Hello everyone. This is the second game that my son and I have created in Roblox.
The first game about a children’s park received 0 visits from Roblox.
But we were not discouraged. After spending a huge amount of time and effort, we created a second game for fans of the game SchoolBoy Runaway.
SchoolBoy Runaway is now very popular in our country, a huge number of YouTube videos have been shot on it.
Fan games based on it in Roblox have millions of visits.
However, our game had 0 visits. We have a YouTube channel and we released a video about our game, after which about 300 people from our subscribers visited the game in a couple of weeks.
I watched the competitors’ games about SchoolBoy Runaway in which there are 0 visits from Roblox, there is just an icon of the game and an empty level.
The only explanation that comes to mind is that Roblox wants money.
We don’t have the opportunity to spend money on advertising a free game right now.
Or maybe our game is terrible and completely uninteresting?

Perhaps you are looking at our game and at a screenshot from the game?
ok… i tried your game and i have no idea where to go or what the story is. i also dont know why the zookeeper from zoonomaly is walking around the town
are you trolling us or something
Let’s take any similar one with millions of visits, are they better?

Apparently my son and I are too dumb for roblox?
i never said that. its just that… i have no idea what your game is about or what im doing
also those games are not similar to yours
From my look at the games mentioned I have deducted that this trend of whatever it is may have passed, as the games uploaded were created about 4 months ago, hence again, the trend has probably passed, thus, you wouldnt receive such popularity.
We can also tell that these games arent doing well anymore as they have dropped to about a max of 32 active players.
And from looking at said games, I have also noticed that most players appear to be bots, which would explain such active people.
Overall, the trend has probably passed, and from looking at it, all the popular games appear to only contain bots.
Hope this helps a bit~

I don’t need huge popularity, but 0 visits from Roblox speaks volumes.
Are you saying your received 0 plays from Roblox (like being recommended to people) and all other views are from people coming from yt?
I’m a bit confused.
i played da game for a few mins its got a nice map but idk the goal of the game maybe its like a roleplay game? im not much a roleplayer so i dont know but yeah theres no objective in this game just a map and nun much else to do
This is a fan game, the level from the original game and its characters are reproduced with great accuracy.
Until we released the video on YouTube, we had no visits at all. So roblox does not recommend the game to its users as YouTube does
They only really recommend a game if it has active players. I’ve noticed you start to get recommend at about 5 players.
Thanks for your reply. But how will the game gain five players if it is not recommended? Apparently, this cannot be achieved in a normal way. But I have no desire to launch bots on the map, and even less desire to continue developing Roblox games. Maybe my son will persuade me to continue, though…
Well see, often how trends work, once they die, they are died. You arent going to receive players, again, as the only players playing are bots.
So again, its a died trend, the only players are bots, I think its best to just let this go, as at this point your game will not be picked up by the algorithm, which is resulting in no players.
My point is, probably just let the game die, as it wont sustain players, its the sad truth tbh.
Using popular keywords in the description is probably the best way to get people to find it via search.
To gain more popularity, here are a number of things you can try:
-
Don’t just make youtube videos, make tiktok videos and make a twitter account. It’s important to get your game’s name as recognized as possible. Many games get a big playerbase from becoming popular on social media and/or video sharing platforms.
-
Although you said you don’t have money to spend on advertising, you should still sponsor your game because it is one of the things most developers will do at some point. Spending money to advertise your game should be something you’re willing to do to get results that you are hoping for. Why else would Roblox create a way for developers to advertise their games on its own site? It’s the most likely way for roblox players to see your game, but there is risk involved that it may not guarantee an equivalent return in robux.
-
You can play the roblox game called Developer Hub. It’s a free way to show your game to several people. You can even increase the likeliness that your game will be seen by other players by spending 10 robux to advertise your game for a day. I’ve advertised there before, and it does work in getting more visits to your game.
-
You can talk about your game to people you know. This may or may not help increase your game’s popularity because the people you know may not even be interested in Roblox. But, it doesn’t hurt to try. You never know who you might talk to that can help your game grow.
I hope these tips have helped you.
Here is the first video on YouTube about this game that was released five days ago and has gained one hundred and forty thousand views. How did the trend die?

Ok the trend could still be trending via youtube, but on roblox from looking at the stats, it appears to have died. Along with that, the person has 2mil subscribers.
That and the market on roblox is entirely different then youtube, youtubes algorithm also works different from roblox’s, thus things arent the same from platform to platform.
I also went through fan games about a Schoolboy. Many servers are just bursting with visits. It’s hard to believe that there are forty bots at a time. And so it is on every server.
I have no idea why the trend died if everything says otherwise. Oh well. I’ve already figured out what I wanted to figure out. Thanks a lot to everyone.
