So I have a sword fighting game that I have been unsuccessful in lifting off its feet so I could use some advice in how to make a more fun SFing game for players.
- There are around 50+ swords to buy - I am already trying to make sure all weapons are balanced - 100+ different maps
What else should I make sure to try and do? |

No music whatsoever. That ruins it.
Good maps, swords, fun gameplay. Not something thrown together. You'll know if you have something good. |

@Te
I included music in between rounds but not during them. I've been thinking of changing it to playing music in both.
Do you like the game to play sound while fighting? |

@Mag
And that is why I didn't include music during rounds.
Most people are split on it. |

| if you can, make cool intros like Alexnewtron's dodgeball. Not exactly like his, but it'll make it seem cooler. |

I do already have many of the basics like a leaderboard that shows Kills and Points.
There is already a sword shop and in that shop players can also buy armor.
- There is a lobby that I believe to be nice
- Optional music is a good idea |

Insert a GUI in which you can select from "Play Mode" and "AFK Mode"

| Short waits between fights. People don't like waiting. |

@Ionce
The rounds are three minutes long for 20 people. Is that short enough?
@Gerunds
Yep, that is what I tried to do. There are plenty of swords to choose from but it is basically just a 20 man free for all. |

3 minutes? A little too long
If you think about it, a quick round between 2 people for 1 KO shouldn't take 3 minutes. Cut it down a bit (suggestion) |

The rounds are either a 20 person brawl, a 10v10 team death match or a race mode where the game ends when someone crosses the finish line or three minutes pass.
It is not a 1v1 game. |

Is it a tournament or a FFA?
Make sure that specific weapons aren't OP, and if they are, make them hard to get, that way its balanced and people won't stop playing the game because of people using those swords.
