I Bought A Roblox Game for $5.. (IT WAS WORTH IT)

all right guys here's the dev king here welcome back to a brand new video now in today's video i'm actually going to be explaining why i bought this game right here for 2 000 robux and basically what i'm gonna do with the game in this video but let me explain first how this all happened so basically i was in my discord server and i saw this listing right here but this guy says he's selling a full game called find the button he said he's looking for at least 1k robux or more which is obviously pretty cheap for an entire game and then he goes the game includes nine maps a donate to ui button a gfx icon all that stuff and uh he leaves he left a link to the game below so obviously i checked it out and as you can see here's the game itself it's pretty simple concept it's just like finding the button right it's like a bunch of different rooms and then basically you have to find the button inside each room and then you go on the next level next level let me show you what i mean though so as you can see i'm in the first level here and what you can do is uh find the button and uh oh where is it uh it's right there okay i've already done this level in the second level i think too so it's pretty simple but also actually kind of cool i mean like i know it's basic but i feel like this could be you know kind of fun to play it for the first time around so like i said pretty simple but also i think it could make some money so what i did was i dm the guy and told him i was interested in buying his game so he ended up responding and then i made an offer so i asked him if he'd be willing to sell it for 2k robux and he was like yeah that would be really good i was like all right awesome bro then i basically paid him the robux and as you can see he sent me the file all right now you're probably wondering why did i actually buy this now honestly part of it was just for the video but i thought it'd be kind of fun to see if i could like make some money off of buying a game i realized there's some you know some things you can do to monetize it like for example you can make a reveal hint button which basically gives you like a hand which costs like 25 bucks or whatever and then it gives you a hint on where the button is because it actually gets pretty hard once you get to the harder levels then i'll have another button that says uh reveal button and that's basically just kind of so you can skip the level if you give up and then you go to the next one and that'll be like hundred robux or something but basically that can be the way to make money right so i thought i would do it all right so what i'm gonna do right now is actually start doing that i already opened the file so i know it is the real game all right now as you can see we've got the game right here i'm gonna go and open up the game and see how it looks all right so first impressions uh the map you know what i mean it's it's not bad i mean i already know what it looked like kind of but as you can see we have about 10 stages here and let's see what the workspace looks like oh no uh okay so it's it's not very organized i mean it is actually enough so that's probably fine but we want to make it a little bit cleaner and then basically just kind of make it so we have those game passes and then what i'm actually going to do is actually sponsor the game and see if we can make a profit right i think it'll be kind of fun now by the way i don't condone buying games i mean if you want to do it do it at your own risk i'm not you know saying everyone should go do this or anything like i said i'm just trying to do it for the video also just for fun to see what happens it was pretty cheap so i thought why not all right so i'm gonna go and get rid of this admin real quick i don't want that and then also whenever actually in the game it doesn't actually have a leaderboard which tells you what level you're on i feel like if we had that that'd be pretty interesting so that people could like you know kind of see that it is possible to get on their levels because it does get pretty hard i mean people might give up they're like wait a minute this is impossible but then see someone else another level and they're like okay maybe it is you know what i mean so i also want to make sure the scripts all work i want to make sure i'm going to test that and then i need to also make it work on mobile all right also let me change this dui real quick i'm not really a big fan of this our donation gui just delete that in general invite main things so you can invite your friends i'm assuming that's what this is yeah i don't really want that though i'm gonna get rid of this as well all right so what i'm gonna do right now is actually just kind of organize the game a little bit make sure everything like kind of looks cleaner so what i'm going to do right now is actually just kind of recode this real quick it probably shouldn't take that long maybe 30 minutes all right so just about the same amount of lines of code i did what that guy did in that script like he had this script in every single button right here i did what he did in that script or literally every single uh button and now it'll be really easy to actually keep track of what stage the player is on which is perfect and then i'll be able to actually put that on the leaderboard up here so we'll do that right now all right so i think i just coded that it was pretty simple maybe you want to test it out real quick and press the button and okay stage one okay we need to just add one to it all right so now we got that um now we can actually add those game passes that i wanted to make so what i'm gonna do right now is go