Ep2- Jailbreak, a free game in Roblox

Roblox is a free online game, people try to break the record of most visitors, likes, and e.t.c. And a game broke the record, Jailbreak. Hi, i'm @KpmgytRBLX and today I will talk about Jailbreak, a free online roblox game. Now, what is Jailbreak? Jailbreak is game where you pick as a prisoner or police and break out of jail or arrest prisoners who escaped and do a bad thing. You can rob, fight, party, do anything but not get caught by police. You can even buy supercars! Asimo3089 and baddcvoid are the creators, of the all time legend Jailbreak. ! Badcc was first inspired when he played the game Redwood Prison by RoyStanford.“The game was simple, but there was something about it that I found really fun… At this time, I had never played Prison Life,” Badcc admits. “Some time passed and I thought, ‘Hey, this Prison Life game has been pretty huge on the front page but I’ve never bothered to check it out.’ And I did. I played it a lot. But I wanted to do more. After you escaped the prison there wasn’t much to do at all. At the time we were working on a competitive mining game and we had a pretty complete gameplay demo ready to show everyone, but I knew if we made a cops-and-robbers prison-breakout game it would be wildly more successful. I also saw a void in the market. The two games that were popular weren’t that advanced, and I knew I could really bring it to the next level… Four months later, we released Jailbreak.” Badcc and Asimo3089 leapt into action to create their new game. Badcc never grew tired of building or playing Jailbreak; in fact, he only enjoyed it more and more.Jailbreak came together quickly and smoothly, and it was released just four months and 16,000 lines of code later on April 21, 2017. In just 3 days, it reached 75,000 concurrent players, the highest ever in a Roblox game. Asimo3089 started to get shocked how well they did on the game. Jailbreak is now the fastest-growing Roblox game ever in the company’s 10+ years of history. “With Volt, Asimo3089 and I spent a lot of time polishing the UI with tons of animations,” he tells us. “Volt was pretty, but it wasn’t nearly as fun as Jailbreak'". “You don’t have to know that you can rob banks/jewelry stores when you join the game, but as soon as you figure it out it’s an entirely new game. Or the fact that you can pickpocket police, customize cars, hijack helicopters, have parties in apartments, and so much more,” he said. This is key for Badcc: “You can cooperate with your friends to rob buildings, fight crime together with different people having different roles, etc. You can also play solo and have a lot of fun.”We asked Badcc and Asimo3089 if they had any advice for aspiring developers given some of the lessons he learned while creating Jailbreak, they had this to say:“Test as much as possible with as many people as possible so you can get feedback about everything you’re working on and make sure you aren’t spending too much time on something that isn’t worth all the time. If people aren’t having fun playing your game, you need to correct this,” said Badcc. “And of course it helps get all the weird bugs out that come up when there are millions of people pushing every boundary of your game to the limits. Focus on a single project, and make sure you don’t spend too much time away from it at once. I made Jailbreak while I was in school and spent at least a couple hours on it each day during the weekdays.”“Listening to feedback is huge,” said Asimo3089. “If a majority of your feedback givers are telling you they want something, there may be an even larger portion of players who aren’t willing to speak up. This past update that’s pushed us past 80,000 concurrents involved a bunch of gameplay changes and updates that players have wanted for a long time. We also run Twitter polls on recent changes to figure out where the players want the game to go. Addressing popular feedback seems to do the trick!”Today, almost few months after Badcc, Asimo3089, and their friends started work on Jailbreak, the game is out of beta and officially released! The game is now 25,000 lines of code!“I continue to learn how important efficiency is. Every update I’m always looking for ways to make the game run better. Every feature addition involves trying the same thing multiple ways, to make sure it can run as well as possible for as many people as possible. We want everybody to enjoy Jailbreak!” said Asimo3089. “From the start we’ve had an awesome community and they’ve all been super supportive and helpful. The game wouldn’t be where it is now without the constant waves of feedback, testing, and motivating messages. It’s hard to find a community like that, and we’re so happy to have one of this quality!”Jailbreak’s success is only growing too. On Sunday, August 13, Jailbreak beat its own record with over 100,000 concurrent players! It’s always best to learn from great games and leverage them into your own success story. The success of Jailbreak is one example of how developers and creators on Roblox can entertain and inspire millions. Their accomplishments came from more than good luck. It took a well-thought-out idea, a strong game design, an organized team, and a lot of imagination.
