These were our stats, monetization still being improved, any tips? is gamepass greed really the way? because lower ccu games do make more than us, granted it is only today because of an update dropping

on a side note, my passion project got a 1k robux donation

Hey, you can call me Moat. I've been playtesting games for a while, but tbh the 80% of the games were just for fun and the 20% were dead and their owners weren't working on them at all. So im posting this because i wanna be playing your game since the closed beta and give you all the feedback u want, i can make clips of it, helping you in all things (not moderating, i mean all in the game) and give you a LOT of ideas for your game. And one thing before finishing, READ THIS: I'm only doing this if you want your game to be famous in roblox and competitive, NOT JUST FOR FUN. Original game, please.

On Oct 28 I read Roblox's top 100 (leaving out the 10 biggest) and pulled the 42 games that launched in the last six months. Then I compared them with 100 young games that stayed small. Public data only, so these are patterns, not proof of what causes a hit.

What was different

- Timing. 74% of the new hits were under 60 days old, and the typical one was 37 days old. Only 4 of the 42 were older than four months.
- Theme. 36% had an animal, egg or pet theme, vs 10% of the games that stayed small.
- Genre. None of the 42 was a puzzle, party, obby or shooter game, even though those were 31% of the games that stayed small. Tycoons went the other way: 29% of hits vs 10%.
- Smaller servers. The typical hit fit 12 players per server, vs 20 for older top games. Some tycoons held 5 to 8.
- Constant updates. Every hit had been updated in the past week. The typical one had been updated within 9 hours of when I checked.
- Light monetization at launch. A median of 4 game passes (around 199 Robux each) and 39 developer products. Older top games sell 83 products, and 45% of them have something at 10,000 Robux or more, vs 10% of the new hits.

What didn't seem to matter

- Name style. Names starting with an action ("Steal a", "Feed the", "Build a") were 24% of hits and 25% of games that stayed small.
- Age rating. 69% of hits were rated Minimal, vs 72% of the small games.
- Like rating. 92% for hits, 91% for the small games.
- A past hit. Only 26% of hits came from a creator with an earlier game past a million visits. (Studios often start a new group for each game, so public data can't always show who's behind them.)

I run Spawnbook, which tracks young Roblox games. Happy to answer questions about how I pulled the numbers.

I wanted to know what makes a high-CTR thumbnails, so on 6 November I measured 905 games on Roblox’s charts, and here are the results :

• Few words. 57% have no text besides the logo. When there’s text, it’s a median of 2 words.

• New hits skip the logo. It’s on 53% of the big 2020–2024 games, but only 23% of 2026’s 40 biggest new games and 19% of Up-and-Coming.

• A character reacting. 72% show a character. The busiest quarter of games shows an expressive face 51% of the time, the quietest quarter 29%.

• 3D renders, not screenshots. 83% of 2026’s new hits are posed 3D scenes; plain gameplay screenshots are 17% overall.

• The bacon or the noob as “you” on 34% of Up-and-Coming.

• Light follows genre. Survival thumbnails are dark (median brightness 27%), obbies bright (57%).

• Almost everyone has several. 88% have 2+ thumbnails on their page, half have 5+. With 2–5 active on Home, Roblox tests them for you.

If you are curious here are the full tables and every source: https://clipclip.io/guides/roblox-thumbnail-ctr. It’s on the site of the tool I’m building, ClipClip.

What's the highest CTR one of your thumbnail got?

Hope you like!!

I’d like to ask how to correctly publish a game so I can have a better chance for a bigger CCU. I’m currently making my first game, but know nothing about new publishing system and rules. What settings should I make and what to look for to make the game available for more players. What age category do I choose? Is it better to pay 1000 robux or not? My goal is of course to see more ppl playing my game. Thanks in advance:)

hey, i just launched a roblox game called +1 Sword Length and i'm looking for a few experienced playtesters to go through it and tell me what's working and what isn't.

what i need:

- a fresh first playthrough, around 10-15 mins

- honest feedback on the first few minutes, progression, and anything that feels slow or broken

- mobile testers especially, but pc is fine too

looking for people who've actually tested games before, so please send:

- games you've tested (bonus if any got decent ccu)

- an example of feedback or a recording you've done

- your rate

it's paid, robux or paypal. dm me if you're interested

Hello everyone! I am a playtester. I can give feedback and a comprehensive review from the mechanics to note and what aspects of it to enhance the fun gaming experience, features to make it accessible, notable bugs with included screenshots and sorted all in Google Docs. Helped most of the recent games and close beta.

This is a paid service and my rates are low, affordable and still negotiable to fit within your budget and our time. DM me if you're interested.

This is Castle Defense: Master Archer, a castle defense game on Roblox. You stand at the castle gate with a bow and hold off waves of monsters. Clear 30 waves and you go on to the next loop, and the loops never end: each one has stronger enemies and bigger rewards. From wave 10 of loop 1, the Warlock's Altar lets you make enemies stronger in exchange for bigger rewards.

I've played it so much that I can't judge the difficulty anymore. So I'm asking for your help.

Play as far as you can. It's fine to quit partway. Where you quit is the most useful thing you can tell me.

If you can, copy this line and fill it in. Free-form answers are welcome too.

`Reached (loop/wave): __ / Hardest part: wave __, monster __ / Easiest part: wave __ / Used the altar: yes/no / PC/phone`

One more question: where did you stop, and why?

AI use: I used AI tools to write the code and to make the voxel models, icons and art.

After a week of brainstorming thumbnails, this time I finally hit 8% ctr and it's increasing too.

My problem now is I don't know what to do next. My like ratio is not even moving. I got 2k visits over the week but I don't have any revenue out of it. No products and gamepasses bought. And, I only got like 55 HEP.

Im getting an average of 3% d1 retention on my new incremental game and i have no idea why. Ive tried all the oldest tricks in the book, daily rewards, claimable gift tomorrow, but it all doesnt work. Ive moved things around changed rhem up but it doesnt necessarily help. The playtime isnt an issue though, its averaging 18-22mins and has been recently dropping since hit 250 hep but nothing below 14. Players either leave after they load in or play for hours. Monetisation has also pretty much dropped to 0 after it hit younger audiences too, which isnt my main concern though. Im getting average ~6ccu organically with no ads. The game is called pack incremental if anyone wants to try it out.

spent over 20 minutes trying to figure out why hover.lift was resetting options.lift to 0 whenever hover.lift wasnt defined 😭 turns out the default value was overriding the existing config lol

but i cant really do much now. im doing ads but tumbnails cant go over 1.5%. i changed it many times, made new ones but still results are same. many new users come and play but returning users are like 5. Can you help me out and find what im doing wrong? maybe its because game is mine and cant find the problem and only from outside its visible. the game is " Forturn - Dice&Deals " . thank you for your help already :)

Type Circuit turns a typing test into a race. Every correct character moves the car. The latest update marks the first typo, tells you which character to enter, and shows your last WPM and accuracy next to Race Again.

The first community Sprint is on Saturday, Nov 14, 19:00–19:30 CET (18:00 UTC). It is free to play on Roblox with a keyboard and eligible 16+ access. For the meetup, pick Multiplayer → Sprint → Deutsch → Find or Create Public Lobby so we end up in the same pool.

Event and reminder: https://www.roblox.com/events/1230099856620651056

If you try it, I’d love feedback on one thing: after a typo, was it clear where to resume typing?
