In this session, Taylor shares best practices for creating the ultimate first-time user experience (FTUE) specific to Roblox experiences we follow at Gamefam, outline critical distinctions on the differences between ideal Roblox FTUEs that lead to higher conversion rates and player retention and traditional FTUEs on multiplatform title and F2P mobile games most devs are already familiar with. He shares findings on the impact of Roblox UGC creator and player culture on game design when it comes to UI/UX, and key learnings following the launch of 3 of the top 5 highest Roblox player-rated concert experiences. He also includes practical examples of Roblox-specific design choices used for the most popular and played branded titles on Roblox, including Sonic Speed Simulator (798M visits), Hot Wheels Open World (55.99M visits) and how to retain and grow an active player base and enthusiastic community following a successful 'hook' with the all important Roblox FTUE.
Attendees will learn the critical distinction between what works and what doesn't for new games on Roblox and walk away armed with practical data-driven examples that lead to improved KPIs, higher conversion rates, improved player retention, and most importantly, games that the growing Roblox community loves and plays regularly!
