What should I put in my lobby?

Hello!

I’m currently making a difficulty Chart Obby and I don’t know what to have in my lobby.

Any ideas?

Lobby so far:

some interesting stuff like a gear/power ups shop, some decoration, blocky buildings a fountain etc etc… And also Ive seen the explorer, you got a lot of parts so try to group stages to reduce taking up space.

I don’t think this type of things should be in a DCO. A Difficulty Chart Obby is supposed to show your skill, not just being able to buy your way to the end.

idk some limited use of power stuff like cost robux or something???

I don’t play much of obbys since i fell out of the obsession of it.

Maybe just make the lobby smaller so you don’t have to fill up all the space. But some things you could put in are donation leaderboards, credits, decoration like a fountain like what @cheesy_roblox190 said, etc.

I like your ideas, the only thing I couldn’t really add would be credits as I’m working on this by myself so it would be just me on there.

Maybe you could just make a statue of yourself there lol

It doesn’t really matter if the player only spends less than 5 seconds in the lobby before they move on with the obstacle course

I have always liked unanchored spheres in a lobby. Riding them around is a past time of mine. Alongside that, if rounds are long, a small practice obby in the lobby has amused me before.

In DCO games I mostly see stuff like portals, donation boards, and decoration in the lobby.

I have played a game called Italic’s Difficulty Chart Obby by feelingitalic, which looks like your game. In this game (and others like this.) I see portals, decoration, and color.

Places to practice your jumps and tricks, a tutorial section if you understand techniques enough to type them out as an explanation, a hangout area (if you think people will spend a while in your game), and a big centerpiece like a giant tree or whatever you think you can pull off (make it out of simple blocks, go for whatever colors and designs you see fit), and possibly a couple of secrets, you can add rewards/badges for finding them of course.

Thanks all for your suggestions. I forgot about practice stages so I will add them in, probably some decoration as well. Thanks again!

This may change the lobby a slight bit. But you could change it into a flying island with other flying islands connected.
If you do add flying islands, then there could be:

A practice area
Terrain
Credits, if there are people who have helped.
Things for the terrain
Small easter eggs
Event area with a portal that teleports the player to an obby where something is rewarded

For the current lobby you could:

A practice area
Split it into different sections with some of the things already mentioned.

That’s all I have to say.

Leaderstats, record stats, best players, credits many things!

Loving all of the ideas mentioned so far. For practicality’s sake, you should probably add signs that point towards the beginning of the obby.

An area to relax, also some decorations or showing off who made the game/contributed, etc.
