I have a couple more questions if you’d be able to answer:
Could we have some more clarification regarding the positions we can fill in our team:
More specifically, who would be considered apart of the development team (People who are working daily on the game and receive a stipend)
Are there any specific constraints that an elevator pitch or description of game plans have?
People participating in the program should be working on the game full-time. If someone would not have 40 hours of work a week for 3 months, they would not be full-time, thus they should not be a participant for the program.
If someone doesn’t fall in said full-time bucket, this doesn’t mean you shouldn’t work with them! It just means we aren’t offering them a spot in the program.
For an elevator pitch, imagine you get in an Elevator with Builderman, CEO of Roblox. You have from Floor 1 to Floor 3 to get him interested in your game. In as few words as possible, you need to sell your game.
It is USD. Its sort of like a paid internship.
Question: Since “a builder and programmer must apply” requirement isn’t listed here as it’s always been, can we apply without a programmer and just outsource one?
Anyone who has tasks that must be completed for the game to ship and be functional must be a part of the program (typically a programmer and builder). Not including this was an oversight, and I will revise the OP.
I don’t know if this is allow, but I am looking for a team to join, here’s my portfolio if you’re interested, My Portfolio by: RED
Because there’s still no place to find others looking to joins teams, I’ll post this here.
I’m still looking for another team member! Specifically a 3D modeler. If you’re interested in joining my team, you can reach out to me Via the devforums, message me on twitter @thunder1222rblx, or add me on discord, Vincent#6575. Thank you!
So unlucky! I turn 18 in October, I’m so bummed out.
Next time. Is there going to be a next time, anyways?
Good luck to the applying people!
Don’t worry, only have to wait 6 years. Funny, don’t you think? Anyone can be a developer.
I honestly am dissappointed at how much ROBLOX focuses their program to the 18+ auidence.
Many developers are young, and they know alot and have fun scripting. It’s sad to ROBLOX focus most of their programs, accelerators and etc. to the 18+ auidence.
I would love to attend but can’t because of my age.
ROBLOX should focus their programs to the auidence that is also below 18 years of age.
Firstly, Roblox* not “ROBLOX”.
Secondly, Roblox by law cannot bring minors in; the accelerator program is a full time, multiple week program which emulates AAA game development, you just can’t replicate that in a program designed for children.
There’s legal reasons for it being an 18+ only program. For 1, it’s a full time work load (40 hours a week) which someone under 18 (ie still in school) cannot possibly find time to do. It’s also a paid internship. Be breaking all kinds of laws employing children.
Oh, right. My bad.
2nd:
I always spell “Roblox” with capital letters. It’s like my way of telling it’s me.
I’m unsure if I am allowed to ask this question, but would interviews be conducted with the whole team or just the team leader? Thanks.
Heya guys! If you’re looking for a team to join please consider mine! Check out my pitch here: [CLOSED] Programmer/Artist for Fall Accelerator Program Game!
Hope to work with you!
Hello all! My studio (Old Baron Inc) is looking for a new member to help fill out our team before we apply! My partner and I have been making games together for two years and have a ton of combined experience on the platform!
If you’re a coder who hasn’t found a team yet, maybe we’re right for you! [ CLOSED ] HIRING Programmer for Old Baron Inc!
Entire team would be interviewed at the call.
Hello, I had a few questions also,
Thank you very much for helping me, have a wonderful day!
We don’t include an “Exact Date” because we usually try and establish one/two that works for the most people. It’s looking like September 7/14 right now.
I would prefer you not plan on shuffling team members around. I understand things can happen (people can no longer participate, etc) but we want solid teams coming into the program, not fluid ones. Fluid usually means volatile.
We do not want to be the ones deciding what you work on. We want you to work on what you’re passionate about. You should come in with the game that you think this program would benefit the most.
We are quite new to Roblox development and are feverishly working on a new game. We are excited about our game and we think we can make it very successful. Our overall concept isn’t terribly unique (we are kind of surprised it doesn’t exist already), but we have a small idea or two we haven’t seen done before on Roblox. Of course we hope to participate in the Accelerator to help us succeed sooner.
As we are new and our game really only has a few proof of concept features implemented, and as there are clearly many talented, more experienced, and bigger development teams out there (building a bigger better Roblox world for all), we are trying to fly under the radar with our idea until we get bit further along. And it sounds like, Roblox gets applicants with similar games and Roblox sometimes selects a couple of those teams.
Not to be paranoid, but it would be good to know: “How confidential is our application and how far can elements of our elevator pitch and our nascent game demo travel?” Just within an internal Accelerator application review team? To Accelerator team advisors?, Outside the company?
Also, at what point in the process would we be expected to be more open to the dev world about what we are working on?
Thanks.
