OVERVIEW.
Steal A Nexus - Solo-dev
Steal A Nexus is a Roblox experience I developed, heavily inspired by Steal A Brainrot. But instead of stealing brainrots you steal nexuses (crypto-currencies).
This game started has a one-week challenge to see if I could turn this game into a popular game on Roblox.
Core Gameplay
Own & Upgrade: Players start by purchasing their own Nexus, which passively generates Bytecoins, the game’s main currency.
Steal & Defend: Introduces a strategic layer where players can steal Nexuses from others or protect their own using timing and tactics.
Expand & Rebirth: Players can rebirth to reset progress in exchange for enhanced abilities and access to more powerful blades.
Troll Mechanics: Optional troll gear adds chaos and humor to gameplay, allowing players to prank or sabotage others.
Development Highlights
To build Steal A Nexus, I began with a free template called: Steal A Thing, discovered on YouTube, and significantly expanded its systems and features to create a richer, more dynamic experience.
Key Additions & Features:
Robux Shop System: Implemented a premium shop with a server luck system, offering packs and bonuses that you could buy with Robux.
Rarity & Mutation System: Designed and balanced multiple rarities (Common → Godly → Celestial) with mutation mechanics for unique Nexus variants.
Timed Spawn Events: Introduced guaranteed high-rarity spawns (e.g., a Legendary every 5 minutes) to maintain engagement and anticipation.
Limited-Time Offers: Added rotating Robux deals for high-rarity Nexuses with a discount available for the first 24 hours, the offer lasts 3 days.
Tutorial System: Built a tutorial to teach new players how to play.
Map & Base Design: Designed custom maps and outposts, each serving as a personal Nexus hub for players.
UI Systems: Enhanced the Index interface for tracking discovered Nexuses and fixed indexing-related bugs.
Leaderboard & Rewards: Developed a Top Donator leaderboard with a monthly category and an all time category. It grants a secret Troll GUI to the top donators allowing them to troll players in their current server.
Easter Eggs which grants a special badge when the player found them.
