I've noticed a change in games built on Roblox. The actual game mechanics have overpowered the building now. For example, you could go to any game, Welcome to the Town of Robloxia, Pokemon Arena X, Catalog Heaven, they all have one thing in common. The mechanics of the actual game may be fun, but the architecture? Meh. Roblox used to be simple, you build an awesome structure, your invite your friends over to see it, and your main task is to enjoy the structure. Sure, you may have a sword fight on it, you may kill zombies outside of it, but your main purpose was to explore the structure, and hang out with your friends. Now, people could care less about the building, as long as there are guns, zombies, and "hawt pixul gurlz". Part of this change has been in the overwhelming increase of stupid 7 year olds joining Roblox, but half of it is our fault. People just don't build cool things anymore. Take a look at this trailer:

http://www.roblox.com/PlayTrailer.swf

That's what Roblox is all about. You build something awesome, share it with your friends, and maybe add a few weapons to make a game of it along the way. The key to making Roblox fun again is to build cool things. You should build something and make a game along the way, not struggle to push out a game and build the bare minimum.

What can you do?

Build something.

Open Roblox Studio, and just start building. Make something cool. What we need to realize is that Roblox is a BUILDING game. No matter what update the admins may push out, they can never change the players. No matter what this game turns into, for us, it's a BUILDING game.

So, what are you waiting for?

Make something you can be proud of.

Everyone, just try it. Build something cool in Roblox Studio, we'll start to get more classics like Crossroads and Chaos Canyon if you just try to build.

When joined, I didn't build anything. I thought, "What's the point?" because it would never reach the front page. However, I've learned that building is fun, and it's what this game is all about.


Forgive my typos, I'm writing this on my iPod.

Previous post was directed a flashfire.

The whole structure could be made of pink blocks with green polka dots for all I care. It's not how "pretty" the game is, it's how interesting and/or expansive the structure is. Do you know how fun it is to explore a giant stone castle with your friends? That's the true meaning of Roblox.
