Adopt Me! is by far the most popular game in the Roblox universe, able to engage players in a truly enviable way. In February the game it has accumulated 20 billion visits, which is pretty damn impressive for a "game within a game".
So it's no surprise that the minds behind Adopt Me! they founded their own company called Uplift Games. Previously, the team was known as Team Adopt Me and Dreamcraft, but Uplift Games is a full-fledged company employing 40 employees with plans to grow.
Uplift Games will continue to support Adopt Me, but also have a goal to develop "Future projects not announced". At the moment, however, it is not yet clear whether it will be Roblox games or independent titles.
“Although we have already been developing Adopt Me as a team for almost four years, Uplift Games is a huge step forward in bringing our vision to the gaming industryi, ”said Josh Ling, director of commercial operations. "Our team combines the best people from the world of Roblox and traditional game development, and we're so excited to continue building top metaverse experiences in flexible and sustainable ways".
Is the case of Uplift Games just the first? Could Roblox turn out to be the big bang in a whole new series of studios?
