As a developer I absolutely love the way that you analyze everything that went right or wrong and draw conclusions that you can actually work on. You don't pretend anything is out of your control and it's really motivating!
I think he's still in school, so that's why he does it. Cuz he's used to having to say what's bad and what he could do better. Just a guess please don't be mad if I'm wrong
I've been developing a vampire survivors game with randomized items for almost a year now and I'm going to start posting videos about it soon. It was very insightful to see how important early player retention is. Thanks for the video man, I love your positive attitude!
I've been coding on Roblox for 5+ years now. I remember when I started all I heard was, "Don't start with a big game!". So, of course I went ahead and tried too anyway. Luckily, I realized my mistake and made a simple obby game. I can stress enough how important it is to start with a simple game before moving on to a bigger game.
long time roblox player here - it's really refreshing to see you make these games, so much of the front page is clogged with poorly made games that are often made just with the goal of making as much money as possible, similar to mobile games. you making these games is so cool, because you're actually bringing NEW ideas to the table rather than crappy ideas like simulators that have been done a billion times. good luck with your future games! :)
Honestly, the 2nd game you created could've been a banger. The real attention-grabbing games on roblox are the games that are easily understandable, such as having the goal of the game right in your face, replayable with or without multiplayer, and could run on mobile devices. If you had spent a little more time on polishing your 2nd game, it really could've been a big hit. Just look at Blade Ball. Different game style, but similar concept. Easy to understand and very replayable on PC and mobile devices. I also have a few ideas of games I want to create, but I suck at coding, so it's gonna take a pretty long while. But I do hope you come out with a banger one day.
People saying it looks janky and boring miss the fact that you're actively improving your game and your knowledge on how to do so, which by it self is more then those people will ever do in their entire life. Keep it up man, wish you the best of luck developing!
Hey I played the game and it's actually pretty good ! The video's great as well and as a fellow dev myself it's actually motivating ! I'm hyped to see what the game you're working on will turn out like, keep up the good work 👍
For some games that focus on communities(like the bloxworld game), I think advertising through large content creators is better to show off. Content creators generally take out the boring parts and highlight fun parts, also bringing along a large fanbase
I've been a roblox dev since like 7 years old Sad thing is though my lazy ass never completes a game and ontop of that I cant be bothered to switch from roblox studio to unity. With that being said, I admire your interest in roblox studio and how you can switch so easily. Love the video!
One thing I noticed up until fhe last game is what most people suffer from. When I and most roblox players check out a game we rate it on how janky it feels. This is hard to tell with a tuturial so thats why you extended the time a little , but if the gameplay is janky we don't want to try it out any further. Of course you just started but I'm just telling you to focus on this aspect too. Your last game didn't seem janky at all so that will probbaly gain more attention
One thing I would try fixing is the UI in the game. It seems to be the make or break for the game. I love the idea and it can definitely work! Keep up the good work!
I suggest having more playerbase rather than a maximum of 6 in the new upcoming game, make the gameplay loop addicting that noone will leave the game as it would be so much fun, overall best of luck! i'm also in the same journey ^^
As a developer for a fairly big Roblox game a few years back (10.2M total visits), I will say as good of a platform Roblox is (considering free servers, free developing studio, etc.) when it comes to game releases, it's unfortunately very luck-based. Roblox does not give much of a helping hand towards smaller developers/developer teams, so if you release a really, really good game, there's a very high chance 99% of Roblox players will never know of it, ever. If people do end up catching on, it's through outside means, whether it's discord server(s), big YTers, etc. Ads are a great way to get your game out there to the roblox community, however, the biggest downside with Roblox ads is that many times *big* developers with hundreds of thousands of Robux will buy 10s of thousands of ad spots that block many, many smaller devs who buy a few dozen ads or even 100 ads. It's a very, very difficult time to get yourself up on the "ladder" when it comes to Roblox developing. If there's something I've personally learned with developing; knowing people is the best way to get yourself out there. Reaching out to people, getting to know people, etc. You had some awesome and unique ideas! That alone is a plus for developing on Roblox, many developers, even big time ones, now rely their entire development process around trends. Keep it up!
