Malls in Roblox?

Okay so I was just thinking of some random game ideas when this one came into my mind. So the game is just a mall where you can just chillout, meet your friends, get some clothing from your favourite clothing designers and stuff. Different clothing designers can rent shops inside your mall for a specific amount of robux per week. I’m not sure whether this is the best idea but I personally like it. It would be great if you answer to the polls or reply so I can know your suggestions. Thank You.

Pros

  • Can help clothing designers.
  • Seems like a good place to chill.
  • It’d be cool to be able to shop at a Roblox mall

Cons

  • If the game does bad no clothing designer would want to put their shop there meaning even less people would go to your mall (like in real life).

Overall seems like a good idea! As long as its popular I don’t see why anything could go wrong!

So do you think keeping rent at maybe 0 robux until the game get at least 10 playing at a time then increasing it to maybe 50 or 100 a week b any good?

Wow! That seems really cool! But you have to get your game popular if clothing groups and designers will invest in renting out virtual space.

Now 0 Robux is too small. If you were to sell it for 0 then you can expect bad quality clothing. I suggest 15 Robux maybe.

And how popular do you think it should be?

Minimum: As popular at Frappe Cafe, but if you want good business maybe as popular as Work at a Pizza Place.

Adding some roleplay aspects also might help the game get popular.

Also, if you expand the mall every now and then, you’ll keep your average players and gain new ones

agreed, maybe a checkout kind of thing with a rank system. problem: would attract trollers.

This could do good, and this could do bad. A major problem would be people with a lot of robux being able to rent it and put horrible and inappropriate clothing in there.

You know instead of JUST clothing designers, having places where people could show off their game and allow people to teleport to it would be beneficial too.

Instead of using Robux, use a system like Group Recruiting Plaza. In that game, you earn GP (the game’s currency) by playing the game. You get about +1 GP per minute. This GP can be used to purchase booths. A booth costs about 140 GP. This methods prevents exploiters while also making it available for everyone.

Furthermore, in GRP, you can buy a gamepass for unlimited booths for free. This is another feature that would boost serious advertisers while supporting your game. The only thing you will need for this idea is a good moderation system, as you don’t know how many trolls there are.

Since your idea is similar, look at what GRP did for help. They have a decent moderation system that handles trolls, scams, and more. The balance between the cost of a booth, the method of earning it and the moderation system work together in a way to prevent someone who is trolling while also making the game accessible and usable to anyone.

Yeah maybe similar to advertisements that if you click on them, show a pop up to confirm the teleportation to said game (people might accedentally click on the ads, and teleport users to said game afterwards.

This is a very interesting concept. A mall in which people can pay to rent stores to sell their merchandise. However, I’m not sure how a system for how store owners would customize their own stores would work.

I have seen many malls where clothing designer groups could rent stalls, but let me tell you. They weren’t as popular. I would be very surprised if it were as popular as Frappe, and I don’t even think that it’s ever going to be as popular as Work at a Pizza Place. The only way to make money from Roblox clothing is to bot clothing, or become a designer at big groups like Kestrel, Fresh Era, and Tiger.

Everything going into the mall will go through two steps of checking for inappropriate content:)

Yeah, this is a great idea, but it’s going to take lots of effort to make.
