The Story of Roblox's First Millionaire Devs

this is a Simo 3089 the creator of jailbreak and one of the first ever millionaires on the Roblox platform but wait a minute how did he get so successful for this we have to go back 10 years 10 years I don't even know the first day that Asimo would log on to Roblox and change the platform forever he had an early Obsession of building creating and modeling making high quality games and one of his first popular games was welcome to the longest easy Obby in Roblox oh wow this is actually really low oh my God back then Lobby games were one of the most popular things on the platform and Asimo decided to hop on the trend and make something even better than regular Obby games you know what I just realized a SEMO isn't alone he had a dance partner by the name of bad CC you see before a C1 bass CC partnered they both were releasing games and Simo saw batsy's talent and bad CC saw a CMOS talent and from there is when their hit Roblox game Vault was born a game that is inspired by Tron Disney really whopping 9.4 million visits with two people playing wow this game was an extremely popular game in 2016 which even won dozens of blocksies back then which also made this game very influential in the space but soon the game would kind of start dying out as the developers CMO and bat CC stopped making a lot of updates on it and started to focus on other projects well today is still playable but is mostly kind of broken it was beginning to look like it was the end for a Simo and bad CC as they stopped working on vault full time right well you are wrong after a few months break a simu and bat CC came together on January 6 2017 to make the next biggest hit on Roblox College Joker at the time Asimo was just improving his modeling skills and just building a casual map to see where it would go and eventually he made an entire city a prison and a full-fledged map at the time sibo thought jailbreak would only get 10 000-ish players or less and probably die out in the first few months so basically this project was kind of just for the fun of it and to just improve his building skills you weren't expecting the game to be so big and we wrote a lot of the code or built the map we really thought the game would only last a few months at best on April 21st 2017 simu and bat CC finally released Jailbreak on a very late night and then the next morning it became an instant success the Simo made jailbreak so unique that it brought dozens of new and different Roblox YouTubers to come together to make videos on jailbreak as well as that it has passed a lot of games on Steam including GTA 5. this is the first game we've ever seen to have clean car physique amazing lighting extremely pleasing UI to look at very clean prison and just a very polished game at the time the game was mostly empty with just one car one robbery not many weapons and mostly not really many places to go to game at the time was in beta and was not finished before they updated the more popular they got to the point where Roblox started coming up on news channel as well as jailbreak coming up on one of the most biggest news articles in the world King jailbreak the biggest hit Roblox has ever seen and bringing huge new opportunities for Roblox which no other game has ever been able to do before fast forward a few months SEMO worked very hard on the 2017 winter update and when they finally came on after all of that work all of the content provided every thing new the community went crazy as we get closer January 2018 they introduced Rocket Fuel a game-changing mechanic which kept raising the bar of what Roblox could do as well as that jailbreak is the only game on the platform to win 14 blocksies in a row in just one block scene that is crazy which then made jailbreak one of the first games ever to reach 100 000 concurrent players so surpassing 1 billion visits in just half a year not for long because not every King lasts on the throne on the end of 2018 the simulators and adopt me started to take over and you see once you play something for so long you kind of get bored of it that's what kind of happened with jailbreak players were getting really bored of the game as mostly it was getting repetitive with not really anything new and so jailbreak was slowly fading away from everyone's mind and was kind of just seen as a trend but guess what when 2019 came SEMO decided to start doing weekly updates again to rebuild the height of jailbreak and those weekly updates changed the game forever it was a huge year for jailbreak expanding the map redoing all the robberies giving us new content to look forward to every week we have never seen a plane work on Roblox so smoothly made Gilbert come back right up to the top once again fast forward a few months and this was the peak moment of Joe Brick's popularity in April 4 2020 Bill breaks surpassed 560 000 concurrent players playing making it the most played Roblox game ever for one week how did so many players come back though Asimo is actually very smart because 2020 was the time of lockdown when everyone is home and that is when he decided to do roblox's biggest live event till this day oh my gosh wow yeah more of a pirate is that different I don't play this game enough did it look like this before what's the update bringing back dozens and I mean hundreds even new YouTubers to the community breaking jailbreak loads of attention that it hasn't had ever in its past years popularity but something weird happened you see Creek craft one of the most influential jewelry YouTubers in the space quits which made everyone wonder why did he quit at the time a new game by the name of piggy launched and started to gain a lot of popularity and it's not toxic in general is a very relaxing game to play because you see jailbreak was a very toxic game this was his response as to why he will never come back I I just I I don't like I love the game but I don't like playing it anymore there's just it's too toxic there's too many stream snipers there's too many hackers and exporters there were dozens of other YouTubers that started to fade away from jailbreak but even without creecraft and all those other YouTubers quitting jailbreak the 2020 winner update brought back a lot of hype once again shimo is always happy to introduce brand new things to the game not a lot of players barely see instead of a live event azimo decided I want to do something different Joe Brick needs something new and very exciting so what did he do a Nascar event [Music] one of the biggest car companies in the world collabing with jailbreak now this was a very smart move from Asimo because what it did to jailbreak is bring an entire new car Community within the game then demo picked up on and started to add more detailed Vehicles by doing five days five vehicles which is the most loved event in the jailbreak Community Asimo is a genius always doing new things that the Roblox platform has never seen before Asimo is the only developer on the Roblox platform willing to push the boundaries further more and more with amazing Live Events amazing vehicle collaborations but here's the sad part no break today isn't as popular as it once was back in 2017 2018 but jailbreak has 14 000 people playing 17 million favorites 6.2 billion visits and 5 million likes this game created by Asimo and bad CC one of the most influential games and most unique games to ever be released on the platform and this is why a CMO 3089 is one of the most smartest and most genius Roblox developer on the platform I hope he makes more games in the future because you never know it could be a bigger hit than jailbreak [Music] foreign [Music]
