My Roblox Developer Story: How I Earned Over $10K on Roblox?

[00:02] Hello everyone, I'm a Game developer with over 5 years of experience, about five games and tens of thousands of dollars in income, but it wasn't always like this. Today, I'll tell you my story. The story of incredible ups and downs to the ground with

[00:15] such force that it's hard to imagine. And even harder to survive. I can confidently say that it will be extremely interesting and exciting. Sit back comfortably, we're starting our journey through time. I'd like to ask you to like

[00:27] video in advance. If you don't like it, video in advance. If you don't like it, you can remove it at the end. It's the

[00:39] schoolboy with a laptop for 12,000 rubles dreams of becoming a game developer and making money on it. Everything he has is immeasurable, even a grandiose goal at that time. While others just play games for free, he decided to start

[00:52] developing them. This feeling is a desire for something transcendental, something that others don't think about. The ridicule of your surroundings. Chiva's intentions are what makes you think. Maybe it's not my thing. Why should I study this? It's better to play Minecraft with friends. I won't be able to do it. I wo

[01:07] n't be able to. In addition to moral barriers, there were also physical ones, such as the lack of a normal computer, a wind in his wallet, he didn't even have the opportunity to buy some kind of lesson in a programming language,

[01:21] but having collected his thoughts, a fourteen-year-old teenager began a path that many would not have risked, because it would seem that game development is one of the samoslovaya hobbies that one could come up with, and how many problems lie ahead, what am

[01:34] I? Let's fire at this ourselves, because

[01:46] my first game, of course, after Minecraft, was Robl for me, it was crazy. You play games for guys like you, I decided to start my path as a developer, it is here to realize the beginning of the path, there is a goal, it

[01:58] begins to replenish at that time on YouTube there was no word about Lock Studio, there were two legends, BDA, with whom I began my Game de path in Roblox, fgot and atira Ivan. Unfortunately, atira Ivan outgrew it and abandoned his channel. But f Got everything worked out,

[02:14] he rose to the heights and quite deservedly to these two people. I am very grateful, because who knows, if not for them, Maybe I wouldn't have become who I am them, Maybe I wouldn't have become who I am now. My first game was GTA San

[02:26] Andreas. All I knew at that time was to take things from anywhere and insert them, if anyone does n't know, into the side - this is a platform where people upload their finished models and builds. The concept of scripts and programming was not touched by me. You can't

[02:38] imagine how much soul was put into this game. It's frankly simple and trashy. But this is the first experience. Let's not be harsh. I play for the

[02:55] stronger motivation from this, but as everyone knows, motivation is a passing thing. That's what happened with my first game. It was closed and put on hold for a very long time. There was one reason. This project was too serious for me at that time.

[03:08] But this did not give me a reason to give up. There scripts from foreign YouTubers and tried to understand what was written there, how it works,

[03:21] and you know. Guys, I was so angry that I was n't born in America. It's so easy for them to learn this language because it would be understandable. They spoke it all their lives. English and programming languages ​​they are conditionally a little similar, which will not say

[03:36] about me, I would not call myself the smartest in school and English was clearly not my strong point, but with great difficulty I began to understand what is responsible for what And you know, the progress of my studies increased exponentially after six months I realized that I was ready to

[03:50] start a new project, you know, guys, honestly, it even nostalgia for those times that can never be returned. Appreciate, guys, what returned. Appreciate, guys, what you have

[04:07] project. But if you scroll to the very bottom of the channel and you will see that my path to YouTube began with this project and you know, this is probably the most heartfelt project I have ever done, this is the game that I wanted to make from the very

[04:22] beginning, it's the same GTA, only a slightly reworked America RP - it was a role-playing game like SAMP, where you can earn money in different group and keep the whole city in fear, or become an honest citizen

[04:37] and join the ranks of the police. I was very inspired by this The idea of ​​developing it was too complicated because I did everything myself. I didn't have a person who could solve my problem. You seem to be trying, doing it, spending a lot of

[04:50] time, and at one point a hole appears in the code that breaks the entire game. If it is not fixed, then you can actually abandon this project until you understand programming even more deeply and even if you break your head, I don't

[05:06] know what to do, but God bless it. This project was released. After a year of work on it, the first Robux came in. This is a kind of game currency that can then be exchanged for dollars. Players started coming in. My Discord grew enormously: 100, 200, 500,

[05:19] 1,000 members. In half a month, a ton of work was done: development, streams on the game, calls with admins and project leaders, bug fixes. I remind you that it's 12k. I sat for 5 minutes waiting for Rox Studio to open, but the project was worth it. You can't

[05:34] imagine what the atmosphere was like there. What comfort. All this made me think that after all, such a colossal work wasn't in vain. and at one point, uh, there was a hacker attack on the project and I had to close the game until the

[05:47] errors were fixed and when you try to fix the error and it doesn't work, with each passing hour, players get indignant, some leave, others support you, but after 2 days, the error was finally fixed, but the worst thing

