I've been working on a roleplay game for 2 YEARS and im still not even halfway done, this has completely changed my direction, Thank you for the ideas because i was about done with roblox..
Hey are you Mobius1?
You sound familiar
Hey do you have twitter where you display some leaks?
@@DrippestBacon Uhhhh nope
@@auratrix5878 About?
I think its because most people work off the motivation. When you begin you will have a lot of motivation and its great to have this because it makes working on the game fun but in reality you just need self-discipline. You wont feel motivated the whole time and its important that when you don't, you still continue to work on the game.
Lets also remember a lot of roblox developers are young. The largest project they have ever completed was their maths homework, so to create a full game is a big jump from that and thats why they often don't finish what they start/quit.
Some very good points. If you rely on discipline and long term results rather than short term motivation, and use the strategy in the video, you can go far.
@SmartyRBX Hey, I was wondering if u make shirts bc I'm looking for a shirt creator
@SmartyRBX Was wondering if u can create me a shirt can u?
@@SmartyRBX Can you make it?
Now this man right here gets it
Honestly the exact words I wanted to hear. Been so motivated to do something, then with the size, density, coding, being a one man army, it is beyond, its too much, so it just dragged me down and left. Its better to start small with something completely boring and get the hang of something overtime, than to jump into something you think your prepared for but you know deep down its going to be far too difficult.
Good luck for your journey, i am alone too and starting with small games.
i used to be a solo dev but now im in a team. I feel like being in a team is way easier so u got my respect, being a solo dev is hard
It's alot of work for one person, it's to be expected once you note down all components needed for a 'decent' game
I'm alone too bro, and I'm pretty new, like creating games in roblox since 2 weeks and learned lua a bit but still learning. Wish I had a good mate who doesn't want only money to work instead just for the fun and when game goes crazy he would get lot of money anyway automatically. So you are not alone
I honestly enjoy your videos a lot, most of the time videos can't keep my attention for more than a couple minutes but the videos I watch from you before I know it it's over. You make great points and explain everything perfect keep up the great work
This is very true knowing for most game developers on roblox.
As a roblox game dev, it's pretty hard at first but it's fun. Even though I already archived like 3 or 2 games in a row, and got my account 1 day suspended due to the copyright music back then, it got me so frighten to make a game again that it almost made me give up on developing a simple game in the process. But from all that, I still get on my feet no matter how many times I post-poned my game due to lack of helpers or scripting experience. I stick on mostly on what I'm good at like building objects, animation, and npcs just for the sake of my social hangout game. For me, I wouldn't mind my roblox game to be low or trend, but for all of you as beginners in roblox game devs, what matters in game developing is that YOU'RE having fun.
Honestly thanks for this video man. I'm having a real nice idea of a game I wanna create (would be my first one btw), and I think some of the information is gonna help me out a lot.
glad i clicked on this
this is basically what im doign rn but with more steps instead of trying to make something so ambitious the first thing you should be doing is testing. what i want to do is slowly test some things and after that things will fall into place naturally. u actually give some good tips keep up the stuff i rarely sub but u earned mine
thanks, needed this because I keep going for bigger projects than I can handle too quickly. Thanks
This is the best video I've ever seen with this topic. I'm about to start a new roleplay community and this has helped and motivated me alot actually. Thank you.
Thank you! I really look forward to seeing the video.
You bet!
Thank you so much for making this video! You are a huge inspiration to me and you help me so much! Thanks man.
Honestly making smaller projects can be fun, but it's not always for everyone, what i mean by that is that making a game that isn't interessing you isn't really great, basicly i'm doing the biggest part of my project, and when i get drain out of building for example i switch to modeling, then switch to animating, then back to building, then art design and then back at it, but i completly understand people that want to start small cuz seeing all the things you have to do to make a big game can be scary.
