Is my game ready for public?

Hello, guys.
I were working hardly on it for an over than year. As result of that all works, I made this game:

I loved building games, and then I found Roblox game genre “Plates of fate”, which made me think about “What if I’ll add building to that?” And, as result, I got this…

Is my work worth it? Should I advertise game now? Has it flaws?
Give me your feedback, please. I’m open for suggestions, critique, anything!

I don’t know if this is supposed to happen but whenever I go through the beginning tutorial I get soft locked on the part where it says “And don’t just stand like statue, this events can target you too!”

Also I recommend adding sounds

Interesting… I’ll look what’s wrong with tutorial. Only assumption I can have is character failing to load animation.
And about sounds - I’m in the process of adding them, thanks!
EDIT: Indeed, it’s animation.

First impressions were really good though I was already hooked even in the tutorial. Keep up the good work.

Your bug indeed saved tutorial a lot - I not tested it with custom animations, and looks like you have some equipped, and that breaks tutorial. GIANT thanks!

I fixed that tutorial bug.

I tried playing it but I’m stuck on waiting for players after entering a solo / party match. I like the tutorial!

Interesting, will look into that, thanks!

It’s not available on mobile. I think you’d have better success if you made it compatible for mobile too!

I have tried to do that, and stuck with 1 problem: inventory is overlaying movement/jumping:

Do you have any suggestions about what I can/should do in this situation?

I fixed that thing, thanks!

It seems really interesting, but as critics usually goes, I will list the negatives

– There is a severe lack of music and sound effects, I highly highly recommend you add music and sound effects, before making it public
– The tutorial is very cool, but at the point where it shows how to build, it got pretty long and tedious. It would also be interesting if the tutorial involved action from the player in the building section
– like @HooferBevelops, I’m stuck on the loading screen after enter solo, for some reason it is saying waiting for players: 1/49


(Tested it again after your reply, and it worked, but it was still showing 1/49)

I will also say, good luck with getting your game out there. To me this has been the hardest part

I’m in the process of finding and adding that! Never in my entire life listened to music specifically, exception is TV and musiciants on the streets, so it will be hard time for me XD

Previously, there used to be tutorial which involved player to do all required actions, but players was THAT HELL DUMB to pick up oak twigs instead of sawing them, while I explictly said that.
Otherwise, agree, that building part is taking long, and will think what I can change in it.

Hm… After you both said that it not works, I guess I finally found a reason why this occurs - I reserve server BEFORE I create teleport MemoryStore data, and it attempts to read non-existant yet data. Will alter ordering, and hope that it will work.
So, it works with 50/50 chance, and sadly IDK what causes it to work like that.
I found true reason accidently.
I FORGOT TO PLACE THIS 2 BRACKETS TO CALL COROUTINE.WRAP FUNCTION!!!

GIANT THANKS!!! :slightly_smiling_face:

Alright, now I was able to play for a bit. I’ll start with things that I really enjoyed! The events were neat, unique, and their effects were really great. I love the concept of building your own island. The design of the game is amazing. I like resource harvesting, it’s a very unique take to this type of game.

Now, to the issues… I’m going to be very critical with these, please don’t take it negatively.

Joining a match is very confusing. I wish there was some sort of portal or physical labeled way to easily match. I don’t understand how it works right now. It says I can queue with 25 players, does this mean I’ll join a server that allows players to join after? I don’t want to be alone the entire time. It’s VERY hard to understand how it works!

The same thing happens with building. I didn’t even realize I could enter build mode until I finished a round. I don’t know how to use the build menu that well. I watched the tutorial, but it gave me no hands on experience. I think the build menu is also broken for me. I don’t know how to place the objects down either? The times I did get blocks to place, it was SO expensive, just for a little bit of material!


I wish I was able to collect resources whilst in a round. Resource collection is awesome, but it’s not very fun sitting around in the lobby the entire time. I want some action! Same with building, it would be awesome if I could work on my sky island whilst playing the game.

The chat and camera feel weird. The chat doesn’t behave like the normal chat, something is off about it, it makes it frustrating. My camera’s sensitivity is messed up, it doesn’t feel how it normally should. I can’t describe it in detail, but that feeling is different. I suspect that you forked / remade these two systems, which I don’t recommend doing.

The game is very quiet. Too quiet. Sounds are super important for user feedback. Button sounds, prompt sounds, building sounds, interaction sounds, music, etc. All of this would help a lot!

I absolutely believe that this game has a lot of potential. The concept is great. I understand the game is new, but right now the bugs are what make it hard to play. You have the foundation down and it’s only progress from here!
