I am an experienced builder who uses roblox studio, i have been for a really long time and i have always aspired to make games and roblox has been one of the best outlets i found to actually exercise that idea, considering it has a built in physics engine, and an easy to learn coding language and building materials.
I never was good at coding and always wanted to make some sort of short game with roblox, and every tutorial i turned to hardly ever worked. I also tend to frequent other spaces where I find people who need others to build or model for their games, and I have in the past made numerous models and maps for people and gotten a pretty decent pay from it too.
However i have found that the not so recent at the time of writing this ai age verification update has severely limited both the people i can work with, and the people who can see what i made. All of my games are currently rated 16+, and all games i make in the future likely will be too. This sucks, as most of the games on my profile are almost entirely simple building showcases, and my portfolio
which is one of the most important requirements i need when working with others.
Not only that, but if i do ever gain the ability to actually code and make my own fully functioning game, a small portion of roblox is going to see it. I already have hardly made an impact on this platform as is, and limiting my creations to one of the smaller groups of roblox users is seriously debilitating and has heavily impacted my way of making games on roblox.
I would like to know, if anyone is willing to share in the replies, all the ways that i can get my games out of the 16+ category. any small piece of information that you have helps as long as you share it, and i feel like if there were a way to get me out of the developmental rut i’m in, opening my games to the broader public would lend a tremendous hand to me and potentially other creators on roblox.
You have to acquire “500 highly engaged players” that ROBLOX has recently required or alternatively pay a refundable 100,000 fee. Unfortunately, there is no other way around these options.
Roblox no longer requires your services. Complete the identity verification, pay 100k Robux for publishing the game, or switch to another platform if you are not satisfied with this.
so if i dont pay, its playable only to 16+ but u cant see it in search, if i pay 1k its playable only to 16+ and its in the search, and if i pay 100k its playable to to everyone?
then how does roblox expect new creators to get their game off its feet? if a new account is created and they cant afford any robux so they cant pay the 1k, then is nobody ever gonna see their game?
If you don’t pay 1k, game will be available only for 16+ if you completed requirements. You need to pay 1k to publish your game when it reaches 500 highly engaged players. 100k to skip highly engaged playere requirement.
