Consulting

Your game works.
Your metrics don't.

Data-driven game design consulting for Roblox developers. We diagnose retention, monetization, and engagement problems — and give you a prioritized fix list.

Sound familiar?

D1 retention stuck below 10%

Session times under 5 minutes

Payer conversion won't move past 0.1%

Spending on ads but players leave before the tutorial ends

You've tried adding features, running sponsors, tweaking UI. Nothing sticks because you're treating symptoms, not the root cause.

Our approach

We analyze your game the way we analyze our own.

Borders RTS — our flagship Roblox game — grew to 34,000+ daily active users and Top 2,500 status. We built 80+ monetization specifications and a battle-tested diagnostic process along the way. Now we apply that process to your game.

FAQ

Common questions

How long does a review take?
Quick Diagnosis: 48 hours. Full Design Review: 5-7 business days. Growth Partnership: ongoing, first deliverables within the first week.
What data do you need from me?
Your game link and Creator Dashboard screenshots (DAU, retention, session time, monetization, funnels). Takes about 10 minutes to gather — we'll tell you exactly what to screenshot.
Do I need a certain number of players?
No minimum, but analysis is most actionable with 500+ total visits. Pre-launch games can still get FTUE and monetization architecture reviews.
How is this different from hiring a developer?
We don't write your code. We diagnose the problem and write the prescription — prioritized action lists with expected metric impact. Think game design doctor, not contractor.
Do you implement changes?
We advise. Deliverables include written specs, action lists, and Luau code patterns. You implement. If you need dev help, we can recommend contractors with our hiring package.
What if my game is too small?
The diagnostic process works at any scale. Some of our most impactful work has been with solo devs at 50-200 CCU making fixable FTUE mistakes.
What genres do you cover?
All Roblox genres. Deepest expertise in strategy, tycoon, simulator, and combat — but retention funnels, monetization architecture, and FTUE optimization apply across the board.
How do you protect my information?
Everything stays confidential. We don't share your metrics, code, or strategy. Happy to sign an NDA before starting. Case studies use only public metrics unless you opt in.
What's your track record?
Borders RTS: 34K+ DAU (Top 2,500), 90th percentile D1 retention, $13K+/month revenue. 40+ games analyzed, 80+ specs delivered across our consulting pipeline.
What if I'm not satisfied?
If our Quick Diagnosis doesn't surface at least 3 actionable insights you hadn't considered, full refund. We've never had to.
