Total estimated marketing cost: $25,000 – $120,000 per game Revenue per game on RobloxĪlthough the games themselves are quite different from mobile/F2P games, the monetization tactics are similar. ![]() For the purposes of our unit economic analysis, I was told that $60,000, or about three Youtuber promotions across the lifetime of a game, was a reasonable estimate. Source: War Simulator Promotional Youtube Videoĭevelopers adjust marketing spend depending on the traction of a game so there is no definitive amount of marketing spend required. Developers will engage YouTubers to release promotional content at different points in a game’s life cycle, especially if there is a big live service announcement. Getting a top YouTuber to promote a Roblox game runs on average $20,000 per promotion, according to a developer I spoke with. Roblox could improve by offering a wider range of UA opportunities, given they often end up losing the vast majority of marketing spend to YouTube (albeit free advertising for Roblox, too). While user acquisition (UA) on the platform is quite cheap, game teams quickly reach a ceiling of being able to reach new players given the limitations of Roblox’s advertising solutions. One developer estimated that the cost associated with getting a game the necessary traction was about half of the total cost of launching a game and increasing due to heightened competition. Considering that there are over 30 million experiences on Roblox (and a marketplace strategy for the platform), advertising becomes a critical part of any game’s success. There are 1,000 or so games displayed on the Roblox Discover page at any given time. Roblox developers pay competitive wages to their programmers given the high demand, while artists and audio designers are paid slightly less. As a result, personnel is the only cost of development that most Roblox developers I spoke to think about. This is in large part how Roblox justifies its 72% share of the revenue made in a game. ![]() Furthermore, developers do not need to write native code to reach users across hardware platforms (i.e. ![]() Infrastructure costs are extremely low on Roblox as hosting and platform fees are free and provided by Roblox. With the recent leak, however, I was able to break down the unit economics of game development on Roblox and analyze why Roblox studios might make sense as venture-backable startups. While the studio heads I spoke to were incredibly generous in sharing their perspective, they were understandably hesitant to share the exact details of their business and key metrics for their games on Roblox. Over the last few weeks I interviewed several Roblox studios to understand their costs and get a sense of how they define success for their business. This is the first time we’ve had this clear of a picture as to what the top Roblox developers are making so I was eager to dive in. After all, the small teams that create these experiences are in stark contrast to the hundred-person studios launching AAA mobile games and the total addressable market appears to be limited to a fraction of Roblox’s revenue. With the sudden emergence of VC-backed companies building games on Roblox, I’ve been wanting to better understand the unit economics to see if they can deliver venture scale returns.

![]() American, Southwest, Alaska, Frontier and United say all of their planes have height-measuring devices, called radio altimeters, that are protected against 5G interference. airlines had made the changes needed to adapt to 5G. But Arrndt also stressed that the Federal Aviation Administration is “working very closely with airlines to monitor summer pop-up storms, wildfire smoke, and any 5G issues.” Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg recently told airlines that flights could be disrupted because a small portion of the nation’s fleet has not been upgraded to protect against radio interference.īut the worst fears about 5G hadn’t cropped up by mid-afternoon Saturday, prompting Transportation Department spokesperson Kerry Arndt to describe flight travel as being at “near-normal” levels. The leader of the nation’s largest pilots’ union said crews will be able to handle the impact of 5G, but he criticized the way the wireless licenses were granted, saying it had added unnecessary risk to aviation. They then agreed to limit the power of the signals around busy airports, giving airlines an extra year to upgrade their planes. Predictions that interference would cause massive flight groundings failed to come true last year, when telecom companies began rolling out the new service. ![]() Heading into Saturday, one of the biggest concerns had been whether 5G signals would interfere with aircraft equipment, especially devices using radio waves to measure distance above the ground that are critical when planes land in low visibility. Federal Aviation Administration also advised travelers that bad weather conditions on the East Coast could affect flights later Saturday. Flightradar24 spokesperson Ian Petchenik described Saturday’s conditions as “smooth sailing” in an email to The Associated Press, while adding inclement weather could cause problems at East Coast airports later in the day. as of Saturday afternoon, according to Flightradar24, another tracking service. The cancellation rate worked out to about 1% in the U.S. During the June 28-30 period, an average of 1,751 flights were canceled and more then 32,600 flights delayed, according to the FlightAware data. EST, there had been at least 850 flight cancellations and more than 28,000 delayed flights Saturday. The number of flight delays and cancellations declined from the spikes recorded earlier in the week, according to data compiled by tracking service FlightAware. Airline passengers who have endured tens of thousands of weather-related flight delays this week got a welcome respite from the headaches Saturday, despite concerns about possible disruptions caused by new wireless 5G systems rolling out near major airports. ![]() to run the game in a window or using Glide) you should do it inside the "launch.cmd" files.With this tool you are able to switch easily between all patch versions of Diablo 2 from 1.00 Classic to 1.14d LoD, install PlugY and create shortcuts to start specific patches.

