The history of Roblox's Simulator genre is no secret to anyone who's played before. Yet a shocking amount of them don't know much about how we got to this glorified clicker timeline.

WTF is going on in here?💀
"neither kids nor gaming were hot at that time" glad that both of those things are hot to the roblox playerbase nowadays
Pfft classic KaiCenat moment
this is diabolical 😭😭
especially roblox devs 🪦
GLAD?? 😭😭
Lamooo
Controversial opinion: Bee Swarm Simulator is a solid simulator and doesn’t fall under the genre of slop simulators.
It does have the gacha mechanic but it doesn’t affect the gameplay that much.
And on top of that the gameplay is very versatile and it is more than just using bees to collect pollen, there’s combat and tower defense (kinda).
Overall i think that Bee Swarm Simulator is the best simulator of today.
where the hell is tower defense?
@@blueflames4612 the ant minigame where you kill ants idk now looking back its more of a wave survival
@@azure5686 yh u arent dedploying towers xd
This video teached me a valuable lesson.
...Big games...
Are the most putrid, evil, And overall worst people to ever exist and release things on this platform.
They seriously. SERIOUSLY. ruined an entire platform, (kind of) the owners of the platform
And overall did the worst thing ever known to man.
This platform, Has gone down oh so fast just because these idiots
Chose they wanted a bit of profit.
I don't care if anyone says "they didn't want profit"
"It was just a fun project"
*They still did the worst thing imaginable.*
And now millions of children are affected by their hands...
I literally cannot look at them the same anymore.
Thier greed right now is even worse.
Only thing keeping their games alive is that they were popular *before.* And that they're popular *now.*
Pushing a formula that should've been against the LAW. itself. (to not exist) Into reality.
Also apparently when you try to leave the game, it will give you like a gift to stop players from leaving the game.
well welcome to roblox in 2020-2024
these ppl know exactly what they are doing and they know that nothing can happen to their game's integrity because the roblox playerbase is mostly kids which wont protest against these kinds of stuff
the day roblox gets caugh in the public eye for the amount of straight up illegal stuff that happens there (aham critical strike aham koneko aham gambling directed at children aham and now soulshatters and more) is the day roblox corporation themselfes are gonna panic, remember that "people make games" channel ? they did a good job at exposing roblox and they were already craping their pants and asking them to delete the video while being unable to answer the questions about the illegal stuff that goes there because again: they KNOW what they are doing, and the day something like that video reaches a much wider audience roblox can and will be in BIG trouble
@@EpidermeTostoes exactly when I joined. I came back but only for the good games
(Just phighting)
And to help a develouper friend of mine
@@luckyfunky1178 i recently started playing phighting too, but games with such quality are very difficult to come across on roblox for the simple fact that they are always indie passion projects or similar, if you wanted to make money you wouldn't develop something like phighting, you would make another anime cashgrab with gambling and other kinds of stuff that the roblox playerbase likes
ppl say that one of the pros of developing on roblox is the already pre-established playerbase, but said playerbase is 85% kids on ipads, those kids wont play class based shooters (like phighting) or any other more complex games, they will play anime games in which they can feel the dopamine of gambling and of winning a pvp fight out of doing the same combination of buttons over and over again, they simply want easy dopamine that can be easily achieved because that's just how they work
and that means that games like phighting will probably always die because roblox doesn't have their target audience which will result in them not showing up on the frontpage, and even if it did most players that would like to play a game like phighting don't frequent the roblox platform
result: no players = no revenue = no money = no game
and no, nobody is stupid enough to take part on developing a game for the sake of "passion project" if they see that they aren't getting anything from it (in another words: ppl need food on the table and making a game that wont generate revenue is a complete waste of time)
Simulators on roblox nowdays are all a giant middle finger to every game that cared or had passion behind it.
Those simulators don’t really gain much popularity though
Those simulators don’t really gain much popularity thougb
@@ThisIsAHandle-xz5yo Have you not seen the player counts on those games though? thousands to tens of THOUSANDS, and underrated games with so much effort put into it like say, Project Stardust, has only a couple hundred players at most, and only tens of players.
Even if it's not popular, it's absolutely attractive to gullible youngins because of how addictive these games are.
@@ThisIsAHandle-xz5yo another good example would be Base Wars as well.
@@alicorn3924 Love stardust, tho i might stuck in tier 3 forever 💀
I miss the time when simulators were actually going by their dictionary term, the few games that are are impossible to find but are some of the most funny experiences ive had on roblox
Ngl, i experienced Mow my Lawn 2 in a completely different way, when you play it with the mindset that it is a simple (but annoyingly grindy) boss fighting game, the gears shift a lot and there's really SO MUCH content into the game it honestly starts to resemble submarine simulator by how much it tricks you on the start by making you think you are playing a completely different game to what you end up with
Also, the boss fighting is actually really good, it just follows a set genre of fighting games on roblox that look for being simpler, saying its bad or mediocre is like saying terraria combat is bad bc i doesn't look like elden ring
It is very sad to see however, how only its flaws ended up leaving an ironbranding on future games of the platform while it's good parts only remain on extremely niche and mostly forgotten parts of roblox
This is an excellent way of viewing it, you're absolutely right
the bossfighting is NOT really good what are you on
@@dddw. Yep it is really good on the genre of classic boss fighting games, you simply are not fond of the genre
@@randomplayer4033 its not? it just has bad bossfight design, boring and long battles with uncreative and repetitive attacks
You should make the description of the video like this:

*Your enemy the entire Bee Swarm Simulator community has joined the experience.*
This is a good video and all, but I will NOT accept the Bee Swarm Slander. The game came out before Pet Simulator (you acknowledged this in text on the screen for less than a second) and isn't anything like the game? All the paid things are either mostly inconsequential buffs or seasonal packs which very rarely have anything exclusive save the 800 robux exclusive bee which yes, is very overpowered, but it's 800 robux. $10 US. There is some gacha system what with buying eggs, but these eggs can easily be obtained in mere hours and eggs aren't even the primary system of getting good bees anyway. It DOES get monotonous... after about a month of total active playtime... but still. It's FAR more complex than a clicker game, you can't pay to have more bee slots, it caps at 50 for everyone, you can barely pay to progress faster with the 2x convert and bee pollen passes, but those don't really give much of an advantage after a little while. The game is nothing like pet simulator, and- oh wait, I forgot to mention the game has actual progression! Yes, you unlock areas, but you also complete quests. QUESTS! These can take SO long to complete, you will be doing quests your entire career in the game. A bunch of different bears giving quests that stay challenging throughout.
Sorry for the paragraph, but one does not simply insult bee game.
One day I will please the bee swarm simulator fandom with a 17 hour in-depth video of how it's the outlier in the genere of simulators, having no p2w mechanics, and simply being a good game.
@@MonobearTonight It is... acceptable.
(in all seriousness I NEED to see that video)
bee swarm is NOT a pet sim like , in fact its one of the few original roblox simulators out there , so please play the game or at least inform ur self about it before giving an opinion
Don’t play it, escape the addiction.
It's not, but wow it's a very very grindy game. Probably the most grindy game on Roblox
how is it not a pet sim like ( i have 300 hours on it btw)
saw you in the pressure discord server, you said you were cooking something up and have been waiting ever since. looks good so far!
ping me right now
@@MonobearTonight you're not anymore silly
@@overticked that's just not true

