What would a dev do?
A few questions about what you're building, then the playbook a developer would reach for — and when to skip it.
A dev would reach for
Roblox Studio + Luau
Build a multiplayer experience for the Roblox platform with Studio, Luau scripts, and Roblox-hosted services. Choose this when reaching Roblox players matters more than shipping a standalone game.
Why this fits
- The game is meant to be played inside Roblox.
- Studio combines editing and publishing with Luau scripting and hosted platform services.
Common trap
Trusting client messages to award currency or save progress - validate actions on the server and handle data-store failures.
Check this before you commit
Skip if you need a standalone store release, an ordinary browser game, offline play, or control over hosting outside Roblox.
