How much are your games making? How hard are they to create vs a web app? Are most of the games made by professionals or just kids looking for more robux?

- bryanrasmussen 6y agoFrom my perspective, as a programmer dad who looked a bit at the game making situation in roblox about a year ago, I definitely got the feeling that games were not made by professional programmers but my feeling is also that has started to change in the last year. My feeling was basically based on the tooling for the platform being awful, and some script I saw that was being passed around as boilerplate for new game development that was one of the biggest plates of spaghetti ever made! My feeling on it changing is stuff like this article https://medium.com/@OverHash/roblox-development-in-visual-studio-code-b3010c3d0181 https://medium.com/@OverHash/roblox-development-in-visual-st... and other people doing things about sharing workflows and tooling improvements that reminds me of when some professional programmers first started to write JavaScript a long time ago. But that's just a feeling I have for the situation, from the outside looking in.
