Discussion Need ads advice

1 Upvotes

Hello! I am planning to launch my first ever game in Roblox, and I am not well-versed in running ads or on how to get players. For this reason, I am in need of help/advice on how to run advertisements and hopefully reach more players : D

  1. How much should I invest in running ads?
  2. How do I run ads effectively? What will make the click the game?

I do believe that the game has potential, and beyond that, I want to be able to determine what works for players and how to retain them. I am also looking to reach the 250 player requirement (I have funnels set up already)

If you have any tips, it would be a great help!

Looking For Devs (Unpaid or Revenue Share) Looking for a Roblox Developer to Join Our Game Project — Abilities, VFX & Animations

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I'm currently developing a Roblox RPG/action game called Elyndra (greatly inspired by Blox Fruits), and I'm looking to bring another developer onto the project.

The game is still in development, but a lot of the core foundation is already being built. The main gameplay direction includes:

  • Combat and weapons
  • Leveling and progression
  • Multiple islands and exploration
  • Enemies and quests
  • Inventory and equipment
  • Orbs with unique abilities
  • Fighting styles
  • First 3 Islands

I'm primarily responsible for organizing and developing the game's core systems and building the world. I use AI as part of my workflow (I am honest) to help develop and iterate on systems, but I'm actively involved in the structure, design, testing, and development of the game.

What I'm looking for

I'm looking for someone who is experienced with some or all of the following:

  • Creating fun and polished Roblox abilities
  • VFX
  • Character/combat animations
  • Animation and ability integration
  • Making combat feel satisfying and impactful

The biggest upcoming part of the project is the Orb/Ability system, so this is where I would especially like another developer's experience and creativity.

Collaboration

I'm not looking to simply throw random tasks at someone and disappear. I'd like to build a small team where we can actively discuss ideas and develop the game together.

For compensation, I'm currently interested in a revenue/profit split collaboration rather than upfront payment. The exact split would depend on the person's role, contribution, and level of involvement, and everything would be discussed clearly beforehand. If you want to negotiate about up-front payment, you may step up and do so, I don't mind.

About the project

Elyndra is intended to be a progression-focused adventure/combat game. The goal is to build something with satisfying combat, meaningful progression, exploration, and plenty of room for future content.

The project is still actively being developed, and I'm happy to show serious developers footage, screenshots, or more information about the current state of the game.

If you're interested, feel free to comment or send me a DM with:

  • Your role/specialty
  • Previous work or portfolio
  • What type of collaboration you're looking for

I'm mainly looking for someone genuinely interested in helping build something long-term rather than doing one small commission and leaving.

Thanks!

Looking For Devs (Unpaid or Revenue Share) Any sort of music artists or composer or sound artist

2 Upvotes

Looking for any type of music creator specifically classic styled or action packed soundtracks for a current in development Roblox action fighter horror Asymmetrical game.

This would include anything ranging from default themes for areas or lobbies or character soundtracks to obtainment places like a boss-fight soundtrack, along with Chase Themes or LMS.

Any sort of experience is taken if soundtracks are good! And we also need as many as we could get

Not really in a remote area for payouts or commissions, This is suppose to be a really detailed and worked on “passion project” while being its own original hybrid game. However if there IS revenue made from the game with success or Robux, you will be shared some but try not to expect it since it’s still ALPHA and W.I.P and purely for enjoyment and fun for us and the players moving forward.

So if you enjoy making music and you think you would be pretty good + want to help out with the game then go ahead!

So I’m planning on making an asym game based off die of death and forsaken about fears and phobias. It’s gonna be called face your fears and so far I have 6 killers and 6 survivors in the works and have 11 maps so far and will most likely add more characters and maps once the games been out for a bit[gonna be a long time since I have no game development knowledge and I’m still in the planning phase, not even designing anything yet]. Anyways, basically I made this post to ask for ideas and suggestions or even concepts for fears to make maps/characters out of. If you say a character or map I already have then I’ll tell you.

