LETS. DO. THIS!!! ------------------------- Mihnealihnea | 2025-01-17 22:32:38 UTC | #28 Well lads and gals, I'm throwing my hat in the ring; so I'm looking to gather a team. I am a modeller and a scripter with a decent amount of experience in both. You can find some of my previous work (mostly on the modelling side) over on my TalentHub portfolio. ( https://create.roblox.com/talent/creators/72813032 ) I am able to fulfill most roles needed for a gamejam entry, so I am not looking for any one particular talent, anyone interested is welcome to hit me up. (Either here, or on Discord over at _mihnea ) ------------------------- Aliensights_17 | 2025-01-17 22:42:39 UTC | #29 That is a cool challenge I will just see the games after ! Because I not build great yet . ------------------------- AamTum | 2025-01-17 22:49:36 UTC | #30 Ayooo cool another Jamming, lemme get my toast ready so I could put my jam on it Looking for a team open as Animator, portfolio are on my Devforum profile ------------------------- TimeFrenzied | 2025-01-17 23:05:59 UTC | #31 RDC25 already?

Another year here and haven’t gotten better :+1: so I’m just saying that I’m still an amateur. (dm here but I might take a while to respond, but ima be back online around when the challenge starts) ------------------------- Sxqda | 2025-01-17 23:30:00 UTC | #36 [quote="Gu4rana, post:1, topic:3389448, full:true, username:Gu4rana"] Yes, all valid submissions will be eligible for the DevRel prizes series, both participants and winners. [/quote] For clarification, Is this saying that no matter the spot you win, you receive both items? ------------------------- PowFPS1 | 2025-01-18 00:03:12 UTC | #37 I wouldn't complain; they are generous enough to give the winning team a $1,500 GoGift Global Gift Card that can be used almost anywhere. That is very kind of them, and they certainly don’t have to do it, but they choose to. ------------------------- shadowflame63 | 2025-01-18 00:14:41 UTC | #38 I'm considering joining up with @polishedmeat if we can form a team of 4-5, so if you're looking for a team make sure to contact them! ------------------------- TimeFrenzied | 2025-01-18 00:34:54 UTC | #39 Nah, it's a (bad in hindsight) joke because they're calling it Roblox Developer Challenge ------------------------- MarineMike826 | 2025-01-18 02:53:36 UTC | #40 Because there are other countries other than America lol and they can't send cash in the mail, so you would need to send them your bank account details which is risky. Gift cards are just a much simpler process and work everywhere, it's most likely a visa/mastercard type so that you can use them anywhere. ------------------------- MarineMike826 | 2025-01-18 01:01:04 UTC | #41 I'm still waiting for my Swag Bag and Tilt Trophies and Developer Longsword that I earned years ago, and I'm supposed to believe you're actually going to send out prizes for the winners of this? LOL NO THANK YOU!!! https://devforum.roblox.com/t/developer-awards-phase-3-tilt-trophies/1205870 ------------------------- agentphilip07 | 2025-01-18 01:05:26 UTC | #42 Nice! This is very exciting! Roblox Developer Challenges are great! ------------------------- iGottic | 2025-01-18 01:27:29 UTC | #43 Last year voting was a nightmare because it was just thousands of links that people were expected to just filter through, with bigger voices advertising their games to their communities. Will this method of voting be done again? If so, I'm discouraged from recommending this challenge to anybody. ------------------------- Capoyoace | 2025-01-18 01:32:47 UTC | #44 I’m guessing a racing theme? [spoiler]Not enough characters hwhjhejanrishwbkah dusbdjvf diehe fn sinfn[/spoiler] ------------------------- UberQuest | 2025-01-18 02:45:55 UTC | #45 Out of curiosity, if a solo dev wins, do they also win the other 3 or 4 gift cards? Or do they just win a gift card with $7,500 equivalent? Or do they just win $1,500 gift card for doing the work of 4 or 5 devs? I'm looking to join a team if anyone's looking for members. ------------------------- CodinGlitch | 2025-01-18 02:52:51 UTC | #46 at least for this challenge, nothing in the terms of participation mentions anything about community voting (winners are chosen through the anonymous judging panel), so hopefully the idea was scrapped either way, even if it wasn't, i think it's a good idea for anyone even remotely capable of making a submission to join the challenge, since it's a good way to practice, connect with others, and create something in a new challenging environment ------------------------- PiercedMissile | 2025-01-18 03:36:58 UTC | #47 YES! I can't wait! I am looking for a team this year, I can do a small bit of everything, but I'm best at scripting. DM me if you need me for your team. These are my entries that I made the last 2 years. Made by myself and by @scanningtool https://www.roblox.com/games/12813038547/Trial-Mountain Made by myself https://www.roblox.com/games/16127537343/Trial-Mountain-Part-2 ------------------------- RegulatedDev | 2025-01-18 03:38:41 UTC | #48 because respectfully nobody uses it over discord :upside_down_face: ------------------------- Danila_1608 | 2025-01-18 03:44:19 UTC | #49 I have one question: should the experience be created in the name of one of the team members, or can it be in the name of a community owned by