Great video discussing the spam of clicking and pet hatching ‘simulators’. I think you could also mention the realistic simulators in Roblox from the past few years. For example, Sunshine Islands Bus Simulator is the best bus simulator I have played in Roblox. The map is very large, all buses are free to play, and the modeling is very detailed. The passengers even scream and complain when you crash the bus. Most people do not know about this game because simulators are now spammed by clicking and pet hatching games, and bus simulators are not even recognized by the simulator player base.
lack of Kielko in this video.
look harder
Lack of Belial in this video.
Lack of bitches in your DMs.
lack of the number 8
nothing competes with bee swarm simulator
love the longer video style, hope to see more in the future 🔥🔥
the colored names with the comic sans font will always be burned into my memory
So *THIS* is what you've been cooking up!
A passion project painfully crafted over the span of many, many months. Its very well done and honestly one of your best videos. The editing is top notch and you've significantly improved, I can definitely see this one hitting the high charts! Could've had it done quicker if it wasnt for so many "unprecedented road blocks" like re-writing the entire script and.. other unexpected Dvents ... heh...
Anyway! Very well done Mr Monoballs! I look forward to seeing you prosper and finally hit 30k!!!!
P.S.
I expect royalties 🥱😋
heh....yeah this totally took months..
@@MonobearTonight it's been an idea in the works for many months, I was trying to cover up the fact that you could've, apparently, had it done it in a week instead of waiting multiple months.
Lazy 😋
help im being bullied
Mono my beloved my favorite yapper! Thank you for this distinguished video. May the force be with you.
yabagabagoo
nah thank YOU for watching
@@Tackeroner bro wat? I understand the meaning but this is apparently Somali for “their partners”?
this guy is going places! good job buddy keep it up!
i've always wondered how much money i could make from making minimal effort penny pinching simulators, though i wouldn't be able to do it. everything i've worked on in all my years of Roblox development have been solely out of passion and without care for how much money i could get out of any audience i could attract with it
not that i think monetizing a game is bad or anything; game development is a business and passion doesn't pay the bills. i just think games like modern simulators aren't developed with the thought of "hmm how fun would it be if we added x", they think "how much can we squeeze out of our playerbase by adding x", which as someone who works on projects cuz i think the idea i have would be fun in execution, i think the way they think is so soulless, and no amount of flashy colors or cutesy art style will change that for me
I don’t know why I played through so many modern simulators, which are really just copies of each other, and was never weirded out by it. I think it was because I thought it was normal.
Anyways, this is an amazing video. I liked learning about how many simulators in the past were like actual simulation games, those simulators were good and had effort, some in fact were ahead of their time. I also found out that some games are simulators too, even if simulator isn’t in the title. But in more modern time, developers focused more on simulators being what they could use to make money off of children. A lot of modern simulators are carbon copies that look different, and the definition of simulators has just changed, a lot.
Seeing some of the simulators in the past kind of inspired me to make simulators like them, and add special mechanics. I imagined making a simulator about engineering and fighting monsters.
I feel like we should make simulators that actually simulate specific scenarios and not just be Cookie Clicker: Prepare to Pay 2 Win Edition
Like, Space Station simulator, simulating the usual sci fi space stations without any innovation inc. level destruction of the station, but you could decorate the station with decals, you can even expand the station, and each player has their own space station that can be customized with earnable themes (like Dieselpunk or even Biomechanical)
I think bee swarm is way better then these other simulators
Simply a masterpiece of a video.
thank ya bigdog
you covered the "simulators" of Roblox pretty well! Keep up the good work!
🤜🤛
best video i've seen about simulators fr
hell yeah, thanks dude
this guy should have more subscribers, his editing is so good and he only got 24 k subs?? he should have like 10 million or sum
insert pet sim gambling gif here
hop on ponytown dude
@@MonobearTonightu werent there when we did dewd
Thanks for uploading
now I have a video to watch while I eat my food
with no bev?
@@MonobearTonight rawdog that food
the dinossaur one cant be compared to the other simulators that are just cashgrabs or visits farm,it has effort on it and polished by the devs.
seriously well made video i love this
thank ya brother
Rob an elderly woman simulator is criminally underrated.
How did you compare beeswarm simulator to pet simulater it isn't comparable at all bee swarm simulater has a lot of diffrent features and has actual planning in it with building your hive or getting the right boosts to farm in a field. 16:05
God I love gambling at a young age. Need that new rainbow pet in Pet Sim 99, one more click will solve it
this video is very well made
Looks like someones been watching too much emplemon
Nice video
I like the title drafts in the desc. it’s a nice touch
Yo this video is awesome!!
you are flippen awesome!!
@@MonobearTonight Thanks :) u too
i think you should make a video on roblox racing games since it would be interesting to see racing games on roblox be more covered
driveblox and vehicle simulator are interesting, but i would also like to see street racing unleashed (by secondlogic) and drivetm be covered as well
maybe even more modern games like midnight racing tokyo and driveworld should be covered
8 years since dinosaur simulator
didn’t expect mml2 to appear in a simulator evolution video but cool
Phenomenal video man but I will NOT accept Bee Swarm Slander. That is a game made with love and care, it has soul. Do not compare it to games with no soul!!!!
I believe everyone dog piled on me about that as well on my "Why We Let Mediocre Games Succeed and Quality Projects Fail" video, you'd think I would learn by now but I didn't 😭🙏
I will say it does have a tiny amount of gambling in the sticker printer, But the thing is that it’s comes in late-early game (I’m late-mid game btw)
The sticker printer has a hour wait before using it again, this makes it where people don’t get addicted to it so thx to Onett for being a caring developer and isn’t a greedy dev BIG GAMES cough* cough*
Roblox Emplemon type video goes hard
love the dude.
how can you have a downfall when youre already at rock bottom
you should upload more NOW!
i will NOW NOW im back NOW
@@MonobearTonight yippee
no way bro called bee sim mid
consider putting "The W" in your next underrated games video.
my goat has finally uploaded again
thats not tornado alley thats project supercell by joshoctober16
such a high quality video, let him cook
How dare u compare bee swarm simulator to pet simulator they are nothing alike
only the real ones remember the og "monobear" 🙏🙏🙏
what happened to your discord server?
Bee Swarm Simulator was made and released before Pet Simulator 1, already had "cube pets" and egg hatching before Pet Simulator. If anything Pet Simulator copied Bee Swarm Simulator.
I miss Bubble Gum Simulator 😔
Comparing bee swarm to pet sim is a crime if you were to do it based on today
bros finally back
awesome video
thank ya thank ya
Bro finally uploaded again

they're not even simulators in the slightest, they're just boring games involving grinding and really really greedy gamepasses

yes i do know wowww you sometimes craft stuff and do potion boosts but theres so little you can do in the game (i would know, I have 600k rolls)
Cancer
I subscribed after your best roblox games video, but you dont upload consistently and all your videos discuss the same things. Just rinse and repeat.
*burps
* farts in mouth
* you like it
We live in a Roblox simulator
honestly think about it
our daily rountine consists of eating food (filling up energy bar)
going to work/school (school is the tutorial, work is how you make money)
either spend money on cosmetics (furniture, accessories) or save for upgrades (better car, house, etc)
and most importantly, the game finds SO many dumb reasons to take away your money so you’re stuck grinding for as long as possible
