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.

Seeing this is extremely exciting! Proves people’s points wrong that Roblox does not support newer developers.

Yeah, but if that is the case then this would essentially render it useless.
Given that they will still be sitting with you and giving you accompany throughout the program from start to finish, if there is even a finish.
The Goals are somewhat different, I agree, but Game Fund is a much more worth it deal than Accelerator because it also seems more serious about creating a game, and the experience you gain here is much better than the one you would as an Accelerator, in-fact the payment would probably be lower as an Accelerator than this.
And if they are taking this much more seriously, then the selection of the Developers would be much more biased and the chances of someone who is unknown yet have the skill to be selected are much lower than it already is for an Accelerator. It just falls down to preference and is very subjective.

This is a lot of money! I wonder what’s going to be made with all of this money.
Hopefully it doesn’t go to the wrong people.
