Make a place where we can apply for the featured sort on any given platform. It should include a checklist of things you (the developer(s)) need to achieve. For example:
1) A like/dislike ratio of X (ROBLOX admins will be able to work this out better than me!)
2) At least X visits (let's say 1,000 visits because that's the badge requirement!)
3) At least X votes on your game (We've all seen those games with 1-0 like/dislikes)
4) A well explained, well documented process and expectations list. I don't really care if the expectations are very high nor do I care if the process is very long or very short. I want to know, as a developer, what I can do to get my game (which has many hours put into it) onto this featured sort. And, believe me, the real developers will go above and beyond any expectations you set.
5a) An explanation as to what went right / wrong. Please, don't take this out of proportion. If I've got a bunch of free models in my game and it clearly has no structure the assessor can simply put a comment such as "no structure to gameplay". I don't know about you but I don't care all too much if someone uses free models. If the sources are properly documented and credit given (perhaps even payments) I don't give a darn. Twisted murderer / Mad Murderer / Assassin (3 of many) use free models and free decals.
5b) For reasonable products produce reasonable answers. Don't give someone who's spent hours and hours creating a unique experience the same feedback as you give 1 hour speed build. This hits home to me because my game was taken off the featured sort for no [GIVEN] reason at all. I want to know WHY so I can IMPROVE. Generic comments won't help something in need of specific changes!
6) Add it as an exclusive feature for X/Y/Z members. Of course, some of you will immediately dislike this and think that this is the kind of filtering of ROBLOX content that really ruins such a system. I don't mean "OBC only" kind of blockade. More-so someone who has managed to accomplish X/Y/Z. 10,000 visits is a nice starting point, as are the ratios. I personally believe that this won't stop enough. Nevertheless, this is only something I want to see introduced if 5b stops becoming feasible. I'm more-so looking at 1 game per developer / group per 7 days. Nothing prohibiting someone indefinitely unless they've violated the ToS etc.
If you read this far, thank you. I would love to see this implemented as a new feature on ROBLOX!
