In 2020, I joined Roblox during the pandemic, dreaming of building a game. That project failed — but I didn’t stop. Nearly four years of experimenting, learning, and trying again followed. I even tried fundraising for a Roblox studio, only to be rejected more than 30 times.
Those setbacks led me to avatar items (UGC) — a hobby that unexpectedly became a business. One of my early items went viral, though I only noticed it in 2024. That moment revealed the real potential of this space and became a turning point.
One year later, Topcat has grown into one of the leading fashion creators on Roblox:
• 1,558% year-over-year growth
• Over 1 million monthly items sold
• Sales exceeding those of established global real-world fashion brands
Today, I sat down with @Forbes to share my creator journey on @Roblox, talk about fashion in gaming, and discuss what’s next for Topcat.

W Update - thanks to you and your team!
I just hope this works in practice.
Excited to see this roll out! One our consistent top issues from UGC creators is having their work copied / re-uploaded.
This is the first step (of many) to protect & reward original & creative UGC content on the platform.

Thank you @TopcatGG for creating such a great experience! 🤍 It makes the Roblox catalog much easier to explore, with better ways to search, organize and save your favorite items, plus lots of customization options for creating outfits and taking photos.
It also makes finding and keeping track of your favorite GMARI pieces so much easier! 🤭✨ Definitely worth trying!
