Roblox is an online game platform and game creation system that allows users to program games and play games created by other users. Founded by David Baszucki and Erik Cassel in 2004 and released in 2006, the platform hosts user-created games of multiple genres coded in the programming language Lua. For most of Roblox's history, it was relatively small, both as a platform and a company, due to both co-founder Baszucki's lack of interest in press coverage and it being "lost among the crowd" in a large number of platforms released around the same time. Roblox began to grow rapidly in the second half of the 2010s,
Roblox is free-to-play, with in-game purchases available through a virtual currency called "Robux". As of August 2020, Roblox has over 164 million monthly active users, with it being played by over half of all children aged under 16 in the United States.[9][10] Roblox has received generally positive reviews from critics.

WE FINALLY BACK!!!
What was your favorite game that was abandoned? 🤔👇
by far hours it was such a fun interesting and unique game that just kinda stopped updating out of nowhere its pretty sad
project slayers.
What's the name of the game at 0:31?
demonfall
One of my favorite games, that were abadoned.. *Was | UCA
Another good example of this is vibrant venture, it used to be a roblox game back in 2020 but got discounted and turned into a real game because the bad code and the bad advertisement roblox was offering
i remember one of the developers of that game being in some controversy
@@frost.aep22222the owner recentlt got cancer
wasent its original takedown filtering enabled update that bassicly broke most of the roblox games
It got a update
i'm a solo dev working on an rpg that is inspired by games like shadovia, arcane odyssey, and deepwoken. i think i would be in a demo stage if not for my lack of motivation. it is hard to work on a game knowing that there will be people who don't understand the effort put into coding an entire game on their own and making 3d models on their own. I know that people will always complain but it is just hard to work on something knowing people expect perfection when I am just one teenager working on a game. I also don't have the money to hire commisions
I really enjoy this kind of video, not only for the contents but also for the information that you provide for the users of the community, which helps people who need to be acknowledged, gives them the motivation to continue with what they are passionate about and giving the kids a more open mind about each situation. Keep up the good work.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for this video. One of the most genuine ones you've made in a while, good way of appealing to the mass community and general developer population.
Your welcome and I’ll try doing more like these in the future I’m glad I was able to connect with people with this one
i was surprised to see games like hours, pilgrammed, voxlblade in this video as background footage. seems kind of bizarre that i know 80% of the games present though none the less an amazing video
NO WAY HE UPLOADED

ROBLOX’s “Powering imagination” catchphrase has never been more false than as of late, considering that being imaginative tends to get most developers little more than wasted time that they could have used to make their game on a platform that actually cares about making unique and engaging experiences. Truly dark times we live in😔
powering their bank accounts🔥🥶🔥🤑🤑🤑
Actually the slogan is pretty accurate. They do power imagination even though making a game using Roblox studio is a bit ass. Besides companies need money to upkeep this sight you love you use. I suppose I’m defending them but you gotta look at it from a business perspective.
Couldn't have said the reason better myself. Thank you for sharing this side of roblox development.
You are welcome my good sir
Amazing video TechyOP I agree with all of your points I do think that development nowadays has gotten less and less about passion and more about how much money can I make off this but yeah amazing video keep it up man
All of this is really due to roblox becoming more corporate but that’s a different story for another day
I love the fact that in some of ur videos you say that if you want to make a unique Roblox project to never give up and I wanted to make a good Roblox anime game but I didn’t know literally nothing in script and all of that stuff so you really inspired me to push myself to making this game 😅 thank you 🙏
Your welcome 🙏🏿
One thing roblox developers have in common is they simply cannot communicate with their community even if their lives depended on it, its like a requirement as a roblox dev to never communicate with your players and just dont update for months lol.
aside from the great points you mention i also love the persona music you put in the background. very nice.
Love the persona series so I show it through my videos lol
As a very new dev, I first wanted to create the biggest game on roblox but soon our team realized that we got no skills and money. So we decided to create a simple battleground game first, it contains lots of cashgrabing stuffs to support our next project. Some devs, however get lost and blinded by cash in the process and continued to create simple cashgrabs that brings them tons of money. Maybe I will become one of them too, since getting lots of money without paying much effort is very temptating.
You can hold out.
Great points and video! You got a sub.
I'm not going to cap bro you were spitting; me and my friend's had the same stuff on recommended for you and on home page, it consists of boring games that make you have to pay for a fun experience.
its really sad the roblox platform is like this, the lethal company discussion is a prime example of this
nearly 40k keep it up bro not even a lil break slows you down
Almost! I’m happy to have a loyal community that will rock with me through the breaks and the slow times. I appreciate the ogs like you for sticking around as well. W kai as always
I think this video is absolutely amazing. Being a small developer myself, I don't believe people quite understand just how much needs to be put into a single game to even attempt to reach 100 players, let alone thousands. Having that urge to just make a copy-paste game since so many make it to the top that way is rough. Attempting to make original-content games on roblox seems to be a lot more "punishing" to the developers rather than "rewarding." Roblox is a, honestly, scary platform to put months and/or year(s) into game development.
Again, amazing video and I hope more people understand and possibly even helping out smaller development teams that have enough struggles attempting to release creative work.
Thanks for the kind words and I’m happy you were able to resonate with the vid 👍🏾
Another banger as usual. Keep up the good work, big bro. ❤️
Appreciate it
you always make great and accurate points, and tbh its what the roblox community needs. it always makes me sad to see when devs start to think of these massive projects just for the game to end out being made poorly, or just not released at all.(anime legends)
I feel like if no one else will I have the responsibility to publicize these obvious issues and bring awareness to someone else and just spread the word and messages of encouragement as well
It sucks that you get hate for making good content, keep it up though I love all your videos
One thing I won't ever understand is how someone can put so much work into something, just to drop it like it's a piece of trash. You worked so hard on your game and now you're just gonna pretend it doesn't exist? I understand having a lack of motivation but it's honestly just sad, the sheer amount of games that had so much potential, just to get dropped is sad
The cycle will continue
one of the most underated devs are Archeximus, that made some really good games independently, such as decaying winter and contact: A-888, but she also created other good games
Ngl bro you literally the best youtuber that cover roblox news and information keep winning son ❤
Another Usual Techy W. Nice Video as usual btw DemonFall had so much potential : (
Indeed!
I frankly agree with you just thats it also keep uploading the good work
Will do
Sorry I missed the video I didn't have my device for the past few days also it's a w I really enjoyed
No worries!
Love the vids keep it up man❤
Will do!

