"Unknown" games

Hello,

I’m not quite sure if this subject already has been talked about in the past but…
A thing I’d really love to see in the future is a list of all kinds of yet “Unknown” or not so well known games on the game page. Because currently Roblox isn’t really doing anything to find unknown games (in my opinion). There’s plenty of talented developers out of there who’ve struggles getting to become known and actually getting their games played, as the games should. A way to find those games are, well, just a section on the site where these unknown developers could fill in some kind of list about their game. After they filled up it, the game should be reviewed if it’s actually worth become known, and if it’s not some silly free modeled game.

I hope this will find some support.

NOTE: This is not about me, this is about unknown developers in general.

It’s ‘unknown.’

Currently you have it spelled UN-CONE.

#3

It’s the developer’s job to make their unknown game known.

#4

Alright, that’s not a lot support for this, I see. That’s pretty sad actually.

#5

It is sad that ROBLOX doesn’t educate teenagers on how to make there game known. That they don’t have a dedicated section for that is quite normal…

If you want to be known, let us know what you are currently doing. And perhaps we can help you with it.

As the idea is good and may help some people, I think it will create more problems than what you initially think.

Think of it like this: there are 5 million active monthly users on ROBLOX (I think that was the number…) Let’s say, as a hypothetical example, each of them make a game. Obviously, not all 5 million games are the best. These will need to be filtered out and reviewed. ROBLOX will then need a team to review these. If I did the math correctly, that means they would have to review 166,667 games a day; 6,945 games an hour. That team will need to be HUGE and is very impractical.

I think this is why ROBLOX hasn’t done something like this. They kind of left it to what Kevin said; leaving it to the developer to make their games known.

I’m addressing this soon, look out for that. People care. I don’t have the unknown problem anymore, but that doesn’t matter.

You didn’t really provide something to support so there’s not much reason to get upset if you’re not seeing “support”

#8

This is what Recommended is supposed to be, but it doesn’t necessarily work.

#9

I think it’s better we don’t have an unknown section. Without one we get the opportunity to learn about marketing our games.

#10

If you look at the roblox subreddit, you can find someone advertising their game every now and again. It’s totally not effective, since the people testing out the game have super high expectations (taken from most of the current front page games)

We’re probably never going to see any new developers in a few years, and the people who have learned to use Studio and branched out with it during its simpler stages/ times when people checked out your game even when it was half finished and not very good, will be the only ones able to keep up.