[06:00] happened. Later, the game stopped gaining activity as before and I don't know what it is connected with, but the online arrow was not up and down, dismorale, those old thoughts again crept into my head, after all, it's not mine, not in this

[06:24] guys, my life just stopped, the emotions inside cannot be described, this is GRU, anger, confusion, apathy all rolled into one, in addition to this, other problems arose in addition to this, other problems arose

[06:38] continue, how can I help in my country? And I decided to pour all this into a new project, Military Tyon, which I made in a month, but unfortunately, it was not a success. Although I poured all the money I had, there was zero sense in it, no matter how you look at it, the

[06:51] project was relatively raw and definitely needed to change something for a whole year. I spent my life searching for myself, working in life, trying to make money on the Internet, there were too many losses, but I'd probably better make a

[07:04] separate video about this because it would be unfair to tell it all in 20 seconds. Exactly one year after creating military taikons, which I earned for a year, I'm buying a computer. Yes, guys, this is a dream, this is what

[07:19] I was striving for. It would break a lot of barriers and it would definitely strengthen my ability to do something new. I'm starting to work on the caviar of the militaries, secretly made a lot of unique systems, a huge map, gave life in the game, but

[07:35] all my movements did not give results and I fall into depression. But at one point, with the children of players, 50 starts playing, I start pouring all over YouTube. I don't understand what is connected with the World Cup, what prompted such growth, because back then I still didn't

[07:51] understand what CS algorithms are, how O works, what and how. This was my first game that began to at least gain something. Well, the next day, 100 players, a week later, 500, the peak online guys was 1,200 people at the same time. Guys, I can

[08:07] say that my life turned upside down. From head to toe, it's an understatement. I proved to myself that I'm capable of something. It wasn't all in vain. Besides online, a lot of money fell on me. The game brought in $2,000 a month,

[08:21] while in my city, at the factory, you could earn, well, $300 at most. This success intoxicated me. I abandoned YouTube. I made updates but didn't develop. I got into a comfort zone and, to be honest, for the first time I had a blast. But

[08:35] after 3 months, the game started to drop. First, $1,000 a month. Then $500. First, $1,000 a month. Then $500. Then $300. And I was like, "Stop, wait, what should I do?" And all my successes in resurrecting the game were dismal. Besides, I entered

[08:48] university and moved to a big city. Yes, a big city has great opportunities, but also great expenses. Until the last moment, I doubted whether I did the right thing. Why do I need to doubted whether I did the right thing. Why do I need to study and have other thoughts.

[09:09] starting to work on a new project, GTA Tyon, which has gained such strong growth in 2 weeks that I honestly was already thinking about withdrawing my documents from university, but I tried to approach such matters with a cool head. Everything. My income by December 25th was

[09:23] $10,000 a month, no guys. This is not a joke. I'm a simple kid from a small town. I climbed a small step to success and I walked this entire path myself. All the models, all the scripts, all the design. I did everything myself because, as before, I

[09:38] enjoyed it. And yet, deep down, I understood that this was still my hobby rather than a source of income, and I was very grateful to life, so to speak, that this turned out to be my income. If you take Military Ton, when an income of

[09:53] $2,000 hit me, then here specifically I was like, uh, but what's the beauty of our life? No matter how high you fly, sooner or later you have to crash to the ground, and this is the lot of the strong. To survive such moments, this is what happened to me. My

[10:07] game account was deleted. [ __ ], guys, I swear to you. I remember this evening as if it were yesterday. I'm walking with my friends, I open my phone, I want to monitor the statistics. And I am greeted by this damned inscription. It's hard to describe the emotions. It's just

[10:22] inscription. It's hard to describe the emotions. It's just like a snowball, uh, which flies with such now You will be dragged in I was banned for a mistake I made a year ago guys it is very painful because 5 years of my life were simply crossed out and the most

[10:36] offensive is that I did not even have time to withdraw my income, namely 5,000 dollars that fell to me in 15 days I was left with zero in my pocket and very strong despair My hobby, my life, my income collapsed in an instant and the most offensive is that this is the

[10:50] last chapter and that's it This is happening now no matter how much I wish that in this video there was a sixth chapter where it would be about the fact that yes I got up with I returned everything Well, it will not be, but you need to look for the positives in everything and deep down I am glad that

[11:04] it happened For the simple reason that I got into a very strong comfort zone and I literally did not want to do anything, that is, elementary to make some kind of update I just don’t know I wasted all this money

[11:19] and everything that was connected with it and did not get pleasure from it anymore and who knows what would have led me If my account had not been deleted And now I am as energetic as then exactly 5 years ago when I started my shady path

[11:35] and yes guys This is my story ame de developer Sorry that the video tried to somehow describe it all correctly because it would be unfair to tell it in 3 minutes because this is my life, my

[11:52] different moments of this life guys, of course, I had to cut this story very much because it would be an hour if anyone is interested You can write part uh Well, we'll wait and I hope that

[12:07] someday I will release a video with the sixth chapter I was with you little success to everyone I wish no one to get into a similar situation to look for the positives in everything Bye everyone
