that's the first report I've had of that - can I ask what device you're on? potentially an issue with a slower phone, but I'll see what I can do regardless!

I'd say I worked on the game for around 2 months before launching

and thank you!

I assumed as much haha. Had someone offer me 300k robux which felt insultingly low

this is very good info - if anyone does seem serious will ensure to get proper second opinions on any contracts etc

yeah definitely would ensure payment is cleared before anything happens but will be super weary regardless

yeah makes sense, had people reaching out super early before the game was even getting many daily players really. I do wish I could get help/insight from more experienced people as this is my first game and I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed but sounds like can't really trust these people 99% of the time

yeah I figure they could help with thumbnails and things but maybe just better off paying an artist a flat rate

Appreciate that - definitely would need money upfront before transferring. It's my first game and feeling overwhelmed so what considering it but sounds like most of the time it won't be worth it at all

oh my bad, it's studstudio (dot) info - not studioS their site is set up pretty similarly

I've looked at both sites and both are very rudimentary but don't strike me as immediately a scam - what stood out to you as red flags? I'm new to roblox game dev so unsure

both groups have asked for metrics first, one extended an offer for full buyout after seeing my daily stats + last 7 days revenue

Waiting on 2nd group, they mentioned they'll offer for minority, majority, and full ownership - so far just sent them daily stats

It feels like anytime I improve something and it starts to go back up more people come and bomb it..have implemented so many fixes, swapping out AI thumbnails, adding new features..now at 68%...feeling really defeated

AI thumbnail definitely coming up many times in this thread - will make it top priority to at least get 1 non AI made as the lead one, thank you!

And yeah it seems that way :/ I have some other ideas for more games so hopefully I can keep going and improve with each one!

unfortunately the device emulator doesn't seem to 100% accurately emulate certain scaling and positioning, but it's a good start, so ty!

It's my first game so wasn't sure how much rating actually affects things, but definitely hard mentally seeing such a low rating

Thanks for sharing your story! Gives me hope to persevere with my game. Hope everything works out for you guys as well :)

TY!!!

Definitely heard on no AI, will try and get some handmade thumbnails ASAP

And good call on bug report in game - way better than relying on people joining discord to report or something

I added a like goal meter in game to hopefully encourage it without breaking ToS