ahead and actually upload those or create those and then get the ids for them and start coding them okay wait actually i forgot to publish the game real quick so we need to do that uh let's go ahead and publish the game as just like find the button right i think that's good enough all right there we go perfect now to actually save onto roblox and now if i want to make people play it all i have to do is make the game public but i'm not going to do that just yet but we'll do that soon all right so as you can see we have the developer products here if you guys don't know the difference between developer products and game passes developer products are basically things you can buy multiple times and then game passes you basically only by one time the only difference really what we're gonna do is make this one called uh reveal him we'll make that 25 robux all right there we go and then we'll go ahead and do another one which will be um reveal button and that's basically just like a you know skip level kind of because it'll show you exactly what the button is but also i would just do like a skip level right but i feel like be more interesting whenever they're actually like playing the game to actually find the button instead of just you know going to next level because i'll never know what the button was so i will do a reveal button all right and there we go we got the two dev products made now i'm going to copy these ids and put them in my script all right so now i was going to scripting these and make some guise for it so that way they work all right so i finally got that show button thing working i actually got rid of the reveal hint because i feel like it would be kind of annoying to write out every single thing but also i don't want people to buy that because they might kind of give it away so i have the button working and i'll show you guys how that works real quick so as you can see if i hit the show button right here it uh prompts a little product i can buy it this is the test purchase we'll hit buy now and as you can see this little red arrow pops up right above the button so it's pretty simple and they can buy it again at any stage so as you can see if i want to buy it here and see show button there's the arrow pops up so it's i mean it pretty much shows it i mean i feel like anyone at the brain will be able to tell what that is also this level right here is actually kind of different because like people could actually not know where the button is basically this level has like a little door in here the guy made i guess and i think if you click the door right there puts you inside this little like hotel room which is pretty cool and then you can click on these papers and then you can see the buttons right under there but um you know hopefully people understand that i guess that'll be kind of part of the challenge but we'll see how that works but anyways um that's pretty much that i think the game looks pretty good so far honestly i've done everything i wanted to at the leaderboard the scripts working and i got the dev products working so that's good now the last thing i want to do is actually upload like the game art for the game real quick i need to test on mobile actually so i'm going to do that too and as you can see if we go into configure start place right there we can actually upload the game icon which is that thing he gave us honestly i kind of like the game icon it's pretty it's pretty clean yeah like it's not bad at all in my opinion actually kind of like it alright we upload that right there uh upload there we go also max player count uh 50 why is it at 50 oh gosh um i think i'll probably do like maybe i don't know 15 probably 10 honestly it's probably good all right here we got the first one by the way guys if you're ever making a thumbnail for your game a little life hack all right uh so what you can do is you go to the emulator in the test tab and then hit device and then you can actually like put the resolution on 1280 by 720 and that's like the perfect size for the thumbnail so i'm going to take i'm going to take a few on different maps and then i'll upload those then you just screenshot and there you go there are actually some really cool maps on here by the way guys you want to play the game the link in the description below so go check it out and uh i hope you guys enjoy it it's kind of fun actually so i think you guys might all right there we go let's upload this real quick and now we let those upload and then we should be good all right so i have a little description right here as you can see i said welcome to find the button in this game you look for a button to advance to the next stage it gets harder and harder each stage so good luck and uh yeah it looks good to me all right so perfect now we should test it on mobile make sure everything works i'm not sure if it will because like some buttons are like kind of under like like under like like the cloud right there so i'm not sure you can tap that on mobile but i'll try real quick yeah it worked okay there it is i never planned mobile this is so weird it's right there does it wait it's kind of hard oh it's happening okay so it doesn't work okay cool so it is kind of difficult to find honestly and tap but as you can see there's a button again tap it yeah okay i got it so it is working but yeah so it does work which is pretty cool also the reason why the button's not here because i didn't publish the game yet so i need to actually publish that so it updates but as you can see it all should work just fine i'm excited to see how this works all right so we're going to do the last final publish i'm pretty sure that should be it honestly so what