Idea: Development Company; Please do not snag the idea

This isn’t a new idea as some roblox groups/games let you hire developers or let developers create portforilios on their game (essentially creating the collab catagory of the dev forum on to roblox).

Sorry bud, you don’t have to be 18 years old to create a Roblox company. You also don’t have to be 18 years old to be a worker for a Roblox company.

You can also pay them real money, even if they are a minor. Why do you think DevEx exists and works?

This already exists in Roblox, many groups on Roblox provide scripting/building services for groups in exchange for Robux.

Well , not really , this group is unique in one way that it includes hiring bunch of devs (team of devs) once , like if somoone is looking for developpement team , he can go to that group and hire the team he choose …

I have seen groups. But they would not be as open as free as us. A dev can join a project when it opens up. Users will state how many devs they want, and the first people to react will get acces to said project. THE WHOLE DEV TEAM WOULD NOT BE WORKING ON ONE PROJECT.

Looks interesting how you would hire a whole development team

Make a post on the dev forum :thinking:

I’ve seen ideas like this before, where there’s a platform with developers that can share their portfolios and be hired. This seems like a small twist to that, I wish you luck.

This has been done many times, so don’t worry about your idea being snagged. I co-founded a venture like this a while back, it was a organization called “Rolancer.” My only advice is to please organize your sales and who is working on what. These things can get out of hand really quickly, I know from experience.

The copyright law does not protect ideas, meaning you cannot copyright someone for using your idea, period. Developers are allowed to use your idea without prior consent. If I am wrong about this, please correct me.

While I am not able to provide sources (I don’t keep track of these groups) I have found similar “contracting” development groups on Roblox, so this is not unique. Your problem would be getting developers to join and stay. Why would they develop for your group and lose out on 2 percent, when they can just gather a team from recruitment and portfolios?

I like the idea of “Fiverr” for development needs. The more important question is–who is still alive that provides these services?

This already exists for many top games; ROLVe, for example, is a team of devs that specifically do certain tasks based on the DevRolve assigns.

Groups like this already exist and you do not own this idea

Has been done before, just that they did not get as much attention.
Copyrighting this thing is a meme.

A lot of people above. e. e e e e e e e

So basically the idea is that the group act as a full-team paid as commissioners/freelancers? Not unique but it will be interesting to see in Roblox.

Like everyone else said; this has already been done, it occasionally works out - but you need to get a team going to even get this process started. So there you go. People do this already; the only way for you to really beat the competition is to find clients, post your teams work, and offer the best customer service on the platform.