I feel like if you went back and finished super saga, I and other players would enjoy it a lot (especially since people are starting to love RPG games, ESPECIALLY ME LOL)
i honestly think one of the biggest problem in your games, is the GUI, most of the players, enter the game, look if call their atention or if its pretty to be diferent, if its not, the quit, thats one of the things i see, that could really help u with your games
i like the way you went big for your first project, but i personally think you should put your name out there first before you work on projects that take almost a year to make, create a simple game that has a lot of engagement, tycoons, simulators, RP games and obbies fit that criteria.
One thing I've learned is that the first 15 minutes of your game define the impression you get from everything else. If you can't even get it up to that then the game is outright unappealing, whether be it by janky gameplay mechanics, oversaturated interface, uninteresting core loops or even before joining the game, thumbnails and description. If you are able to retain the player for 15 minutes, there is a chance they will get immersed and will want to spend more of their time experiencing the game. Otherwise, they will label it as another cashgrab and move on to something better.
With Roblox I 100% recommend making a community before the game is released show sneak peaks of your game on discord or twitter your game looks really good and I bet if you even made a small community you could’ve got easy feedback before having to spend money on advertising then when you think your game is ready for the judgy people of Roblox then advertise
I taught myself by follow tutorials and just trying things for fun, if you do it enough it's like anything you will get good at it. Curiosity is your best friend, try and learn about things that interest you
Developing is hard currently getting into it never made a proper roblox game but ive spent time doing pixel art and making 2d games as a newer dev would you reccomend anything or anywhere to learn effectively?
You got your self a sub but pls publish super saga it would probably do well and I think it would be fun but you just need to change the ui it’s a bit confusing ❤
as a creator on roblox when you said pump out a game every few months I started laughing then when you said start off with something simple I laughed again because I made those assumption starting off >_
Its hard do learn Roblox Studio. Every course I find focuses on building rather than programming. And programming with them is the basics, despite the "pro" name. I haven't found any good course so far, not even a paid one. I've been at it a year and still know very little.
6:48 your game has an ai genrated icon and thumbnail, most experienced players see this as an instant cashgrab and wont click on it, marketing will make or break your games popularity as its the first thing they see. I do acknowledge you are a solo dev but just take into consideration people dont really like ai. (could be the reason for the dislike ratio)
09:05 did you make proper mobile optimazation and ui compatability? or did you atleast play test on mobile before releasing it? because believe it or not, over 80% of the roblox player base is on mobile. and since mobile, is... well... just terrifyingly buggy, that might've been the reason so many people quit after around 3~5 minutes.
not to be the bearer of bad news but one of the things that make roblox games popular is good animations vfx and just stuff to generally made it look good having a game thats just fun on roblox wont pull in that many players not only that but your game needs to be somewhat original and not just another version of an already existing game.
hey man im really trying to learn lua and work on a game, im really into things like this kinda stuff but i dont know where to start or how to get myself into it without losing motivation. do you have any suggestions or anything?
I don't know how much they enforce this rule but I'm pretty sure you can't have 'Blox' or 'Roblox' in your games name, which only goes for games made past June 22, 2022. Like I said, I don't know if they enforce it that much but I'm just letting you know in case they do.
Hey just saying. Its about making the game fun and try to make it replay able just look up games that are good for inspiration there allot of games on the front page that are bad but there also hidden gems in it.
As a developer I absolutely love the way that you analyze everything that went right or wrong and draw conclusions that you can actually work on. You don't pretend anything is out of your control and it's really motivating!

