I see ROBLOX games becoming more and more detailed, and CSG is allowing for much higher detail than was previously possible. The additions of custom particles and lighting are amazing, and the simple API that ROBLOX uses is admirable. My suggestion is to allow users to use ROBLOX as an actual game engine, with more in-depth character control, so we could make custom avatars for games and such, and export games to places such as Steam or even just allowing for simple download, without the need to install ROBLOX. Charging a small amount of money for this service or having it be BC-Only is completely fair in my opinion. However, I want to use ROBLOX as an actual engine and not be forced to use ROBLOX.com as the only way of using the game; Being able to upload it online or through steam would be AMAZING

TL;DR: Make ROBLOX a real game engine. You don't have to stop advertizing to kids or take down the website as a social place, just make it so we can export games with the ROBLOX API, and upload them to steam or the interner. Charging money or making it BC-Only is fair game, just PLEASE allow us to use this as a serious game-creation platform.

This is a really great idea! I'm supporting you on this! Especially how APIs are becoming a big thing on the Internet! I honestly don't know much about APIs, but I've used them once for importing some sort of map to a simulation game. But making Roblox a standalone engine is a very good idea indeed as well!

ROBLOX would need some way of gaining currency through this, but I might support. It will get the word out there and get more people to play games.

If someone could get into the source code of a downloaded game, however, they could literally steal the place and profit off of it. Also, could the people in steam not just play roblox instead? Maybe have a few sample games they could download/play and they would need to play on the site for the full content.

@Demonic
ROBLOX limits the possibilities of the game to Robux though, not allowing users to ccharge money. Not only that, but "real gamers" wouldn't take a children's site too seriously. And yes, the possibility of hacking is a problem, but I'm sure ROBLOX knows how to avoid that; I haven't seen anyone find out ROBLOX's source code via having downloaded the game itself.

This idea if accepted won't be implemented for awhile. The ROBLOX staff is still working on Multiplayer Studio, and other neat updates coming in the future. Yet, that's a very good idea. I am totally behind it. This is probably one of the best ideas I have seen on this sub-forum.

Hi,


Let me gather all the info, you want to turn ROBLOX into this game that develop games for other people? ROBLOX is complex but simple compared to half of the games on steam. ROBLOX would also have to connect to steam in some way, but they aren't. ROBLOX would have to pay unnecessary money to implement this idea.

As for myself, I don't see this working. Cause ROBLOX doesn't have billions of dollars to invest into another gaming website to put more games on.. You can just put your games on here.

I support, however this wouldn't be in roblox's interest and i'm sorry but no one on Steam would want to play a Roblox game. Its graphics are too blocky and unless you're used to it its very odd and strange. There are other more obvious cons that I won't bother going in to. lel

Obviously, waffloid, this would require no limitations on CSG and more ease of customization with playermodel. If those two things are delivered, ROBLOX could become a serious game eninge.

Roblox's engine has no use for the outside world. It's slow, can't render lighting from distances, can't render SSAO and AA at the same time, no color correction or any other effects, nor does it have most of the options other engines have.

I mean, they can release it, but it's gonna flop and be overshadowed by Unreal Engine 4 and Source 2.

@Bloxa,

Hey, that didn't stop Unturned, a zombie game on Steam based on ROBLOX's Deadzone Rising, from becoming popular.

"Deadzone Rising"
I laughed so hard.
I don't know if that was intentional, but I think you mixed up "Deadzone" and "Apocalypse Rising"

This is pointless, as who would want a game engine that is nowhere near as capable as other ones?
Stop trying. This idea is stupid. Just use any other game engine. Like Unity. Oh I guarentee the Unity Engine would be better than whatever ROBLOX could create to be their own engine for developers to use.
