@0megalvl3vent @elonmusk @AutismCapital oh now we care about the DOGE receipts??? 🤣🤣

@elonmusk @AutismCapital Doing this on X was a bad idea, you should have contacted him personally and you haven't even mentioned what you deem wasteful, you should start there.

🚨 NEW: Trump speaks on Elon coming out against the BBB “I would have won Pennsylvania regardless of Elon…I’m very disappointed with Elon. He knew this bill better than anyone and he only developed a problem when he found out I would cut the EV mandate… When he left he said the most beautiful things about me, he hasn’t said anything bad yet but I’m sure that will be next…I’ve helped Elon a lot… Elon worked hard at DOGE and I think he misses the place…I think he got out there and he’s no longer in this beautiful Oval Office…it’s not just Elon, I think when some people leave they miss it so badly they develop a type of TDS…some embrace it and some become hostile.”

@FineNDanDee literally his backstory

Does this happen to a villain at some point?

@KingGossard @Cm_0ff @bulbdev you're slipping in "at the expense" again. how does offering a bribe at first exit prevent you from adding good mechanics to the game itself?

@Froznsun @Cm_0ff @bulbdev The anti-quit bribery and the timed gifts are godawful game design meant to encourage addiction and raise minimum play-session time at the expense of good gameplay and mechanics.

F*CK IT... This is exactly WHY your Roblox game has bad engagement and how to fix it. Here’s the 5-step playbook I used to increase my Roblox game's playtime BY 40% 🧵A thread: #ROBLOX #RobloxDevs

@KingGossard @Cm_0ff @bulbdev but how

@Froznsun @Cm_0ff @bulbdev By changing the game so it socks.

@KingGossard @Cm_0ff @bulbdev ok but where does "at the expense of" come from. if the game sucks the game sucks. no amount of marketing gimmicks will change that.

@Froznsun @Cm_0ff @bulbdev The advice, if implemented, would tank the quality of the game itself. The advice is toxic as fuck relying on cheap marketing gimmicks at the expense of the game being fun to play and enjoyable.

@Tranchus @oreosposting @plasma_node also, if the game sucks the kid will just quit anyways

"if a 10 year old kid doesn't know how to play your game in 15 seconds you failed"

@Tranchus @oreosposting @plasma_node x.com/Froznsun/statu…

@BakonSuper @bulbdev so if valve put something like this in TF2 where they offer you a chest the first time you try to exit, is the game automatically slop?

@Froznsun @bulbdev Pretty self explanatory

@consarno @BlurF1984 @CrimsonSmasher @niitroxen @plasma_node the only thing I'd maybe see your argument on is the rewards for not exiting the game. probably wouldn't put something like that in mine.. but if it doesn't cost any money I don't see it as that predatory, especially if its just a daily/first time exit thing.

@consarno @BlurF1984 @CrimsonSmasher @niitroxen @plasma_node but you're acting like it's mutually exclusive. you can make something u have passion for, AND try to make it popular. fortnite is fortnite because epic put work into the UX & made building feel intuitive & easy to master. that kinda stuff is what OP is talking about.

@nekotune_ @bulbdev Slightly agree with this, and your other comments in this thread, but I'd say this type of player is in the minority compared to players that want instant gratification when they press play. Especially in 2025 😅

@bulbdev This only works for a very specific target audience. Many people prefer games that start slow, but increasingly reward you more the more you play. It's good advice, but doesn't work for all kinds of games.

@BlurF1984 @CrimsonSmasher @niitroxen @plasma_node there's "creating stuff" and there's "creating successful stuff". OP made a thread to help with people doing the latter.

@CrimsonSmasher @niitroxen @plasma_node Meh that’s reductionist about creating stuff

@consarno @CrimsonSmasher @BlurF1984 @niitroxen @plasma_node cool, and this thread never said you have to charge a single dollarydoo for anything. youre getting mad over nothing.

@CrimsonSmasher @BlurF1984 @niitroxen @plasma_node their premises are simple, but they have complexities that gradually pop up without charging you 50 quadrillion dollarydoos case in point, i spent a worrisome amount of my own childhood dissecting crash twinsanity to find every glitch i could

@plasma_node @niitroxen any chance you might be in a feedback loop of bad/controvertial takes & twitter likes?

@niitroxen It's a feedback loop. People are spending less effort and getting more brain rotted, and in response developers are putting less effort in and posting shit like OP did

@Levit5tion @bulbdev more engagement != a worse game

@BakonSuper @bulbdev can you explain how following any of these tips will lead to guaranteed slop games?

@bulbdev You're the reason that Roblox games are slop. I hope you're happy.

@Cm_0ff @bulbdev you could make the best game ever and get no engagement because your UX and player retention mechanics suck. that's what this thread is about & it's actually good advice. has nothing to do with the quality of the game itself..

@bulbdev These mobile-like strats are the reason Roblox is getting worse and worse in quality. What about if instead of trying to captivate young players with whatever this is we actually try to make a good game that, unlike slop, can be creative and well made for once?

@plasma_node This is good advice though💀for increasing engagement at least. If you want more people to play your game, a smooth FTUE is important; and that's true for all games not just on roblox.

@MatthewPless3 @KidBomb4 @insaneposes probably both tbh

@Froznsun @KidBomb4 @insaneposes Like shonen fans in Japan or around the world?
