My First Finished Game, Airlift!

Help and Feedback Creations Feedback
1

For years I’ve been into game development. Made it to the featured page on tiny projects in Scratch and Tynker, but was never able to create a fully-realized game. I’d like to share with you my first game that I have ever finished, Airlift : ) (feedback is very welcome and I would love to hear your criticisms!)

Airlift is a battle royale set on a procedurally-generated map complete with forests and mountains. Players are granted “essential blueprints” that are used to craft items and structures such as walls and spears. The end goal is to have built a homing beacon in order to direct a helicopter to arrive at your base. If you weren’t able to do this in time, your remaining option is to raid the base of the lucky players that built a beacon.

Congratulations on your first finished game! I would like to play it but it we didn’t have the permission to play it.

Oops that’s embarrassing haha. The problem with making a battle royale game is that in order to start a round you need a minimum of 5 players : (

am playing it :smiley:
lets see how good it is

there’s no tutorial, players don’t know what to do
what does selecting objects do?
why keep shutting down game?
seems like players like game!
how to even get material??
you should add crouch option
add a timer.
we don’t want the game to go on forever, do we?
super unclear, but OK for a first game.
5/10 from me.

Also, why is the game on a different profile from iMajesticMuffins (its on bigha_rn, rn).
add terrain, like smooth terrain, it’ll be better that way.
also add music for during the round.

For the hot bar I would outline it with orange instead of a random orange line. But the game feels good. I would also include music for the game.

I’ve played it, this game is pretty good for an first release, but here are some things this game is lacking.

  • Lack of UI in-game deisgn
  • Lack of build (low poly maps are pretty poplar and have alot of demand right now.)
  • Lack of music
  • No tutorial, the game looks simplistic but not simple enough to understand how to play it based off your advertisement.
  • Intermission a bit long, average roblox game intermission is around 15-30 seconds? (Talking about after the game ended, not while the round has started.)

I understand that not everyone have the necessary funds to hire an builder/UI-designer, but these are some of the things I’ve found that can boosts your game potential by alot. Hope this helps!

The reason it is on a different profile (not really) is that he has changed his name. If you look at the old username you find out I am right.

Thank you for the feedback! I realize now how essential a tutorial is. I’ll get on that

Thank you! Tutorial and in-game music are in the making. And thank you for bringing up the intermission issue, it was set to be that long because you used to be unable to join a game mid-match and there needed to be a large gap to allow new players to join.

Game issues (that should be upgraded):

  • Tutorial

  • Letter-Suggestions

  • Timers, etc.

Things that could be added:

  • Single-player

  • Mute button, etc

Thanks for the feedback! I’m working on a tutorial right now, and there is actually an item in-game that lets you see how much time there is left before the helicopter lands (I know this is not clear, I’ll do my best to inform the player of the function of different items in the future). As for single player, how would you propose that worked?

12

I have only played one round so this is what I propose.

You have hunger; you berries to counter-act

There are monsters that try to kill you; use weapon to kill

Helicopter does not end it but gives items

More items to get to the end of the game

Maybe a lore too, if you want

13

ah, so it hasnt updated on the devforum! he changed username after making post? idk man idk

14

I’ve actually been thinking of all of these ideas! I was going to incorporate into an Airlift spinoff where instead of a battle royale game, it’s a survival game

15

Yes, I changed my roblox username (and can’t figure out how to update my DevForum haha)

log out and log back in that should fix the cache i think
