Why Roblox Developers ABANDON Their Games...

[@TechyOP_]

WE FINALLY BACK!!! What was your favorite game that was abandoned? 🤔👇

[@cubby9399]

by far hours it was such a fun interesting and unique game that just kinda stopped updating out of nowhere its pretty sad

[@iiDahmer]

project slayers.

[@DaddyDaki]

What's the name of the game at 0:31?

[@PL4SMA_807]

demonfall

[@CzyCat]

One of my favorite games, that were abadoned.. *Was | UCA

[@oban1ze]

Another good example of this is vibrant venture, it used to be a roblox game back in 2020 but got discounted and turned into a real game because the bad code and the bad advertisement roblox was offering

[@civ2323]

i remember one of the developers of that game being in some controversy

[@oban1ze]

[@bobman-tv2de]

[@errickg1]

It got a update

[@autisticbluesloth5244]

i'm a solo dev working on an rpg that is inspired by games like shadovia, arcane odyssey, and deepwoken. i think i would be in a demo stage if not for my lack of motivation. it is hard to work on a game knowing that there will be people who don't understand the effort put into coding an entire game on their own and making 3d models on their own. I know that people will always complain but it is just hard to work on something knowing people expect perfection when I am just one teenager working on a game. I also don't have the money to hire commisions

[@shirokodaki9598]

ROBLOX’s “Powering imagination” catchphrase has never been more false than as of late, considering that being imaginative tends to get most developers little more than wasted time that they could have used to make their game on a platform that actually cares about making unique and engaging experiences. Truly dark times we live in😔

[@somedudewatchingyoutube9163]

powering their bank accounts🔥🥶🔥🤑🤑🤑

[@jubilant4848]

Actually the slogan is pretty accurate. They do power imagination even though making a game using Roblox studio is a bit ass. Besides companies need money to upkeep this sight you love you use. I suppose I’m defending them but you gotta look at it from a business perspective.

[@nazekuogaming]

I really enjoy this kind of video, not only for the contents but also for the information that you provide for the users of the community, which helps people who need to be acknowledged, gives them the motivation to continue with what they are passionate about and giving the kids a more open mind about each situation. Keep up the good work.

[@TechyOP_]

Glad it was helpful!

[@magthesassy7346]

One thing roblox developers have in common is they simply cannot communicate with their community even if their lives depended on it, its like a requirement as a roblox dev to never communicate with your players and just dont update for months lol.

[@sussystudiosoffical731]

As a very new dev, I first wanted to create the biggest game on roblox but soon our team realized that we got no skills and money. So we decided to create a simple battleground game first, it contains lots of cashgrabing stuffs to support our next project. Some devs, however get lost and blinded by cash in the process and continued to create simple cashgrabs that brings them tons of money. Maybe I will become one of them too, since getting lots of money without paying much effort is very temptating.

[@spaghettijeff8920]

You can hold out.

[@editedrectangle1385]

Couldn't have said the reason better myself. Thank you for sharing this side of roblox development.

[@TechyOP_]

You are welcome my good sir

[@sombereternity]

you always make great and accurate points, and tbh its what the roblox community needs. it always makes me sad to see when devs start to think of these massive projects just for the game to end out being made poorly, or just not released at all.(anime legends)

[@TechyOP_]

I feel like if no one else will I have the responsibility to publicize these obvious issues and bring awareness to someone else and just spread the word and messages of encouragement as well

[@diotechtips6804]

Thank you for this video. One of the most genuine ones you've made in a while, good way of appealing to the mass community and general developer population.

[@TechyOP_]

Your welcome and I’ll try doing more like these in the future I’m glad I was able to connect with people with this one

[@YvesDev]

​@@Rebiox78Dumb

[@codesdumb]

its really sad the roblox platform is like this, the lethal company discussion is a prime example of this

[@ThunderSatis]

I think this video is absolutely amazing. Being a small developer myself, I don't believe people quite understand just how much needs to be put into a single game to even attempt to reach 100 players, let alone thousands. Having that urge to just make a copy-paste game since so many make it to the top that way is rough. Attempting to make original-content games on roblox seems to be a lot more "punishing" to the developers rather than "rewarding." Roblox is a, honestly, scary platform to put months and/or year(s) into game development. Again, amazing video and I hope more people understand and possibly even helping out smaller development teams that have enough struggles attempting to release creative work.