one of the team members? ------------------------- Cafedrez | 2025-01-18 03:50:20 UTC | #50 Good luck everyone! Can't wait to see all of your creations! :sun_with_face: Cafedrez ------------------------- UberQuest | 2025-01-18 04:12:44 UTC | #51 You would think Roblox would try encourage people to use it by leading by example though. ------------------------- JuanGamerPlayz_RBLX | 2025-01-18 04:46:03 UTC | #52 Hey there! We are looking for someone who can help us in making UI/UX for this challenge! We have one spot left! If you want to join, send me your portfolio in my Discord “juangamerplayz”! Thanks ------------------------- TimeFrenzied | 2025-01-18 04:50:55 UTC | #53 [quote="UberQuest, post:51, topic:3389448, full:true, username:UberQuest"] You would think Roblox would try encourage people to use it by leading by example though. [/quote] Roblox has different teams iirc For example, Roblox won't want exploiters banned (so they can still be used as statistics), but whoever is behind the anti-tamper does. What's probably happening here is that even Roblox staff themselves know guilded is inferior. They really don't care about the amount of people using guilded because that's just not what their job is. ------------------------- UberQuest | 2025-01-18 05:00:14 UTC | #54 Yeah they have different teams. That's most likely the case. Makes no difference to me either way lol. Nobody wants to use Guilded... ᴺᵒᵗ ᵉᵛᵉⁿ ᴿᵒᵇˡᵒˣ ᵗʰᵉᵐˢᵉˡᵛᵉˢ. ------------------------- Sindious | 2025-01-18 08:12:14 UTC | #55 Contact support or something, they might help you ------------------------- MarineMike826 | 2025-01-18 08:13:23 UTC | #56 lol brother it's been years you don't think I've tried them? multiple times? Never have been of any help, per usual. ------------------------- WorldyBear_22 | 2025-01-18 08:47:19 UTC | #57 I mean do they even want robux? Maybe they are saving for a new PC? ------------------------- WiseMatheu | 2025-01-18 09:14:27 UTC | #58 Everyone who participates receives one item from the DevRel prize series (the next one), but if you win, you get the $1500 gift card and I think an extra winners item? ------------------------- Arylist | 2025-01-18 10:28:50 UTC | #59 Me and my boy @Noirgami will be participating. ------------------------- Rubin541 | 2025-01-18 11:01:38 UTC | #60 I don't know if I will have the time to take part.

Gift cards are sent to each team member separately. ------------------------- Gu4rana | 2025-01-18 17:40:47 UTC | #69 You can create in a profile or a group, don't worry! Just make sure to include all team members in the submission survey ------------------------- Gu4rana | 2025-01-18 17:43:13 UTC | #70 Thanks for pointing out! Fixed :smile: ------------------------- UberQuest | 2025-01-18 17:44:18 UTC | #71 Cool cool, thanks for clarifying. ------------------------- TimeFrenzied | 2025-01-18 17:57:42 UTC | #72 Technically this means if you want to maximize profit (or just not waste free money) you have to list at least 4 other team members that contributed nothing. ------------------------- GamEditoPro | 2025-01-18 17:58:51 UTC | #73 Technically, you can even do 4 alts. ------------------------- UberQuest | 2025-01-18 17:59:23 UTC | #74 I was just now wondering though, whoever is judging probably takes into account the amount of devs to work on a project. So if you're a solo dev, and you can't possibly put in the same amount of time as 5 devs, I'd hope they take that into account lol. ------------------------- TimeFrenzied | 2025-01-18 18:01:48 UTC | #75 Something diabolical is brewing in the malevolent kitchen..... [quote="UberQuest, post:74, topic:3389448, username:UberQuest"] whoever is judging probably takes into account the amount of devs to work on a project. So if you’re a solo dev, and you can’t possibly put in the same amount of time as 5 devs, I’d hope they take that into account lol. [/quote] I seriously doubt this TBH. They'll judge based on which game is best, which is still gonna be hard even with the prompt since it's entirely subjective. ------------------------- UberQuest | 2025-01-18 18:03:08 UTC | #76 Really? Comp seems corrupt/unfair if that's the case. I suppose that's why they recommend working as a team. ------------------------- TimeFrenzied | 2025-01-18 18:03:32 UTC | #77 [quote="UberQuest, post:76, topic:3389448, full:true, username:UberQuest"] Really? Comp seems corrupt/unfair if that’s the case. [/quote] I wouldn't know, but honestly I hope games are judged based on quality regardless of the amount of people. It would still be pretty unfair if a team of 5 people recreated skyrim or something and got less "points" because they had 5 people. ------------------------- PlatformRob | 2025-01-18 18:03:37 UTC | #78 Looks like I don't have time for this ------------------------- UberQuest | 2025-01-18 18:04:48 UTC | #79 Funny you mention Skyrim, cos I was literally thinking of tryna recreate something like Oblivion lol. ------------------------- GamEditoPro | 2025-01-18 19:34:34 UTC | #80 That's true, but I think team size needs to be taken in consideration too. Like, if both games are good, but one has just bigger map, then this should become dilemma. But not if game A which made solo is 5 times worse than game B made in team. ------------------------- Gu4rana | 2025-01-18 20:56:57 UTC | #81 Thank you for the tip!
