i am new to commission so idk if he is trying to scam me he ask for access to my baseplate

patent frost
#

just give them a blank one

#

or if they need existing work, give them a blank baseplate with enough for them to do the work

proper turtle
#

i am doing the work for him

patent frost
#

oh

proper turtle
#

he wants me to fix his script

#

but

#

i think he is going to take the fixed script and not pay me

patent frost
#

yeah i just make a public experience for them to see that the work has been completed and i dont give until pay

#

if that not good enough for them then they're probably a bad buyer

#

let them hire someone else

proper turtle
#

i haven't started on the work yet

patent frost
#

it is a fair concern of theirs some might do that, but really who's going to go through the trouble of completing the job for them, showing them it is done, getting paid, and not deliver it?

#

they probably pre-paid someone and they were blocked, don't ever prepay

proper turtle
#

i don't think u understand the full story lemme explain so i am looking to get some robux so i do some commissions now i found him and he needs me to fix some bugs on his script but unlike my first client he wants access to it before i even started working on it so i have this thought maybe when i am done with the script he will copy it and block me

patent frost
#

maybe thats how they want to give you the buggy code

#

bit odd, but yeah always complete works in a project only you have access to

proper turtle
#

they can't send it through a file

patent frost

#

wdym?

patent frost
proper turtle
#

why?

#

the last one had given me the script through a file

#

with the models inside

patent frost
#

roblox studio can export anything to rbxm file, or entire projects as rbxl, and discord is quite capable of letting you upload and share files

#

they either don't know that, or are hoping you don't.

proper turtle
#

so he is trying to scam me right?

patent frost
#

bruh

#

how am i supposed to know

#

its seems fishy but no proof

#

just do what you need to do to protect yourself and that's the best you can hope for

#

shit happens

proper turtle
#

i think i shouln't do because he doesn't need access to my baseplate where i am going to work on the script

#

thank u for the help

patent frost
#

if you don't like how a job looks, don't take it. you don't have to take every job

proper turtle
#

okay

patent frost
#

in fact i generally dont take any jobs at all anymore coz the pay sucks and you have to deal with scams like this

#

and they're not all always clear cut scams

proper turtle
#

so how else would i make robux

studio** You are now Level 3! **studio

#

i need robux for ads

patent frost
#

e.g i've had someone hire me for an antigravity thing, took me half a day to get it just right, then they offered half the agreed amount. i told them to f off and I cut my losses.

proper turtle
#

thanks for the help

#

i really appreciate it

also realistically speaking even if you had half a decent game somehow, you need to spend hundreds to thousands to get enough views for roblox to start naturally picking your game up

so i should stop

i spent some time going over every single game in my feed for a while, and i think i saw 100,000 views like once or twice, never less

#

my games which have almost none occasionally get like 1~2 people a day so, maybe my games just suck, but if you want to get on frontpage it costs a lot

#

meanwhile a nearly identical game gets 5k ccu because they were able to advertise...

patent frost
# proper turtle so i should stop

you can still try to make games, you'll learn a lot, but if you're very young and don't have many useful game dev skills it is going to be very difficult for you to actually get anywhere with it. maybe make games that you want to play.

#

but as a job or career? lol roblox aint just free money, it's very difficult and highly competitive. roblox likes to not mention that part

#

having a game does not mean it will be successful, so just make stuff for yourself and if it's any good people will play it.

#

if not, well at least you enjoy what you've made 👍

also yeah contending with commissions to make some robux on the side

#

no one said that would be easy either

i ain't going to get a job

#

i would rather stick on the streets

patent frost
#

you will someday. that does not need to be today

#

im the one doing the commision xD, but I didn't know what price would be fair

minor forge

#

we all have different prices just do what suits u the best

patent frost
#

realistically you can probably expect like 500 robux or thereabouts for something simple like that, maybe less.

#

i charge a lot more because my time is valuable and i know what i'm doing

proper turtle
patent frost
#

i dont need your robux ;o

minor forge
# patent frost i didn't say that was a fair price. i said that was *my* price

k, thx anyways, 5k sounds expensive but to be honest most of the people accepting too low robux is probably all AI code, i did my first commision not too long ago, and 500 was exactly what I charged for something quite simple, it was just a jump effect and something else equally simple, but now he's asking me to fix his checkpoint system, because the previous person who worked on his project did literally everything with AI, it was a horror to read

patent frost
#

specially if you never done commission before

proper turtle
#

(idk if this is a good thing or not)what i do i ask the client what is good for them and ask for more if it is not enough for me
