God damn...

All I can think about lately is how it isn't possible to give my BLOXian some real personality. Sure we can pay out the a** and get maybe a few items that define us and play dress up all day, but when it comes down to it... that's pretty much it.

We walk the same, jump the same, we have the same /e actions, we have the same everything... all the time.

All this was fine with me at first. I was just like anyone else; fine with just going through the motions, not bothering to speak up unless the staff decided to make an update that stepped out of line. Even then it was just hopping on the hate bandwagon. Without it I wouldn't care about what I thought.

But then I had this cool vision... it wasn't much to speak on really, just a ROBLOXian in a different pose than normal, but the more I thought about it the more I would add to it, and the more I added to it the more it excited me, and the more it excited me the more I realized that I had to make an effort to make it happen.

Sorry for the long intro; I babble a lot. But without further ado, here it is:

Basically what my drawn out suggestion is, is simply to make the ability for ROBLOXians to have different customizations for the simple actions they do every time they play a game, like standing still, walking at normal walkspeed, slow walking (half normal walkspeed), running (double normal walkspeed), jumping, all that stuff. It's not a big step, but it's more than enough. And here's how I think it should be done:

Imagine it: ROBLOX adds a new category to the Catalog; it's called Personality (or whatever I'm not good with names). And this Personality category is filled with brand new sellables, and they fall into these subcategories:

- Walkstyle: How your BLOXian walks at default walkspeed (For most games that's 16).
- Stance: How your BLOXian poses when you're not moving them.
- Hostile Stance: How your BLOXian poses when they are at less than full health and you're not moving them.
- Jumpstyle: How your BLOXian jumps.
- Runstyle: How your BLOXian moves at twice default walkspeed and above. (For most games that is -16 and below or 16 and above)
- Slowstyle: How your BLOXian moves at half default walkspeed to 0. (That would be for most games -8 to 0 to 8)
- Tripstyle: How your BLOXian falls when they're tripped (this one's iffy because the flopping around animation would change, too).

Follow me so far? I'm basically asking ROBLOX to begin creating and selling custom animations for everyday ROBLOX player mechanics. You know, REALLY add some variety.

Don't think this is worthy? Well think of it this way: You're one suggestion away from animating your BLOXian in any way you choose. You could make your character swagwalk, arms folded and head down like a boss when you're standing still, or even have both hands resting behind your back in a headmaster-esque stance. You could make your BLOXian jump like a Super Mario parody, flip jump like a martial artist--the possibilities are endless. And you're just one support away. It's such a basic suggestion, but it adds so much more depth by really doing something very simple: working with what we already have.

Most of this is already possible to add. If not, all. It's been done in Animation Labs. It's been done in roleplay games (I remember a Naruto game that has your arms behind you when you're running). It's even been done in updates (the update that changed climbing animations, added breathing, etc). Some may even think since it's already been done in this fashion there is no advantage in doing it this way...

... Lol that's a good one XD

ROBLOX is all about upping its aesthetics, I know: Dynamic Lighting, new terrain, propping up animations already. I also know ROBLOXians are cool with that: Even the biggest 08er nostalgic admits that they'd miss the graphic updates if their lifelong dream of sending ROBLOX back to 2008 came true. So why not want this?

I can see it now: This update is added and dozens of new animations are now sellable for R$, a few even made free so all ROBLOXians can get in on this next level stuff. Soon every active ROBLOXian has been converted. And it shows in a big way. When you first enter a game after this update you notice something...

These guys look more alive than before. They're posing, they're not walking the same, they jump differently. And these guys look more expressive than before. You now can see a player's personality just by looking at their BLOXian's animations. You can look at a BLOXian who's standing still, arms folded, his head is aiming down, wearing Snake Eyes and headphones; he's looking cool, right? Could you do that before? And these guys are even funnier than before. You're playing Twisted Murderer and a guy dodging a murderer suddenly trips, but when he trips he pratfalls as it's his tripstyle right before he gets killed. LMAO! That's too good! And then you realize... you're one of them. Suddenly YOU look different than before. Suddenly you're that cool dude with the Snake Eyes on with your arms folded and head down, you're the dude pratfalling getting some good laughs just by being yourself. You're the dude with your own flair. You're no longer comparable to anyone else in any way. Even when you look exactly the same as someone else, people will know when it's you without even looking at your name. Is that a dream you can forget so easily?

Not to mention the moneyz! Ohhhh man ROBLOX can pull in some serious cash just by making a few new animations a week for a few months. Think about it: Items are in high demand. They make them all the time, thousands buy each item with R$ they bought with real life money. Rinse and repeat and there's some decent cashflow right there. But then think of this: They add an entirely new category presented that no one has yet but everyone WANTS to have. If they market it right (following this basic formula would be preferred) they can get R$ flowing into it from EVERY R$ buyer in ROBLOX! When they need a quick cash-in, this is the answer! When they need money on top of money, they can count on their animation sales. And just by jump starting a market for custom ROBLOX animations, and weekly updating like gears. This update can do so much good for their wallets and the game as a whole. It can do so much for ALL of us; it just needs a little help getting there.

