So over the last month I have been working on a remake of the game Simon Says by Robredeyes2, a good friend of mine. I have nearly completed it and am planning to release it sometime this weekend. The game is fully functioning with some creative themes, it has a fully working shop and inventory system for pets,hats,and particles. There are over 100+ shop items plus plenty of game passes to make some profit at the end. If you would like to try out the game here it is:
https://www.roblox.com/games/502165761/Simon

What I am here to ask is this, if you see the potential in this game and are willing to give me your trust. I am asking for an investment for Advertisement. This is not me begging, I have about 10k for an AD but in case someone wants to help out you can. By investing a certain amount, I will pay you back that amount + 10-50% depending on the amount. I will be paying them back if the game makes the profit, however if the game fails then the payment will be canceled, why? Because I made no profit meaning I lost all my money as well. This is a risk you will have to take, if you think I will scam you this forum thread is not for you, this is for someone who ##### the potential in the game and is willing to give me their trust.

-Thank you. <3

It won't profit, good games doesn't profit anymore, but if it comes on front page it might, but you need good investor to get to front page, when is say good i mean rich.

nonono, that's not how it works sarc.

first off, there are LOADS of good quality games on the front page. to name a few:

https://www.roblox.com/games/292439477/Phantom-Forces-Beta
https://www.roblox.com/games/13822889/Lumber-Tycoon-2
https://www.roblox.com/games/142823291/Murder-Mystery-2
https://www.roblox.com/games/155615604/Prison-Life-v2-0
https://www.roblox.com/games/404729070/TreeLands-Beta
https://www.roblox.com/games/306964494/Halloween-Route-11-Pok-mon-Brick-Bronze
https://www.roblox.com/games/30869879/Stop-it-Slender-2
https://www.roblox.com/games/185655149/Welcome-to-Bloxburg-BETA

and even more after those.

if your game doesn't get to front page, you have no right to complain about it. it is entirely up to you to get it there. learn what the roblox community like and work around that.

also @OP, i think this could work but it'd have to be a lot better than the current simon says. not sure how well remakes do if there's already a popular version, but if it's much better i don't see how it can't do good.

good luck!

@Deaf, well look who's trying to act smart..

That's the 2012 logic my friend, we are in 2016 now if you didn't notice.

Those people for the games you linked were already famous, rich, and had money to place it on front page even with projected loss. And that's the one thing i mentioned about front paging. You have to be famous.

^ I honestly would call you a dirtbag if it wasnt the truth,but it is,I mean you could do some sponsering,and if you have really good content you can get noticed,but I would suggest you get a couple devs to check it out,talk to them,get them to respect you,and they might shoutout you game and tell their friends.

I think you are 'dirtbag', didn't your parents tell you to respect other's opinion ? I guess they didn't. No need for being mean, it just shows who you are.

Also if you think that's possible, go on i salute you it you do it, knowing it's impossible and i have tried many times on many ways.

@Deaf

lumber tycoon is not front page
prison life is garbage
paid access games don't really count as front page since they don't have lots of players
and obviously paid access games are gonna be decent since you have to pay to play them

stop it slender is OK but not great


also on the front page is super hero tycoon which is more garbage than prison life

so game quality only has a weak correlation between game success

ok er,

lumber tycoon IS frontpage
prison life is actually decent quality and i've found it pretty fun
the idea of "front page" has changed. if it's on the front page, it's on the front page. it means it's the top of something, so it is usually decent quality.
stop it slender is still well made and pretty good fun imo

i don't think you guys are realising that the front page is so much better than it was last year, or a few years ago. YOU are using 2012 logic. not me. if you actually try to make a good game and get a little following for it, i'm sure it'll be more successful than a bad one.

and what was that stupid remark about you "having to be famous" to get on the front page? like what? seriously? okay, how about these people:

Aesthetical (prison life)
wish_z ( Project: pokemon )
Nikilis
loleris
Den_S (theme park tycoon 2)

How were these people famous before their front page game? I could go on, but you can see for yourself. They are famous BECAUSE of their front page game/s.

If you have some money, it'll be a lot easier to advertise your game of course, but I've found you can easily raise a decent amount of money to advertise your game by making a good quality one and creating a community. It's not all about being famous or rich. Sure, there's some correlation between it because being rich will of course help, but it's still possible for people to get a good game to the front page. Try to see it my way.

What a lot of these "newer" developers don't know, is that most of these clickbait tycoons and such, either lose popularity or even get shutdown by roblox (There is a way of farming players, even with no tix anymore).

The simon says idea, is just too basic for the front page, not a lot of "content" in there.

Front page isn't everything, it's a great achievement to get 10 people constantly playing your game, since you know you have a fan base. It's like real life game developing, you either strike gold, or a create a catastrophe. As a developer for three years, I will say that you should dig around and research the currents trends.

Well when I visited your place, no one was there so I couldn't tell what the gameplay was like.

My opinion:

You need to use your own assets if you're planning to cash out with this game. You're using nintendo related sprites and the such. Make sure your music is royalty free. The GUI design isn't anything special that I've seen yet.

I would use my own to be safe. But google will probably give you a definitive answer.

Most of the games on front page (excluding phantom forces and apoc rising) are pretty crap games they just manage to get famous for a while then people play it just because it famous. So crappy games that are good ideas but poorly made rise to the top. For example roblox high school is a terrible game full of free models and has almost no scripting and no effort put into it. Yet it's been a very popular game for years. If you had a HORRIFIC game but it was in stylis studios games, people would still play it. What you gotta realize is that a large majority of roblox players are 11 and under and play really stupid games because well made games are confusing that's why prison life and roblox high school have been more popular than phantom forces for a long time, even though PF is probably the best made game on roblox, its just harder and is more for older kids, the minority.
