How many stages should a obby game have?

Hello, I have decided that I would like to create an obby game.
This obby will be different from most obby games, as it will feature realistic building and lighting.

I was wondering how many stages would be a good amount for a game like this,
keep in mind that I plan on having the stages save after the player leaves.

Any recommendations are welcome, thank you :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Hello! I would think that if you want the players to continue playing for a long period of time, you would want a lot of different stages. Some short stages, some hard stages, some longer than others, etc. Some games I know have over 500 stages. If you want, I can link some games as references. Hope this helps!

Around 400 , I usually get bored at 200 to 300, make each level of difficulty look different so it doesn’t feel boring.
Good luck!

Depends on the length of the stages.

From my own experience I can say that it is very time-consuming and therefore I recommend approx. 75 medium-length stages.

I would be happy if you could send an example picture of a stage.

Greetings, You should be the one to decide that when you are writing down everything about the game. It shouldn’t be like < 10 but also not 100k <. But everyone has their own opinions so make as many as you can handle.

Edit: Don’t burn yourself out from making to many stages.

I can send you a picture once the first stage is completed.

Is it a difficulty chart obby? If so, I recommend 20 stages per difficulty. If it’s just an easy obby, you can really do any amount from like a few hundred to even thousands.

600+ as you want them to play for long period each day if it is very intresting or 400+ but longer lvl’s, harder lvls… It’s actually how you want it but here’s an example…

Hey, I would recommend adding 200 - 600+ stages for a good average visit length , the game should atleast take 20 - 60 mins to complete so that players will join back.

You should also add a prestige system to make players grind towards something and not get bored after a while.

If you’re going for a more realistic type game then I would probably say 50 at max.

Depending on the quality of the obby and the length of each stage, I would agree with everyone else on the 300-500 range for a basic obby, If your doing something creative with it or making large stages, I would say about 70-100.

thank you, the theme of the obby will be the player has to travel through a forest temple.

The build style will be realistic, which is something you don’t really see in obby games.

Thanks, yes the game will be realistic, something you don’t see much from the obby genre.

I would say around 10-50 stages if the map is very detailed then

897 stages dont worry btw you can just copy n paste but just add something a little different :slight_smile:

Thank you for the suggestion, I think that 200 stages would be the max amount i could do since the stages will be detailed and may cause lag.

Unless I teleport players between places, which may be confusing.