Will you help?

"But noob, what about the joints? Won't ROBLOX need to add more joints to make some poses possible?"
ROBLOX has come across this problem many times and they found a solution. Just /e dance with a 3.0 package, you'll see. If it ain't broke, don't fix it, right? They don't have to make it perfect, just put that ROBLOX spin on it like they always do :D

"But noooob, it takes so much time and effort to implement a new bustling marketplace of Catalog-caliber! They'll have to go through the long and costly hours of animating each animation, update the website, spend time at the drawing board coming up with enough content to publish to make the market respectable, spend some serious time coming up with a base script for the Humanoid to modify with ease each time they want a new animation--"
BLAH, BLAH, BLAH! They've done it all before! You reap what you sow. We all know this is a very good business venture. If they're willing to put in the work they can make it happen like they did with Gears and Audio. And when they put in the work, you KNOW they're gonna cash in. They've done all of this before. They still do it. And if they aren't ready for it yet, I'll wait. But when you get enough EXP, there comes a time when you need to go to the next level! #WeOnThatNextLevelBoy

"BUT NOOOOOOOOOB, I DON'T CARE--"
Get that out of here! I'm perfectly fine with that, but please, PLEASE, don't tell me ;-; Don't crush my dreams pls. My heart can't take it.

"But noob, your name is noob. I smell noob on you."
My name is noob. How is it possible to offend me by calling me by my name?

When you have a dream, you have to put it out there, because a vision without action is only a dream, and the longer it's just a dream, the more it hurts your soul.

Support or no support, love or hate, rain or shine, I'm glad I finally got this off my chest. Maybe now I can go back to my regular lazy MLGenius swagtastic forum life in peace.

Now I ask you one last time...
Can I get some pep in my step?
GOD. DAMN.

Noob is outchea.
---------------------------------------------------
I'd like to take a moment to thank everyone and anyone who read this post. It probably was far from the easiest post to read through so support or no support, the fact you even got this far is enough for me.

Please comment, and I would appreciate some suggestions for ROBLOX on what animation to add. For example:

"Edge Master"
(it basically makes you BLOXian's arms folded and they're head at a downward angle when standing still if equipped)
Genre: Stance
Cost: 75R$
Description: Arms crossed, head down, edge UP.

"Pratfall"
(when you trip you turn it into a stupendous fall to get a few laughs)
Genre: Tripstyle
Cost: 30R$
Description: You big faker you.

Have a wonderful day. Thanks for reading!

"You could make your BLOXian jump like a Super Mario parody,"
i got hyped when I read that lol

Was a bit sketchy at first, but this sounds like a pretty good idea ROBLOX could add. Would really add a whole new level to the gameplay community.

The only problem I can list off of the top of my head is that there are some games where they already have scripted animations, and the ones ROBLOX provides might not be allowed in those games.

Besides that, this is really good, support.

It means sooooooooooo much that you guys support this! :D

Lol I didn't think I'd be doing this good.

I feel so good I'ma ADD to this suggestion: a new genre that we can't forget >:)

Wait for it... Deathstyle!
Because dying is fun! Lol...
------------------------
Deathstyle: How your BLOXian acts when they die.

And here's an example Deathstyle animation:

"ONLY I KILL THIS!"
(When you fall to zero health, you stand still and a text bubble chat ensues like this:
"You can't kill this..."
"ONLY I KILL THIS!!"
Then you self destruct and die as normal)
Genre: Deathstyle
Cost: 750R$
Description: Boy....

Words have yet to be invented to describe the support I has for this thread.

I hope this makes it.

This is one of the few things I'd buy R$ for.

Btw you have a great writing style c:

I'd immediately buy Edge Master and Pratfall LOL.
Oh and my Deathstyle you described perfectly :3

"You can't kill this.."
"ONLY IIIIIII KILL THIS!!!!!!!11111!!!!!"
(busts the most badass flute solo you've ever heard)
(Self destructs)

Here's my add

"The Ragequit"
Type: Death style
When a player dies they immediately say this in a text bubble:
"Omg. This gaim blows!!!!!11!1!1!1!"
"You noobs!"
(player has logged out)
And then they respawn XD
The chats are a bit different each time to keep things fresh. ROBLOX makes like a dozen.
Price: 50R$

This may be one of my favorite threads ever. You know I'm trackin' boi!

Support on support on support on support
All of the haters must now abort.

My adds :)

"Dubstep Death"
Type: Deathstyle
Cost: 50R$
You know the "Oof" sound we all make when we die, yes? Well when you die with this equipped you basically do a dubstep of you dying over and over and the dubstep music is the "Oof" sound in dubstep format XD too good.
Desc: Oof amirite?

"Walker With The Hater Blockers"
Type: Slow style
Cost: 100R$
When you're slow walking you character puts on some oversized shades and starts walking while resting one of his hands on his shades like a BOSS.
Desc: Swag jocked, haters blocked, steps clocked.