[@TechyOP_]

Thanks for the kind words and I’m happy you were able to resonate with the vid 👍🏾

[@CellularPengu]

One thing I won't ever understand is how someone can put so much work into something, just to drop it like it's a piece of trash. You worked so hard on your game and now you're just gonna pretend it doesn't exist? I understand having a lack of motivation but it's honestly just sad, the sheer amount of games that had so much potential, just to get dropped is sad

[@TechyOP_]

The cycle will continue

[@KurisuNo1]

Every Persona OST heard in this video (W video btw techy) 0:02 - 2:30 You Are Stronger (P5S) 2:30 - 4:11 The Days When My Mother Was There (P5/P5R) 4:11 - 5:02 Price (P5/P5R) 5:02 - 5:58 Heartbeat, Heartbreak (P4/P4G) 5:58 - 8:00 Cinematic Tale (PQ2) 👍

[@TechyOP_]

You my good sir are very cultured 😌👍🏾

[@UnfunnyAsHell]

Honestly i feel bad for demonfall, it has TOO much potential, even if the dev has created all the abilities, they can just add some mechanic to let players to be creative with the abilities. Like it is canon that somone can use two breathing at once. There are honestly too much rooms for it to grow

[@galia7x3x4x]

i was surprised to see games like hours, pilgrammed, voxlblade in this video as background footage. seems kind of bizarre that i know 80% of the games present though none the less an amazing video

[@BlizzardNamedJedi]

imagine the community fights back and roblox just gets embarrased by their greed

[@LustLord]

U expect roblox to entertain 20% of rblx population(that isnt kids) instead of continuing cashgrab for 80%(kids)

[@Lilimrrp]

Literally will never happen. Roblox is a monopoly think they care about anyone?

[@steve-z1s]

fun fact, when blox fruit came out, it was an original idea, but just cause it was an original idea doesn't mean it was a good idea

[@acacrazygames]

Jeez.. I really miss Project Star. It was such a fun and beautiful JoJo game, I was devastaded when it got abandoned.

[@nicktheplayer213]

It’s sad to see Slayers get abandoned, as it’s one of the best demon slayer games on Roblox. Me and my friends were so hyped for the newest update, then they broke the news. Tragic.

[@cleverrblxmc2119]

Sorry I missed the video I didn't have my device for the past few days also it's a w I really enjoyed

[@TechyOP_]

No worries!

[@polyh3440]

As a roblox dev myself, i completely agree with the point of the dev community being toxic. Im a vfx artist on roblox and the discord made for us vfx artists is not recommended to seek advice from, There are very few people who try to help beginners there and most people will just say "lol ass" and leave it there.

[@TechyOP_]

Yea I’ve seen this level of treatment of a lot of newer devs and since I’ve spoken to many it really opened my perspective to just how bad it is

[@bwasal]

For exhibit B it’s basically just: “Comparison is the thief of joy.”

[@razorsharpcoolawesome]

For real though

[@TechyOP_]

Damn PREACH

[@susi6084]

Annother example of shadow banning is project star. when u search it up it dosent show it up

[@TechyOP_]

mainly cus it hasn't been updated it almost 2 years but yea

[@ItsMeYami]

Amazing video TechyOP I agree with all of your points I do think that development nowadays has gotten less and less about passion and more about how much money can I make off this but yeah amazing video keep it up man

[@TechyOP_]

All of this is really due to roblox becoming more corporate but that’s a different story for another day

[@Corbzinc400]

I love the fact that in some of ur videos you say that if you want to make a unique Roblox project to never give up and I wanted to make a good Roblox anime game but I didn’t know literally nothing in script and all of that stuff so you really inspired me to push myself to making this game 😅 thank you 🙏

[@TechyOP_]

Your welcome 🙏🏿

[@Lucas-ky9ul]

one of the most underated devs are Archeximus, that made some really good games independently, such as decaying winter and contact: A-888, but she also created other good games

[@mbantogon]

underrated roblox anime youtuber

[@bananastudioofficial1]

As developer Can confirm all these are true

[@Blackstonewarrior]

i feel like there is a lack of motivation for devs to make games in general, i look at how high the standard for effects and animations are and think about how someone else will top it, seeing as people on roblox only play something for its flashy effects and animations

[@TechyOP_]

Yea that too the change of the public’s opinion due to games like project slayers and other games with flash effects coming into play

[@Ron-o1q]

as a new developer: thats why i dont think making a dev team until a really big protect that i want to make bc its impossible to do every single thing alone: coding, building, even soundtracks even tho im skilled at music and building i still have no idea how do i fix my gross scripting skills i guess indie devs must have a really long time to master at these so they can actually publish their game without almost any issues.

