Have you published a game on roblox? It’s been on my to do list of weird cultural experiences for a while (like frontpaging hackernews or trying sturstromming), but last time I looked into it I bounced off installing the editor and getting all the account stuff set up.
Yes! I’ve made short story games (for game jams and the like), silly experiments, and a game that actually got “on the algorithm”.
Anyone who has played Roblox on PC already has the editor installed (called Roblox Studio), it’s always come bundled with the normal executable. If you’re familiar with other game engines (Unity, Unreal, Godot) you’ll feel at home and if not, if you already know how to code Luau is pretty easy to get into.
Publishing experiences has some hurdles that didn’t use to exist (you have to be +17 or ID verify, I believe? The changes didn’t specifically affect me as I already had all of that) because there’s been a certain political pressure put on the platform and they’ve tightened up prerequisites to get your games to the public
