ads, spam, etc??
I'm just wondering, because sometimes I see games pop up out of nowhere to the FP.

It's not very hard but there's a bunch of knowledge of the front page involved.

There are quite a few tricks and ways to get on the front page.

I can get on it within 30 minutes.

My gym game got there by total accident. It was going to be a simple group-game for "We Lift"

This is what got to the front page: http://www.roblox.com/The-Roblox-Gym-Original-place?id=21575637

Had like 5500 something people in it. I didn't see it coming at all, not in that stage of development at least. I had to hire some really fast builders to get a more complex map up, then code up a storm to make it handle more players and put in a more stable statistics system, and once that was done the visits went up by about 700k (it was at 100k at the update).

It stayed in the top four for a good three weeks. Since then it's declined obviously but I had the chances to devex 1 million robux three times thanks to the game, due to bombardment of micropayments I've installed

You get points by killing people in the SF arena, Thane. Please go develop something worthwhile before taking jabs at my creations.

Oh, and players do receive player points by buying things in your game. "Buy Energy Drink (1 Player Point)"

The functionality of the playerpoints by purchase were removed around June, I must have looked over the text when I uploaded the legacy file.

Playerpoints past the V1 update were/are only rewarded in the sword fighting arena.

Forgive me for remarking your unnecessary remark torwards my overall income as a jab, a lot of *very less successful developers try to knock down my game a few notches any way they can.

@thane You still haven't proved to me that you've done anything better or more respectable XD

You're one of those 'coders' who say they'll 'get around to' making a good game 'one day'

@Thane You know if you wanted you could always copy the guy who thinks your worthless and destroy his game by making a better version (loleris did this).

Why is this still getting replies? Stop. Thane, if you say you can make a good game then do so because wasting your time here thinking you can beat mew, without an ounce of proof that you can build or script, proves nothing.