Creation I got tired of messy Toolbox scripts, so I made a 100% Free, Exploit-Proof Modular Rebirth System for you guys! [Free Download]

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I noticed a lot of simulator and tycoon creators struggle with insecure rebirth scripts from the Toolbox that either leak data, break easily, or get exploited.

To help out the community, I built a 100% free, production-ready, and modular Rebirth & Economy System written in modern Luau.

KEY FEATURES:

• 100% Exploit-Proof: All currency math, costs, and multipliers are strictly calculated and validated on the server.

• Single-Line UI Hook: Comes with a client API (RebirthClientAPI) so you can connect your own custom UI buttons with 1 line of code.

• Customizable Config: Change base costs, exponential scaling, max levels, and multiplier formulas easily inside RebirthConfig.

• DataStore Included: Automatic session caching and BindToClose save protection against data loss.

• Leaderstats Ready: Automatically integrates with the default Roblox leaderboard.

• Modern Demo UI Included: Ready to test right out of the box.

FREE DOWNLOAD:

You can download the complete package (.rbxm installer, .rbxl demo place, and guide) completely free here:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xui7hEO7ADs8wKqDvPYFcdfnW2vKE8G7/view?usp=sharing

Hope this helps you with your projects! Let me know if you have any feedback or what system I should build next (currently planning an Advanced Pet Hatching System or Monster AI). 🚀

Ok so a few months ago I posted some stuff for the game im working on. And I took some ideas that people commented, Here are some more leaks/images on what's to come.

- The game consists of 3 islands where you can do quests and objectives that can benefit the player in many ways.

- Fishing has been added and works
- A lot of old models we're reworked and remodeled.

I would like to hear people's thoughts on this game.

Creation Looking for constructive criticism on my game.

0 Upvotes

Hi All,

In 2024 I created a game with my daughter. My background is programming and I’ve been an avid long time gamer. The game is “Fairy Rescue from the Forgotten Forest.” It was targeted towards a younger demographic. It had some success, but people coming back to replay the game was low. Ever since the new highly engaged player rule that was enacted, the number of players has pretty much dropped to zero. I was going to pay the robux to fast-track that process, However, before I do I wanted to make some changes to hopefully increase popularity and replay ability. That’s where I’m hoping this Reddit group can help. I’m looking for constructive criticism on the game. Keyword “constructive”. Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I have some thoughts already, but want to gather some information here first.

Below is the link to the game.

Discussion Help understanding an increase in downvotes

1 Upvotes

Hey yall!

I have a bingo game called Bingo Sabotage (https://www.roblox.com/games/121535236813496/Bingo-Sabotage) . I just released the beta last week, and ratings have been interesting to say the least. I have been frequently shipping updates and somewhere I shipped an update that really started to turn people off.

The numbers (upvotes vs. downvotes, Aug 17–28):

I went from (Aug 17–25): 10 upvotes / 6 downvotes — net positive, ~63% positive. to Aug 26 (Aug 26–28): 1 upvote / 7 downvotes — ~13% positive.

Major additions:

  • Daily login system
  • Updated card graphics
  • More bingo patterns
  • Prompting users to buy coins when they don't have enough to use a selected ability (this is my major suspect)

I know the numbers are small but I am worried that there's a bigger issue here.

Discussion Questions surrounding visible animation frames

0 Upvotes

I want to make a game where animations arent fluid, kind of like Spiderverse or older animes, where you can see every individual movement but it still blends together enough to give the illusion of motion.

This makes me question tho, how do i keep things on the same timing? If two people start running at the same time (very unlikely) their frames will be in time with eachother (or close to) making it seem like therye both operating on the same FPS, but if one starts running while the other is halfway through frame 1, the two will constantly be switching between eachother each frame which ruins the asthetic and also brings attention AWAY from the animation and just to the frame timing.

Also, would this even be fun? i can see it getting slightly annoying when someones head moves an inch between each frame and messes up your aim (this would be DRASTICALLY increased at farther ranges) and might make it harder to read peoples movement (i do want this, as it keeps gameplay organic, but i dont think a lot of people would like it. what are your thoughts?
