Indie Devlog 1: Starting My FIRST Game!

Subtitles available!
The Roblox game engine is not very good, but what it lacks is made up for in what you receive.
Every game is hosted for free on the Roblox servers and intended for multiplayer games.
You will get much fewer headaches when it comes to multiplayer as a new developer compared to other problems, BUT:
- Roblox is very inefficient (worse performance for fewer assets loaded)
- The work environment is not very intuitive (though it does have a lot of tools to make up for that)
- Third bullet point with more interesting problems
I heard most don't read descriptions, but since you have, you might as well like and subscribe too.
Follow along with the game dev journey, make your own game!
Have a pretty cool day.
New discord server!

That looks incredible so far! If you have the energy, you could add regions of the map that have summer, autumn, winter and spring. That'd make the map look far more interesting, for the selection you could try experimenting with Highlights (they're still in beta iirc), they'll give an outline to whatever you're selecting. PS: I also love tea, I'm drinking one right now

This is an amazing start! I'm a fellow roblox indie developer too, so I really respect the work your putting into this. If I were you, I'd try scripting a biome mechanic, so that the map doesnt feel as unnatural and random like a lego box. You could also make it so that each biome can spawn with a random color variation to add more life to the maps.

Yo bro this is amazing! I know I’m a little late but if you keep this up you’ll be big one day. I also make roblox games, just a lot more simpler than this (in code). I’m probably too late but maybe something you could do for the tiles is see like the “history” of them. Like who controlled it and when they lost/won it. :)

Nawwwh this guy is so underrated. Heres a pieace of advice Deving comes with stress especially indie deving. so if that happens take a break, dont be sad if your game flops because roblox sucks with game recommending, Just create games with an unique idea. Another thing make sure when creating new games put them in a testing phase for feedback it would HIGHLY HIGHLY make the game better chance to be better, get on the home page and successful. Goodluck on your journey, and make sure to remember failure is the key to success.

@Woscar- 8 ай бұрын
I have a recommendation - you may have used parts for the selection box for a specific reason but a better option is to use “Highlights”, idk if there is still a limit on them but a very viable and versatile option. Hope this goes well!

Very well done, it already looks good. But what if instead of having your camera at the top view, you're instead going togive the camera an angle so that you can see the models better. If your camera is perpendicular to the ground, you will not see the depth perception of your map/models very well. Everything else looks nice. We want more!
