Yeah, this reads like someone has some internal problems to investigate… She literally has a bag over her head as some sort of breathing system? It looks terrible & creepy, not in a good way. The trailer seems to keep this trend of female fashion, whereas every dude is in full battle regs.

Also, it reminds me of the Peter Molyneux game from 2012 with a giant cube.

Yes, edited now. Thank you.

Yup. For most kids, it can be exploitative because of the restrictions around withdrawing funds, the super vast majority of the audience is under age, many games have gacha models (gambling). I did get to make & work on games relevant to my kids, so that was very cool.

On the whole, I’m glad I’ve left that area of the industry for now. I’d prefer not to go back (only did about a year / 12 in my career). There are great companies in that space trying, but it’s not easy.

I’ve worked at a professional studio (+100 employees) that specializes in Roblox.

It’s very strange how that side of the industry works. Some people can make a killing just on the marketplace side, like providing assets for others (e.g. someone told me they made $200k/yr independently creating assets).

However, the vast majority of games & creators make nothing, or they make Roblox but now enough to withdraw funds into real money (something like 95% of creators fall into this category). It’s also hard to design for Roblox, because it’s like TikTok for games. What works there is somewhat unique to Roblox itself.

It could have changed since I worked in that field, but it’s a very topsy-turvy side of the industry.
