I’m currently working on a tycoon called Dunkin’ Donuts Tycoon, it features 2 stories (atm), hopefully by the end of this week I can also finish the 3rd one.

You get spawned, hire a worker that will reach out for donuts, put them on the conveyor / table and they will go directly to sale, giving you Cash and 1 Donut per sale.
After you finish the first floor, the second floor is bought only using Donuts, so you will have to grind up a little to finish the second floor, or you can play the obby that gives you 350 Donuts every 6 minutes (as there is a cooldown)

The game will have more to it coming soon, a delivery service where you deliver the donuts to different places, the 3rd floor will have it’s own donut lab where you get to customize your donuts and after that to display them in your shop.

Feedback is a must if you do have a chance to play it <3

I like the little amounts of GUI so that the screen is not crowded, the shop look super nice and it draws my attention to the products. The Halloween event seems kind of bland because the map and GUI does not look any different except for the few pumpkins and dead trees placed around. The gameplay is pretty good and it feels super relaxing and rewarding. Game progression feels good and the fact that there is donuts and money makes it able to have some interesting dual currency features (Such as spending donuts and money on the same thing). The buttons might need a little big more user feedback such as particles or something. Overall I think this game has some good potential and it feels super nice but also consider adding more quality of life features such as settings and turning off music.

Good job (Sorry for the essay lol)

Thank you so much for the feedback! I will look forward to add a settings gui soon, I’m actually working on the game right now to change the map a little, i’ve removed the teams because they were useless and I’m adding a beam that shows you the direction to a free tycoon right now.

As of the button i’ll see what I can do with it, because if there are too many particles it’s gonna rip off the game performance and from the last sponsor i did, 89% of my players are playing from phone / tablet, and the client fps rate stays at 38-42 atm, that’s why i’m trying to improve the performance

Maybe a more rewarding sound effect might work, also I can’t stop playing help me. I love the game and will add it to my favorites to support you!

You want feedback? here you go.

  • I dont think gear should be allowed, no one really uses it now, and theres also items that can kill other players.

  • I dislike the use of what I believe to be AI-image generation in general.

    It just makes the game look low-quality and people will avoid it.

  • Standing on buttons with more than enough money will take the money more than once
    (went from 1.4k down to 200 from a single button that cost 550)

  • The button pricing is all over the place

  • I dislike how only one button is visible at a time, it makes the tycoons progression very linear.

  • I dislike that you buy floor 2 before you even get close to finishing floor 1.

  • I dislike that you only have 3 workers for majority of the game, it makes progression just come to a halt and very unfun.

  • I dislike that everything on the second floor costs donuts instead of cash, it just feels useless to add a second currency when you could just make things cost more and make you get more like a normal tycoon would.

  • Adding onto that, everything on the second floor is too expensive for how little you get. You’re telling me, that to get enough money to finally unlock the second floor, I now need to get more than double that just to buy a single new button WITHOUT having more workers??

  • The games visual style is all over the place, and nothing is consistent.

  • The music is repetitive.

  • Everything just looks low quality, like its just a mishmash of free assets (which it clearly is)

  • Progression in general is bad, you have things costing 750 right after things costing 2,000, which just why?

  • I would remove the dunkin branding because that is against the copyright law, and your game can get deleted for using their branding.

tl;dr, the game feels and looks low quality, people may avoid it most likely due to AI, it doesn’t play well, the progression is bad, and it could get DMCA’d by dunkin donuts.

Thanks for the feedback, I’ll look into it and solve the little issues with it.

For the game icon indeed it is an AI generated image, as for the moment I couldn’t do the gfx (will be done soon and updated after that).

The assets from the cash/donuts GUI are not AI, they’re vectorized images from vector-stock, the person who is making the asset’s isn’t done yet with them (the game will have a pet-sim vibe added to the assets, not 1-1 but that kind of vector/drawn style)

Gear will be disabled because as you said, there is gear that can kill people and tbh I don’t want that to happen, as people will start leaving the game if they get spawn killed which will get the game to a massive dislike-like ratio

I even though that the dual currency was a good idea but unfortunately not, maybe I will add it to the third floor, where you will need cash & a little Donuts value in order to buy the button as the 3rd floor will be about customizing your own donut types and sell them outside at a stand to the NPC’s.

There will also be NPCs wandering around & entering the tycoon, sit at the table & leave at some moment

The thing with standing on buttons I didn’t even knew about it, will look forward to fix it

The game has 3 visual workers on the first floor and 1 with R$/ 1 that is hidden(no visual worker) + 2 more on the second floor (for the moment) will look forward to make it at least 5 workers and 1 with R$

The Dunkin’ brand will be removed and edited (didn’t knew you can get dmca’d, as I Ve made another McDonald’s one that passed 1.2m visits and nothing happened on my old acc)

The music is a chill cartoony vibe music that is played in a loop, might look forward to add more music that will fade from one to another so it doesn’t get repetitive

  • it isn’t a mishmash of assets, the decorations inside the tycoon are, will look forward to change them with custom made ones, and the 2nd set of trees, will look forward to delete them and keep my tree line all over the game. The waterfall indeed it’s from the toolbox, I don’t really know how to do it correctly but if I find a documentation I will and I will animate the river so the logs will actually move on it, the bridges are the same, and that’s pretty much it, everything else is made in blender by me, having some YouTube videos with the creation of most of them

And for the game visual style I don’t really understand what you mean by that

Thank you for your time playing it & the big feedback as you made me understand more & I’ll look forward to edit it in a better way!

I will look forward to remove the AI game icon as soon as the gfx is finished!

Thank you for your time & feedback!
Without all this feedback I wouldn’t know what to do and what I shouldn’t do

Here’s an honest feedback:

Yet another Roblox tycoon game that lacks originality, aims to attract children into the game by using colorful lighting, the map being made out of free assets, way too much paid offers being slapped onto your left face, excessive use of AI generated images, attempts to milk money from children, lazily made, repetitive music, lacks content, and a lot more which I’m too lazy to type out like you when you made the game.

This game is doomed to fall into the void of Robloxia, never to be seen again.

Trust me, the only assets from the toolbox are the bridges, one set of trees, the waterfall and the decorations inside the tycoon, which will get remarked to some donuts related objects.

For the music it will be changed to contain at least 5 different music types that will play in a loop, the game icon & badges/gamepass icons will be done once the icons for the UI will be done.

The lighting is like that because it’s a cartoony game, it’s normal to be that way and I don’t really think that 6 buttons on the left side are for milking money from kids, tbh, who wants to buy a cash boost will buy, who doesn’t will not buy, especially if the products aren’t expensive at all

Be careful! Using brands without permission can lead you to copyright issues. Avoid this issue by changing the name of the game.

Why you shouldn't use them

Most of them are protected by copyright, meaning you should give permission if you plan to use it. Without them, you might get a warning (copyright warning).

Will the game be played?

Game might look unoriginal, but it is worth a try. Usually, low quality games will not succeed. Avoid using AI-generated images as people may not like them.

My recommendations

Try making up an original name, thus you will help yourself avoid copyright issues.

  • Polish Gameplay

  • Improve performance and reduce memory usage.

The images look like unrelated to the game.
