Hello everyone,
I have been on and off developing my hangout game since 2022. Lots of breaks in between. I believe it is now in a state to release to the public. Game name suggestions would be helpful, I have tried a few and I hope this one sticks. Please try the game here: ✨ Hangout Heights ✨ - Roblox
Everything is proprietary aside from the Avatar Shop. That is provided by SuperBiz. The game includes the following features:
-
Leveling System (earn a level every few minutes of playing. Level up faster if you’re in our community or if you own the VIP Pass.). Levels are used for unlocking nametag features like a custom gradient, roles in our community (autoranked via a bot), and you can unlock areas of the map depending on your level.
-
Currency System (earns Stars by playing, premium players earn 50% more and you can get more by purchasing 3x Stars Pass). Stars are used for purchasing items ingame via our shop (albiet our shop is dry as I am having trouble getting tools made). Stars can also be used to play Blackjack, Slots, and Towers.
-
Minigames (We have trivia like Kahoot, Tic-Tac Toe, Sword Fighting Arena, Blackjack, Slots, and Towers) More to come!
-
Dance Syncing (Self-explanatory, click on a player, a custom avatar context menu will pop up and you can sync. Player must be dancing in order to sync)
-
Daily Rewards System (Must play for at least 15 minutes to claim Stars). A known bug is timer will reset if you reset your character or die sword fighting. If you leave the server then the timer resets. I am not adding additional lag to the DataStore so we are leaving it at that.
-
Back-End Scripting was done professionally and is well organized, easy to modify, and a very well-optimized system to reduce lag. We have a great framework to build upon and add more updates as we grow.
-
Global Radio System (With built-in volume slider, vote to skip, and custom song to add to the queue)
-
Voice Chat and VR Enabled (Eventually will be developing a dynamic voice chat system)
-
UI is not perfect but it does get the job done. I plan to revamp it entirely if I can gain a playerbase
If you’ve made it this far, there are a lot more back-end features to list. I’m very proud of what we’ve accomplished. I am getting a 7% CTR on search ads and my average session time is 14 minutes. I am having trouble building a player base, and I understand hangout games are saturated. I am only aiming for 100-200CCU. Any advice helps as I have never developed a full proper game like this before.
Thank you,
