I HAVE RELEASED MY GAME AFTER 1.5+ YEARS OF DEVELOPMENT!!!
OG forum users probably remembers the thread that i made: Maple’s Development Log
But yeah after soooooo long its finally out!
Was gonna post about it on the 9th but forums was down
Check out the Discord, trailer, and play it here!
The game is based around Elemental Battlegrounds and is a FFA magic fighting game with over 30 unique spells to choose from. Give me feedback in this thread or in the discord server!
(blatant clickbait self advertising hahahaha play my game its dying pls)
Anyway, I decided to try out this game and managed to reach level 21 over two days (with only 1 kill because I couldn’t kill anyone to save my life lol)
I don’t know if this is my internet or my computer not being powerful enough. But my fps couldn’t stay at 60 at all (which isn’t a problem to me since it only hover around like 30-45), but the big issue I have with the game is that the ping just couldn’t stay below 600 for some reasons. This doesn’t happen to me on ANY Roblox games (which tbf I played like 5 at max but you get the points)
Oh, and don’t forget the ping spike that goes to 1000 at best, and like 4000 at worst. This happens whenever I respawn, when the map changes, and occasionally during a fight.
The former two aren’t a problem in my opinion, but the lattermost is the worst. These ping issues force me to play defensively and at a disadvantage since I have to predict the opponent’s position 1 second ahead.
Normally, even on the most unoptimal server location possible (NA for me in this case), 300 ping is the maximum for me (which is still playable for me as long as it’s not timing-heavy games cough deepwoken).
So I often see this as heavily lacking optimization, as going above 400 ping when doing nothing shouldn’t be possible unless the server is completely overloaded all the time, or if the network optimization is terrible, where it sends way too much unnecessary stuff to the client in real-time.
Other than that, some elements feels really powerful compared to others on the same tier (earth, lightning) and some moves feeling a bit underpowered (water’s string of life [aoe feels too small], fire’s sun slicer [fire cutter variant, has too much windup], water’s liquify [doesn’t feel worth it to use]).
Though not sure if these problems are because I have a skill issue, and having a 600 ping issue also doesn’t help, but whatever.
I guess the game is fine? I think it might improve as time goes on, but I can imagine this game not being accessible to anyone without a high-end device.
My old ass still remembers when technology first came out only to realize it was either an absurd grind or a ridiculous amount of robux down the drain to be able to use it
Good time, I remember making an alt just so that I can grind diamonds faster (since I’m at low level and I’m able to obliterate noobs in beginner server with starting element by being good at aiming) so that I can get technology.
Kids nowadays with their generic roblox ARG John Doe skins and Italian Brainrots with 10,000,000 aura(stink) or whatever will never know of the joy that came from destroying someone who had all the most expensive magics with just the three starter elements
well then idk cuz tahts just how the game goes, its meant to be fast paced die kill rinse and repeat and ive already reduced move damage by like over half so theres nothing else i can do but try and optimize now
