18 kinds of games we build
The loop is different in every one of these, and so is what it takes to build it well. Start with the kind of game you actually want.

The most common reason a Roblox game comes out flat is that it was planned as a setting instead of a loop. "A horror game in a hospital" doesn't tell anyone what to build; "players search a hospital for four fuses while something hunts them" gives the game an objective, a threat and a win condition. That's the first thing we pin down with you.
Each genre also has systems it can't work without: saving for a simulator, server-side hit detection for a shooter, undo for a sandbox. The genre pages above spell out what we build for each one, and what kills games in that genre, so you know what you're paying for.
Once it's built, the genre matters again: what gets a horror game played is not what gets a simulator played. Every genre page ends with the promotion that works for that audience, and links straight into the creator marketplace to book it.
Choosing a genre
Which kind of Roblox game is cheapest to make?
Obbies, tycoons and simulators. They run on one core loop, so they fit our Starter package, from $299. Games built on several systems that interlock, like RPGs, pet games with trading and shooters, start at Studio, from $999.
Which genres take longest to build?
Shooters, fighting games and RPGs, because server-side combat and long progression have to be built and balanced carefully. A Studio game usually takes 4–6 weeks, against 1–2 weeks for a Starter game.
Can you mix genres?
Yes, and the most successful Roblox games usually do: a tycoon with pet collection, or an obby with a racing leaderboard. Describe both loops in the quote form and say which one comes first.
Does the genre change how I should promote the game?
Significantly. Horror sells itself through reaction footage, brainrot through short-form clips, RPGs through longer build guides. Each genre page here ends with what works for that specific audience.
