This is actually insane, can’t even imagine the quality of the games with that type of funding. Good luck to anyone applying.

Great to see, it’s often seen that the projects which push the boundaries of Roblox aren’t entirely profitable or go unnoticed. Hopefully this can start to change that and make development of high-risk games more lucrative.

can i work with you on a game
Ok seriously though, how would we utilise the full range of the $500,000 given to us from a pitch, seems very ambitious from Roblox.

I’m excited that Roblox is doing these programs with developers. Hopefully they do this every year so those who are not eligible can do it in the future.

Pretty insane program to have a $500,000 minimum budget. I will be 18 in September, and friend would be 18 in October. When does the program begin? Could we apply now, would we be 18 by the time we potentially start?

I think this is an amazing opportunity for both new and existing developers on the platform. Roblox is providing so many great opportunities and tools, today making a game really isnt as difficult as it used to. Developers can create the game of their imagination without having to worry about a thing, just the game itself. Im excited to see the amazing games that will come to the platform thanks to this program. Good luck to those applying!

A minimum of $500000, holy smokes, that is a ton of money.
Exciting to see the continued push from Roblox towards enormous projects. There is no doubt the platform can support ambitious ideas, building professional teams, and external connections, but it is very difficult to pull off with the limited budget most games have.
My only concern here is that Roblox continues to maintain a focus on the people that make the platform what it is, the once player now creator users who know the platform the best.
Looking forward to seeing what comes out of the Game Fund.

I suppose Roblox wants some really professionally made games. For an actual, professional game studio, I assume that $500,000 is nothing.

I absolutely love to see this. Ambitious developers and games that truly push the limits of the Roblox engine almost always go unnoticed, sadly. I am hoping that this program will change that. All in all, you have done great with this event- Thank you Mkivtt and Roblox staff for this great opportunity for talented developers. $500,000 is a ton of money for it being per project and I’m excited see what comes from this. Good luck to all applicants.
This is one amazing offer to all the Developers and is the next big step towards pushing the Roblox engine to its limits, as users have already started to do. I love this, and I am sure many others do as well.
The fact they receive this large a budget gets me very excited to see just what the Developer community can push themselves to make. I have already seen some crazy good games out there that push Roblox to its highest limits, as stated above when I said that users have already started pushing the engine to its limits.
What if The Game Fund could make the next most insane Roblox game/showcase? Or maybe the next big front-page game? The games that may come out of this are obviously going to be quite good, due to the sheer budget they have and the expectations they are held to. I, sadly, am unable to apply, due to the fact I am 16 right now- but I will always be excited to see what incredible experiences can come from this program. This is a great way for talented and up and coming developers as well as underappreciated developers and creators to showcase just what they can do in Studio, and that gets me excited, along with countless others.

This is so cool and an amazing opportunity for us creators, thanks so much 
! Small question, it it something that could be done alongside the Accelerator program? As in, can an Accelerator project also apply for this program?

With 500,000, you could do nearly anything. I know many games that are very good but have little players because they don’t have enough to get players. With that amount of money it will be able to help developers and players find new games and genres. This is amazing roblox!!

Although I am currently planning a huge project right now that would suit this program, with fancy graphics and the quality/storyline of a high quality non-roblox game, I unfortunately am not over 18 and would not be able to utilise this program.
I look forward to see how it goes and what is created with it though! $500,000 is a lot of money and could create exactly what I’m wanting to work on, just with extremely high quality.
And responding to replies, yes, $500,000 can be spent, commissions & freelancing, e.g logos can cost a ton, this will bring extremely high-quality games to the platform.

What is the main difference between this and the Accelerator Program? Why should people apply for the Accelerator Program when they can enter the Game Fund, are they not essentially the same thing?

Taking a look at the application requirements, I’m going to assume this is more directed towards people that want to build very large scale teams and take on projects that the platform hasn’t seen successfully completed before.

Hello Hayden,
To quickly answer you, the application requires to be 18+ so you can wait until you get to the age of 18 but only apply after, spots are limited so applying in October/September might be a bit too late.
Good luck

I believe the accelerator program is more engaging, involving talk sessions and other things rather than just being outright funding

That’s insane tho I wish they could at least give Robux as funding for 16-18 years old people.
