@xJa_ys happy bday to one of the most consistently impressive builders I see on rtc 🎉

[velstorm @velstorm]

@TizzzyRBLX my new game had 1000ccu from algo alone right before the requirement popped up and it instantly got the limit- maybe within a couple hours but idk exactly

[velstorm @velstorm]

@jogamedev I probably put in a solid 5,000 - 10,000 hours developing several games over 5 years before I started making decent money. So at an arbitrary programmer's salary of $50/hour it'd be $250,000 - $500,000 cost lol

@AdamStarrLawyer @Roblox @AnimeeVanguards "a lawsuit unboxing!" bro is excited haha .. super interesting though

[velstorm @velstorm]

@dannamaylen02 you

[velstorm @velstorm]

the hit detection and fighting is very laggy- you need to do hit-detection on the client: give client network ownership and apply the knockback there. Also the zombies getting flung so far makes combat really annoying cause you have to chase them down basically.

after 1 minute in the game I got teleported and I had no clue what was happening

all zombies stuck in running animation

@TizzzyRBLX when im in an evil dev competition and im against tizzy 😨😨😨

[velstorm @velstorm]

getting to wake up everyday and make video games literally feels like the limitless memes

[velstorm @velstorm]

Super proud of how this new game is coming along. Spent a couple weeks under 50 ccu, but @realr0cu and I kept consistent on making improvements to gameplay regardless. Roblox algorithm is taking notice :D

@KenneyNL 🐐

This guy was genuinely moving like Homelander lol.. But definitely take away from this that you NEED to double/triple check when pushing an update. Take it with the same care as if it was your own game! Even an hour of downtime can TANK a game stats and hurt it in the algo.

HMU if you're wanting chill & highly paid scripting work though

[velstorm @velstorm]

@ze3zyy When you make changes in your game at such a granular level- to improve some x or y stat- you usually are taking a trade-off in some other stat without realizing it. Over-time, the initial experience you built is washed away in micro-optimizations

[velstorm @velstorm]

your obsession with maxing your game's stats are actually killing your games

[velstorm @velstorm]

@MrChickenRocket Since when did you work a Roblox?? I remember studying your optimization post years ago. Awesome man

[velstorm @velstorm]

@tiktdev mfs will use ARR in any situation they can 🥀

[velstorm @velstorm]

I mean yea: I've gotten over half a billion visits by telling claude "make a fun Roblox game about ___ with high D1, D7 and playtime" .. works every time

[scattrd @sc1ttrd]

Is making a successful roblox game hard?

#roblox

[velstorm @velstorm]

this new home recc signal is wild

[velstorm @velstorm]

@BuildHero nahhh, their game with 27 ccu definitely got them that

[velstorm @velstorm]

roblox game studios will really buy 1.25% of a game and slap that in the "Portfolio" on their website 🥀

talking about "50k online players on OUR games"

[velstorm @velstorm]

@SurferRBLX ive been going to the same gym for a year and I still dont know anyone there lol. you guys socialize?
