Hi! So I have this game called “Order Up!” on my main account, TXYW1. I made it around a year ago and recently completely redid it, and well that set off Roblox’s home recommendations and I was averaging 450 CCU just last week. Now, the amount of home recommendations per hour has drastically dropped and I average 180-200 CCU. What happened? One Idea I have is that they changed my game Genre from Party and Casual to Simulator, and well my stats for party and casual were good. Playtime and retention was in the 80th percentile or above, but now since its in the simulator, genre its in the 20th. Would that affect home recommendations?
I also think the genre change did affect roblox’s algorithm with the promoting of your game. You can always try appealing the genre change using roblox support.
I know this thread is 15 days old but a game I’ve played for a few years also experienced something similar when Roblox released the new genres. I think part of it is the demographic the simulation category is mostly targeting, view below attachment for games popular right now in the simulation category:
The game had 300-400 CUU prior to being placed in simulation and now hovers in the low 100s. I really advise against the simulation category unless you’re making yet another highly saturated simulator game with colorful gambling and all.