It’s sad to see Slayers get abandoned, as it’s one of the best demon slayer games on Roblox. Me and my friends were so hyped for the newest update, then they broke the news. Tragic.
You should look at darkenmoore it’s a horror type roblox game that was abandoned a couple of years ago but I would love to play it again, another game is bloodlines it’s kinda Grindy and difficult and the community is super toxic but it is pretty fun
as a new developer: thats why i dont think making a dev team until a really big protect that i want to make bc its impossible to do every single thing alone:
coding, building, even soundtracks even tho im skilled at music and building i still have no idea how do i fix my gross scripting skills i guess indie devs must have a really long time to master at these so they can actually publish their game without almost any issues.
Me an my 2 friend are trying to create a original f2p game and is taking a lot out of me and I wonder if people will even see my game or be able to view it and this video really encouraged me to continue working on the game
It would be really cool if you could make a video showcasing smaller games that are just amazing and deserve more players here’s some of my favorites that don’t get enough players: Hours, and Neon Knights are the 2 that I love the most and some others are, Rampant, and PWNED: Aeternae Memori
I will be doing some sort of showcase soon maybe not my next upload but definitely something I have planned
Every Persona OST heard in this video (W video btw techy)
0:02 - 2:30 You Are Stronger (P5S)
2:30 - 4:11 The Days When My Mother Was There (P5/P5R)
4:11 - 5:02 Price (P5/P5R)
5:02 - 5:58 Heartbeat, Heartbreak (P4/P4G)
5:58 - 8:00 Cinematic Tale (PQ2)
👍
You my good sir are very cultured 😌👍🏾
The lethal company part hit diff
So true (haven’t even finished lor yet)
Wait you were talking about lethal company and not limbus company 💀
I once played a game called "The Lost Lands", and its a very good adventure game that has multiple biomes and disasters. Btw you can get all disasters at one. It happened to me.
Honestly i feel bad for demonfall, it has TOO much potential, even if the dev has created all the abilities, they can just add some mechanic to let players to be creative with the abilities. Like it is canon that somone can use two breathing at once. There are honestly too much rooms for it to grow
so real⭐⭐⭐ im sick of making games that no one sees like u gotta pay youtubers,tiktoks to promote ur games to actually be seen
Such a cool channel!
i feel like there is a lack of motivation for devs to make games in general, i look at how high the standard for effects and animations are and think about how someone else will top it, seeing as people on roblox only play something for its flashy effects and animations
Yea that too the change of the public’s opinion due to games like project slayers and other games with flash effects coming into play
U finally posted
Ngl I don't even hop on roblox very often except if it's deepwoken wid my friend, but ur video is soo well structured bro I watched the whole thing without realising😂. Congrats on 40k subs bro ❤
Glad you enjoyed! And thanks 🙏🏿
Jeez.. I really miss Project Star. It was such a fun and beautiful JoJo game, I was devastaded when it got abandoned.
There was a recen case in a private game called cursebound that the owner ( I think) manipulated, abused and other things that in the discord server clarified that he did. The game is not discontinued but this can be a reason why de a quit doing their projects
Can you tell me what games that on that vid its honestly looks really good
Maybe Roblox should add like a keyword function so you type in the search function let’s say “First Person Shooter(FPS)” or “Horror” or “Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure” and so it pulls up all the games following by that tag. Cause I feel that a problem is that not many people are able to find the type of games they want and so you’re having to scroll until you maybe find something that you want to play
There is nothing we can do about that 😔
Truly out of our hands 😔
"music play"
I love how you put a bunch of Arcane Odyssey clips into this.
My favorite game of the year
@@TechyOP_ Yeah, definitely my favorite Roblox game, especially since it's so good while still being in the early stages of development.
im boutta go on a marathon watching your vids
W
Annother example of shadow banning is project star. when u search it up it dosent show it up
mainly cus it hasn't been updated it almost 2 years but yea
Hey, What game are you playing. The one where you shoot enemies and pick up items when they die, I want to know and try that game. Thanks!
Thank you for the advice
You gotta talk about the current controversy with that new MHA game, AA being deleted, and the future for anime games cause its looking dark
For exhibit B it’s basically just: “Comparison is the thief of joy.”
For real though
Damn PREACH
Can you make a video on your thoughts on ABD 4.0?
The example of such games is "Blacksite Zeta". This game was and keeps being a small game. The animations are pretty good. "Nuggets" will be associated with this. But since as I said before for those who have memory like a fish, it's unpopular. The updates aren't releasing, being completely different from trash, like "SCP games and monsters". For game were large hopes: update the nuggets, add advanced mutation, more creatures, but sadly it didn't happen, because of the recommendation board consisting of copy and paste "experience" games where there are stuff like that: you work in random place, hold the E key to complete tasks, running away from monster, kill rats, news of killer or monster, simple jumpscares, calling and no one answers it. In my opinion that there are a lot of hidden jewels in roblox, but in recommendations are poops in beautiful package.
good video and I agree hopefully next year has amazing games because this years games have just been cash grab after cash grabs
Praying for a better 2024
@@TechyOP_at current roblox's state, 2024 would probably be worse.
I was like sad when I heard project slayers was going to not be deved my owuopp anymore cause this game is honesty really good I used to play it all day non stop grinding 😢and now it just gone but I had heard it might come back with new devs idk yet but praying it does cause this game was genuinely fun for me ❤
