Customizable Things / Items

8.) Add Customizable things / Items
This is pleas-able to the community so they can earn certain items and customize!

Players Name in Interactive Devices

9.) Add players’ names in notifications or pop-up devices!
Go to the block tab in the device and copy this block (the “Has fixed a canister” is an example)

Camera View

10.) Add a camera view!
Add a camera view to have players see inside of bounds!

Lore & Sentries

11.) Add Lore or Sentries (Maybe even NPC If you have Season Ticket as of 2025)
This will make people more interested to see what happens next and let people know!

Random Events

12.) And the most random or surprising events!
Like maybe your fixing a machine, when an angry bear starts chasing you, or your bald teacher runs after you! (Hint at my old teacher lol)

Use Shortcuts

13.) Do shortcuts when editing to make faster and easier!
For example: Multi-delete, Copy and paste, Faster Walk speed!

A Lobby

14.) Add a lobby
Add a lobby where people can chill and sit without being chased by a bald teacher :laughing:

Play-Test Game

15.) Play-test you game often!
You don’t want to assume it works, and you also want to find glitches or bugs before publishing!

Make a Plan

16.) Make a PLAN :round_pushpin:
Make a plan so you don’t just come up with the most crazy things and your game becomes a mess!

Hide Health Bar & Shield

17.) Hide health for certain games!
Like a Dandy’s World type game…

Music & Background Terrain

18.) Change the background terrain and Music
Change it so it’s not a plain lump of clay! And so you can dance to those beatzzz!!! :sign_of_the_horns:

Layer Terrain & Props

19.) Layering Terrain & Props
Please do this to make it look better!!!

I know I didn’t layer my terrain and props, Get over it

Teleporters

20.) Add teleporters!
To transfer from one place to another! Plus make it invisible so it’s smooooth…

____ Has jo!ned game

21.) Add a player entered game notification (If it’s like battle royale)
Follow this code in a notification devices’ block tab

Checkpoints!

22.) Add Checkpoints!
Do this so people don’t rage :enraged_face: and never play your game again :frowning:

Update Log

23.) Add an Update Log pop-up!
Do this so players know what happened while they were gone!

Add a Warning

24.) Add a warning (In case)
To make it look official and sound cool :joy:

Sneak Peaks or Trailers

25.) Add sneak peaks or trailers!
This. Will. Increase. Popularity! I suggest posting trailers on a media app: YouTube, etc.

I hoped this helped some of you, if you already have all of these or most of these you’re already prepared! Have a great :sun: & :new_moon:

I feel like people should use the feed more, I know you can’t really see people use it often but it’s a really neat thing if you want to go into what’s happening in game much more.

That’s okay :slightly_smiling_face:

Good guide otherwise!

GUYS, this is a dupe. we need to flag it, but it is a little bit unique, liked the badge one. i will add it to my game. have few suggestions:
add rewards!!
add upgrades!!
also make some categories for some unique maps. with their own features. you added lots of effort in this.
also pls make your colors match each other, while i was reading, i had headache from the images