@@yodathedevelopper thanks man! Appreciate you!
nice motivation,
i started game development myself but wasnt motivated enough to do anything
Motivation for me comes from my desire to try new things and learn! find what motivates you!

All I wanna say is, remember me when ur a famous developer.
You are by far the best 18 months developer I've ever seen, keep it up bro.
Thanks man!
definitely following the progression loved the video good luck in the future
W Game hope to see you on the front page soon
Nice work man 👍 keep going your gonna make the best game someday.
Appreciate you!
Turned on notifications, I'm excited to see more Roblox game development videos :D

make sure the game has the option to turn down graphics since lots of players play on like 200 year old Samsung S1 from like 2001
Such a good video! Very insightful and honest 🙏🙏
Amazing video
No way u only have that much sub u deserve more broo ❤
Maybe one day! Gonna keep working!
Broooo how blox world has not blown up yet ?? This game is the GOAT
What is the song playing at 6:00 !!
Kompa frenzy bass boosted
Make a survival game, if you want of course. 👍
I feel like if you went back and finished super saga, I and other players would enjoy it a lot (especially since people are starting to love RPG games, ESPECIALLY ME LOL)
Loved the video would definitely have played these games
why is this man not viral? Mad respect 🔥

This gave me the motivation to learn. I've been procrastinating doing it.
What did you use to first learn Lua?
You can sell that game for 1M robux…
What game?
Witch one?
In my opinion a game with a simple idea with a pretty good gameplay loop and high quality resources would be a lot more engaging
I would really love to see anime frenzy
i like the way you went big for your first project, but i personally think you should put your name out there first before you work on projects that take almost a year to make, create a simple game that has a lot of engagement, tycoons, simulators, RP games and obbies fit that criteria.
Bro your games are to good
You got my support
Tip: Put legends in the video, please! i'm brazilian and it's a dificult for me translate other language just listening

ready for the judgy people of Roblox then advertise
Yeah man i agree! Starting here on youtube now to hopefully build a community for my next game!
How did you learn roblox scripting? Also it was a really good video and fun to watch!
I taught myself by follow tutorials and just trying things for fun, if you do it enough it's like anything you will get good at it. Curiosity is your best friend, try and learn about things that interest you
@@OkinStudios thank you!
Can you make a video how you started to learn lua scripting ... Would be helpful, because I resently started by myself, but its really hard to learn.
When you get popular, can you remember me?
Developing is hard currently getting into it never made a proper roblox game but ive spent time doing pixel art and making 2d games as a newer dev would you reccomend anything or anywhere to learn effectively?
Hope you get 1,000 subs or 500
i support! we made it!
Great video
You got your self a sub but pls publish super saga it would probably do well and I think it would be fun but you just need to change the ui it’s a bit confusing ❤
I beg u make a open world rpg of sword art online and if u dont know what it is, go try the game named World Of Aincrad.
bro PLEASE go into fullscreen 😭fire video tho
ur good at making games but u should work on marketing, u shouldn’t rly waste ur money on roblox advertisements and more on social media
hey dude im starting game development too and i just wanted to know.
did you watch tutorials on how to make the stuff or did you just figure it out
@@dinossaurotop2.148 ofc i did! Watch my next video about how i learned game development

MAKE ROBLOX GREAT AGAIN
How did u learn to code lua for roblox
Sugestions are : learn to animate r6 or r15 better and learn to make vfx better
09:05 did you make proper mobile optimazation and ui compatability? or did you atleast play test on mobile before releasing it? because believe it or not, over 80% of the roblox player base is on mobile. and since mobile, is... well... just terrifyingly buggy, that might've been the reason so many people quit after around 3~5 minutes.
Yep all my games are adapted for mobile
@@OkinStudios no ideia what it could've been then, other than the genre being, well, not very popular :(
How did you learn Lua ? 🤨
how did u learn lua in a short time? did u use any videos or something like that?
This goat! Then i pulled like 12 hour days working on the game last summer🤷♂️ youtube.com/@thedevking?si=U5jxrewBLwKd-8qn

Hey just saying. Its about making the game fun and try to make it replay able just look up games that are good for inspiration there allot of games on the front page that are bad but there also hidden gems in it.
If you’re not gonna release super saga can you please open-source it?
or if not open-source-ing it can you give away some assets
you should make super saga a 2.5D and 3D
The last game is more like the sports modes in party animals
Can you make a raft game pls :)
