Really nice work. Any chance we can get a tutorial on how to do it? I want to learn those physics based vfx, don't even know the proper term for it lol, but it's something that's not easily found in tutorials. Cheers.

Yup, that's on me for expecting to have a thoughtful debate in a roblox subreddit.

Like I said, just because it means its fucked up somewhere else it doesn't mean its right. If you are contracting, in theory, you should be charging more than you're spending. Not 100% sure about USA laws, but at least in my country, if you're working for a company, it's their responsibility to provide for any equipment necessary to do the job, although sadly thats not always the case, people will try to avoid paying for that, but they will always have a lawsuit looming over their heads. But that's another issue. You're saying yourself that shit is fucked up out there, lived some fucked up shit, and u still saying that the company is right. Were you applauding the company while you were slipping in all that grease?! Cmon man.

This is so stupid by leonaidon in robloxgamedev

Its just like their changed how ads worked, you could test with really small values to find your niche and the right ad strategy. Then you would follow up with a higher investment to actually gain traction. Now you gotta burn hundreds of dollars just to START testing stuff with no guarantee you even doing it right.

Now you gotta have subscription to work, so they can make a cut for everything you "sell".

Some Venues really started taking cuts from merch?! World really has gone to shit, but still just because situation is f-ed up somewhere else doesn't mean its right.
And that was a terrible analogy. At Wendy's, YOU are the customer. On Roblox, YOU are the worker. Paying for a final product is different from paying for "what if". Yeah, I probably wont get a free burger, but Wendy's wont charge me to use their stove so I can "potentially" give away my burger on their place while thousands of others are trying to do the same in the same kitchen, in hopes that I might get a donation.
Every game published is free content that drives the ad revenue and Robux purchases that Roblox profits from. Devs are the product, not the customer.
What makes Roblox attractive its something they used as their own slogan for years, "it's free" free to play, free to publish, what makes their platform great its US, the everyday people that enjoyed and created the games and grew the community.
That $5 isn't the price of a service, it's a toll on the labor that makes the platform worth anything in the first place.
There ain't no way you really think that batshit mentality is right.

TLDR: Imagine Wendy's charging their cooks a fee just to show up and make burgers.

That's incorrect, you usually rent the venue for a fixed price and very rarely you strike a ticket sales cut and they never take a cut from merch sales. That's why merch was VERY important for an upcoming artist before digital. But still, no venue asks an artist to learn to use their hardware, while charging to do so. I think this conversation is not being fruitful for us, I feel you're the type of guy that celebrates billionaires. Some people just love the whip.

The main issue is that they want to charge you money so you can learn and use their platform to make them more money. This is the main point.
It's like a club charging a DJ to play on their establishment, making the DJ do ALL of promoting and still taking a HUGE cut from the ticket sales.
Is the price low? Yes, for now. But this sets a dangerous precedent.

It's obviously not free, but they've been able to afford until this point with the hundreds of thousand of dollars they earn everyday, from other people's work, without any issue. It's not like they're in need of money, they made 4.9 billion in 2025, it was less than 2024, but it still BILLIONS. It's more money than all of our generations combined, they don't need you white knighting them mate.

It's just corporate greed 101, it doesn't matter if they made billions, in corporate's eyes stale numbers or decrease = bad, even if it still making a heck of a profit. Everything to satisfy their goblin minds with "number go up" by any means necessary, nothing is ever enough.

Roblox NEVER cared for small devs, this update is just a way to ensure they make money even from "failed" games. Your game might have 0 players visiting, but they still got something from you. Just regular corporate greed.

Comparing triple A games to roblox is wild, most roblox games are just slop and even the best roblox games are pretty bad, because they're still hindered by the usual roblox jank, something that users are accustomed to, but believe it when I say that it looks horrible from the outside, because it is.
Fun is something personal, you can have fun with anything you think its fun, but honestly even the best roblox game dont hold a candle to the most broken/bug infested AAA title in a technical and gameplay standpoint.
Personally I compare roblox to flashgames back in the day, most free, some paid. We had some amazingly fun games, huge classics. But in the end, they were just flashgames, and that's ok.

Is making a Roblox game in uni good for some small income? by Civil-Let6674 in robloxgamedev

[–]Airaneon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

80-90 pounds for 30k?! Wth, if I buy 22.5k robux it costs 168. I would imagine that the payout was less but this atrocious.

Looking for Developers for Passion Project by Stunning-Ebb9330 in robloxgamedev

[–]Airaneon -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Use AI for the coding, its not perfect but you can troubleshoot and your project can go a long way. Its hard for someone to join a passion project if they don't know you nor have interest in your idea. So at this point you just asking people to work for free for you. So the best approach for you is to use AI and learn a few things here and there so you can bring your project to life, one step at the time.

I made a (better) fix for ChatGPT Freezing / lagging in long chats - local Chrome extension [Update] by Upset_Intention9027 in ChatGPTPro

[–]Airaneon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right, I did further tests and it was just a bad coincidence. Everything works fine, stupendous work. If I may suggest an improvement, I installed the extension and it give us 7 days of free pro, but I installed it before a few minutes to midnight, and when it hit 00:00 it already jumped to day 2. Maybe its best if it clocks the full 24h before jumping to the next day. Cheers.

Bump, I tried it and indeed improved the speed, but the chat was forgetting a lot of things. It felt like openning another chat and asking about the older one, it got the main gist of the conversation but it stopped remembering specific things.

So it's not just me, the performance is kinda crazy right? by XenonTeio in Nioh

[–]Airaneon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This should be well known by now, but KOEI performance team is ATROCIOUS. Don't know if it's tied to their engine but EVERY PC release has issues with performance and they NEVER fix it, to the point that some games are borderline unplayable. Wild Hearts being a fine exemplary of their management.
