Roblox has been a gamers’ paradise for several years now, made for kids by kids by loved by adults too. The platform also allows anyone to create games for the other players, making it extremely versatile and offering many new titles in a single year. What started as humble beginnings has attracted professional video game developers to participate.
Many teenagers are learning to code and create games through the developer platform, Roblox Studios. The catch is that anyone under 18 doesn’t own a credit card, so they can’t earn any royalties. All that drives them is their passion for gaming. Not so much older, pro video game developers, who would love to see a return on investment.
This year has seen a rise in professional game developers heading to Roblox as a way to quickly create and release new games for the platform. The catch is that they’re up against teenagers who know what other children enjoy playing, and they’re doing it for free. The pro developers have team members they need to pay, so they’re hoping for some form of financial returns.
The same appeal and impact appeared on Netflix. What was once a modest streaming platform eventually brought on A-list actors, such as Dwayne Johnson, Gal Gadot, and Ryan Reynolds in Red Notice. There are many Netflix movies that attract some of the best actors in the industry, and now they’re delving into games.
With pro video game developers growing on Roblox, we should be seeing massive titles appear with new functions we’ve never seen before. It will be fascinating to see what they come up with and if there are any financial rewards for every member of the team. Since Roblox is one of the most loved gaming platforms in several countries, we should see titles in various languages.
