Thomas Dimson(@turtlesoupy):Roblox used to require coding skills to build games and we tried to see if that's true with Codex and Claude. First we ported Quake to Roblox with "Frag Party" => flop. Then we spent two weeks to lovingly craft a fish trash collection game "You're a Fish, Save the World" => flop. So we got mad and made a game overnight called "Peck for Profit" where a drinking bird hits a button and coins spit out => 500K MAU and peak 1.8k concurrents. Roblox is strange.
