I 100% agree with this. If I was a new player on the Roblox Platform this is 100% the best type of game to earn free and easy Robux.

lmbo what, donate plz games should be banned on Roblox as they are low-effort and clog up the front page of Roblox like hair in a drain.
I absolutely disagree

There is nothing wrong with jumping on a trend. This one isn’t against the rules, so it will not and should not be banned. If anything I would encourage jumping on them as you can always invest the funds generated by the game into a project you are passionate about. This topic is about how to make such a game, not a place to complain about how you don’t personally like the trend. (“you” in the general sense, there are several users complaining)

Who cares if they clog up the front page?
They are still a game, that a developer made.
Their are THOUSANDS AND HUNDREDS of click bait, cash games on Roblox and you are chosing please donate?

don’t see the part where they’re low effort, this stuff took the both of us days to code, i respect your opinion on this topic but this is a harsh way to respond especially under a tutorial thread imo

Can you leave a downloadable file of the game? It won’t let me open the Roblox Place.

figured id need to follow up on this;
fixed version is inside of his discord server and will be published to the main game soon
apologies for the proxy issues, the new one includes leaderboards and gamepasses
Though I support the concept of learning through real world examples, this crosses the line.
The issues with this sort of tutorial start with the title. Nobody who legitimately wants to learn will be looking up how to copy a game.
This isn’t a great way of teaching either. The explanations are very short only show how things apply to this specific use case. You’re not really explaining much. This makes it so anybody who isn’t simply trying to copy code is left with incomplete knowledge of what they’re working with or how to use these concepts.
If your intentions weren’t to create copies of a specific game, then why make a tutorial this way? Why make the title mention a specific game? If you wanted to teach people the same concepts used, you could’ve at least showed them in a different use case. Most resources for learning try to showcase general use cases and very basic code samples so people can put things together on their own.
minor points that aren't as important (click to show)
This is “what-about-ism” (google it). Also, a YT tutorial will generally be shown to an audience who mostly aren’t devs and won’t take as much issue with this. Devforum posts are shown to… developers. This may be a reason why it seems like there is less criticism for the same behavior.
Another small point: I also don’t see how the fact that people asked for it means that this isn’t just a guide to copying someone else’s work. Lots of people wanting to copy something does not mean that it is acceptable to copy it.
I should probably clarify that my goal isn’t to start an argument or to personally insult the writer of this post. My goal is to point out why this isn’t a good way of making tutorials. Showing people how to copy a game is not a good way of teaching.

How do I download the game? I don’t see the download button he showed in the tutorial

It would be nice to know exactly what’s done and where it’s located as I put about 10 hours into building the map with 3 other people also doing as much work as me.

i could write a more in-depth explanation inside of the readme script if you’d like

How is making an “experience” begging people to give you money an experience?
Roblox’s tagline is “Powering Imagination” but where’s the imagination in creating an experience where the sole purpose is to beg for money, while most of the time there is little to no effort to make it actually good.
I don’t think people should encourage other people to create games just to make a quick cash grab, which is a large problem on the platform. Experiences should be meaningful and have effort put into them and the popularization of these types of experiences is honestly sad to see. Encouraging others to create experiences begging for money takes away from the “Powering Imagination” Roblox was created for.

i’m pretty sure everyone is well aware this took a lot of effort for everyone in our team
p.s.;
it’s better to move this to dms as this is a tutorial post, not a discussion post

Sorry, I should’ve said visual effort. I’m not denying that the game takes a lot of programming effort, but i meant as in visual effort, the game’s looks.

Yo, thanks for this! I wanna make a donation-type game with a unique twist, almost like starving artist.

Why, just why, this will make the “Donate me” concept way boring, and annoying, just like Piggy.
Good job for the effort of making a tutorial though!

I think this is just a post to show people how to make a game, if this you think this isn’t okay then why would Roblox literally have templates of games to literally start out with, at least this shows how to do it and not have it there for you.
This can teach you something, maybe even how to make something claimable, not just donations.