I'm most likely gonna resign from roblox developing as well..
it's such a pain to upload assets and audio files that don't even break the rules but get banned anyways
not to mention that even though my idea for my games are amazing, I can't compete with the other games because I have so much going on in life
but this won't be the end of developing for me because I still do web developing and actual game developing outside of roblox
thank you for this video, I wish you, and all the devs out there good luck
I’m not quitting! I understand tho. I’m just saying why people do
wanna work together
wait, who?@@sngreal
@@Z4ckStudios you and me
yo your vids really motivated me to start build scripting and all the ty and keep up the good work.
honestly ive thought of making simulators and making everything from scratch and scripting everything, i was a no free models because free models are bad kinda mind set and i realised i was completely wrong. Il try to make a "MVP" as you said in this video and i think this just motivated me even more. thanks for this great advice
I'm a pretty experienced developer and with your take on no free models, I agree you should NEVER rely on free models for your game. Only time I ever use free models is if its something I know I'm not capable of making and I don't have the time to learn it right then and there. Most of the time I never use free models but sometimes its okay. Good luck on your MVP!
thanks!@@Noasuuu
I agree with you more than anything, ego never resolve anything, we must start from the bottom, do not have a big ego to do that while do not let it go
I worked on an FPS game for over a year and released it only for it to get 0 active players lol. Roblox makes it extremely hard for small devs to get their game noticed even if it were to be better than the top page games.
For real, you could make a near-effortless skibidi toilet game and it would gain a lot of active players, and then you could make a game with actual effort in it and an interesting topic and it would get barely 5 players
Correct me if I'm wrong but I think would marketing be a helpful tool for attracting a player base for your game
That's what I'm planning to do for my game later on
Even tho am not a dev, if you want your game to do well you need to advertise it before and after you release it, you need to grow a community because if you don’t no one will even know your game existed
@@Jayhiggletonthe3rd that's true, and social media made this easy, you don't even need to spend thousands of robux on ads, just make creative content about your game and watch your player base grow 😎
There needs to be a roblox game that mimics the front page but instead of the unoriginal front page games it shows underrated games and isn’t like a randomiser game
WOW!
Developer here, I made a game years ago called Blox-verse Unlimited (Spiderman Game) in 2018. The game blew up and got a ton of positive feed back. I tried to keep the game updated but lack of funds kept me from focusing on it more and on top of that I was the only scripter and 3D modeler.
I could not update it because I was burnt out, I could not enjoy programming it , since programming physics was soo Hard! So I kind of left it to die...
I wanted to experiment other games, I wanted to get inspired and enjoy programming again!
Recently I made a game called Dead Town, I Had put so much effort on it because the game was rather much easier to make! On release week, I could not maintain a single player! The game did poorly and I thought it deserved more, but all that work, all those lines of code, money i spent to make it (3 thousand dollars) and the time to make it (2 years), just for it to flop. I was solo on this project too.
I wish this video showed up sooner, I really enjoyed the "MVP" part, it just makes sense.
I hope this video helps other developers like me, Thank you for this video.❤
damn... 3 thousand dollars.. you can just release 30 games on steam
Maybe you could teach me how to either script or 3d modeler
I put hours and days onto a single just for it to crash. I spent 30 minutes to an hour making a game I put literally no effort into and it got 1 million visits and got me 1m Robux...
Yeah its wild
Truly works
it depends on the type of game u make I think
I made a Five nights at Freddy's roleplay game In 2019 and the morphs were free models, the pizza place and everything but the Morphs, Cameras, door systems, were built by me.
It ended up capping at like 2,000 something and I ended up getting two Developer Crowns.
It kind of depends what kind of game you're making and what audience youre targeting. If you really want a game to work well you need to plan it beforehand. Who is helping? where and how can I advertise this game? how much money am I willing to spend on this game?
@@PubCountryI think I might have played that game when I was younger and in a huge phase lmao
I started developping a month ago and i learned so much things by watching your videos, I'm creating a game called "Omni Obby Challenge" so basically, It's a game where you can play different types of obby to try your Obby skills and practice (chart difficulty, classic, no checkpoints, race, season themed...).
I've added Power-ups and types of obby so it's not the same sh*t like the most engaging category and keeps the player active on the game like you said in your video.
Thank you so much for helping me with your video because it gave me a HUGE adventage and i've made a pretty good game for now but it's not finished yet and i feel so proud of making this.
i used to be like that but now i started out organized and it’s going really good actually, just like you’re saying in the video i decided to make a simple semi arcade semi realistic survival game, then if it makes money i can buy my own pc (me and my brother share computers) and then i can work full time on my projects.
my advice would first be to learn basics of coding (variables, loops, functions and statements) this might sound silly but starting with scratch is really good, then you can learn luau syntax, then learn about the roblox game engine (how to modify assets in certain ways) then go your own way.
YES BRO. This is exactly what I needed to hear to get my game motivation up. Thanks a lot man definitely subbing
Np man! Welcome!
