Damn. You’re one of the actual true innovators here! Roblox should maybe one day do a spotlight about you and other true AI innovators.
A crazy idea would be to get Jensen Huang at the next RDC to give a speech about AI and its future on roblox!

As much as we like to think so, AI cant do fun, all it can do is trends, and most of the time thats boring.
Who here wants another soulless company?
Im not sure if you were serious about this though lol
realest thing here lol

This is false. ChatGPT can actually generate some pretty fun and unique concepts for things, for example attacks and spells. I don’t peraonally seem to like most of the game concepts it’s generated but it has given some really good ones that alot of people would play.
The best part is, the AI won’t give you generic simulator games when you ask for ideas.

Roblox doesn’t sell the same technology every year with 8gb of VRAM at a 200% price markup, so, I don’t think he’d like talking here (unless ROBLOX integrate AI everywhere, even in the home screen)
Very true they don’t. They only claim technology from 20 years ago is actually new technology.

Why is this getting any praise? Make a post about the other billion simulators on Roblox. You aren’t presenting anything original.
The bar must be very low in order to publish an ordinary simulator. I wonder what kind of projects they reject…
This post only “aspires” more people to create more simulator games…

Obviously it can’t innovate but it can iterate and in this case. Roblox’s built in AI created a game where you run around towers that exploding as you fall through layers.

