The Beginner's Guide to Roblox Scripting book (Vol. 1) available for pre-order!
It is restocking sometime mid-October. I rewrote the book to have new images of Roblox studio, updated for 2026, with higher quality paper, so that it's easier for you to read.
It's been out of stock for several months now, but you will be able to get it soon!
Orders will begin shipping mid-October. I've attached some images of the new version to this post. If you pre-order, you will be guaranteed a copy of the book once it's back in stock.
You can now submit a pre-order on our website: scriptsstudios.com/
Game feel matters a lot more for your Roblox game than you might think.
Sure, AI can make a system, but how effective is that system at actually making your players want to keep playing?
I took my friend's AI coded system and revamped it to make it feel better.
See the before and after.
The biggest Roblox update I want is to see my average playtime increase by the hour, rather than waiting 1-2 days to see it.
Right now, I make an update and I have to wait 1-2 days to see if it actually increases playtime. Session time, sure, we have live performance, but playtime is more important for the algo. Session time isn’t the same as playtime.
An update like this will allow me to iterate on playtime basically 8 times a day rather than 1 time every 1-2 days.
if your game is showing bad stats, just accept that your game in its current form isn't worthy of good stats yet.
and that's okay. because it's next form will be even better. you will make it better.
Create a game from scratch (no templates, your own idea, not a reskin of an existing one). Fail. Update. Get home recs. Get 2 ccu from home recs. Fail more. Update even more. Repeat until 1K+ ccu.
You’ll learn much much much more about the fundamentals of game design doing it this way than you will otherwise.
I think of AI as a speed and force multiplier on what you already know. AI amplifies the quality of the person directing it.
If AI can do the thing (scripting/building/modeling/ui/etc.) better and faster than you, then what's the point of learning anything? AI will just do it.
My answer to this question is that learning is about building new mental models to see reality. Yes, AI can perform complex calculations, can figure out what to do next, has believable answers to most of your questions, can write code extremely fast and make it work with a single prompt.
But, at the end of the day, you have to be able to differentiate between what is a good response and what is a bad response. That is a skill called judgement and it's overwhelmingly important in society today.
In fact, judgement is why most Roblox developers never see much success.
Because judgment is not about "AI make this game for me ok publish boom 100k ccu"
Judgement is about "AI make this game for me using these specific instructions. I want the economy to function like this. I understand that one approach is doing it this way, but doing it that way has long term retention implications, so instead, let's do it this other way. I want you to code the DataStore modules in this way, ensuring that you cache ........ Tell me about your plans on how you'll code this before you write any code so I can review it."
And then even after it's done writing all the code, realizing that some parts of the game still need improvement and iterating.
Judgement is about knowing when the AI's response is garbage, and when it's good. It's about knowing what about your game needs to improve.
And you know the best way to develop judgement? By learning and doing it yourself.
The best way to be able to tell if AI's script is bad is by having the experience of already scripting, making mistakes, writing bad code yourself and realizing how to fix it.
Everyone has access to AI. Not everyone has the best judgement for the best outcome.
The top scripters are able to glance at AI code and realize all the long-term flaws with it, and reprompt it using better instructions (or just rewrite it themselves).
So, learning is still worth it.
Released a game a month ago. Few months in development. Took it to 1.2k ccu peak (so far). Released another game last week. Probably going above 1k ccu soon. Releasing two more shortly today.
Right now, I don’t need motivation to work. I need motivation to NOT work.
Most of the time, it’s the opposite. So this is a really interesting feeling.
Agree very much
Entrepreneurs burn out faster than employees because they don't have somebody telling them when to be off vs on.
A construction worker putting in 60 hour weeks who drinks beer all weekend has less burnout risk than a 27 year old running an agency because the construction worker knows that he can be totally offline when he gets home.
Being "always on" gives you zero time for your stamina bar to fully recover. The work is menial enough that you don't notice you're totally depleting yourself until your nervous system shuts down.
You effectively have two options here:
- Learn how to shut your brain off (easier said than done)
- Change your approach to work
The best approach is a mix of the two.
You can chad ram your way through work with stimulants for maybe 5 years before it really catches up to you. Effective in the beginning but unsustainable.
You need to learn to approach your work in a parasympathetic state. Most of us spend 90% of our time in the sympathetic state when we're really only meant to rely on that fight or flight maybe 10% of the time.
You think you're getting "in the zone" but you're really just cortisol-maxxing and burning through all of your body's most important resources.
Save the chad ramming for when it really counts. Your day to day goal should be "how relaxed can I be while doing what needs to get done?"
Don't waste your life's potential getting burnt out before 30.
