Of all the talks at GamesBeat Summit 2024, I thought one of the most interesting was a panel I moderated dubbed Gaming’s Rising Stars: Developers building businesses on Roblox.
Before a crowded room of much older game industry leaders, we talked about how user-generated content (UGC) games on Roblox (and Fortnite and Minecraft) could be the new ground floor for game developers. At a time when layoffs have plagued the industry and made it so hard to find jobs, we’ve seen enormous growth on Roblox.
In its most recent quarterly report, Roblox said its DAILY active users in the quarter ended March 31 hit 77.7 million, up 17% from a year ago.
We gathered a panel of young rising stars on Roblox to talk about the opportunity. They included Clarence Maximillian, CEO of Maximillian Studios; Anne Shoemaker, CEO of Fullflower Studio; and Aiden “Rynity Rift” Montreuil, founder of Railrose.

GamesBeat: I’ve been covering games for 27 years, but I’m not the expert on stage. In fact, none of you are likely to be experts in this room [for this session]. It’s an interesting turnabout. It feels like user-generated content is …
