Century Games is a top-20 mobile developer globally, but that hasn’t stopped them from also carving out a significant presence on Roblox. In the latest episode of the Naavik Gaming Podcast, I had the opportunity to speak with Xiang Shen, the Chief Technology Officer of Century Games. We delved into his decision to develop Roblox games and discussed the strategies that contributed to the triumph of their two Roblox titles, Livetopia and MetLife, which have garnered over 5 billion plays and have over 40,000 concurrent players at the time of this post. Xiang highlighted three points for how traditional developers can find success on Roblox: 👨💻👩💻 Take advantage of low-cost development to test and learn Roblox players have different expectations than mobile players and it takes trial and error to discover what works. Luckily, Roblox development teams can be 2-5 people so there can be really limited cost to experimenting on the platform. Gathering insights on one of the most exciting and fastest growing parts of the gaming industry is well worth it for every major publisher and game studio. 👦👧 Rely on the experts (even if they're teenagers) Roblox-native developers are deeply knowledgeable about what Roblox players want. Mobile and console play patterns won’t directly translate so make sure you have these Roblox-native devs on board or at the very least serving as advisors. 🦸♀️🧞♂️ Intellectual Property (“IP”) development is a major opportunity on Roblox Century Games recently launched a mobile game that uses the Livetopia IP called ‘Livetopia Party’. While they have not started paid user acquisition, the game has seen considerable organic traffic from players who know the IP from Roblox. This is just a sampler of the gold mine of insights Xiang shared in our interview. Make sure to check out the full episode in the comments!