we're going to do is actually spend 10k robots on that actually i'll do a case i've spent 2k on the game sort of like a total budget of 10k all right the game is gonna be public perfect all right now let's go and test the let's actually test it one more time let me go ahead and buy my own dev product and see if that works all right so as you can see show button i'll click it oh it's still loading i think okay there we go show button buy now and okay it pops up okay it does work that's the game uh so let's go and launch it i guess i'm not sure if we're gonna profit here honestly actually i might sell admin because that gives you a lot of free robux okay yeah honestly i don't know how to explain it but basically if you sell admin and it's like for like a thousand something like people will buy it like every once in a while i get someone who buys it and that just makes you a lot of money so you might as well do it right so if people want to spend money they can so i'm going to sell like the vip commands that way it's not too people they still do have some ammo commands and that way i can make some money off that too all right i think it's going to hit by now and i believe it ranked me okay yes even permanent vip okay so it doesn't work just fine people can buy admin and they don't want to do anything too crazy with it um but yeah all right boys well here we go this is it uh i'm gonna go ahead and sponsor here in a second i'm honestly kind of nervous for some reason i don't know why i mean it's only 8k robux so it's not the biggest deal if i lose money but still it's just kind of nerve-racking every time you do it all right so as you can see you've got the game right here find the button it looks pretty nice everything looks nice so we're going to go ahead and do is click on little gear hit sponsor also if you guys don't know what sponsoring is basically where you just put a sponsored ad right here in the middle of games on like the front page all right so we're gonna put phone tablet computer uh all three of those i think will do fine because you can you know do everything on each like i said we're gonna do 8k each so let's go ahead and do some quick math so 8 000 divided by three okay that's not a good number so we'll do just 2 600. so let's go ahead and hit the tablet one first as you can see we hit run we're gonna get an estimated almost three million impressions which is not bad honestly for only 2600 bucks pretty decent when you think about it so yeah that's just for that let's go ahead and hit yes okay we're in all right so now we need all the other ones 2600 robux i'll see a computer only get 5000 impressions but still they're good uh you know it's different platform different types of people playing all right then on phone with another 2600 and we get five million impressions on phone that's a lot cheese but here we go on the phone and yes all right so now we got the ads running our sponsors running on all three platforms besides console because who likes console anyways um but yeah now essentially what we do is we wait a little bit and then we can go in the game and see if people join so i'll go and hop in the server real quick because i know people will i'll give like 10 minutes and we'll see what happens all right so they're working as you can see we already have impressions on each platform no clicks yet though i guess we're just kind of lame no one likes the game but we'll get some eventually probably um but we need to make 2k robux actually wait a minute we just put a cane to add okay we need to make 10k books of profit honestly do i think we'll do it oh someone joined uh strong sistah oh she clicked it she clicked it okay she's on stage two now so she's actually playing the game just how we wanted so that's perfect but yeah all right guys so it has been about two days 48 hours now sponsors only take 24 hours so i'm not sure why i waited 48 hours but who cares let's go and check the stats as you can see first thing we got here is 2500 visits so kind of low but we could still profit who knows um and also we have 32 favorites kind of cool dislike ratio about 50 all right so i put it on daily as you can see we got visits per day so this is a thousand versus on the first day thousand three hundred and second day and this is today pretty low only 104. so pretty like i said um visits by age who cares about that average visit length is actually kind of interesting got uh total minutes about six minutes on average i mean so that's all right i guess all right robux revenue what we all want to see i know it's kind of hard to read this graph so i'm not gonna look at it let me put it on hourly actually yeah as you can see there's not much data so it just looks like big spikes so it's kind of ugly to look at um but we can go and look right here this data table and see what we earned all right so here we go boys all right so we did not profit as you can see we got 800 bucks in the first day androids in the second day and only 100 today so i don't think anyone even bought the the game pass for the admin which kind of sucks because i thought that would make some money but obviously it didn't and the game kind of flopped but you know what i mean boys we made 1700 robux and you know hopefully this shows you that you can't just expect to make money on any random crap game not saying the game's crap or anything like that you know it's a pretty pretty great top tier game you know maybe you guys will enjoy the game links description below if you want to play it so you can check it out if you want but yeah that's pretty much it though guys hope you enjoyed the video be sure to leave like if you enjoyed subscribe if you're new and
