Hello everyone! About 92 days ago I made a post asking for your feedback. (can be found here) since then I have added the majority of the suggestions you guys gave me and a lot more.
If you have time I would like to ask you for your honest opinions on gameplay and the trailer & if you think the game is ready for advertisement or not.
The game itself is great! I only played for 10 minutes, but it was great.
However, I think you should spend a little more time on the texts. Such as the tutorial. It’s kind of weird how the first thing you see is “don’t skip the tutorial you idiot” or something like that. Also, a lot of texts are unformatted, you don’t use apostrophes or commas at all, and that makes the texts look unprofessional and weird. So I suggest you change those.
Also, a bug I found, the camera FOV changes when you press shift, even if you’re not moving.
Other than these, you did a really great job! Definitely worth a like
Hey PrisumDev,
Heres some feedback as I go through:
Introduction
I like the tutorial quite a lot. Personal preference is if when you click “Next Page” the scrolling text animation will stop and the full text would display. I just have motion sickness.
The server selection looks pretty good but a little bland.
The “Join-Server” is a bit small imo. Id just keep it as “Join” and make it more bold
The loading bar at the no friends online is visually off-centered
Some areas seem like it can be clicked.
The sound feedback is a good touch
Gameplay
I am pretty confused on what I could buy as a weapon and what car to select. I feel like selections for these things should be based on ascending/declining cost. I recommend actually providing the player something they can purchase when they first start, else this tutorial just creates confusion. Note: Couldn’t get past the car selection in the tutorial, I must have missed something.
Buildings look good i enjoy the interactions with them
I am usually not one to advocate for fall damage but, i think if I jump off a building my health should go below half
When i gain crafting materials, the GUI is not very visible at the bottom.
The Controls at the bottom along with the server seem more like clutter. Maybe give a keybind/add it to a setting menu for the controls. As of the server you can make it less visible (without a red border and background and move it to the bottom left.
Misc
The title of the game is a bit confusing for newer players. We have Dark-RP as the game title but I am assuming it is still Westshore City.
At the beginning instead of being fed a wall of text, maybe add another tutorial like you did in the server selection game.
I also do not recommend centering blocks of text makes things harder to read. The centering is also a bit off.
There’s some errors in the text as well
Summary
I wish I could have figured out the tutorial. I played for some time it seemed pretty fun once there are more people around to do things. I would like an option to restart the tutorial if needed. But overall good work so far!
At the moment its only for PC as I believe I would struggle to add all the appropriate features to mobile & tablet as there would be a lot of buttons taking up space on the screen. (something for me to work on in the future)
