So, heres a example of a script what will turn on a light when you press a button.
1 activate light when pressed (button)
2 close light when pressed (button)
Then it will automatically change as real script. This could be a good way for NBCs because people will buy gamepasses and game money.

There is a good reason why they chose Lua: it's fast, small and easy to learn while still being a powerful language. It's your problem that you are to lazy to learn it. If you think that it's too complicated, take a look at C++, or even worse Fortran and Ada.

Exactly, little kidies whining that they don't want to learn. Nor did I want to learn Ancient Greek or Latin in my first 2 high school years, but I had to and I'm still alive.

What? Roblox Lua is already so much simplified that even an 8 year old could learn it. It's not like you beed to use cosinuses, sinuses and tangents to calculate the direction of a vector, you just use Vector3 and CFrame.

"NBCs" okay so all BCers know how to script

and let's talk about the 90% tax for NBC and how you only earn 10% of what you actually sold

sorry, posted before i was finished -

NBCers can easily learn how to script, and can easily make a front page game if they desired to do so, however, they only earn 10% of what they actually sold.

ROBLOX wants to make the game free, but they also want to sell their product. Precisely the same as your game, you're allowing everyone to play on your game, but you're giving extra features to people who can pay. There isn't anything wrong with that, but I'm just saying you'll have a harder time making profits early on due to ROBLOX removing tickets, which were oddly enough, a big part of income for NBCers from their games.

But, ROBLOX had every right to remove tickets because they were becoming obsolete, so you really wouldn't make a whole lot off of those tickets, but it would still contribute to what you entirely made in full.

Scripting is something that everyone can learn, and it's highly encouraged that you do so. If it's simplified to simply "on press make light come on", there isn't any effort.

The truly exciting part of making a game is making the game. You'll face many obstacles and challenges during development, you'll see that something you wanted can't be easily done, you go and research as much as you can so you can have that feature in your game.

That's what I enjoy about development here on ROBLOX, because it's already as easy as it should be. Any further and you'd just have poorly made games because of how dumbed down everything is.

The reason why I'm saying all of this is because being NBC and BC is irrelevant - game development is entirely the same. The only different is actually getting popular. With BC, you have daily income which you can use to help fund your game. NBC have a harder time at gaining popularity, but there are many ways that NBCers have gained popularity without spending a cent on ROBLOX.

You shouldn't be saying that making scripting stupid on here will make it easier for NBCers, because game development is the same for everyone.

i probably said way too much and probably went into a mini-rant

oh well