Can you try to explain a game called "electric state"? I'm just sad about the dev abandoned the game, it was truly a masterpiece with amazing graphics from the earliest Roblox years (2018), until today the game was dead.
W lore game gameplay btw, lore game is literally an example of shadow banned games
im not a developer but i play an underrated roblox game on roblox and it is veryy good but barely gets updates often so i wondered why the devs of the game wont update the game that much but this video explains alott now 😭
underrated roblox anime youtuber
I always wanted my own roblox game, i have so many ideas and it would be a demon slayer game, sadly i have pretty much 0 idea on how to create a game or the money to let anyone make it, my main idea for the game would rather have a kind of linear type of progression with a storyline and after you completed the storyline you can do other stuff like raids or protect villages, one main thing i dont like about roblox games is that how slow the pace is, for example, overkill, a fast paced shooter game where your flying across the map fighting waves of enemies, i wanna make that to so ur running incredibly fast, tree jumping and stuff and alot of parkour, and you can mix your skills in with the parkour and stuff
Yea i also had a brilliant idea for a hack n slash game though i knew no coding (i even made a crazy lore for it), but i knew it wouldnt make it far because of people playing the mediocre stuff. Btw i think the game ur talking abt is "ultrakill", not overkill :)
I agreed, some games like my favorite game is critical strike is a good and simple battle ground but it never get to front page just because not have enough money for it but the owner still develop it, he has my respect
1:26 That’s exactly what happened to a game I loved called BrickBattler
The dev also turned out to be a creep. ah, the classic dev shenanigans. However now she just wants to move on and we have to leave her be
The most logical individual I’ve seen on Roblox. I salute you sir
its a good day when techy uploads
Indeed.
but like lately twitter is all comparing of each others work i am 16 yr old who was planning on making a natural disaster survival game with some of my friends but after seeing all the toxicity by other devs most especially the gpo devs on twitter we have been thinking of just not doing it
don’t give up bro, all these devs started making games without people criticizing them
Dont give up bro
I agree with this video tbh
It’s so true what is saying about front page or shadow ban, and all of the ect.
Roblox should fix this cash grab but even if you try they won’t listen because it grants them money like what you said, and it’s also business.
So they won’t give 2 shits about you just the money, and W vids btw :p
Thanks fam 🤝
:o
would be crazy if sombody made a rly unique fighting game with sakura stand aut soulshatters combined and just made it good (thats called forshadowing)
The goat finally dropped
Guess what’s happening right now, Tower blitz released an announcement on discord that said they said would be working on a new project, so that just proves his point.
The best and i think only thing we all could do is honestly recommed smaller games with potential like (in my opinion) Decaying Winter or Bulwark i dont think there is any realistic way to get roblox to stop putting games that pay well in front page
If I was a Cash grab dev I'd challenge one of the front page games by creating something like but totally different from per say Bloxfruits or the mistake I mean Adopt Me and start a practical game war for people to choose between two cash grabs to make double the profit from both games to give to Roblox
the lack of new game creators is also tied to coding in roblox in my opionion
roblox updates their codebase way too frequently and makes getting into coding hell because any tutorial you follow might not even work
and even the tutorials that often dont actually explain anything
for instance:
if your told to use something in a script and not told how to use it or what it does you dont learn anything from this and just wasted your time
the only good learning places currently is the dev forum documentations and asking others for help which as the video states GOOD LUCK
there is a lack of any proper tutorials which means lack of new coders
this is also why code from leaks is reused and why popular games with leaks like ro-bio, abd and that other ancient jojo game exist
if we want more coders we need better tutorials that actually EXPLAIN what things do and their proper context
you can be told what a boolean does but that doesnt mean you where told how to use it and its correct contexts
finding work is also hard aswell as certain roles are often looked down on
SFX designers are often looked down on entirely for being useless despite the fact alot of popular games wouldnt have that "oomf" without the sound design
i would imagine its same for VFX and management roles to
Heavily agree with the roles being downplayed everyone plays their part accordingly to make a game go from being just decent or great
I saw many realistic,fun and unique games having like 20 players while games like adopt me or any cashgrab got on the front page
There's also the dev of HOURS preparing a game on steam
Funny thing is, blade ball is a copy of a game called deflect which only sits at 10-50 players daily
Thats true i remember deflect but deflect is a copy of a overwatch gamemode called genji ball, and genji ball is a copy of a tf2 gamemode called pyroball or something like that so no one is really free but its sad that deflect lost on all that good good and blade ball making 6 figures for copying a game
Yo techy what is your opinion on the upcoming games recently?
Don’t have much of an opinion just disappointed in a lot of them. There is a few I’m looking forward to tho
another fire video from an underated content creator
Thanks 🙏🏿
imagine the community fights back and roblox just gets embarrased by their greed
U expect roblox to entertain 20% of rblx population(that isnt kids) instead of continuing cashgrab for 80%(kids)
Literally will never happen. Roblox is a monopoly think they care about anyone?
You the only roblox youtuber i watch lol

