Community:Nikilis

Nikilis is a Roblox developer most notable for a version of Immi's Trucking Tycoon and Murder Mystery 2, the latter of which became one of the most popular games on the platform only weeks after its creation.

Places
Nikilis has created many places, of which only Murder Mystery and Murder Mystery 2 have gotten popular. The former is incredibly similar to the released sequel of Murder Mystery 2, but it has been taken down which prevents you from accessing it.

Trucking Tycoon
Trucking Tycoon rose to fame in September 2013 as a collaborative effort between Nikilis and his friends, but started out from Zephyred's own game which Nikilis had took from, but had his permission to fix it up. Later on, Zephyred updated his game, to make a cleaner version of it. The game holds over 1.3 million visits and 34,000 favorites. It was on the Top-Earning section of the games page since its inception, but has fallen off the front page in favor of Nikilis' newer game, 'Murder Mystery 2'. A fan group exists for the game, which is run by Nikilis.

Epic Building
Epic Building is an experimental building game created shortly after Trucking Tycoon. At launch, the game did not become as popular as his other creation. It was later closed, thanks in part to it not receiving visits.

Murder Mystery
Weeks after its launch on January 19, 2014, Murder Mystery was a success, earning 8.3 million visits in just 80 days. The game has constantly remained in the Most Played and Top-Earning sections since its creation, and is notable for being very addicting to many. After a few months, The Mad Murderer was made by loleris in response to the game. Murder Mystery's fame dropped due to it, with some fans of the game deciding to still play. In Late December 2014, Nikilis updated Murder Mystery, creating a new version with an improved lobby. Nikilis also added Emotes to the game. Nikilis's Murder Mystery game became so popular that it prompted Roblox to interview Nikilis and create a whole Game Review about the place.

After Murder Mystery 2's success, similar games were created (such as "Twisted Murder" By "Taymaster") which implemented the same ideas and gameplay made by loleris and Nikilis.

Murder Mystery 2
Murder Mystery 2 is one of the most popular games with the murder theme. As of October 31st, 2021, it has over 6.7 billion visits.

Player Count History
For the first month of Murder Mystery 2, it got around 1k players and around 150k visits per day. Later, MM2's fame dropped making it become 500-600 players per day and around 80k visits per day. When Nikilis updated it, it would get 1k players for a few days, then it would drop. Throughout the summer of 2015, MM2 was broken, and it only got about 20 players per day. Nikilis finally fixed it and it got 500-600 players like it used to and 10k-20k visits per week. In 2016, MM2's player count started to rise up as several big YouTubers started making videos on the game. At the end of 2016, MM2's player count was around 8k to 10k players and it stayed that way until in May 25th, 2019, Season 1 was released and broke a record of 65k players. MM2 got around 40k-70k players since season 1 in 2019 however, on October 26th, 2020, Nikilis dropped the Halloween update that made MM2 hit 111.2k players.