I'm another youtuber with a small amount of subscribers that has been bullied in the past and has been bullied now, And Now I'm quitting my careers, Roblox doesn't care about what happens to its players on the game, That's why I am quitting my career. And It's so sad @SmartyRBX Oh wait haha you got trolled!
@@bluetophatboyIgnore the bullies man! I’m sorry to hear that. Let it fuel you to reach bigger goals though. They’re just giving more attention to your channel.
@@bluetophatboy what are you yapping about man
not funny and makes zero sense
@@bluetophatboy what career? 😂
Thank you, I have that motivation right now to just make a simple chill game you can explore. Of course, i'll try my best to only do one thing at a time and not rush myself.
Mostly I was ambitious too, but I switched to GUI designing and ever since, I have been learning something new always.
Thank you so much for saying this ive been watching ur tutorials for months and i thought i could make a big game and then i saw ur video
man that is the highest quality advice tysfm
I'm a lone developer that is working on a huge project that haven't got monetized due to the lack of funds but I started off with just 1 project and then when it got attention with no monetization.. I kind of pushed myself over the edge to pile up the projects and I'm still working on them and the update will be huge but it's taking time and months to work on so far but it was delayed due to studio acting up I'm currently working on it so I can get it done I couldn't of done it without my friends who motivated me to make it and to spread ideas to make it all happen this video is a true motivator to say that you got this and you can do anything since it does mean "powering imagination" so let your imagination soar!!
as a small developer myself. its really motivating as a small dev if you have a group of friends who try out your projects and have gamenights in it and suggest more stuff. i just take coding tutorials from youtube to make copied scripts to make things work etc etc. the problem is worrying about the fact that there are no players visiting your game at all except just your friends... its as if you put all those work only for you to play with friends only and no other people. tbh developing has took alot of my time this year. i might stop sometime
hmu bro maybe we can work tg
you advertise them if you want to profit but if you made it for fun its hard to get players if you dont advertise them
@@rainymlbb i might start advertising by making a community discord
Yes, this is a business problem. You need more customers.
Great video. I've spent the last 5 years making advanced projects (a Jailbreak copy, a super advanced LMS racing platformer, a parkour clone, etc..) only for them to fail. Then, one day, in April 2022, I made a simple obby game based on roblox physics glitches. Guess what? It's my most popular project ever, it reached 10M visits, earned me 10M robux, and motivated me to work on more stuff. I didn't understand *why* the game got 200 players suddenly at first, but after that I realised that people just like playing simple games
Thank you
That’s awesome.
This is what I needed, thank you very much and I am truly grateful that I stumbled upon this video.
So glad!
very good advise
Remember his words not only for the roblox development, but for the rest of your life. MVP is a very important thing in life when it comes to creating business
You’re very right
How have you been applying it?
@@SmartyRBX I read a lot of business literature and I know the concept very well.
@@tower9602 That’s awesome, and where are you using it?
@@SmartyRBX whenever I grow up. For now I really have no opportunities to use it
@@tower9602 I think you can use it
I was learning how to code but I was loosing motivation to actually continue but I keep learning to make a new game but I dont really want to fall off so I kept learning. I was about to quit but thank you!
this is so true Ive been a dev for years I quit many times but I always came back
great video! 👏
Thank you so much for making this video, this is absolutely so true.
Roblox is just almost impossible for smaller developers, the terrible dev-ex rates and etc.
You have to be a big corporation to do this. Advertisement, catchy and addictive gameplay is needed, but motivation just wears down.
I've switched from Studio to Unity though. Also, I feel like when I was using studio, I felt like I was not making that much progress, because advertisement is difficult for low robux, and it's usually a waste. After making 10K robux, it's just tiring and I cannot really convert it. The marketplace tax is just terrible.
These exact words inspire me to just take my time motivate myself and work on games that I have always wanted to create but first a tycoon might be better for funds so I can get moon animator and a bunch of other stuff
I started with a big game my first time in the studios, even though I had no idea on the coding, and some studio stuff... Thus I never gave up on the studio. Now I know much about the studio and lua coding.
