What are the best ways to get games out there besides advertising, as I've tried that with small numbers consistently and that didn't work. Should I save up and run an ad for a ton of ROBUX/Tix?

Also, what are the best ways to advertise your game without spending ROBUX and Tix?

How do you get enough ROBLOX players to know about your game?

Sorry if this is the wrong forum, there seems to be no forum section to fit and this one seemed the closest to me :P.

Depending on what it is, set it to a lesser used genre, so you get front page faster. Use word of mouth. Get it to front page.

Those are pretty much your options.

If you have the money, buy some R$, convert it into tickets and make a decent, eye catching advertisement comprises of images from your game or some sort of funny caption.

Ok lol. How much money should I put in to advertise. I usually do 100 Tix, but I end up only getting 1 person even clicking the ad lol :P.

Ok thanks. So it takes more Tix than what I've been doing. Also, is it better to do all 400 for 1 ad run, or 100 for 4 ad runs throughout several days?

I'd say 400 for 1.

If you haven't already, read the article on how advertising works. If you bid 100, then it's very, very seldom going to be shown.

Ok thanks! Also is it better to bet 100 Tix througout 4 rounds for a total of 400 tix, or is it better to just go all 400 tix for 1 24 hour round of advertising?

If you know anyone relatively popular on Roblox simply ask them for tips via PM. If you know them well enough get them to visit your game and play with you. Creepy stalker people tend to follow them and then the visits add up. If your game is fun enough it'll stick. Also forum posts like this help a lot. I'll be trying out your game once I finish typing this. =P

If generosity pursues in some top hit developers. Maybe you could ask them to advertise your game, in their game.

Maybe. I tried contacting other top developers several times. They never replied, probably because their inbox is so filled up they gave up reading messages lol :P.
