Porting a Roblox Game to Steam with Unity: The Case of “Find the Cats”

Making cat games is what I got into after shutting down Candy Japan due to covid. It's been quite fun, especially being able to run various experiments much more quickly than with an ecommerce store.

Let's be honest: the bar on Roblox is still quite low for games. That's why I was able to get a start there despite having no gamedev experience besides participating on Ludum Dare a lot. I did this port to see if it makes sense to also release these games on Steam, or if they're just not good enough to sell there.

So far it's only sold $116 net, so it's feeling a bit like the answer might be no, but the game was only launched 5 days ago. If it keeps selling say $10/day consistently, then I'd consider it having been worth doing.