My huge concept sounds like the biggest motivator:
Similar interface as clash of clans but every troop/unit is actually their own player, with village owners customizing the interiors of their town halls & village layouts. The players together can also attack other villages.
village population cap: 100
attacking player cap: 20
it takes a long time to update and people are impatient replayabilty is also a issue if it takes a long time the player count will drop so will your motivation
since im a beginner, i dont know anything about scripting, and tutorials are quite boring for me, but i found a solution to keep me motivated
i make a mvp about a really good and simple idea. then, with many ideas collected while making it, i pick the simple ones and try to find a way to implement them
i would like to have a moving button, so i go through the time to learn vector3. I wanna make my codes more complicated and tidier, i use locals. i develop both the game and me.
this is really effective because your constantly developing the game, which is progress, and it feels really good, motivating you to continue further
Thats an awesome idea. Cant wait to see it go great!!
@@SmartyRBX bad part is the game im doing is so zero in gameplay, its just a hangout game
lets see what it truly could be i guess
I have been making a game for a year, I have not even finished modeling the map because I am making 4 other games. The problem is, I can't script. The project I am working on is a Remaster of Find the Doges, I thought I could finish it in 2 years, but I'm starting to think it's gonna be 3 years. Thank for this help, because although it might be the same amount of time as I just mentioned, this could help me learn how to make the game and hopefully learn a little bit of scripting. Thanks.
This always happens to me on Scratch but I don't just quit, I just make another project and this repeats and that's why I have so much unshared projects, ty for the advice, I hope this helps me.
OMG this is true, when I work super long on a game, I even make details and MAKE my own sprites that I haven't done before to then have the most random game to blow up is really random. I'm working on one now with my own sprites and I might actually make the most simple put together game and then after a while shift the gui cause it's so ANNOYING!!
I started recently and instantly wanted to make a super complex and difficult game, I soon realized that I should start with something easier and actually do able. Thats where I'm at now.
i entered 2 years ago in the game dev world, didn't quit once! Yet making projects is super risky, i have loads of abandonned huge updates that never ended up releasing.
now i understand why i got motivated in making my own obby game wich was simple and took less time
but when i tried making a tower defense game i always get errors on stuff telling me theres something wrong with my codes but they look fine
thanks for teaching me that
Keep it up bro
Thanks for this advice.
No worries!
this has really motavated me, i really hope i pop off with this newly found plan
I cant disagree but to say, this is true at first we all have like motivation to create such a game we are imagining
like were planning out how it looks, how the game works, the plot, the UI and stuff, we are like so excited and motivated to do this so when we start making it on the first day, we have so much confidence, we make so much progress, then we take a break after the first part and the next following day, we develop on it again, we keep repeating this until to the point your slowly starting to lose motivation, this actually happend to me but the game turned out great, though its not released it has had a few testers and it goes good so far, my game has been in development for a month already, and it should be done by the point since a month is 30 days, and that is alot of time to work on and script on a game, though it may seem pretty early for just a month for a game to be released and other games take like, way longer but still, i could have done so much but yet lost motivation, the last time my game was ever developed on was like a week ago, im thinking if i should go on studio and make more progress onto the map and add more features, but yet i also dont have the motivation to, idk how to describe this technically but yeah.
I've been pretty shocked by myself by seeing so much people quitting already, to the point it also has reached and affected me, but like i think the reason is like (not really sure) is the effort we put onto our games, and once it gets released, it barely gets recognized, so we think its not good enough and we need a new game, so we make another one and we keep doing it over and over, until we get a game that can actually sustain at a decent popularity, or yet atleast people playing it and liking the game so far, but it literally gets tiring.
Recently I decided to make a roblox game despite the fact that I NEVER had any experience with roblox studio at all, except for making asset flip games for me and my brother years ago 😅
But I've been working on a serious game recently, and at the moment the map, assets and other important stuff are being worked on atm.
I want to thank you for making content like this because it brings me so much knowledge about roblox development which is very helpful for me, really appreciate it bro 🤝🤝
i stopped developing for a few months since i didnt have any ideas and all my ideas ended up not getting popular, but ever since i have seen this video i went back and now im working on a horror game that might take me months (im solo developing it)
Thank so much!
very late to this video unfortunately but i have my own little story with developing on roblox for a time
i remember when i started my hobby as a game dev back in roughly 2018 and i used roblox as my primary platform for a couple of years and began working on a project that lasted for roughly 3-ish years ( the game was remade like 3-4 times because i would have massive jumps in improvement and then scrap my visual assets. very bad practice ofc and it wasted so much time but i was still very inexperienced and wasnt really taking game development as seriously at the time )
the entire premise was initially to be a roleplay game i would play with my friends but the focus then shifted to combat which ended up adding an ungodly amount of complexity to the game
however i ended up really falling out of it in late 2022 because i was starting to realize how this platform wasnt really suited for what i wanted to do and i wanted to be respected more as an indie dev than a roblox dev, so i ended up switching through a few different game engines before finally picking up Godot and remaking the game from scratch
roblox is an okay platform for making games, but its definitely not for everyone
I was planning on doing basic stuff like clothes and weapon, simple stuff to put there for sale. but they charge (quite a lot actually) money upfront. well that makes it just IMPOSSIBLE. I can understand they have to somehow control qhat people upload, but charging upfront makes it impossible for most commen people.
