Unless you do, or have, in which case I'm sorry for assuming you're as lazy as I am.

Can we just merge into one motivated person and straight up $dominate$ the Games page already?

Because, like, helping people is fun but I'm not getting paid for it.

Which means I can't do it for much longer.

Which sucks.

sure anyone on here is qualified to code a front page game but there's a lot to it other than that

you need to be able to finish projects, stay disciplined and on time, not procrastinate, be mildly creative, and get things done.

a lot of people here just aren't interested in it, they just like helping people

just make something for someone else and get money if you don't want to make your own game from scratch

Oh pshaww that's not sustainable.
It's gotta be original, and mine.

By the way I'm curious but never wanted to ask, are you an alt?

Helping people is noble, don't get me wrong, but I'd dare to say that anyone who's making $0.00 would be more content owning a front page game than not.

nope this is my main account :) my only alt is astranited

though i have been around for quite some time

if you want it to be original some people you work with will give you a lot of creative freedom

otherwise the best advice i can give is to sit down, pick a project, and finish it. if it takes you more than a few days to script your first game, you're doing it wrong.

a lot of people get hung up on making decisions. it wastes time. i just make the decision, even if it may not be the best one, and continue.

Oh for sure.
Yeah I'm not a total stranger to gamemaking or anything, definitely know what it takes, just gotta want it bad enough or find someone who wants it bad enough with me.

Soybeen, I'm a scripter with reasonable skills. I want to co-operate with you into making a game. Friend me, I'll show you some examples of my work.

nice to see my name on that list, but yeah. I'm not motivated enough, also the front page is pretty dominated by clickbait, and oder games. sometime i hope though, i will have an idea that will keep me motivated.


I like cake.

I think most of us on here just aren't good at the non-scripting parts. We would average a much higher knowledge of Lua than the average game maker but after a certain (surprisingly early) point it just doesn't matter.

@boo
The player cares about fun.
We care about the scripts behind it.
But that doesn't matter for the player.

+ even if you make a game you perceive as front-page worthy, remember it probably won't get a tenth of the players you expected it to due to competition and failing user retention

actually, nobody on this list can make a frontpage game. ROBLOX has changed. anybody who has a creative mentality and a skill at scripting also probably has a need to make something original and unique, and those types of games don't get popular.

the frontpage games are the ones that are DESIGNED to be motioned, the kind that are spin-offs of certain formulas. especially the ones that favor making ROBLOX money with a lot of micro-transactions.

it's kind of similar to their whole new"developer" label and "RBXDev" thing - it's not actually developers, it's people who know how to make the most money, and the frontpage games reflect that.

I really want to make it to that list! I always try my hardest everyday to give solutions to questions on the forum and I am 90% of the time correct.

front-page games are made by _actual_ developers
are they "quality" games? the majority is not, that however doesn't mean they're bad games as people obviously like playing them or otherwise they wouldn't stay at the top

the front-page reflects what the majority of ROBLOX players enjoy (when it comes to games so exclude groups, trading etc).

ROBLOX wants to support the developers who push the platform to its limits but I feel like it's a bit too late without a big reform. they're a business aiming for maximum profit and in its current state it seems to be doing great, so whatever that reform should be, I don't know if it'd be worth it or not.

I'm building a game called Geometry Wars where you are a little gem and it follows the player's mouse. I'm off to a great start tho and all I need to do is set up the rounds,UI and AIs for single player.
