looking to throw $3k each at 4-5 competent dev teams in exchange for equity of games. please message if you would like to make a proposal!

roblox dev is super weird when you're starting out
upon first impression, it feels like everyone is making millions of dollars while your game is making nothing
for months, maybe even years, there's no rain
you just keep building, learning and shipping with almost nothing to show for it
and then one day it all pours
#robloxdev
is 6-7% CTR the new 3-4%? feels like it's much easier to get a higher CTR now
#robloxdev
the worst messages i get from devs are massive walls of text.
when you're going through a lot of DMs, it gets tiring having to read several paragraphs, join a dozen games, and play each one for 10 minutes
instead send me video footage that demonstrates your competence
#robloxdev
i wish there was a service where i could just hand someone money and receive a finished roblox game without any of the work involved, i have so many ideas it’s insane
who offers this? surely there’s some kind of incubator for this
#robloxdev
how much do you guys think a very good idea alone is worth as a % of ownership of a roblox game?
assuming someone else handles the funding & development, etc.
#robloxdev
the increasing amount of redtape on roblox is getting annoying, first i had to wait 2 days for the expedited review and now it's been 4 hours since my ad campaign was meant to start and it is still in review 😅
#robloxdev
is it just me or is becoming a roblox developer the new trend?
my tiktok fyp is flooded with kids learning studio and talking about making games
thought experiment: what happens if one day there are more developers than players?
#robloxdev
quite funny how unoriginal the roblox ecosystem has become
a successful game gets turned into a template
mechanics, progression, UI, thumbnails... everything gets stolen until nobody remembers who created it first
#robloxdev
i didn't realise i'm going to need to wait 2 days before i can launch my game because of the expedited review :(
after working a gazillion hours a day for a week i was finally ready to launch only to discover this 😭
#robloxdev
you should probably think twice before you launch that low quality cash grab
it's become so normalized for roblox devs to launch low quality slop in pursuit of monetary gain that we've forgotten who's actually playing
children will collectively spend millions of hours in these games.
10 million playtime hours = ~15 life expectancies of a human
with that level of influence comes an ethical responsibility to build games that don't simply maximize profit; think about the destructive habits and unhealthy behaviours you're encouraging in developing children
#robloxdev
everyone underestimates how much work a roblox game takes.
even the most basic concepts snowball into weeks of work.
#robloxdev
as a roblox freelancer if your first DM is:
• "hey"
• "are you still hiring?"
• "can i send my portfolio?"
you've already wasted both of our time.
cut the small talk. send your portfolio immediately.
#robloxdev
if you're a developer and your portfolio lives in a discord server, build a website.
as someone who has to vet hundreds of developers, i'm not joining 100 servers and digging through 20 channels just to see your work.
your best work should be in my face.
not hidden behind invites, roles, and endless friction.