Nice information
So, i have a lot of game ideas, and i just started today, and getting into my first bit if coding has been rough lol. I have an animation, but the script to make it play for players is hard and im still working on that- and if THAT is hard then oh well lol, but im gonna keep trying bc i know already that game development will be a rough journey, but i think i can enjoy it and it will pay off once i learn it fluently :)
smarty u should try making games on rec room you can make quite a lot from there aswell
I’ve been developing my game for a couple years now and just cant seem to get people to join my game even with all the ads and sponsors but this video helps show to just keep trying Thank you
What's the name of your game ?
@@oddjr it’s called flex your avatar by tallmallyg
@@tallmallygI see what you mean. I can't even find your game on Google :(
i desided to move from roblox studio to unreal engine for a bunch of reasons but mainly is because i have a very ambitious game and the engine is not gonna hold all the content i wanted to put in and if i managed to get it to work i bet that the general roblox comunity is not interesed in games with depht story and complicated mechanics, ive seen alot of games like that die in less than a week after they explode in popularity and im not the type of person that makes multiple games to see which does better or which gets more money, im more of the one that picks a singular project and makes it something that i like and enjoy, and with the general gaming comunity i think i got more chanses to make a big game than in roblox, i know the roblox engine is a good one but i think people are not using all its potential, and when they do the game just lives for weeks or if theyre lucky months and then die such as games like rolling thunder etc, so i think main problems are those and finding a trust worthy team
I actually have such a good idea (im not going to say it because i dont want anyone to steal it) and i started ages ago with my friends, we worked on it for some time but it was just really hard to code everything since im the only one that knows how to code but its really basic and we just stopped working on it, but i still want to finish it idk when but im hoping that once i finish it a bunch of people start playing it
Game development takes a lot of work. But planning helps a lot.
Right now, I’m making a game about a cat you click that creates meme sounds. That’s literally it, but i plan on extending it slowly, like adding a simple score feature, then making it into a currency feature, then I can snowball it into something big maybe.
That's not gonna be popular because blox fruit hog the player
I spent a month making a great game, 0 visits. I spend 5 seconds making a platform in space, Gets really popular, even Flamingo played it.
Exactly what I'm saying man
Great job on development
I tried to hire devs for my game and I've had some of the absolute worst experience I could possibly have. Like, they do horrible work and they expect a big payment, or (in the rare case they actually do extremely good work and expect cheap) I paid a scripter $75 to do something and he isnt scripting it saying he'd script anything else and also I have been time wasted out of a month by these people saying they're working on it but they havent.
Pay just part upfront
I agree man hiring devs is such a huge problem that rarely gets talked about like it really is a nightmare
I'm actually in the hired position but its more I'm not getting paid lol. Basically I spent around 100 hours in studio on this one place building, coding, and making UI AND coming up with unique puzzles, all from scratch and I only got paid like 6k and I didn't want to like say "pay me more" cause it kind of sounds rude but I genuinely think that the amount I did deserves a bit more lol. But yeah I get what you mean.
@@Noasuuu Yeah you should negotiate upfront and value yourself and work higher. Though, in the early phases sometimes there are compromises to get work in your portfolio.
@@SmartyRBX Yeah. The only issue is that I consider my co-workers/boss more as great friends then as, y'now, other developers and that makes it a lot harder to confront them without it sounding rude lol. Also thanks for the valuable information you are putting in these videos! For sure will help countless developers out there.
as an ex-dev i relate
i made a lot of a really high quality tower defense game but gave up halfway through development because i ran dry of motivation and summer break was ending
YOU MOTIVATED ME, I WAS QUITING DEVS A MONTHS AGO, BUT WHEN I WATCHED THIS VIDEO MY ENERGY CAMEBACK TO BE A DEV AGAIN.
