I’m looking for feedback on my game thats similar to TikTok. You can record, upload, and watch user-created videos.
Please let me know your thoughts and suggestions
How do I swipe?
Click and drag upwards slowly, youll see the swipe frame come up from the bottom of your screen. Now do this in a quick motion.
Current Features:
Scroll through videos
Discussion on videos (basically just commenting but without being able to like)
Record and Upload videos (bottom left record icon)
Search users (bottom left search icon)
View your profile (bottom left player icon)
Other Details
There’s a small amount of recording stuff like music, background, particles, etc, because I want to focus on the main game first and add that stuff later.
Only a few bits of feedback; UI feels pretty clunky. Maybe it’s scaled too large. I found swiping really hard to accomplish (I’m on PC). I suggest having a keybind that triggers the next video, or a UI button you click to move to the next. Something people will be able to use and understand without reading a tutorial or directions. Side note - the “Heart” button didn’t seem to trigger anything when I pressed it. It remained white (I assume it turns purple?)
Overall, great concept and game. Would love to see it on the front page.
This is a problem I’ve been told a lot. I’ll try adding a button to swipe like you said, and I’m also thinking of making it so you can scroll your mouse like with Youtube’s shorts
This is something I havent added yet. There’s a lot of problems I’m running into with liking, showing liked videos, and showing all of a users owned videos because of data limits.
Game is great, although I have some suggestions (maybe they’re already planned):
Simple UI editing, like labels where the player can put some text and decals on the recording (unless you don’t want players possibly putting inappropiate stuff)
The ability to use custom audio (with IDs)
Emotes or animations that players can use while recording
The ability to move and rotate the camera before recording
I do not know the limitations of the datastore service nor do I know how your game is scripted so these may not be possible, they’re just some ideas I got. Keep up the good work!
I’m actually thinking of, before release, doing a total redo to the video recorder. There’s currently support for recording multiple players but no actual way to get into a recording session with multiple players which is something I definitely want to add.
This is kind of an issue im facing is that after a video is made, what If I make an update to how videos are recorded, and for example change how a category works? The video would be out dated because the video player wouldnt know what to do since the saved data doesnt match up.
other than that, the game works great, something i recommend is allowing the player to see their bubble chat while recording. also if this wasn’t already planned, i think you should add a way to swipe back to the previous video.
maybe also try making a community creations submission thing on discord/devforum where players can send their own backgrounds, props, and skyboxes for you to add into the game.
i just realized how painful that would be to review every community creation but it would be cool tho
anyways, this game has a lot of potential, keep up the good work!
edit: just thought of a couple more suggestions
badges for follower/views/likes milestones
functional props such as a playable piano or guitar (that would be hard to make it record the instrument’s audio)
customizable background where you can drag the background props like roblox studio
?
