Where Have I Been... Again? (Plus Game Showcase)

Sorry guys I kinda left without saying anything! Just been really busy recently. I wanted to share this cool Tree-Chopping game I made though, and I will keep doing more videos in the future. If you have any suggestions for cleaning up my scripting or for future games, lmk!

2:26 that box your referring to is the view selector. It has its purpose, and does its job quite well, but I understand where your getting at with it being annoying. You can disable it by going to the view panel, just locate the option that has the alt text "view selector", the icon looks like a box if i remember correctly.
And what do you mean its not very good? I mean, its not up to par with the more popular simulators, but your project is actually very good considering your a new developer. Your current mechanics have a solid base for additional features. Note: given this is a grinding game, make the reward for grinding larger, or more obvious.
I would say if you spent 1-2 months polishing the current features, it would be amazing. Sure there's work that still needs to be done, but you are already so far in the project, you might as well make your hours count. Thats just my two cents however, your still free to do whatever you like.
Edit: additional note: at 6:36, that solution works however you typically want to use attributes for that use case.

@@Canyobility wow. Thank you so much man! I genuinely really appreciate the help and support. When you say “make the reward for grinding larger or more obvious”, could you specify a little more what you mean by that?

@@bentley2400 Sure thing
In your video, the goal of the game is clear, however the reward for going through and finishing the game was not. If you dont offer a reward for beating the game, less players will feel motivated to put the work in finishing it. I hope this makes sense.
So, what I suggest doing is to create more incentives for players as they go through your game; but to also hint towards an end goal.
By the way, I just finished watching the video, and I know the solution to your issue you were talking about at ten minutes in the video. To make changes to your games world on the client, you use a special kind of script called a local script.
Server scripts would replicate their changes across all players. Local scripts however stay on the client, thus any changes made on a local script does not replicate to all the other players in your game. You can communicate from Players and Clients using remote events. For instance, if you want a local script to render some UI, your going to need to fire a remote event, which is in term connected to the local script that hides the UI. I hope this makes sense.
Keep in mind however when using local scripts, to account for their security venerability, and dont trust the client. I hope this helps, but there are plenty of tutorials on local scripts already.

@@Canyobility Thanks Canyo! And yes I think that makes sense. I’ll try my best to implement all of this. Thanks again 🙏🙏