Nice vid
Tbh demonfall is the one that hits hard I rlly miss it and I wish arrox could just update

I finnaly got a notification. Now make a video on fruit battlegrounds 🙂
Next video might have fruit battlegrounds in it
@TechyOP_ oh? Finally, an argument against the worst game on earth
As a roblox dev myself, i completely agree with the point of the dev community being toxic. Im a vfx artist on roblox and the discord made for us vfx artists is not recommended to seek advice from, There are very few people who try to help beginners there and most people will just say "lol ass" and leave it there.
Yea I’ve seen this level of treatment of a lot of newer devs and since I’ve spoken to many it really opened my perspective to just how bad it is
still solo devs/devs who make game with friends had most potentional cuz you can see clearly that game isnt a mess.
techy finnallly uploaded letsss go so close to 40k lets go chat
So close!
could you have a list with the links to games you showed in this vid?
good choice of music

May I ask what is the name of the game shown at 0:30, 5:05, 5:32 and 6:10 ?
Can you link the games you've shown in the video?
I never knew that lethal company dev was an ex roblox dev,wow

Hey I agree with everything you say and most games aren’t very fun to play and aren’t creative but there is one game that is very unique and fun to play it is called Legends Rewritten I recommend you guys try it out
fun fact, when blox fruit came out, it was an original idea, but just cause it was an original idea doesn't mean it was a good idea
He's back 😁😁
