I recently added furniture packs to my building game (https://www.roblox.com/games/7111481221/Just-Build#!/store), there are free furnitures, but to use some special ones you currently have to purchase a gamepass.
I expected this to be decently popular, but not a single of these has been sold so far.
Earlier, when asking the devforum for help with the game’s low revenue per user (This is the post: How can I monetize my game better? (Low revenue per visit)), I got the suggestion to add furniture packs. I was planning on adding it even before so I thought it should be a good idea if more people suggest it.
Now I am considering to take them offsale and make the furniture from these packs free, because I don’t want content in my game that no-one can use. The point of my game is for people to “Just Build” (literally the name), so I am trying to make as much as possible free for everyone to use. But it is important for any developer to get some revenue to be able to keep going with development as you probably know.
Do you have any idea why these aren’t getting sales? Any suggestions on how to improve them and what to do with them? Should these furnitures be free?
Maybe try grouping all of them under an exclusive furniture pass or VIP gamepass? In my opinion, having multiple gamepasses for robux furniture makes them feel less “exclusive” and maybe the player will feel it isn’t worth just buying a small portion of themed furniture as it would cost too much to have “full access”. Also, judging from the thumbnails, the packs look pretty small with only about 3-4 items in them (I don’t know if there is actually more than that), but maybe try to show a larger selection of items, if there is, or include other perks such as a boost in currency or special features.
I had time to play your game and i found your problem. You have not showed them anywhere . First off, I would expect these to be a gamepass, and there is no furniture packs under the store:
Next, you have not monetized them anywhere. Assuming you made them public…
All I saw in the shop was the default building blocks window, and the VIP boombox. If you want someone to buy something you have to show it to them!
I’m assuming that you probably just forgot to put these packs on public, after all you have <10 active players and 150K+ visits, if it was purchasable someone would buy it
I actually ended up making the furniture free. All the packs were gamepasses visible in the store on the game page, as well as in the in-game shop menu, as well as the furniture menu (Where there now are two categories, Default and VIP, there was a category for each separate pack).
The packs were all fully visible and purchasable, that’s why it was so strange that not a single copy was sold.
Alright well I tried , now if you still want a tip to monetize then I suggest you make a season pass system. Maybe have you earn XP per block placed? You could then give out furniture per level and allow them to purchase levels.
