Are there going to be any changes to Game Discovery / the algorithm in the near future?
It feels very hard to find interesting and engaging games, most of the discovery page is plastered with games for much younger age groups which isn’t very encouraging if developers want to make more interesting and varied games for a wider range of ages.
Even with a lot of effort and hours of work on a game that would otherwise do well on a platform like steam, because it does not appeal to younger audiences or otherwise market itself with tons of cash, it will almost never pick up a consistent player base or otherwise be picked up by the algorithm.
It feels discouraging to make unique or different games when they will never be found or played by the majority of the player base.
(I am not referring to 17+ games, but just in general most games shown in the Game Discovery page are either shown multiple times, or are highly saturated and suited for a much younger audience.)
It doesn’t help there are no ways to search for games using genre or other metrics. Almost 9 times out of 10 if I find an interesting new game, its from an outside source or friend-group, because they are not promoted inside of Roblox itself.
