Working on a Facility / Core Game

devwingfr · July 2, 2022, 10:31am

Hello Roblox Developer community!

I’ve started work on a core game, and would appreciate feedback on changes I make to the game. This post will be in the style of a DevLog so you can see what and when I updated the game. Please, if you want to receive notifications about the progress please select this option for getting notifications

I’ll try to edit this post every day.

Just to clarify, I haven’t started working on the game today. I forgot about this game a few weeks ago and have started developing it again.

I’d be grateful if you left feedback!

For now, I’ll attach some screenshots of the game. I will update you today at around 7 PM CEST.

Before commenting on how empty this looks, I know. Right now I’m focusing more on the scripting than the building. I’ll add detail once I finish scripting some things.

-------Day 1 / 2.07-------

Scripting:

Almost finished scripting the startup sequence. EDIT: Nope, I did not.

Building:

Changed Control Room floor material to slate.

Other:

Added more audio to the game (sound effects, ambience etc.)

Bugs / bug fixes:

No bugs have been found in the game.

-------Day 2 / 3.07-------

No progress has been made due to me being away from home.

-------Day 3 / 4.07-------

Scripting:

Added more things to the startup sequence.
Scripted the siren lights.

Building:

Made control room floor darker.

Other:

Added audio

Bugs / bug fixes:

Chat not loading in game (Probably Roblox’s fault)

-------Day 4 / 5.07-------

I decided to take a day to rest and do other things.

-------Day 5 / 6.07-------

Scripting:

Scripted more of the startup sequence.

Building:

Added bulletin board to game
Decorated the control room

Other:

Added audio

-------Day 6 / 7.07-------

Not much was done. We have guests coming over 24/7 so there isn’t much time to develop the game for the next few days. For now, here’s some more screenshots!

Screenshots taken during the startup sequence:

Bugs / bug fixes:

Not really a bug, but the reactor core loop audio isn’t a perfect loop and you can hear an annoying sound coming out of the core.

-------Day 7 / 8.07-------

Same as day 6. We have guests rn so development is halted.

(I’ve noticed some images have disappeared off this post, weird…)

-------Days 8,9,10 / 9-11th July-------

Generally had no time to work on the game. I’m sorry for not updating you guys.

-------Days 10 - 19 / 11-20th July-------

Well, haven’t updated this post in a while. I’m taking a break from game development to instead start a youtube channel, and generally relax.

-------Day 20 / 21st July-------

So, my break is over and I’m gonna be starting to work on the game again! I’ve made this rough drawing of the finished game and I’m attaching it below.

For some reason the floor texture seems a bit…off. It just feels like it’s too smooth compared to the other stuff around the room. Ofc, I dont mean that you should change it to a really harsh one (and probably low quality), but just find/make a texture SLIGHTLY less Color-Smoothed.

Overall all the footage look literally fantastic!! Looking foward to future updates, and even playing the Game whenever it’s released

devwingfr · July 2, 2022, 7:48pm

I agree. I’m planning to change the floor texture later on.

Day 3 is done! I have one question, though:

Would you want to play the game once the alpha comes out?

Yes
No

The results are in and the poll is closed.

its good but I do think that you should try to add some more details to it here is what I mean by that:

no details:

with details:

oh ye and also learn how to create and use meshes it helps a lot, and if you can you could use future lighting technology

devwingfr · July 8, 2022, 8:34pm

You should have read this beforehand, but in case you missed it yes I know the game isn’t detailed and I will add some eyecandy later in development.

devwingfr · July 8, 2022, 8:38pm

I tried that, but the game looks awful so ShadowMap it is.

jaybird82 · July 8, 2022, 9:39pm

Roblox really needs to make a better lighting system

devwingfr · July 29, 2022, 12:49pm

Sorry for not updating y’all for… a week.

I’ve been working on the game behind the scenes, and have come to the conclusion I’d post updates less frequently & irregularly so I don’t feel pressured to add new features every day.

Do you want to see what I’ve been working on?

Yes
No

Since this Is the only core game post Iv seen, I was wondering If you could give some feedback on a “core” I made. (If you reply Ill add an image of it.)

devwingfr · August 14, 2022, 10:04am

Alright, send a few screenshots and I’ll take look

doran2 · August 14, 2022, 5:07pm
