This will probably get deleted but…
I feel like this money they’ll be spending on projects potentially bigger than Roblox’s britches is misused. They could instead focus on improving the actual engine as a whole, so that all developers may benefit. Whereas this ‘Game Fund’ is only going to benefit a handful of devs that are selected for the game fund.
Myself I own a game that does actually push the engine’s capability. I had no budget starting out, and have only spent under $1k to get it to where it is. And from experience I can say Roblox’s goal of pushing the platform is good, but this project’s effort is misplaced. Roblox can’t handle a lot of what most game engines can handle.
I even recall Berezaa’s project Vesteria that was funded by the Accelerator Program. They had a budget of $230k + initially and it still had numerous issues cough TeleportService cough. No matter how much money they threw at it, it could only be as good as the platform it was on. And they shutdown for a long time.
Heck my own high quality game Tower Defenders can barely run on a lot of devices and yet I’ve spent months-years optimizing it. And I’ve had top devs advise on it’s performance and efficiency.
Or perhaps this money could be spent on increasing DevEx payouts for ALL devs? Has Roblox forgotten the huge blowout of top developers giving testimony to Roblox’s notorious low turnouts for developers?