I had tried to make a game once, the game was inspired by item asylum, it was called Weapon Randomization. I’am now a
coding and game dev veteran. I used to help out with newer and novice game devs on Roblox. Weapon Randomization was
published but took down a couple of months later( by me ) and discontinued, because people were nagging me for bug fixes more weapons. But I realised, item asylum has a group of professional devs, I’m on my own. I can’t revamp, update, bug fix and make new weapons, bosses, Xbox, ps support basically anything out in a potent pace. I ran out of motivation to continue helping people and to continue my game. This is my story.
I keep wanting to make big games, I was invited to a project to make a map for and it was camping something (forgot the name) and the next day after I almost completed the map (didn't look great because I wasn't good and I'm not a builder and back then I had just started programming) then later on suddenly everyone stopped working on it
my game making process is;
make a very early stage of the game, not much but what its about.
when im done i try to find bugs
then i show my friends and they tell me what to add
if it doesnt get attention i try to make it a little bit better, up until it gets some attention
if people like it i keep that version BUT
i make another updated seperate game so if people like the new one they can play it or the old one.
I’ve been working on a game like the backrooms but no monsters, just pure peace with these abandoned places, but I got demotivated because I barely work on it and even if I do, the process is very slow like I’m taking about 5-10% and I just gave up on the project 😢
Literally the best youtuber in terms of giving correct knowledge about Roblox out there
The worst things which demotivates me is my game even don't get any players so why should I make games?
But I love your motivation video bro!
Yes. Why aren't they getting players?
Self reflect and be critical and honest.
It's key!
I'm a former amateur Roblox Developer that worked mostly in the SCP Genre from 2015-2020, and now no longer do any creative work aside from things I do for fun; if I don't want to, I don't do it.
When I first started developing, I was a modeler for an up-and-coming Foundation group that had just started becoming popular because of the high amount of content and overall gameplay design quality of its sites. Back then, I figure a lot of them took it a lot more serious because they were young and it was a lot of social pressure, but the stress I was under was immense, and all caused by a small group of people that were genuinely mentally disturbed.
I worked with them for 3 years, but over time the command structure fell apart and people became husks of their former selves. Other developers fell through on deadlines, and eventually so did I and then after a while, I was one of the only developers left for the group. Everything I'd put my heart and soul into the past few years was just gone now, and it sucks because I didn't really open any doors for myself. I already have good developer friends either way, but my entire development journey has been seeing idea and creations I've spent a good portion of my life stressing on, working on, worrying about, fall to ashes and forgotten.
I did some paid intern work for a larger game designer that I was put in touch with by a friend, but thats about as far as I got, made a few hundred bucks in a couple weeks though.
damn
Holy sh, when you told me to view at this video, I didn’t expect this. Remarkable once again Smarty 👍
im a 2-3 years Starter Developer ( im still learning, i still don't know how to make good games/ good scripting and animation [i mostly use free assets and customize them myself ) but after watching this i had the same experience since one my old / 1st games are literally the dummest and very simple games ( it was a tower of hell copy ) end up getting 200+ visits and its still has more visits than my 3 month game i develop, im still not good at developing but i know if i keep trying someday a game i make will atleast get a few visits.
I dream to make an RPG styled game but I'm still inexperienced in coding so I decided to make a simple obby with hard obstacles first.
Still learning and obby is not even halfway
I kind of abandoned simply because i suck at building, like i literally made the whole game's scripts but sadly if i have no builders, it cant grow :(
I've known some of these already but glad other people think the same
ty for this vid i really wanted to create a game but i quit but now im creating a game and i need people cuz im only a kid and know nothing about creating games
Hey Smarty! Can you make a video on how to learn QA Testing or explaining QA testing. I want to do it, but don't understand it.
I am staying strong with my development, i am working on a huge project right now, and i aint quitting, i have been planning this for 2 years
i agree simple but still fun, but i also like to make games more artistic than anything. something to have some emotion or theme
Another limiting factor may be that I have no idea on how to script and for me I am on my own and I struggle to press forward.
