Recently I have made a game called Stay Up. It is an obby game and it seemed to gain some significant traction as I have gained 160 robux in revenue from donations, thats not with premium payouts as that will take some time and this is in one day pretty much, It released at 3-4pm yesterday and has been somewhat active throughout, I have had a number of people saying it was good and fun!
This leads to a question which I want answers for: “How popular are obby’s really’”
I think obbies are very popular among younger kids and new players, which make up a chunk of the roblox community. However, a lot of them are very not well designed, with free models and the title of the game has a million ESCAPE’s in it. Because a lot of obbies are poorly designed may be why they don’t appeal to all of the roblox players.
Obbies are also very repetitive, jumping over the same blocks again and again, and most of them don’t have a story behind them.
But if you spend time in your game and you take the time to t
hink “Will this game appeal to a big part of the roblox community”, your game might become successful.
I know I am late to this topic but. I think obby’s are popular. The reason why I think this is cause a good game that is executed and developed properly can grow really fast in popularity on Roblox. Also regarding your obby. I think you did good! I love simplistic styles and yours fits perfectly into that style. Keep up the good work! (I have 0 clue what obb’y style you were going for but it looks good regardless.)
There are lots of obbies out there that are popular out in Roblox. If you are trying to make an obby that people will visit, I’d recommend coming up with something original and creative but would make people want to come and play it again and again.
Not everyone will want to visit it some might like it and some might not like it so maybe try doing something everyone will like!