I've used the same CD-keys for both installations. Please note that by default Diablo II may use a different folder for saves, so either move your saves around or change the save folder option in the REG files below. I've made it so both versions place saves into their own Save subfolders. If you need to downgrade your version to 1.13 there are good guides on that here on Reddit or elsewhere. I have 1.12A install packages from a while back, so I don't have to deal with downgrades. Change that to whatever folder you keep your games in.

Finally I've stumbled on this comment by Hesp on that pushed me into right direction. I didn't want any of this, I just wanted to have 2 folders and two shortcuts on my desktop.

In my opinion for Atlan (Legendary Barbarian) He heal fine, but does not buff/debuff so I think a A is the best he should get. I would rate her as a S every dungeon, SS for CB and B for Arena Pair her with heros that can clean the offspring, she will destroy that bitch. She's amazing everywhere except arena, even spider. Juliana: I will admit my bias now, but man she's good! I have 11 leg and I only use one of them more then her. Other hero are doing a much better job in every way. I use to run him in lots of place but I benched him since. He carries 3 food on 13-6 brutal in 45/55 sec. ![]() Tayrel: should be S or even SS on campaign. pair him with someone that blocks healing and you got a good dmg dealer here. For Spirit keep, he should be higher just because of element advantage. He's not end-game, but you can go far with him. I'm not changing it because it's an old comment in an old thread. Some things changed such as Aothar now stacking poison. However despite all the comments, this was a great effort, I much prefer this to a ranked tier list, showing where each champion excels or not.ĮDIT: this comment is 3 months old. He has a single hit, even with his counter that's negligible. He deserves an S tier in most dungeons (not FK).Įxecutioner should be D tier on Fire knight. He can solo all of brutal campaign, ice golem 15, Minotaur 15 and is just ridiculous for most players. He can push you farther than almost anyone. People like to say "all he does is heal" but very few without extensive experience with him comprehend just HOW MUCH he heals. How is coldheart not SS tier on Fire Knight? She has the most hits on her A1 of anyone in the entire game! Not to mention her A3 resets his turn meter buying you additional attacks once his shield goes down. Properly set up, she's an absolute monstrosity. This means she can forgo speed boots, equip attack boots and then one-shot the enemy team in retaliation. She has very high AoE scaling, and cannot be bursted out due to her passive. Skullcrown A on Arena Defense? Someone's never faced a Skullcrown trap! She's S or even SS tier. If he's rebalanced, he might be better, but until then I'd give him nothing above a B. Jarang is extremely fragile and has poor scaling that undermines his kit. Same with siegebreaker, just kind of bog-standard AoE burst. S tier at best, I'd be more inclined to rank him A rank. He's a decent attacking champ, but doesn't really do anything all that impressive beyond that. ![]() Jinglehunter is not SS, he's not that impressive. Outside of her poison, she's got nothing. Like you have Magus at S tier, Coldheart and Magus aren't even close to similar in power on CB. B rank, IMO.Ĭoldheart should be SS tier, she's better than half the SS's you do have, and she's fairly accessible. Seeker is slightly too low, his Attack buff isn't the best for CB, but his turn meter increase will get you more turns. You've massively underestimated the value of team counter-attack buff and ally protection. He's used by almost 100% of top-tier players. Skullcrusher is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too low. S Rank at least.Īina has two extremely useful debuffs for clan boss: defense down and weaken, and a 2-hit A1 with an extra turn. I think at least 50% of top-tier players use an Athel. 100% up-time on weaken combined with a 3-hit A1 makes her extremely useful post-GS. There are a lot of healers that eclipse him.Īthel is too low. Thenasil isn't bad, but I'd rank him lower than that on clan boss. Also, not certain he can apply it multiple times? I've used one and he never seemed to do it. A rank at best.Īothar, same criticism, he just has the one poison, on a long-ish cooldown. ![]() Rowan is too high, her poison is decent, but it is on a VERY long cooldown, and it's the only thing she brings, the rest of her kit is no good.