Yee

This is truly a great suggestion. It was suggested flawlessly (that was the easiest TL;DR post I've ever read, period. You are an entertaining writer), and the idea is nearly perfect. However you did leave a few things out:

Watch out for game-breaking animations. One dude on here suggested he does 20 FLIPS in the air when he jumps.... you can't be serious lol, what can he flip 100 feet in the air if he spends enough R$? We have to make sure that these animations don't change default jump height or walkspeed in our favor, so we don't have players with super unfair advantages like that. And that also makes me think of your "ONLY I KILL THIS!" death style: Funny, very funny, but I'm not too sold on the idea of a stalled death or a self-destruct (unless of course the explosion can't damage anyone). A death should only take the time it takes between respawns (that'll be about 3-4 seconds average). If it's like that it's a GREAT ADD as watching your animation will make it seem like there's no wait between respawns at all, so in that sense stalled deaths and stalled jumps are acceptable as long as they don't increase your default movement speed and jump height. Oh, and like someone said earlier, game-implemented animations should cancel out custom animations like the do anyways (these would basically be your new normal animations so that goes without saying). Everything else is fine; we may not be used to people swag walking and pratfalling and flip jumping, but it breaks nothing. It'll actually add some desperately needed personality to ROBLOX as a whole, and it's cool :D

That's all I can think of. I support this completely, and I hope that everyone who reads this does.

Here's my custom animation ideas :3

"Zero Gravitas"
Type: Stance
Cost: 200R$
(Basically your BLOXian is levitating slightly above ground; like a few inches; when he stands still with his arms outstretched as if he'd balancing himself. He falls downward and back up again to make a better levitating animation)
Description: Somebody get me a spacesuit and parachute!

"Street Bloxxer"
Type: Hostile Stance
Cost: 75R$
(Ryu stance. Lol)
Description: What he lacks in Hadoken he makes up for in stance.

"Street Bloxxer II"
Type: Jumpstyle
Cost: 75R$
(When you jump you do a non damaging Sharyuken XD)
Description: It's Ryu tailored, Ryu approved, and an overused move. Hwaah!

Tracked!

Thanks for the supports, you guys are awesome.

Everyone's ideas here are awesome. Keep 'em coming if this is added your suggestions may be added to since they're in plain sight.

And @ragemagick your post made me think of another flaw...

The repetition:
- Things like death style, jump style and trip style may get repetitive, no? So this is what I recommend:

Deathstyles, jumpstyles and tripstyles come with a dozen possible animations per buy, all with the same overall structure. Each time to perform it randomly decides how the animation will go.

For example:
"ONLY I KILL THIS!" would have its beginning text picked at random from preset text, like
"Fool..."
"ONLY I KILL THIS!"

or

"What do you think you're doin'!?"
"... ONLY I KILL THIS!"

and the original, so on and so forth. Maybe even more than one flute solo can be put in and played at random.

For the "Pratfall" there could be a dozen different pratfalls chose at random when you trip.

Get it? We can apply that to all tripstyles, jumpstyles, and deathstyles and that way it'll stay fresh enough to not get irritating.

Thanks for the support again and bump!
You all are awesome :)

@noobill

Great idea.

I'ma update my "Street Bloxxer II" then:

Every time you jump with Street Bloxxer II equipped and it hits someone it says a random amount of damage in red text, and a hit counter in yellow text. That'll take away some of the repetition if you can make a game out of it lol. Of course you still can't hurt anyone with it, but yeah.

Also I have an add:

- /e noanimations and /e animations can be used to go from your preset animations to the old ones when you want :3

I support, but i wish you didnt put those inappriote words in it. Anyways, let me make it to my fitting.
Walking speed: How fast you walk. Starts at 15 and can be upgraded for 1 robux, and 1 robux is added to the price every upgrade, and upgrades walk speed by 5. Players can also upgrade it for 30 tix, but will only give 1.
Running Speed: How fast you go when you double tap W. Default is 20. Will upgrade by as much as the walkspeed was upgraded.
Sneak style: You get the effect when you press C, and you will also move at half walkspeed.
Jump sound: Explains its self.
Leveling system: You have to be a cetrain level to buy a certain item. To earn EXP, you have to kill a player in a game. 1 kill = 5 exp. Level 1 = 100 exp, level 2 = 200 exp, and so on. Everytime you level up you also get 1 robux.
Health changing: Games have got that down.
Low health sound and animation: When you have a quarter of your health left, your player will start doing the animation set. All animations for low health are free, and players can use a sound id for the low health sound.
Damage sound: Sound when you lose any amount of health.
also last thing, add a different walk sound that will make different sounds when you are walking on a different material, for exmaple: You walk on a block with the sand material on it. It will play the sound for walking on sand. I'm tired of just looking for the broken scripts.

Dont get his dreams crushed.
The rest of the things i didnt mention in this post can stay the same.
