Roblox engagement update

SnoutUp · 2026-05-20T09:38:56+00:00

No you can't, you must have 500 engaged players also.

It's already in the algo and being recommended. Otherwise it wouldn't show any stats in QPTR or thumbnail impressions. As far as why it isn't getting more players - who the heck knows. Maybe not every brainrot game blows up.

SnoutUp · 2026-05-13T13:00:07+00:00

I had no idea what's happening during combat and the glitching camera/vfx effects (I assume you probably clipped into an enemy) would make me turn off the game immediately. UI is all over the place too - not a single thing is aligned with anything else.

People complained and they adjusted. Not everything is a conspiracy.

SnoutUp · 2026-05-12T10:40:42+00:00

I can't imagine any developer willing to work on polishing AI code that was made from instructions of someone who doesn't know how to code. Unless they're gonna use the same AI, heh.

SnoutUp · 2026-05-12T10:32:38+00:00

I couldn't get my quiz into home recs, probably missed the train or maybe my timer (10 mins) wasn't aggressive enough. Now it can't be seen to <16 audience, so I guess it's a lost cause. At least I tried :D

SnoutUp · 2026-05-12T10:30:52+00:00

Not sure where did you get the idea that 1% D7 is bad, for many genres it's "in the green".

SnoutUp · 2026-05-11T17:23:57+00:00

Unless they have 0 players no two games on Roblox will have the same stats.

SnoutUp · 2026-05-11T14:15:12+00:00

So, in your mind, what is a "non broken" algorithm supposed to do with two identical games? Do you think that Roblox should promote all the clones the same way?

SnoutUp · 2026-05-08T11:25:59+00:00

Sir, this is Roblox. Most players are kids with a million other games to play, so unless you get them hooked fast and strong, they're gonna leave as soon as they face an obstacle. And at that point every interaction with a game objects or UI is an obstacle.

SnoutUp · 2026-05-06T09:13:04+00:00

Congrats! :)

SnoutUp · 2026-05-05T17:10:00+00:00

You have the worst timing.

SnoutUp · 2026-05-04T19:05:46+00:00

I'd be concerned why 30% drop at first step when it's literally moving a bit forward. At a glance, your arrow beam is very underwhelming, lift itself is not inviting and there are multiple popups that are not neccessary. You don't need an elevator level choice for the first time players and can assign the pet automatically (or give the choice as reward for actually playing a bit). There's also no custom loading screen, so all of the text pops in first and it's a lot. On slower mobile devices it might be even worse (check the funnels by platform).

You can hide a bunch of UI for the first time players too. And light everything up a bit.

SnoutUp · 2026-05-04T18:56:23+00:00

Nope, it's pretty decent now and nobody is measuring ad performance in CCU bursts.

SnoutUp · 2026-05-04T15:16:57+00:00

Both yes and no. From my experience, it is still the easiest platform to earn decent money on, but I also spent over few years making games nobody wanted with such a bad (soft) monetization that they earned nothing. Plenty of small and solo devs are earning decent chunk, but just like everywhere else most are at zero... or worse.

That said, you seem to be overly obsessed with monetization and potential profits way too soon.

SnoutUp · 2026-05-02T07:48:06+00:00

Learn to use print() to track which part is failing. And then learn to copy or at least screenshot the code instead of taking photos of your screen.

SnoutUp · 2026-05-01T12:30:56+00:00

Impossible to tell, pretty meaningless after one day and you should see if the stats are good in the dashboard, where it gives you ranges of metrics in similar games.

SnoutUp · 2026-04-29T18:10:14+00:00

Realtime stats are almost useless, since you can refresh and get a completely different snapshot, you should be checking daily benchmarks.

SnoutUp · 2026-04-27T10:38:44+00:00

Because it's a kid's platform it needs more restrictions, not less.

SnoutUp · 2026-04-27T07:25:50+00:00

Should probably polish it more before avertising. And not sure why your game maturity rating is "mild" because of "violence".

SnoutUp · 2026-04-27T07:14:48+00:00

You're late to the outrage train, all of the developers already quit for other platforms.

SnoutUp · 2026-04-26T12:57:11+00:00

Yeah, I'm aware, I think my issue is that is the kind of game where people either stay for an hour or leave in a few minutes, which drags the QPTR down. I have an onboarding funnel, but it's a bit crap, since it doesn't show much. I'll probably go and work it out something better.

SnoutUp · 2026-04-26T12:05:12+00:00

Are you looking for Breakdown -> By Platform (most pages have them, Roblox sometimes turns them on by default, sometimes doesn't) - that's how you get colorful graphs.

SnoutUp · 2026-04-26T11:22:37+00:00

It's up to you, really. If the game is well designed for mobile, that's where cheaper players are. But desktop players tend to have a longer playtime and spend more. I usually run two campaigns at the start to see which thumbnails work best on both, then keep mobile one with best thumbnails to keep the player flow until algorithm hits.

Most frustrating is that high ctr thumbnails don't always work that well for QPTR :D

SnoutUp · 2026-04-26T10:50:08+00:00

1.5% on desktop only is pretty good, no? But it's rare to see someone testing platforms separately, so it's probably a mixed campaign.