[@edgyt1951]

I'm not going to cap bro you were spitting; me and my friend's had the same stuff on recommended for you and on home page, it consists of boring games that make you have to pay for a fun experience.

[@deanmark3636]

If I was a Cash grab dev I'd challenge one of the front page games by creating something like but totally different from per say Bloxfruits or the mistake I mean Adopt Me and start a practical game war for people to choose between two cash grabs to make double the profit from both games to give to Roblox

[@kibbles19]

0:19 😂

[@TechyOP_]

Lol

[@moriamadams1169]

For the thumbnail, the developers of demonfall quit it because they have literally finished it, theres no breathing style or blood demon art to add, theres literally everything. Thats why it died, no more updates, but they literally cant update lol

[@TechyOP_]

Wrong. They had updates prepared arrox just refused to update the game and abandoned it

[@ShampooVR.]

You should look at darkenmoore it’s a horror type roblox game that was abandoned a couple of years ago but I would love to play it again, another game is bloodlines it’s kinda Grindy and difficult and the community is super toxic but it is pretty fun

Tbh demonfall is the one that hits hard I rlly miss it and I wish arrox could just update

[@username_668]

The goat finally dropped

[@ВладимирЧ-с1ц]

The example of such games is "Blacksite Zeta". This game was and keeps being a small game. The animations are pretty good. "Nuggets" will be associated with this. But since as I said before for those who have memory like a fish, it's unpopular. The updates aren't releasing, being completely different from trash, like "SCP games and monsters". For game were large hopes: update the nuggets, add advanced mutation, more creatures, but sadly it didn't happen, because of the recommendation board consisting of copy and paste "experience" games where there are stuff like that: you work in random place, hold the E key to complete tasks, running away from monster, kill rats, news of killer or monster, simple jumpscares, calling and no one answers it. In my opinion that there are a lot of hidden jewels in roblox, but in recommendations are poops in beautiful package.

[@Cap_Briggsy]

I love how you put a bunch of Arcane Odyssey clips into this.

[@TechyOP_]

My favorite game of the year

[@Cap_Briggsy]

[@darkcaite]

HOW COOL IS IT WHEN THE DEVELOPMENTS OF PROJECT SLAYER SAID THAT THE CHAMPION OF THE STAFF WOULD BECOME COSMETICS IN THE PROJECT SLAYER ECONOMIES THE CHAMPION OF THE STAFF STARTED TO FALL SHARPLY AND THEN THE DEVELOPMENTS SAID THAT THEY WOULD NOT RELEASE AN UPDATE WHEN THE CHAMPION OF THE STADD FINALLY FALLED IN PRICE

[@CA19]

Roblox actually hides games that haven't been public for more than ~2 weeks, I'm guessing to limit spam?

[@Blanko_nopico]

Maybe Roblox should add like a keyword function so you type in the search function let’s say “First Person Shooter(FPS)” or “Horror” or “Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure” and so it pulls up all the games following by that tag. Cause I feel that a problem is that not many people are able to find the type of games they want and so you’re having to scroll until you maybe find something that you want to play

[@daxtenschorn5923]

[@kczuei]

The Cari Bros/Rell brothers stick to the game no matter how dead they game is. They’ll shutdown the game they worked on before they just let it sit there with no updates, also they make updates like EVERY WEEK on Shindo life even tho they know that it’s dying and while thus making a new Naruto and One Peice game SIMULTANEOUSLY. That’s the type of devs we need.

[@aycrc]

Main reason WHY Roblox Developers quits working their games is either because they aren't able to fund it or just don't have any motivation at all to put any real work in it.

[@TechyOP_]

Blade ball is not an original idea It's a copy from deflect and deflect Is a copy from a gamemode on overwatch

About the toxicity one. This is very much true with the anime roblox community especially when it comes to rell seas. I say something like “rell seas needs to improve or change some of their moves on spino fruit” and I start getting attacked being called a blox fruits kid. They need to know what an opinions is

[@PokyDaBesto]

what sickens me the most about the anime community is that they always copy whats popular during the moment. Im so fcking tired of seeing gojo in every goddamn fucking game.
