| Games are more about marketing and representation than scripting. |

the ^ was directed at sirtipsalot but yeah marketing and "representation" aka connecting with your community and doing well socially is important and not a lot of people here or anywhere can do that

| It's super hard for games not made by the likes of loleris and berezaa to get populat. You can blame the broken front page for that. |

| While I primarily work on demos/other random projects like most scripters here, I also have made quite a few games and the main reason they aren't popular is money. Unless I am willing to buy a large amount of robux to advertise, I have no way to get people to play the game. |

| For me, I'm not really all that interested in game design. Also I kinda just like programming when I'm in the mood, not all the time. There's also the fact that I almost never complete my projects. |

A lot of people here are still learning. I doubt anyone here really wants to create a game with Roblox's platform anyways. I know in the past it was my only tool, but I am developing from the Gameboy Advanced, PC (OpenGL), and soon, the PSP and PS1.
I agree with 'Roblox is all marketing and sales' aspect. There is also flipping your cash to get rich. There is also doing artwork to get your cash. People pay for some scripts, too. Although, that never goes well. If the asker can't script then the game doesn't get created. There is a lot of aspect to game programming as it is.
Unless you are looking to cobble together some parts and some google images, I wouldn't worry about making a game. It is pointless on Roblox. Go learn how to program, preferably using C/C++/Java and OpenGL, and go make yourself a game. Go use Unity. Go do something other than Roblox.
I haven't entered a game in months. Just been foruming then quit a while ago. Checking back to see what has changed as nostalgia.
Wanna get started on programming? Go grab a Java book or find some good tutorial line on Youtube and learn Java. Then get really good at the principals. Then learn OpenGL the same way, preferably from a book. Then grab Blender, Photoshop, and have at it. |

| Just as a reminder here, you don't need money to advertise your game. If it's good quality then you can ask ROBLOX to stick it to the front page to help get it popular. Email them here: ######################## You can also tweet @ModNobleDragon on Twitter, he manages the majority of featured games. |

Well I'll be darned, thanks for that link. I highly doubt ROBLOX cares about any devs that aren't using devex though so I'm scared if I email them I won't get a response. Are there any games that have gotten players off of that? |

I got like 68 visits on a game I never advertised xD
Should I make my games that get a lot of visits active so I can get the homestead badge? Or is that just jammy?
