Game developer who occasionally makes stuff in Roblox

My game Tiny Wheels hit 1 million visits! This is so incredible, I never thought it would reach so many players so quickly.

Thank you!! More updates coming soon! :)

@EdenojackRBLX Congrats!

@IckyVickyRblx Seemingly, these obvious workarounds got missed. Roblox's solution was to throw AI at the problem. Now regular users are battling with AI appeal systems and false bans. If Roblox addressed these workarounds, human (or crowd-sourced via reports) moderation could be more realistic

[Drainhp @drainhitpoints]

@IckyVickyRblx @plasma_node What I don't see anyone talk about: cloned games detection. Prevent banned games from being re-uploaded within minutes. Also prevent bad actors from circumventing bans by using group holder accounts. Plenty of basic platform security issues like these

@sleitnick Your code is filtering out storage containers like ReplicatedStorage and ServerStorage. Is that intended?

@EvanZir This happened to my game after sitting at 0 CCU for 3 years. Very similar pattern to yours, with smaller bumps in home recommendations, then dying down, before the algorithm suddenly really took the game off. All happening with next to no updates

Orthonormalization of matrices can be one-shotted elegantly, and can be used to interpolate between multiple endpoints by just linearly combining the CFrames scaled component-wise by their weight.

@MaximumADHD They all remind me of my old grumpy teacher of my middle school woodworking class who wouldn't let me make a crowbar because "they're supposed to be made of metal". If you arent gonna be prying any doors or bending any rails anyway, why would you need a real one?

[Drainhp @drainhitpoints]

@BrokenBoneRBLX I wish they would make an exception for older games with many visits, or something like that, if only to preserve these absolute gems. Many of them have been highly influential to the games that came afterward

[BrokenBoneRBLX @BrokenBoneRBLX]

There has to be a better way of securing the platform than taking down quality, innocent games like these.
Taking down an OG like Epic Mining 2 is dirty.

@fabuss254Dev I also don't like the term Highly engaged players because it's really unclear what it means. But from what I understood from their devforum Q&A answers about these changes, it seems like they are just talking about bots, not about setting requirements for your game's playtime etc

[Drainhp @drainhitpoints]

@fabuss254Dev "Highly engaged players" probably does not mean players who highly engage in *your* game in particular, but in the platform overall (as opposed to bots or fake accounts). I think they are just trying to deter botted games from appearing on Kids and Select, which makes sense

[Drainhp @drainhitpoints]

@MaximumADHD (is what I would propose if there is no existing term for it)

@MaximumADHD Swiss cheese expertise

@haizoopRBLX Tile spleef is a classic. Also one of the first things I tried to script when I was learning

[Drainhp @drainhitpoints]

@haizoopRBLX People just love to tear other people down for some reason. But I bet the majority of them haven't accomplished what you have done. 45 days in a row is real dedication, I'm very impressed!! With that kind of consistency, you can learn anything! Keep it going!

[Drainhp @drainhitpoints]

@haizoopRBLX Yes few lines of code is completely normal, and even typical. When scripts have more lines in them, usually it's because the task demands it. Maybe it's a bigger/more complicated feature. If you have short scripts that you're happy with and they work, then that's perfect!

[Drainhp @drainhitpoints]

@Posyonose2 And from a business standpoint; if someone can create a full Roblox game using only GenAI, well then so can you, because the same AI model is publicly available. Hence they have no competitive advantage. Not without human effort.

[Drainhp @drainhitpoints]

@Posyonose2 I think you should. I strongly believe that investing time into creating stuff is still a highly valuable effort, just as much as it was before GenAI.

Type functions are pretty cool #roblox #robloxdev
