Hello fellow developers out here reading this, I would like to hear your suggestions / advices on how to increase concurrent players; I have a hard time finding a solution for finding ways to do so.
I also tried to sponsor / advertise, but it didn’t work in the long term.
Thank you for reading regarding this topic; I hope someone would answer. Game:😈 THE INSANE OBBY - Roblox
I’ll be very honest, but I don’t mean to say your game is poor quality or anything:
Obbies are extremely oversaturated right now. There are simply too many of them, and the average player will probably play obbies that are already popular.
Your like/dislike ratio is bad, which I completely understand (due to the difficulty). This has an impact on the algorithm that recommends your game to players.
Other than that, your game should eventually gain attention. Perhaps you can ask an influencer (YouTuber, Twitter user, etc) to play your game to see what they think, as well as getting a shoutout from them.
I’ve tried your game, the lobby was a little bit bland, I know it’s a style, neon, right? But judging by some EDM and Futuristic neon maps I’ve seen before, the players might find your lobby too retro, simple, too blue & dark and too blocky.
The obby color and background is also VERY simple, and dark, younger players would not appreciate such atmosphere, therefore, you can implement a custom color invert system.
A game that was good in 2017 might not be “good” anymore in 2022, therefore do not hesitate to implement cooler running animations, new maps, minigames etc!
