This is literally the most common question being asked.
Publishing your first Roblox game is a rewarding way to earn Robux. Everyone desire right?
You can also share your ideas with the Roblox player community. To be honest, the process are fun and a bit challenging. But publish Roblox game is not that hard. It can be within an hour or take for months. All depend on what type of games and idea you have. Like it can be a simple obstacle course or a complex adventure or something like Dead Rail.
Anyway, in this step-by-step tutorial, I will help you get your game live using Roblox Studio. Let’s get started.
Before you start, prepare yourself …
For sure I assume you have a Roblox account (if not just create one at roblox.com).
The next thing you need to do is install Roblox Studio (download official here) on your computer (Either Window or Mac operating system). A very common question: Can I make Roblox Game on my iPad? The answer is NOOOOOO. Why?You may make a call to Roblox, I guess the Roblox Studio software is quite complicated to implement in iPad.
Just follow the steps and install Roblox Studio on your computer. An stable and fast internet connection is necessary.
Prepare Your Game in Roblox Studio
When you first open the Roblox Studio, you should navigate to the Templates section. There are plenty of pre-developed templates you can choose from. Depend on what type of games you are interested in, pick one of them.
For example, I can choose Suburban template and start making it fun. For details how to make different game play, like how to add part, navigate around, scripting and so on, you can refer to my other free tutorials.
Before publishing the game, you can test your game by press F5 or click Play in the Home tab to test your game in Roblox Studio. Try to fix any errors (check the Output window for messages) and ensure it works as expected.
When you feel satisfied, you can save your project. Go to File > Save to File to save your latest changes locally.
Configure Game Settings
Once your game is almost ready, just navigate in Roblox Studio, click the Home tab, then select Publish to Roblox (or File > Publish to Roblox).
A window will pop up. In the Name field, enter a catchy name (e.g., “The most scary Hide and Seek Roblox game”). Try keep it unique to avoid confusion with other games. Do your own research.
In the Description field, write a short summary (e.g., “This is a game you never want to play before sleep, as it will make you scare all night”). This helps Roblox players know what to expect.
Next, remember select Public under Access Level to make your game available to everyone (or Private if it’s not ready for public play yet).
You can choose what kinds of devices available for the game. And you may switch off the “Team Create”
Publish Your Game
Finally just click “Create” button. Here you go, your game has been published!
Share and Promote Your Game
Now you may wonder how to find your game in Roblox? Well, now you can Log in to roblox.com, click the Create tab, and select Creations to see your published game.
You may noticed that the status of your game is Private. Now you can move your mouse to your game and you should find a button at the top right corner. Click on that you should see an option for making it public:
Great job, now your game should be go Public. Next you can click into the game and do more configurations. Under Configure, there is a Settings button, you can modify the thumbnail. Upload a custom thumbnail (e.g., a screenshot of your game, 256×144 pixels, saved as PNG or JPG) to make it stand out.
Share with Friends:
Now you can able to view the Roblox game. Just copy the game link and share it with friends on Discord, X, Facebook and Instagram. Or any Roblox groups to get initial players!
Tips for Success launching
From my experience for newbie Roblox developer, start with a small game (e.g., a few obstacles) to make publishing easier and quicker. Make it simple. Remember to avoid copyrighted music or images to pass moderation. Use free assets from the Roblox Toolbox or create your own. You can include features like buttons or scripts (e.g., a spinning wheel) to keep players engaged. After that, you can add new levels or fixes based on player feedback to keep your game popular. Always remember it may take time to attract players, as there are millons of Roblox games there, so promote consistently and improve your game over time.
Hope now you can tell publishing a Roblox games is not that difficult. You can keep learning new skills in BloxCreators.com.
