I've had the question for a while. The oringal purpose of ROBLOX was to be blocky game where you use physics to blows stuff up and simple machines. But ROBLOX has evolved so much, that the building has too. ROBLOX continues to add helpful building tools, and by using them you see super detailed places that look close to maybe even a ps4 game.

The morphs have changed too. Instead of making a new account with the 1.0 body, you start off with the 3.0 body so that you're character blends in more with the high detailed places.

So will ROBLOX always be a block game, or become the next steam?

Well, every month you see better and better games. ROBLOX has almost become an actual platform for simple games, yet still having the capability to make it complex.

I have though about this idea since 2010, (I joined in 2007 on my main account chadster96 is do not get mad) The only way that would happen is if Disney or some other dumb company bought Roblox.

It's gonna stay blocky. In rendering form.
Think of Minecraft, it has a similar fashion.

While some blocks in the game are not blocky, they still have a hitbox, or rendering of a block-based game. This is not the definition of a voxel, by the way.

While ROBLOX is evolving to more non-blocky measures, it's still going to render out as blocks in games and, obviously, still look like it. [for the most part]

I get the rendering, but most games uses triangles, and we have many plugins for that. Another tool that might be released is custom textures that fit around a Unioned triangle model to make it super duper realistic.

I've seen a triangle drawn model of a sword, all using blocks and it looks very realistic. Imagine Unioning it and giving it textures. Boom, next steam worthy prop.

@Besp
Triangles on ROBLOX are still rendered as boxes, if you think carefully about it.

Yes but it uses meshes, just like any other platform ever made.

As if. Steam has always harbored better games than ROBLOX.

The thing about ROBLOX is that you get a new game like every week, unlike steam which has the same popular game for like a year.

@xxdistrust

except you have to pay 3/4 of the games on there to play them

roblox otherwise is free to pay

and no paid access doesnt count because they all suck and are ripoffs

I think ROBLOX want's to evolve to a real Platform, the problem is that they have the Block ego in the way.
