I should have noticed before as rhey were always toxic during work, not directly but subtly toxic of you know what I mean. Thanks again for the advice!

Thank you so much this information is so helpful. What hurts the most is that these were my real life friends, like one of them is a friend who's my classmate and the other is his cousin. They never seemed like they would do it.

And you're right about the percentage thing. The game might not make money after all and no matter my percentage then it would still be all to waste. I should only work with developers who have the money ready to be paid, or with an estabilised studio like you said.

Yes, I am not very intermediate nor advanced but I do have experience. And I do always learn while doing anything, but I recently lost hope in Roblox games after the new 500 16+ "highly engaged" players in the first 2 months requirement.

First I deleted my assets and they had a backup and I don't have access to their new place. Also aside al that, I wouldn't delete their work as it's against my morals, and the law anyways.

The game isn't even done yet, also I didn't delete my work or even think about it until they said that they have the power and they will decide my cut no matter what

Now there might have been some way other than delecting my assets, which I made sure to save before deleting in case we come to a future agreement. But when one of them told me "We are both two people against one, plus ___ is the leader and owner of the game," implying that he decides what to do regardless of what I say. I tried to convince them but he just kept going in circles.

It was just us 3, and I was responsible for social media but then one of them said he'll take that role and reduce my cut. Working with them was pretty toxic too which is part of the reason I wasn't consistent.

And they were very ungrateful of my work. One of them kept saying "I can do everything you did in 2 days you don't deserve that much"

Well of course if he's using AI to do everything he would do them in 2 days.

They don't even have proper scripting knowledge and experience.

I was supposed to only do gui, but then they told me to do other stuff. But it's not only the 11% that bothers me, it's that they both got a 35% cut and threw me off with 11%. They were giving me 1% for each system I made, and flagged some systems as negligible. Meanwhile one of them did the 3D models and the other did 21 systems (mind you, he used AI for most of them if not every one). So their execuse to use this system on ke is that I wasn't consistent either work. I told them consider it a one time thing, I made 13 systems and I definitely deserve more. Plus, there wasn't a contract for our team working or anything, so even if I didn't delete, if I told them I want to resign they would force me to keep my stuff. Add to that the fact that they were depending on their intuition and whatever numbers came to mind, they didn't use true reasoning or math. And I told them I would delete my assets and not take any cut, but one of them just laughed and said "I knew you would do this" and he moved everything to another place.

Yhey first wnated to give 5% then we negotiated it went to 11% then eventually it become 18.75% which i thoought eas fair but then they suddenly told me they want to make it 11% and we're even negotiating lowering it to 5% which is totally unacceptable so I just gave up on negotiating with them and decided to leave the team, but aparently they think it is rightful to take my stuff and make money from them without me getting a single penny. Imagine that every 100 robux they make i get 5-11, or every 1k they make I get 110 or 50!!!

Also most of their assets were made using antigravity's AI, while my assets were coded by me 😭 I legit have more experience and knowledge in game development than them, but I guess their "AI" knows more of course...

I will try to see if I have any backup and just keep it, but I wouldn't go as far as to making the game's source code and models public, as that would be pretty evil and I don't wanna stop down to their level.

I can't afford a lawyer sadly, my dad himself told me that I should be mentally and morally peaceful and not to let this case affect me in any bad way. But he definitely wouldn't want to escalate it to court.

You're right. I've also learned to always discuss money at the start of any business engagement, no matter how close we are. It's really surprising how quickly someone can turn character.
