(Update Post) Untitled Story Game

[IPlayRobloxSoByeTest (DevelopingForLife)]

Untitled Story Game

Hello developers ,

I recently came back to Roblox after a year break and had the sudden urge to make a Roblox game. The reason for this break was that I was burned out and it also caused me to stop every other language I done.

I’m coming back to Roblox development and recently I started working on a game that I feel like it’s been running smoothly so far. it is a solo project to test my skill to see if I still got it, I’m hoping to finish it and full release it for everyone to play. I’m using this project to be used for my portfolio so I can get gigs in the future.

I’m making my game public for now so people can watch the progress of the game until I get far enough where I don’t want to spoil the story. This game also has a little horror in it!

Cool Details

• The radio has songs that play throughout the story if you go inside that general area.

• On every join you are assigned a random room number that way you’re not going to the same room every time.

Instead of the screen going black when you open your room door I’m planning on making it a whole animation where you put your key in and everything. (In the future)

Please give your thoughts and you can tell me anything that you disklike or should be different.
I want as much feedback as possible so don’t be afraid to comment!

I sat down on the chair after sleeping and… Where’s my computer? Was it unanchored??

[IPlayRobloxSoByeTest (DevelopingForLife)]

I haven’t got that far yet in the game. I started making this game around Sunday and development is semi slow because I don’t really stay inside alot. As i said this is still in development and its not meant for a full release its just open so people can watch progress of the game development.

Hello! I have a few generic suggestions to improve the overall quality of the game!
Consider using Some of these resources to enhance your game

To Improve Textures:

21 assorted realistic seamless tiling textures + 8 decals

I felt motivated to make a bunch of random decals and seamless tiling textures since I need to find grunge textures for a project and wanted practice extracting them. I didn’t make these with any use in mind so I’m just going to make them free for you to use however you like. These are all either 1024 px square, 1024 px on their largest dimension, or smaller. They have not been pixel-fixed (there may be black borders, but I only noticed it badly on the grid texture). It’s recommended you resiz…

Goofy Character kinematics:

Experimental Inverse Kinematic and Procedural Animations

Inverse Kinematics Version: Experimental Testing (This topic was separated from the suggestion of a Community Sage) I am releasing two modules that are mostly complete and generally only for more advanced scripters. (The other modules are linked below this thread) Inverse Kinematics (sort of incomplete) This IK solver is based on the FABRIK algorithm which I was able to get working with conventional bones in Unity and Unreal Engine. To preface this section, this is currently not a replaceme…

3D Sound Enhancer:

3D Sound System - Realistic frequency dampening

Before we begin: This system was designed by @sidnad10. He reached out to me with this presentation: He asked me if I could try creating it, and I quickly accepted. For those who don’t want to read the presentation, the tl;dr: In real life, your ears dampen the higher frequencies of sounds behind you, around 7k Hz. Headphones only simulate left and right, so we need to do a bit of extra work for real 3D sound emulation. The product I spent a couple hours creating a simple-to-use module th…

Lamplights to improve lighting quality:

LampLight - Global Illumination For Roblox (New v1.2)

LAMPLIGHT ALPHA VERSION [radiosityBake3] [radiosityBake3] [radiosityBake1] Lamplight is a studio plugin that can let you bake actual Global Illumination bounce lighting into your scenes. Limitations: Won’t work well in Future - use Shadowmap for best results Not good for very finely-scaled scenes - roblox lighting is chunky! No support for spotlights, coming soon No support for surfacelights, coming soon Really huge regions could take a while to light Update v1.2 Massive performance im…

Cutscene Animations:

Camera Animations for cutscenes and gameplay!

To be honest, there are barely any games that use camera animations. Even though a good camera can make an attack feel much more powerful or give an awesome shot of a landscape during a cutscene. So I will be teaching how you can make camera animations, and use them in-game. Note: This is my first ever tutorial on here, please roast me. To start off, you’re going to need Moon Animator. I will start by explaining how to make simple cutscenes that always appear in the same position, I recommen…

Preloading assets:

Really good preloading system for free (Ensures 100% of assets are loaded) (Read fully)

Let me know your thoughts on this guys by the way. Just make a post! Also funny pcall names by the way “happy” “not happy” haha.

Basic Movement System:

Movement++ - Improved character movement

Download About Movement++ is an attempt to make Roblox’s default movement a bit more interesting and better-feeling. A key feature in it are extensions, which are separate modules to do… well… different stuff. What it looks like The default, factory-new Movement++ is pretty suitable for all games. It comes with 6 fine-tuned pre-packed extensions. Here’s a video of me showing it off: Installation Installation is simple- get the model, drag the script into StarterPlayer > Sta…

Character Sounds v2 to get rid of the annoying jump sound or change it:

Character Sounds v2 - BOOSTED GAME PERFORMANCE [VERSION 1.2]

Hey everyone! This script aims to clean up and optimize the current Roblox character sounds script by removing unnessecary functions and events, updating to un-deprecated featured and more! The main optimization is the new updater system, which handles 1 stepped event for the whole game instead of 1 for each player. In a game with 50 players, the default script would have 50 events running, this script would only have 1! Perks Less connections. More customizable. Less loops. Reduced memor…

Reflection Lighting Engine:

[Kind of completed] HDR effect script similar to Source Engine

Hello! I’ve made a HDR effect script similar to Source Engine which is useful for realistic type of games on Roblox. This script is not perfect but it works. [ezgif-4-3117118f65] The script can now react on walls when the color is brighter or darker when the camera is too close [ezgif-4-bc3ea7e9f2] Sadly the script dosent react on shadows How it works? The script creates two raycast rays from the current camera to the position where the camera is looking at. The first ray which is the …

Random Loot Generation:

LootPlan - Random loot generation made easy

LootPlan is a lightweight portable ModuleScript I’ve created to solve any loot generation needs you may have. The module has example scripts, but most heavy documentation will be in this post. The documentation is detailed to make sure nothing is missed, but you can probably get the jist of it by simply skimming over it, or looking at the code examples. The system is quite simple, with the module code only taking up ~150 lines. Classes There are two classes of LootPlan; “single” and “mult…

Literal Vending Machine:

Procedural Modern Vending Machine (P.M.V.M)

Almost a week ago me and my friend wanted to make a vending machine, so here we are. The vending machine is fully procedural with settings for practically everything that could be customized within the machine. Sound effects are included, but are toggleable and customizable. The body itself is split into two sections (makes recoloring a breeze). Vending Machine in action: [vending machine test 4]

Settings

Interactive Procedurally generated system:

Interactive Object System for Procedural Environments using Proximity Prompts

Greetings, developers! I’ve crafted a Lua script for ROBLOX that enhances player interaction within procedurally generated environments. This script intelligently manages in-game objects, providing dynamic responses and effects based on player actions. Core Features: Dynamic Prompts: Objects with a “Species” attribute automatically generate interactive prompts, allowing for a rich, responsive game world. Player Observation: The script tracks player interactions with objects, offering uniqu…

Thanks for this! Will be sure to look into these and potentially add a couple.

Just wanted to give an update on my preloading system thing, I was newer to scripting at the time and my pcalls and pcall retry logic was kinda janky. So make sure to edit some of those yourself.

I still think it was a great idea though, and I still recommend using it. Just edit it a bit.

It can be a great combo with coroutines/task.spawn since you could also make a loading screen animation at the same time.
