I decided to create a game kind of like Cookie Clicker called Donut Clicker. I currently have the Help and the Shop (placeholders) as a base for the game. I have also worked on the main feature but have decided to wait to add that. So, what do you think GUI wise? I will add something that goes to the bottom right so it looks less bland, but other than that, what do you think? This is the first GUI that I’m pretty proud with and took me about a day to make, I really liked how I chose my colors and they didn’t look too bright.DonutClicker.wmv (950.9 KB)

Sounds, cool. I would be careful with this name, because it is used already for a game that’s not on roblox.

Noted! Thanks for the feedback.
I like the concept. I think that you should put more effort into how the GUI is looking. In my opinion it looks like something that is made quickly. If you made this just to serve a testing purpose fair enough but yeah the GUI needs improving. I would also recommend learning about Tweening. With tween you can animate your buttons and it gives your game more life and if you want cartoony game then it gives your game really nice effect. Also one thing I noticed is to make sure your font is the same throughout the GUI and also make sure the text size is same. But other than that nice job, keep it up!

Yup, most of the guii is just placeholders, I look into tweening the finished product!
what do you mean by “be careful” ?
are there risk of getting copyright strikes ?
Honestly, it doesn’t look fun. The concept is nice and all but these types of games have not much reward and nearly 0 risk as you can probably get rich no matter what you do. The UI needs a lot of work and the UI doesn’t even cover the top bar… I wouldn’t play this game as it doesn’t seem fun to me.
It doesn’t relate too much to cookie clicker, I saw no donut and I saw no spam clicking which is essential to this genre…
@danielkaya yes .

Since Cookie Clicker is an actual game, the name is trademarked. Using the same name would be illegal, and you could get into legal trouble.
You should contact an attorney for legal advice regarding copyrights and trademarks.

That’s because the game isn’t done yet. I do plan to have more features when it comes. All the tutorials online I saw used leaderstats, which isn’t helpful in my case. I hope you do understand and maybe in the future I can change your mind. Thanks for the feedback though!

May I ask how you do that? I really would appreciate it.
I think you meant to reply to @tinysam2004
What are you asking how to do? If you are asking how to get legal advice, I’m afraid I can’t really help. There’s no substitute for an actual attorney or a course from an attorney. You can look up information about copyright online, but it is extremely dangerous to do your own legal research. One lawyer described it as similar to diagnosing yourself with a disease instead of contacting a medical professional.
I mean how to have UI cover the top bar. I will change the name so I won’t have to worry about any legal trouble.
I’m no UI designer but there are many topics on how to do this! It seems pretty simple as well
