I’ve been working on my car game for the past 2 years, but nobody has been playing my game for 2 years! I have tried everything, I have tried asking one of my Roblox friends if they could help me and they said they have no ideas, I tried advertising on social media advertising servers, but nobody played my game, it’s like every time I try to get my game popular, nothing works. Other car games have players so why does mine have to be avoided. Someone help me out here!
A couple of things I notice in the first minute or so:
I clicked through the whole tutorial but wasn’t able to find a way to get it off my screen without rejoining and clicking “Skip” on the first page. Clicking “Next” would just flip between the last two pages of the tutorial rather than closing it (I assume the page telling you about buying a car and driving it is the last one).
I also wonder whether it would make the tutorial more interesting to make it a bit more interactive and less reliant on large blocks of text that you need to click through; i.e. maybe you could direct players to where the dealership is, have them buy a car, then show them how to spawn it, automatically advancing the text when they do each step.
The tutorial shows on the title screen. I think you should only make it appear when the player’s character spawns in.
The menu with the job, car, and settings buttons overlaps with the player list, forcing you to hide the player list to be able to interact with it effectively.
Some less crucial suggestions:
There’s a lot of Z-fighting around the map on walls, roads, etc.
The UI style is quite inconsistent. The jobs, cars, and settings menus all use different fonts and colour palettes, and some of the menus move smoothly onto the screen while others do not.
I’m not sure that resolving all these issues would get the game a consistent player base (I don’t typically play car games so I don’t know what this community looks for), but this would at least make the user experience a bit smoother.
Actually, I found someone that made a plugin to fix the Z-fighting issue (made by @Spacerator) That would fix the problem you’re discussing about. And I’m also working on the winter update, so I’ll look forward to updating the UI a little bit to make it less inconsistent
Do you enjoy playing your game or are you just making it for other people to play it? I ask this because if you don’t love your own game, how will other people be able to love it?
