Hey developers
I’m about to finish my first game ever, therefore, I don’t have a large amount of Robux and a Player Base. My question is, what should I do once my game is done? What have you done?
Find an investor, if they think your game is good they will give you the robux! Offer them a percentage of what you make. Or promise them like 5000 more robux then they invested!
after you finish the game that you created you must find some bugs so that player don’t get to much complain with your game. after you done that try invite friend to see how good and what you could put in the game before your game open to the public. after their is no bug and new idea that your friend give you, you can now advertise the game to see how the people react to your game.
Tell your friends about it, advertise if you can, and have a big campaign that welcomes the newcomers to the game. Then come up with a schedule of when updates will happen. Listen to your community and decide to make changes based on feedback.
Thank you a lot, very useful tips! I think I’ll create a discord server for the game to receive feedback. I hadn’t thought about welcome the newcomers, I’ll think about how to do this.
Before advertising and promoting your game you need to make sure users enjoy your game gather a few of your friends, to help provide ideas and general feedback and see what other elements are missing in your game. The game should have a ‘fun’ gameplay including a proper game loop.
Promote your game on Twitter using ‘#RobloxDev’ post what the game is about including little teasers- pictures - videos ect. You could also contact Youtubers, to let them check out your game include rewards and other options to engage your players making them return back.
Consider putting towards creating a playerbase in active community; if you don’t have the money to sponsor or advertise your game, and you feel like your ready get your game out there. There are many factors when it comes to releasing a first game project.
One thing that seems to have a return is to associate with other builders, visiting their games, discord and etc.
I don’t have a lot of visibility, so I join groups, I leave a link, I ask them to test it, little by little players appear, if they like it, I’m sure they’ll come back, which is not really my case, because it wasn’t a project I thought of, I just thought about a random theme for test learning.
I myself, I enter all the games posted in my category in Portuguese and whenever I enter I leave feedback, many do the same.
Count on me!