That’s me I just started 1 month ago i knew like half of scripting but sometimes I fail so learn from yt but I can’t change it, if I change a word it breaks everything so that’s how I quit
2 days ago, i started work on a simple horror game called "A night at crossroads" and it's just a simple horror game, this is half way through day 3 and i added the forest, idc if i get views, I'll forever be motivating myself
I'm right now making a game facility overcharge and I find a way to not quit.Like make games 2 to 3 hours per weekend.And when it is week just try to relax and don't work then.If you create to much,you will loose interest
I think about quitting because of the endless bullsh|t and policy changes that ROBLOX throws at us. The biggest example being the marketplace policy change debacle that happened back in September, and so far we still haven't really gotten closure on it. Other example being things like the ad changes coming in 2024, audio policies, asset privacy, ect...
I'm constantly wondering if my games going to get deleted because of a policy change that forces me to update my assets within 7 days and a few slip through the cracks, or if an image we have in it looks slightly too much like something from a copyrighted ip, or even if a moderator is just having a bad day. Constantly asking myself "Is it worth doing this if there's a risk of it just getting taken away out of nowhere?" isn't something I want to do on this platform, but that's what I do because this is ROBLOX.
That's why I find myself losing motivation. Because why would I bother doing this if ROBLOX makes it as hard as possible to be a dev here, and that's not even talking about their extortionate taxes on sales.
I made dragon ball fighting game for example
- cinematic cutscene/screen
- impact frame
- skill
- story gamemode
- pvp gamemode
- badge characters and story characters
i made the game with my friend i am scripting and testing the game and my friend is animating for skill animations
But my game wasn’t popular at all
And no one was played my game 😔
There was a game on roblox called Vibrant Venture and it was a 2d platformer not seen basically anywhere else on the platform, you basically quick switch between 4 characters with their own move sets mid jump to do complex maneuvers, it was extremely high quality. They; however, stopped working on the game on roblox. It is now a game made OFF roblox that can be found cheap on Steam. It is still currently in development and is AMAZING. Very high quality and far surpasses the roblox version. It has a level editor and everything, it is SORELY underrated and I want more people to know and buy the game. It sucks as a lot of these devs go off roblox just to be forgotten about. Roblox takes massive cuts from their devs and also practically lock them in this toxic relationship.
Yeah ,I remember trying to make a game with my friend ,but we ended up just messing up on the baseplate and then continued playing YBA
As a dev who quitted like 5x i kinda agree but, The biggest wall we deal every day is:
Script dind't work or you don't know how to solve the problem!
sometimes all you wanted was- UNDERSTAAND how to create for example, an annoying perfect inventory IN YOUR STYLE , The way you wanted it, pickup system, pvp arena, COMBAT styles, how to make the freaking perfomance-wise gameplay without balls leak and lagging everyone
so many details, and when everything is almost fine:
we got Hackers, oh no, here we go again, imagine creating over 80k lines script, and needing to add more 40k just on security, i'm talking like that because the game i'm working on is an Mmorpg, like warcraft, deepwoken, some minecraft and terraria mixed together
xd LOL! but way different, no copyrights, i just absorb some ideas, im smart, not a copier
i really love the mmorpg games and sandbox ones, whenever i stop and start DAYdreaming about my game complete (5% of gameplay lol) i just enter in a voidzone of toughts and thinkings, then i get motivated all again, i'm 23 years old and i will continue my journey, because my dream is Make The Game, make it happen, i don't really care about popularity or smh, i just want to see what is to have a game made by yourself, oh yea im a Indie developer here, i'm doing all the tasks alone (ooof)
to be honest, it also might be because of funding and ect, most game developer's want to make money of doing what they love however with roblox, you can't really do that since you can't get actual money easily to live you're life, so they might of either went to a different game engine (like unity or unreal engine) to make money so they are able to get essentials like food and water in the future, or it could be because of burnout, since alot of the time when i try to make roblox game's, i can barely even get through 10% of the game, and it's been happening so much to me that it's kind of just getting annoying that im unable to finish anything. However this could not be the case, we don't know.
That's what this frameworks solves, it can help you reduce costs
fun fact jailbreak started out as a game with a prison, one escape, and one robbery (the bank) there were 2 cars and that was it
Quick question how did you learn to code did you take a class?
its a common mistake to bite over more than you can chew, when ever you're trying to learn a new skill, in this case game dev, always start small and learn the basics, you can then build on top of what you already know and make bigger projects, and always remember to have fun, if it's not fun doing what you're doing then it's better not to pursue it.
Im not a game dev but i have alots of idea for character models and skill effects but the problem is scripting i suck at it
I've been working on a game that has over 10,000 quests, over 100 machines and a huge Mao and I've been working on it for 5 years and it's finally halfway done
