ROBLOX IS TEDIOUS 😭

Hello there, fellow developers. I am mince and I recently announced that I am making a huge roblox game named Monsters Ahead. I thought why not make a small game first and launch it for experience. This thought costed me Tedious hours of precious time. See, most of the people say roblox is a kids platform and is solely meant for kids. It's game are childish and they are easy to make. If you ever had that thought. I am sorry because your wrong. Lua is easy but drastically different from other programming languages. It's like a blend of python, javascript and english. It's really different. That made it have a small learning curve. Next the studio itself is different from godot Or unity. It's games are not similar to what we play normally. They have different tones, colours and genres. This makes for a tough time of thinking for ideas. Now to get all this information I had to play, watch and read lot of roblox. I am surprised by how many kids and teenagers are spending their time and money on these games. Take the no.1 roblox game brookhaven RP which is just a map with some items. 0 gameplay. It has hundreds of millions of players and it's cranking millions of dollar per year. Thats just one game. There's hundreds of such games on roblox making tons of money. I wanted to see what I can do on this platform. So I made a tag game. But! You have a roll button that allows you to get random temporary superpowers every time you click it. All of this I wanted to do under a day. Because even though everything is different in robox. I mastered few basics before making this game. Oh boy! It was tough. See, roblox studio does not have a big community on youtube. So your supposed to figure out and solve your problems on your own. That's where many roblox developers quit. It gives you rage and anger. Even, my game broke 1 hour before release. Ok are you serious? I had to speedrun fixing all the errors and it was tough. I didn't want to release the game at that point. I wanted to delete roblox studio, but I figured my way through my problems and launched the game. It's still in beta and has tons of bugs. So, I request you to make an effort and play my game with your friends, colleagues, family or anyone as it's a multiplayer game and tell me your advice of how much worth was my tedious 12 hours.

My brain: your last two posts failed so will this one. We will see 👀
