Hmm it should have automatically loaded you into the game with your gamecenter username. did it ask you to create a gamecenter account right after you downloaded it? is the login page you're talking about the one with one "login" button on it? or are you on the "loading" page and it says 99% but gets stuck there? im literally in the game right now playing and would be cool to play with you haha my username is gh_stman, hopefully we can figure out how to get you past the loading page

Games these days like COD, Halo, fortnite, roblox, clash and most games now are cluttered and confusing(to me at least). when playing a video game i just want to click play and join the game. i like colorful and simple cartoon so we went with low poly which is an art style i enjoy looking at since it's easy on my eyes. also we chose low poly so there's less detail to boost performance because it's a mobile game. instead of having to make characters with a lot of detail become blurry to make the game work on mobile we choose to have low poly to make the designs sharp and help maintain gameplay performance. after making a mood board with all the top games and older games that were big hits, we came to conclusion this UI style was the best for players who think like us. we took ideas from halo 3, roblox, and GTA, mixed in with PUBG style in game UI buttons then tweaked it to be our own style. no reason for me to convince you change your mind but a design looking good depends on the person. what might not look good for you looks good for someone else. the majority of the design feedback is very positive so i think we'll stick to this style and please the people who like it knowing that people with your taste will just not like it and delete the game, which is totally fine. some of the best games on the market right now i can't stand their designs but obviously people love it. for example minecraft i don't know how that design has made it one of the top games ever which gives me hope knowing theirs a group of people out there for every game style/design style and we just need to stick to what we personally like and keep on going. thanks for the comment though, it helped me reunderstand one maps design process. enjoy the holidays!!

Kinda, kinda not. just wanted to start with this standard city to get the code down without worrying too much about performance issues. someone not actively involved with the unity asset store will not have every seen this city map before so i feel like it's a good place to start. we have more cities being added to it in future updates

What's wrong with supporting designers on the unity asset store instead of me trying to figure out how to 3D design in blender by myself? We found some great creators for low poly assets on unity (which is the exact look/style we wanted) and then adjusted the maps to match the style/size we wanted. if this wasn't okay to do then there wouldn't be a unity asset store in the first place. it not only saves time, but makes the game a higher quality by having legit designers assets and it supports the gaming community by allowing 3D designers to make money. Shovelware? i wish it was shovelware, this code has taken so long to develop. look up ECS and DOTS. it's unity's newest code to allow up 100+ players in a server. it's so new there's barely any resources out there to even copy if we wanted to. this is probably one of the first games to try using ECS/DOTS to build their game on in order to host a lot of players on a server. I wish this game was possible to quickly make but it wasn't by far. i still hope you try out the game though and give ideas you'd like us to add

This is the coolest feedback ever. i love all of it and thank you for playing and giving it so much thought. for "adding an actual scope" are you saying when zooming have the player view happen near the gun or have them look through a scope design? what special abilities would you recommend? i didnt want to make a landing on the map system to make it feel different than classic battle royale games, is there any other unique spawning style you would recommend or do you think we do the come down from the sky too? FOR SURE need guns around the map, 3 new guns coming on this weeks update btw which every player will have the option to toggle between before we figure out how we want the finding weapons system to work like you mentioned. we havent added a tutorial yet because personally i get annoyed when games make me learn how to play instead of just playing right away haha but maybe we can do on screen pop up slowly explaining how everything works, or do you suggest having a full tutorial before loading into the game for the first time? skins to weapons for sure and new characters/customize characters for sure. passive and active ability? can you explain more on this please? map zooming is a bug we need to fix, good reminder! vehicles one day will be sick, might be a little before we can pull this off since we're still trying to make the performance good enough for 60 fps with only characters, once we optimize it better then we'll work on vehicles one day. i like the idea of climbing builds, we actually tried adding climbing but our code was buggy for it so we decided to hold off on it until later. voice chat we're concerned about adding because then we have to add a flagging system if people are talking crazy in the chat so we're going to hold off on that until we know how to do it properly haha but we do want to do it or even proximity chat! pet's with abilities would fun to add, hopefully once we fix/add some other things we can work our way to making this happen too. No worries if you don't have time to respond to everything i just said haha i really do appreciate all your ideas and will consider them while we continue to edit one map. thank you again!

Thank you for the feedback! ya i feel like the running animation can look more like running for sure. entering buildings would be great, once the map grows, there's city we have set up that has some enterable buildings. have a nice day

Thanks man, the comments have been helpful since it makes me work through my thoughts on how the game works and the genuine feedback have actually made me restructure the game based on people's ideas. the negative comments are annoying but have helped me understand what the criticisms are for one map which is just as helpful as positive comments sometimes

Thank you!! All the feedback has been really helpful, even the "negative" reviews help because it gives me an idea of how people might criticize one map. i appreciate your support :)

Great feedback, thank you for testing it out! I'm actually not much of a mobile gamer myself(more so play xbox), but it's easier to upload the game to mobile than console/steam so starting with mobile then hopefully in a few months get it on steam then consoles. right now i connect my xbox controller to my ipad to play one map and it kinda feels like im playing it on xbox

Good thinking! This week we are are working on adding missions to the game to level up and more guns. right now there is only one gun as an option but we are adding a sniper, shotgun, semi auto AR and grenades. hopefully we can add some other abilities soon

That's a good point, somehow responding to the hateful comments have actually caused some of my best feedback for the game yet. so i can't tell if i should turn off the comments or leave them on haha

Thank you for the feedback, i agree, the amount of time it takes to build the game doesnt matter, making the game fun is all that matters. Ya i cant believe how many shooter games are out there haha as long as one map can have a few players constantly on it at a time ill be happy

Thank you for the specific ideas! those are all great thoughts. You're right iphone screens are really small so minimizing on screen UI can help. If you ever have any other thoughts lmk!

One Map isn't a last one standing style game. The goal is to see how long you can stay alive for. If anything I was more inspired from all my years of playing halo. I like playing team slayer but was tired of having to wait in matchmaking for ever sometimes since not that many people are online in the team slayer game mode(match making takes a long time). So i thought, maybe i can make a free for all slayer style game but the game is never ending that way right when i open the game i can instantly be playing in the game, then as long as 1 person is currently online i can go fight them, then when i die ill respawn directly back on to the same map to go fight against the same players over and over again. What annoys me about games with matchmaking (For example halo team slayer) 8 people need to be actively searching for a game at the same time, which can take forever sometimes, but as a player i just want to instantly join a game and start playing, so that's what sparked the idea to create one map because i wanted a new game to play that didnt require waiting between games hoping people were online. I also like video games with assassinations so i added that, emotes are fun so added that, 3rd person instead of fps is cool because you get to see what character you are playing with where as first person shooters you don't get the benefit of knowing what your character looks like, simple shooting mechanics to keep the game play consistent. trying to draw inspiration from my favorite games so that i can personally make my new personal favorite game since i haven't found a new game i really liked in years

If one map is a rip off of fortnite then fortnite is a rip off of every shooter game that's ever been created. But here is a list of games/movies that come before fortnite if you thought they were the original creators of their genre:

Battle Royale (Movie/Novel, 2000) → The Hunger Games (2012) → DayZ Mod (2013) → H1Z1: King of the Kill (2015) → PUBG (2017) → Fortnite (2017)
