How to put a game in your group roblox

Hello, Roblox Community

I have a question. Is it possible to move a game from your profile to a Roblox group? When I created my Roblox game, I selected the creator to be myself (@SnowflakeForest10) instead of choosing my group. However, now that I have developers which may be payed in the future, I need to have group funds from group games. So, how can I move my game to my Roblox group and is it even possible to do? Have an amazing day!

Thankyou,
Snowflake (@SnowflakeForest10)

This does work. When publishing a game as another current game, you cannot change the creator of the game. You can just add versions of a game to another version of a game.

Change the creator of the game on game settings, mb

Thats not moving, you just create a new universe/game. Moving games between profile and groups are not possible as far as i know.

oh wait I just realized it, mb

I don’t think this is possible. There is a forum on this and Seranok posted that it isn’t a feature and it isn’t going to be in the near future. You could always check the road maps to see if there is any new features coming out here. You could try and post something in feature requests.

The only way would be to publish the place from the group, but then it will be a different game so 0 visits, 0 likes, etc.

I think what you’re talking about is putting a game into a group right? In that case, if you onto your game that you want to upload, go here

Hope it helps.

@SoftwareEngine did a pretty good job explaining, however, you doing that will reset all visits, likes, favorites follows, etc. For your copied game.

I don’t see why you guys are so concerned about place statistics, that’s completely irrelevant to the question. OP wants to import a game from a profile to a group, not transfer the whole game.

That all being said, I remember there was an option called Publish Whole Game that accomplished this all in one single step. Don’t know if that option still exists, haven’t bothered to check.

Just checked, it’s still around

In studio, going to File > Advanced > Publish Whole Game will allow you to move the game into your group. I haven’t actually used this feature, but you will probably lose some statistics like visits and likes.

I have the same problem, i feel you.

Maybe create a game where it teleports you to that game

It’s not around anymore, R.I.P.

The Roblox group games feature allows multiple developers to work on the same game, use the same assets, share profits, and give credit to all contributors.

Creating a New Group

It costs

1. Visit the Create Group page and fill in the requested details (Name and Emblem are required).
2. Click the green button to create the new group.

Roles and Permissions

Configuring Roles

As a group’s owner, you can configure roles for other members in your group as follows:

1. Click the
   
   button in the upper-right corner and select Configure Group.

1. In the left column, select the Roles tab.

1. Once there, note the default roles of Owner, Admin, Member, and Guest (these names/descriptions can be changed, and additional roles can be created for
   
   25). Each role can be assigned a Rank value between 0 and 255, where 255 is the highest.
2. To help keep your group safe and protect the group’s creations, you should carefully inspect and toggle on/off the logical permissions for each role.

By default, only the group owner has the Create and edit group games permission which is directly related to articles/Team Create|collaborative development and using articles/roblox packages|packages within a group. If you're collaborating with other builders and artists, you may want to create a new role for them which grants the same Create and edit group games permission. Lower-ranked roles, however, should not typically be granted this permission since it may expose your group's creations to copying/piracy.

Assigning Roles

If you’re the group owner or have been assigned to a role with the correct permissions by the group owner, you can edit another member’s role as follows:

1. In the left column, select the Members tab.

1. Using the drop-down menu below each group member, select a role. Note that you can only change the role of users that are currently in roles ranked lower than yours, and you can only promote users to roles ranked lower than your own.

Publishing Group Places

If you’re the group owner or a member with the Create and edit group games permission, you can publish a group place as instructed below.

Publish as New Game

1. Select File → Publish to Roblox to open the publishing window.
2. Near the bottom of the window, click Create new game....

1. Enter a place name and an optional description.
2. For the Creator field, select the group for which you'd like to publish the place.
3. When ready, click the Create button.

Publish to Existing Game

1. Select File → Publish to Roblox to open the publishing window.
2. Near the bottom of the window, click Update existing game....

1. Select a group from the drop-down menu.
2. Click an existing place. Note that you'll have a choice to either:
   • Overwrite that place.
   • Overwrite another place within the same game.
   • Add the place you're publishing as a new place within the same game.
   

3. On the next screen, click an existing place to overwrite it, or click the Add New icon.
4. When ready, click the Overwrite or Create button.

Revenue Sharing

One of the primary benefits of publishing a group game is the ability to share game revenue quickly and easily. Group owners can pay contributors by either transferring group funds as a one-time payout or by scheduling recurring payouts. Roblox will conduct periodic verification of funds to prevent fraud and abuse, at which time payout functionality may not be available.

Payouts are managed through Revenue → Payouts on the group’s admin page.

One-Time Payout

Group owners may distribute a one-time transfer of Robux to a single group member or multiple members. This payout can be either a lump sum or a percentage of the group’s total funds.

1. Select the One-time Payout tab.

1. Use the drop-down menu to choose whether the payout is a set amount or a percentage of the group’s total Robux balance.
2. Add one or more payout recipients by clicking the Add Payout Recipient button.
3. Next to each member, enter the amount or percentage you want to give to them. If you no longer wish to include them in the payout, click the “trash” button.

Funds can only be distributed as whole numbers. Amounts distributed by percentage will be rounded down to the nearest whole number and the remainder sent back to the group's funds.

1. Once everything looks correct, click Distribute.

Group owners can also set up recurring payouts to share profits automatically, as they are earned. Note that recurring transfers may be slightly delayed from the time funds are received until they are distributed to members.

1. Select the Recurring Payout tab.

1. Add one or more payout recipients by clicking the Add Payout Recipient button.
2. Next to each member, enter the percentage of the group’s Robux that you would like them to receive every month. If you no longer wish to include them in the payout, click the “trash” button.

Any time a change is made to a group's recurring payout, members whose payout rate changed will be informed through a Roblox message.

1. Once everything looks correct, click Save.

When creating a Roblox game with others, note that members with the Create and edit group games permission can change the Allow Copying setting for a creation. Safety and IP protection in group games can be improved by following a few simple tips:

• Group Owners — Make sure that each group role has the correct permissions. If a role is intended for somebody who simply promotes your game on social media, it should not have the Create and edit group games permission enabled.

• Group Members — Ask the owner or higher-ranked members to assign all members to their proper role on the team. Also, if you have permission to create and edit group games, make sure that Allow Copying is disabled for a place before you add any sensitive IP to it.

Group ownership of games means developers can more easily collaborate and operate as independent game studios. If a conflict should arise within your group, however, Roblox will not help arbitrate or resolve disagreements. Any technical issues should obviously be reported, but any discord regarding how a group is run or organized must be settled among the group’s members.
