments saying that the game is boring (nothing else) which is maybe the only decent info I got, but what are obbies meant to do, be on par with an AAA game? And that just confuses me so much more since obby1 obby2 obby3 for me are way more boring for me but have so much more success…
And I completly understand that I’m responsible for the players fun, but this is seriously challenging since I’m not getting any good feedback from players, nor from other games (design of other obbies).
Also thanks for the stage suggestions!
