Hey everyone!
I worked really hard on a game called “Players vs Noobs”, but unfortunately, it didn’t get the popularity it truly deserved.
Now I’m asking:
How can I get my game on the Roblox front page without spending Robux?
I live in a country where the economy is weak, and I can’t afford to buy Robux.
Is anyone here a YouTuber or an influencer?
I’m ready to work with you! You promote my game, and in return, I’ll develop a custom game for you — totally fair trade!
I’m open to teamwork, collaborations, or anything creative.
Let’s grow together!
Roblox mostly recommends your game based on how much Robux it makes per average player. Mostly just simple economics that Roblox will recommend a player the games they are most likely to buy something in.
While Roblox is great for just the host itself and its tools, both Roblox and developers have a common interest, and Roblox will do your advertising for you if you do it right.
(you need players to first spend in your game so Roblox knows how profitable it is before it starts recommending it though, so you still need a starting user base.)
You could try social media, but apart from that, there’s not much you can do.
You only need $20 to sponsor your game, get some concurrent users and have a chance to be recommended by Roblox. Are you sure you can’t spend that amount or even take some time to do commissions and save up some money / Robux (which is free)?
what did this last part exactly mean. Like, yeah, when you do work you get paid, but it’s a trade of a service (your time, effort, and skills) for money. Like I get what you’re saying but the logic would mean that everything is free lmao.
I mean, technically it is free money-wise, but of course, it costs time, like everything else in this world. I mentioned this because OP said they live in a country with a weak economy so this might be their best approach.
Writing a list do not mean it is ChatGPT, you know…
Let’s say that to community ressource developers
Listing features is usefull, it make the post more readable and cleaner for everyone. At least it’s better than huge paragraphs.
Yes, I really wanted others to enjoy reading this, and my native language is not English, so I wanted it to be written in a way that was easy to understand and with emojis, even if there was a problem with my English.
I see, if you remove the emojis it says its AI, but if they stay it doesn’t think it’s AI. probably because emojis show up when pasted as like :pray: and whatnot and it isn’t trained on that.
Yeah, whoops, sorry.
Yeah, but I don’t have any hope for this because it’s hard to get an international card and my 6-day salary of $20 is at best, and the time I spend on “pls donate” and these games would be better spent on developing my game or finding a YouTuber.
Though now outdated, I made a resource on My Research on the Roblox Algorithm & Discovery for Experiences/Games. It includes a Works Cited section with primary sources. Unfortunately, some pages have been updated or redirect you elsewhere. I should’ve figured out how to archive them. Anywho, still the info generally can be helpful.
Game Dev Knowledge & Skill
You can also further your knowledge in game development to make higher-quality products/games. I have a playlist of videos I’ve found helpful in gamedev, in multiple disciplines, over my 5 years in game dev: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnd33tzRlu1HPQlCmaKmcQqbgLMdwbuYO
Digital Marketing & Game Trailers
Learn digital marketing, literally, how you advertise. That, in addition to a focus on marketing in video games specifically.
Trailers are a big thing. Note that on Roblox, you have to pay robux to upload a trailer for your game page, in addition to many restrictions, like only being 30 seconds.
