Making a game in ROBLOX can be simple, given you know how to script and build. However, some users want to jump right in. Making a game requires knowledge of the Studio, scripting, and building. Many users think that a game can be made using Free Models. NO! Free Models shouldn't be used in your game because that is someone else's work. Free Models were designed be used for study. What happens if the model has been broken by a ROBLOX Lua update?

Sounds like you just made a broken game. Try to use only original models that you created in your game. Try not to insert a Free Model into the place you're making because sometimes Free Models contain ROBLOX viruses. ROBLOX viruses can't affect your computer, but they can lag your place and make your place's XML file bigger. It can also create game lag on the server when uploaded or give other users the power to insert scripts into your game.

Many users think that games like RPGs are just as easy to make as obstacle courses. They require a lot of time and management and are recommended to users who know the advanced levels of scripting. I recommend you do something like:

  • Paintball Course
  • Obstacle Course
  • Zombie Invasion Game
  • Building Place

Summary: Creating a game can be easy with the right knowledge. With enough practice, anyone can make a game! However, it is not something that should just be jumped into without thinking. Take a little extra time to plan what you want to do. It'll pay off in the end.