Well I guess it depends how much of the game is AI.
If you take inspiration from the AI, Im totally fine by that, but when its just AI creating a whole game me no like lol.
I think my main argument was on the
To be honest, this may in fact be the future of the platform, but I really hope it isnt lol.
AI is basically just plagiarizing peoples work in most cases, of which I hate, cause like I dont think I need to tell you why thats bad.
Wait guys I think I understand how boomers feel when they talk about how everything was harder in their day 
I worded my first message horribly gonna be real.
After my first post managed to ratio the spotlight itself, I decided to try more games by The Gang. I’m not gonna write a whole essay (oh. my. gosh. might be the first time I accused a developer of actually botting (or creating fake) players) so here are just some fun observations and “reviews”
Some of these are not meant to be taken seriously. You can tell which ones are.
Alternate Title: I played these games so you don’t have to (since the gang was a part of the spotlight as a whole)
My Bakery (awfully similar to my restaurant pal)
-
let me experience the game first???
-
this is not allowed
in fact, it’s advertized in front of EVERY bakery and the first thing you see upon joining -
nitpick, but a holding animation would be more immersive
-
why are they dropping money on the floor? (at least the counter or the table… but the floor?) just let me collect them automatically at this point. (surprising, but this is not a gamepass)
-
hooray! i got to experience 5 minutes of the game before being asked if I would consider it one of my favorite games (and grant access to notifications)
-
trash next to the trash that cannot be put into the trash. In-fact, there is trash next to EVERY trash bin. Including the two trash bins unneccecarily put right next to eachother.
-
what does this guy even do (seriously, he does literally NOTHING but look at you)
everyone drops the money on the floor so he cannot be working the register, and I have to serve people manually so he obviously cannot be doing that. He just sorta sits here and stares at me. -
if there is trash on every table the customers just sorta sit here and tpose
for reference, here are the actions they can take
a. leave the damn bakery
b. pay, take the meal right in front of you, and leave the damn bakery
c. pay, take the meal right in front of you, eat standing up, and leave the damn bakery
d. clean the table yourself, sit down, pay, eat your meal, and leave the damn bakery -
why is this area even locked off and why is there a duplicate trash bin there? (which is just symmetrical to the side but rotated)
shouldn’t the restaurant just start small and let you buy areas and expand later rather than… have the space unlocked yet unusable and undecorated?? we can obviously do something with this area if we’ve placed trash bins there?? -
congrats, I got a worker! the game is now an AFK game. Matter of fact, why should I EVER upgrade my own stats instead of the worker’s stats when they indirectly boost my OWN profits??? ESPECIALLY WHEN I CAN HAVE MULTIPLE WORKERS. Or at least I’m assuming that’s what profit upgrades for workers do because It doesn’t seem like the worker is making anything else.
-
the worker ALWAYS prioritizes the trash bin on the right rather than the one… right next to him. You should add the ability to fire people.
-
workers have holding animations when first interacting with and walking with an item. Why don’t I?
-
man sits “in” chair, literally
-
Everybody eats exactly half of the cookie and leaves. Why not just eat the whole thing and leave the tray with crumbs or something? Oh… wait… they do… When you pick the trash up. Did I eat the half-eaten cookies? Where did they go?
-
The answer to the last question? My customers spawn a tray of crumbs out of nowhere, throw it onto the table, and clip it with the tray of half eaten cookies.
-
multiple things to say about this
- this implies the bakery has been open for at least a month
- at the start of the game you are the only employee
- this means you gave yourself this title
- at this point in the game, the first worker I bought did more than I have, why am I the employee of the month???
- so there are people in charge of me
- then why does the worker I hired not get the title? I’m literally just standing…
- wait… who is this
- That isn’t builderman…
- seriously who is this
I’ve spent way longer in this game than I should’ve and my head hurts due to the oversaturated colors so I can’t really play it any longer. This makes me appreciate the default saturation of Fisch.
Escape Pirate Cove
-
Ok ok, hear me out, nice animation and models! You get one big boom.
-
Interacting with any of these seemingly does absolutely nothing.
-
This guy can be walking straight towards the wall and do a complete 180 saying “Arrgh I see ya” (yes he says it every time)
The second I walk into this pocket he just… lets me go again.
-
Wow, a tool! I sureee hope this will not let me glitch anywhere. Also, I had to replay the whole game up to this point JUST to see how I got the pickaxe.
-
Conveniently placed rocks directly after I get the pickaxe.
-
Are you really trying to tell me I can’t jump through here?
-
We were just in an abandoned cave two seconds ago which was the reason for all the random rocks, why are we in a volcano with a fully operational pulley? Are you really telling me the skeletons we saw before were too stupid to escape from this place themselves (and break the rocks for us, saving us time). Don’t you DARE tell me a battle was fought there or something because how would the victors escape themselves? People were obviously down here due to the structures so it isn’t like they’re throwing already dead people down there.
Whoops. I’m overthinking. -
Did somebody really die to this? Or is this just intentional design from the person who made this trap. If you answered #1 to this, who took up the body and wouldn’t that mean we can fall in-between the spikes to escape?
-
Using a pickaxe to destroy oversized barrels that are low enough to climb on top of.
-
“I… Killed… Mufasa…” no seriously how’d he die (especially with his head facing him)
-
WHO would leave this here? Is this door meant to keep people OUT? Why don’t we just… break it with our pickaxe?
-
WHAT TOOK THE PICKAXE (yes this appeared when entering that door)
-
Who would put a maze behind a door? (with an obvious solution) Why not just… bring the key when you lock it to prevent people from escaping?
-
What determines if a skeleton is sentient? Does everyone get a second life?
-
reminds me of something
-
TOOLS? WE CAN USE? TO BREAK STUFF??? oh wait I guess they’re too heavy to pick up
-
always wondered where these things come from. are the skeletons that these guys “hired” throwing them down or something?
-
multiply the last thing I said by 4, because there is nothing connected to these
behind the rock things -
A bit late but the thumbnail doesn’t really match a lot of the game so far… Atleast the chest part is accurate but what is the key for??
I’ll probably update later, I can only play this for so long.
Zombie Tag
Return to zero.
-
Real people actually playing this is a good sign!!.. Wait… Yeah, I’ll be talking about this one a lot later.
-
Triple not allowed! It’s X now, this game updated 2 weeks ago.
-
I’ll save you the time, this game is just Piggy with zombies, not much to say.
Animal Tycoon
-
Not allowed 3 (advert for steam)
-
Monetizing the update log. I hate this trend.
-
Not allowed 4 (whoever made the circle off-center should be banned)
-
Not allowed 5
-
This counts double for being on my screen. Not allowed 6.
-
External websites appear in front of every plot. Double the not allowed by 2 for every server. Same for My Bakery.
-
Cue the intro
-
And make it double (they prompted me again before this but I didn’t screenshot it)
-
It prompted me again… Sir HDFrisk, if you didn’t get the memo, no means no, don’t ask until somebody says yes… THEY WON’T!
Keep in mind that I’m not done fully playing these, will probably add more as I see more things. All that being said, I’m noticing a connection between some of these games and other well-known games. 
For example:
My Bakery = My Restaurant
Escape Pirate Cove = Barry’s Prison Run
Zombie Tag = Piggy + The general concept of freeze tag
Baby Evil = Piggy again
I think taking HEAVY inspiration (ok the pirate game is literally the same thing) from other concepts is harming the developer ecosystem and making people feel like it’s ok to lower the standards of what they can create. This leads to the all too common “It’s Roblox, devs leech off of popular ideas. (or the more common variant, devs copy off of each other)” argument, which using said argument further validates people doing this.
Also saying the same for prompting favorites and notifications the second somebody enters the game. Let people experience your game and favorite it if they want to. The most you should be doing is maybe putting up a sign that says “Favorite our game if you want to be notified of updates!” with a button that prompts them. I find this system stupid as nobody can even see favorites. Does this affect you in the algorithm??? I hope not.
The problem is that this is what Roblox staff are MANUALLY PROMOTING, to both their players AND OTHER DEVELOPERS, as seen through this spotlight. They actively WANT developers to copy each other and produce the same games with different themes.
Also, I’m not one to throw this around but the leaderboards in Zombie Tag are a little bit suspicious, there are multiple reoccurring players and avatars, and even usernames? Would people really make alts to get another 1923939209 tags in your game, instead of just doing it on a singular account? These are either bots or developer accounts, and I’m gonna hope that they’re developer accounts. You have a bit of explaining about that leaderboard
What are the chances of FOUR players on the same leaderboard having the same non-default avatar INCLUDING skin-tone and ALL being high-ranking?
Oh boy. After 1 hour of Paul1Rb’s (@isPauI hello) video releasing I figured out they have other games, including a spin off to… strongman simulator. How fun! They also have MORE PAGES of experiences on their group. Almost all copies of other games unfortunately.
P R E P A R E
Yes I will unfortunately be playing these.

On the side note, somebody in my comments also pointed out FOAM Strike, which is a game that The Gang has apparently made - but it’s owned by a different group.
It seems to be a step-back from all the simulator stuff, and you might want to check it out as well.
(Also, just saying that the camera effect in that game was giving me a headache)
