I've been playing DDR on and off since 2002. 24 years of chasing arrows, and I still love it. Went through a dozen pads at home, many different arcades over the years, etc. Making my own rhythm game has been a dream the whole time. Today it's real. Dance to Be Famous is live on Roblox 🕺 roblox.com/games/82857207854… @Roblox

Halloween costume is sorted: the guy who's been chasing DDR arrows since 2002. Same as every year. Tonight I'm warming up in the Practice Zone of my own Roblox rhythm game, then going Versus with friends. Neon arcade, beat drops, Dance Buddy pets. roblox.com/games/82857207854…

Halfway through the week, so consider this your excuse for a dance break. Dance to Be Famous is the Roblox rhythm game I've wanted to make since my first DDR pad in 2002. Hit a beat drop and the whole stage changes. Bring a friend for Versus. roblox.com/games/82857207854…

What I wanted in a rhythm game since my first DDR machine in 2002: a neon arcade, charts that grow from 2 to 4 lanes, and a crowd to show off for. So I built it. Dance to Be Famous has Dance-Offs for hearts, a VIP floor and a Ranked Season 1 board. roblox.com/games/82857207854…

AI is a cheat code for ADHD brains. You can jump between 10 projects, follow every rabbit hole, and somehow still get shit done. I've never been more excited to build stuff.

Started this Monday right: one warmup in the Practice Zone, then straight into a Dance-Off to farm hearts. Dance to Be Famous is the rhythm game I dreamed about through 24 years of DDR. Beat drops change the stage and you hatch a Dance Buddy too. roblox.com/games/82857207854…

The kid at the arcade in 2002 would lose it if he knew I'd someday ship my own dance game. In Dance to Be Famous you pick 2, 3 or 4 lanes, earn hearts from the crowd in a Dance-Off, and climb the Ranked Season 1 board. From nobody to famous. roblox.com/games/82857207854…

About twelve home dance pads gave their lives so this game could exist. Dance to Be Famous is my love letter to DDR on Roblox. Hatch a Dance Buddy, battle a friend in Versus, and see how far your combo carries you on Easy, Medium or Insane. roblox.com/games/82857207854…

Friday night plan: queue up Insane, hold the combo, and dance my way onto the VIP floor in the rhythm game I built. 24 years of DDR went into Dance to Be Famous. Beat drops flip the neon stage, and the Practice Zone helps when a chart gets mean. roblox.com/games/82857207854…

If your feet still remember the arrows from a 2002 arcade, this one's for you. I grew up on DDR and finally built my own rhythm game. Start on 2 lanes, work up to Insane on 4, and chase a spot on the Ranked Season 1 board. roblox.com/games/82857207854…

Twenty four years of DDR taught me one thing: rhythm games hit harder with friends around. So Dance to Be Famous has Versus battles, Dance-Offs where the crowd hands out hearts, and Dance Buddy pets you hatch along the way. From nobody to famous. roblox.com/games/82857207854…

Confession: I've owned more dance pads than sneakers since 2002. Making my own rhythm game was always the dream. Dance to Be Famous is on Roblox with a neon synthwave arcade, a Practice Zone for tough charts, and Dance-Offs where the crowd gives hearts. roblox.com/games/82857207854…

Lining up Versus battles with friends tonight in a rhythm game I made myself. Still feels unreal to say that after a lifetime of arcade dance machines. Easy, Medium or Insane. Build a combo, hatch a Dance Buddy, and climb from nobody to famous. roblox.com/games/82857207854…

Insane mode on 4 lanes is where I live now. 24 years of DDR and I finally built my own rhythm game on Roblox. Every beat drop in Dance to Be Famous flips the neon stage around you. Climb Ranked Season 1 or dance your way onto the VIP floor. roblox.com/games/82857207854…

A dozen worn out home pads and way too many arcade nights later, I finally made the rhythm game I always wanted. In Dance to Be Famous you hatch a Dance Buddy, warm up in the Practice Zone, then hit a Dance-Off and collect hearts from the crowd. roblox.com/games/82857207854…

DDR got me hooked back in 2002 and I never really stopped. So I built my own rhythm game on Roblox. Dance to Be Famous has 2 to 4 lane charts, beat drops, Versus battles with friends, and a ranked season you can climb. From nobody to famous 🕺 roblox.com/games/82857207854…

Introducing: Games Dashboard If you run more than one Roblox game, the hard part of reading your numbers is knowing how much of a change was you. Say your games are up 20% on the same day last week. Roblox itself rises and falls from week to week, with school holidays, events and everyone else's updates. If all of Roblox was up 4% that day, most of your 20% was you. If it was up 25%, you actually lost ground, and your own chart would never show it. So I built My Games around that comparison. Sign in with Roblox and it finds every game you've made and every game in groups you own, puts them on one page, live, and shows how they are doing against Roblox as a whole. It does it game by game too, so a game down 3% on a day Roblox is up 4% shows as behind instead of flat. It also scores every update you ship by what it did to players. You can drag a line across the chart and get a ping when your players cross it. And you can share it with co-owners or your team, so everyone reads the same numbers instead of screenshots in Discord. The fair worry with any site like this is giving a third party your game's numbers. So everything above runs on public data and needs no access to your games. Retention, session length and Robux are optional. You add them on Roblox's own screen, you pick which games, and the access is read only. Only you see them, plus anyone you invite. We never show them publicly or sell them, and if you turn it off we delete what we read. Roblox also reviewed the app before it opened to everyone. Where it’s going: the page you open first every morning to run your games, and the private side of running them. Your numbers are what publishers, studios and buyers want to see, so the next step is a safe place to show them. That means data rooms where you decide who sees what, conversations with people who can help you grow, and offers that come to you instead of to your DMs. Eventually, games will change hands here, with real numbers behind every deal. If you run more than one game, try it and tell me what's missing. roterminal.co/my-games