Here The Chinese Room doesn’t take any obvious route, ignoring puzzles, hostile forces to run and hide from and even basic tasks like collecting objects or notes. From its tranquil cottage gardens to its rocky streams and forest paths, this is a seriously beautiful game. And while the landscape might pack a suspicious amount of scenic beauty into one area, the lush planting, all gently moving in the breeze, is right on the money. Even the insides of the vans and cars have the right look and feel. Houses have the kind of jumbled, inelegant interiors you might associate with rural areas of the period. It’s not 100 per cent authentic and there are oddities, like the fact that everyone in the area seems to have the exact same make and model of radio, but it is believable. The landscape in Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture is every bit as beautiful as The Vanishing’s, but it’s so much more lifelike and detailed, resurrecting the sights, sounds and textures of an England that itself vanished years ago. It’s a game where you feel directed rather than placed on rails, and while Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture puts some limitations on your exploration, you’re still free to roam and discover to a large extent.Īs with The Astronaut’s The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, a lot of time and effort has gone into making Yaughton and its environs a place worth exploring. A crackling noise with hints of speech will drag you back into some scenario. A ringing phone or the sound of bells might pull you in the right direction. Beyond following strange lights you’ll find yourself pulled in by a range of audio cues. There are trails you can follow through the game, and The Chinese Room has been extremely clever about how these work. It’s not that one player will have an entirely different experience of Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture than another, but each experience will feel different and give you different information and a different slant on the story, even as each leads to the same conclusion. Others only trigger once you’ve triggered other sequences, and here the way and order that you do things seems – and it’s hard to be sure exactly what’s going on here – crucial. Some you can find in any order, just through wandering the Yaughton valley. This is a story-led game in the style of The Chinese Room’s earlier Dear Esther or Fullbright’s Gone Home, but it’s one where you put the story together piece by piece, finding snippets in mysteriously persistent phone calls and radio broadcasts, or in reconstructed scenes played out by spectres formed from glowing trails of light. That doesn’t mean that either is predictable or linear. ![]() In any case, we’ll keep things as spoiler-free as humanly possible because, in Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture, the game and the narrative are indistinguishable from each other. The smartest thing you could do right now is purchase and download the game, play it, then come back and read the rest. By taking inspiration from a very British vein of sci-fi, and most specifically the fifties novels of John Wyndham, the team at The Chinese Room have created a post-apocalyptic game unlike any other, as locked into a place and era as Kubrick’s 2001, the Quatermass movies or Tarkovsky’s films of Solaris and Stalker.įrankly, the less you know going in, the better. There may be odd signs that not everything is right, but this is an apocalypse where the victims appear to have quietly disappeared, leaving a radio blaring in the garden, doors unlocked, a van left open on the side of the road. It’s a very English kind of apocalypse one that takes place without much fuss or obvious violence or screaming in a quiet Shropshire valley in the mid-1980s. ![]() Software description provided by the publisher.
