When I was a greedy kid

I copied games and spammed the comment section, hoping some...person, would be crazy enough to join my game. This was mostly because I didn't know how to spawn a brick(the old 2013 studio) and the search bar for free models was opened already. But no matter, I tried to make a somewhat decent game and make sure that everything in the game matches to my goal(s).

As I matured and grew older, I started doing less of this to the point of not even trying to make a game, I pretty much quit in the area. But then, studio was updated, and it was so much simpler! I then was able to spawn my first brick, along with the other shapes, and eventually made my first bunker, this is what it looks like:

It felt amazing, publishing something that *I* made, something that I put my personal time and effort into. It was then when I tried to make my first game, *my* game. I remember sitting in my chair for hours, doing my best to make the perfect map and forts for the game- I didn't make the weapons though, ROBLOX did. After I was finished, I, yet again, spammed the comments but also made an advertisement, which I would show if it let me.

But alas, no matter how much time and effort I put into the game, very few joined, so little that I might as well say nobody joined. This upset me. So, I did what I used to do as a child, I copied games and tried to hide the fact that I did. It was a success. But, "no", I told myself, "I won't do this anymore." And I didn't. Then, during school, I though up an amazing idea for a game that I haven't seen done, at the time. So when I went back home, I got too work.

However, I didn't know how to make certain things, like gamepasses. So, I did what any normal person should and does do now and I opened a new tab and searched it on Youtube. I learned how to make a gamepasses, transparent bricks, 'walk-through' bricks and other essentials. When I finished making the game, all I needed was one more thing, but that required scripting, so I decided to ignore it and just release it. I advertised it, in the comment section, but nobody came. So I gave up on the game, and a month or two later, just removed it and wiped it.

So after that failure, I decided to just work on basic games, such as obbies. I wanted my obby to be somewhat different and interesting, so I decided to make the platforms neon-brick based and tried making the next stage more difficult/time consuming. I may have failed in that part, but the few people that joined it, somewhat liked it. I was even able to get some constructive criticism as well.

I quit making it later on, not even entering studio for almost a year, until two days ago I updated studio. Now, I'm free to update 'Obby' with new stages. If you bothered to read this, I made this post for the people who don't build and just copy games, to tell them that it is more fun to build something yourself rather than copy and claim it as yours.

A good message that needs to get across.

I feel like the funnest aspect of Roblox is being able to create your own games through scripting and building. But it's sad that most of the Roblox community don't even know or are to lazy to delve into it and instead stay satisfied with playing other peoples games(which I don't have anything against).

@zelve- To be honest, I'm part of the community that rather play games instead of make them. The only reason why I started to even make anything was because I was the greedy kid. If I wasn't greedy, I would have my first ROBLOX account still, if I wasn't greedy back then not only would I have that account, but this account wouldn't exist just as this thread.

I learned from my mistakes and tried to become better from them.
