"Oh, people like gmod murder, let's transfer that over to roblox and see how it fares"

"Oh, people love murder mystery, but it is scripted terribly, I bet I could make a better version"

seriously, look at what people like about the game and come up with something new.

People hopping onto a mystery hype train? Build a quality version of clue or come up with something like L.A. Noire. Don't just copy the same game over and over again, we do that enough with tycoons and obbies.

We're starting to look like the mobile market nowadays. -3-

i'm not saying that any of the games are bad. lol

someone came up with a juggernaut game on gmod, nik copied it and everyone started remaking his game to get their own piece of the pie.

just for an example, there is this reaction game on the apple app store called "Don't step the white tile" (lol) it has been chilling out on the top 50 free apps for a good month or so. right now a copy of it called "Piano Tiles" is number 1 in free apps.

a few placements down there is a copy called "Don't Tap The White Tile 2" made by someone completely different.

and another one 7 places down. and another 15 places down. and another 30 places down.

all with classic flappy bird clones mixed between.

this is a hella toxic environment for developers and doesn't breed creativity. =_=

Personally the feel Nikilis started the trend with a popular title.
I think the other developers such as clonetrooper1019 Loleris and several others wanted Nikilis success. Don't get me wrong Loleris and Clonetrooper have great versions. I'm just waiting for Watch Dogs to be finished for somebody to step up and create a better trend more trends several more examples not one. And sooner or later if somebody doesn't do it i'll give it a go myself.

Why doesn't someone just make a game with Norman Bates in it?

Yeah. Except for the fact that the games are well scripted, well built, and are faring extremely well. I think people are being smart in the sense that they are earning money legitimately. At least less horrible games are in the popular sort.

clone didn't steal the idea from nik, he stole it from gmod before nik even released his, and clone decided to continue and compete with nik. but loleris is definitely leeching on the fame.

I automatically got your point right there. But the people who kept repeatly making these Longest Obbies on ROBLOX stuff needs to find something else to build.

Meh, Clone still rushed to finish his half complete winter based murder game when MM got attention on roblox.

that much is evident considering how long it was between MM rising and Murder being released.

Why does it matter? Don't play it. Honestly, the first time I joined ROBLOX, it was because games were free. You could play an FPS for free (Of course it's not like the real thing), that's why ROBLOX shined over all other types of games that offer building and sharing those buildings, because you can copy a real game and code it similarly to create a ROBLOX version.

Copying GMod's murder isn't a bad thing in itself.

everyone trying to come up with better versions of the same game is the problem. i'm already done with murder games and now i have to wait for the next trend before anything decent comes from roblox.

the time loleris put into making TMM could of easily been spent making something like the console FIFA games.

but that would of been entrepreneurship, and being a trail blazer is hard, so instead we're bundling up the same game with different maps and UI to make as much as possible on DevEx.

So what? Clone had the best one. And Loleris tried to make a cleaner one and still couldn't make it much more impressive, however with marketing and fame he got it to be successful. It's a good thing that people try to compete, it makes better games and it makes money for ROBLOX. This is your opinion, and I respect that, so it's fruitless to have a debate about this.

k, so no new game content is a good thing for roblox and helps retain players.

i'm not talking about which one is better, i'm just saying that developers wasted their time following this style of game as opposed to filling the other gaps we have in roblox.

where are our starcrafts? our dotas? what about our guitar heroes and world of warcrafts. We have all the tools that we need to make the games to fill these roles, but instead we're improving on murder mystery so that we can be guaranteed some profit.
