Basically,since Tickets are being removed,it'd be a great time to implement a new currency. One very different in behavior and in no way able to be traded with Robux,so no inflation or anything.

Basically a currency called Develobucks(I'm bad at names. ;~;). For every visit a person gets to their place,they get 1 develobuck. If a player keeps playing for an hour,they get 10 develobucks,2 hours is another 20,3 is another 20,and then it's stuck at just adding 20's for each hour.

Develobucks can be used for developer things. You can create shirts with them(up to 5 for NBC),create sound effects(up to 10 for NBC),and other things that would help out with the developer to earn an actual profit or improve on their game. Develobucks can only be used to purchase the right to make these sort of things,and they cannot be used to purchase the majority of items on the catalog(maybe a few specific developer only items).

Develobucks CAN'T be used to trade for Robux,and they can only be earned,they cannot be given. So you have to have actual people playing your games.

Now a few people could try making alternate accounts and just playing their game,but they could only do it one at a time per computer,so it'd take a while for them to be able to do anything. And Roblox could make it so that you could only earn 100 develobucks per person a week. So if one guy earned you 100,you couldn't earn anymore from him for the rest of the week,and would have to rely on another guy,which would seriously delay spammers a bit from getting much.

Most things purchased with develobucks would be expensive.

Making a shirt would cost 10,000 DB.
Making a sound effect would cost 300 DB.
Making some other thing would cost alot of other money as well.
Buying a special developer hat in the catalog would cost 1,000 DB.
So things bought with DB would be very expensive.


I didn't think much through this or try to smooth out the edges on this idea,just a quick thought I'll probably regret in five minutes.

I like the idea and the fact you took into account the alt accounts, although everything being too expensive would be bad news for NBCers who don't have the money to advertise and grow their games

Yeah,but if they get lucky and get a lot of people playing their games then they could be able to afford all the stuff. Although BC would have a larger chance of getting attention to their games though.

I think this is to push people to make good games. People should stay for a least 2 minutes for the dev to get a single point.

That wouldn't be a very common occurrence. And since it can't really do much besides make a few shirts and sound effects,they probably wouldn't see it as worth it.

You could just use alts to farm this, so no. Anyways, why would they remove a long standing currency to add a new one?

Not really,if the person who did that is NBC they would be able to make about 10 shirts,and 10 sounds effects,buy like 5 hats,and be unable to do anything else whatsoever. Sure some people might buy some shirts,but the person wouldn't gain much in the slightest.

The NBC could still get rich from this currency, if (s)he was smart enough to farm it with VPNs and virtural computers. Therefore allowing the NBC to do at least some things with it. Roblox right now however is trying to force NBCs to buy BC right now. Roblox will keep getting greedier and greedier if NBCs find out a way to have at least some rights.

And this idea was in no way designed to help out BC or OBC members. It's for NBC members who want to be able to add some nice little sound effects and maybe have a cool shirt design out there. A BC member would gain nothing from this since they can already afford to do everything this currency is designed to do. And ALT farming for a regular person would take WAY too long,since it takes hours just to make a 100 develobucks,and you need thousands for most things.

Getting rich from this wouldn't be that big of a deal,since it can barely do anything. It's designed simply to give an NBC member enough reward to want to make a good game,not buy everything.

Maybe then add a motion detector so that they have to be MOVING for the dev to get the points?

I think that this new currency should be called "Visits."

Support,
But should be named to DevBucks or DEVBucks, shortened to DEVB, or DB.

I didn't really think much about this idea,just kinda threw it together. DevBucks or Visits is a way better name.

Visits was a joke they were making, Visits is already implemented, good idea though, but DevBux sounds epic. :D

I was wondering a bit why they said Visits,kinda assumed they meant to turn the Visits counter into a profit counter.

They could just come up with a different manner of checking. Maybe occasionally a little bubble popping up asking to show that you're playing? (It's a terrible idea,but still an idea.). And they wouldn't gain much from ALT spamming anyway.
