You could say this is my Autobiography. I wrote this so that people would know about me and possibly, quite possibly, not get nearly as much spam (unlikely).

--{History}--

Well, I joined Roblox on February 23, 2008 at 10:58 AM. As I write this I near my 5th year on Roblox, and I have enjoyed all of it. I hope to continue building games people enjoy playing.

I started out by building “frozen worlds” or pretty much lands that were made out of anchored bricks, almost zero scripting involved, very fun to build. I built a few towns, I built whatever I wanted. My first vaguely famous game was “General Grievous Obby” and it got two thousand visits and got to the first page on New Year’s Eve.

I got really excited about building. Soon after that I got TBC, then OBC. By the time I got OBC I had dozens of Ideas – and a place for each one. Over the next 3 years I just built with a sense of childlike wonder. During this time my games slowly picked up scripting.

This is mostly because of my Friend Mog398. He made a group called “The Elite Freedom” pretty much your generic war group that are literally everywhere now. But this was before the “Group” function came out. The new technology we found in free models encouraged me to learn how to script and I slowly started understanding.

I started drifting away from the Elite Freedom, and more towards my own projects. During this time I created “Transformers Revenge of the Fallen” and “Transformers Dark of the Moon” – both earned me about 40,000 visits, and Dark of the Moon earned me about 20,000 robux from VIP, which I used to put up more ads.

After that I started to work on “Star Wars: Death Star Battle” and “Battle an AT-AT” both earning about another 40,000 visits.

Also during these years, I remade and remade and re-released on New Year’s Eve the General Grievous Obby 3 times. When I finished the 3rd time I barely got any visits, so I believe that that was the last of the remakes, and with a sad note I have taken that game off my front page of games. The Spring Break of 2012, I went on a cruise ship, and decided to build a cruise ship. I called this game “Atlantic Cruise Ship” it was fun to build, and didn’t require much scripting. It got approximately 80,000 visits the week after the release, since then it has gotten about 50,000 more.

I really got famous on May 4th, this recent year, since then I have gotten over one million visits. My game, SuperHero City, had just taken off – I didn’t even put up an ad. But I came home from school to find out my game had over one thousand people on it.

Since then I have made maybe eight other games, most of them on completion get ranging from one thousand to two hundred fifty thousand. I enjoy building and make games that I want to play; with the exception of the SuperHero Games.

I don’t talk about this often – but I don’t particularly care for superheroes, sure I like the movies, but I really don’t care about them that much. The only reason that I made the first superhero game was because I was sickened by how pathetic the other superhero games were at the time. The only good superhero game that I remembered ever playing was Dued1’s superhero city. Sadly they have removed it.

I got so rich off of superhero city, that I could fund the projects I enjoyed making. That led to the success of my Avatar Game. It was fun to build, and others seem to have fun on it. I also got a bit of fame off of Post-Apocalyptic Tycoon. Both these games I truly enjoyed making. And they took off! Due to my fame and the ability to put up tens of thousands on ads, I now have the resources I need to build the games I want.

I call that period, the Golden Period, everything was fun, all my games worked, and it was paradise. Then I realized that I was starting to run out of money, so I decided to start working on Superhero City 2. It was a total failure, the map was too big, and the subway didn’t even work. I had wasted weeks on it, and earned only about 30,000 robux. Still it was a nice cushion, and I built a few more games.

Soon that ran out and I was in my last 50,000 robux, only enough to advertise about 2.5 games. So I started development of Superhero City 3. I remade all the suits, and remade all the weapons (or most of them).

I made the map smaller, and it was ready to go. I made the official release and was horrified to see that all the suits were breaking for some unknown reason. I immediately took down the ads. Losing all the money I had invested in them, leaving me only enough for about 1 game.

What’s worse, even when I took down the ads, people KEPT ON VISITING; I got over 100,000 visits, and earned about 100,000 from VIP.

I felt like a jerk because of all the people who bought the VIP and it didn’t work. I was determined to fix it. About a week later I had officially fixed everything and, put up another ad (Thanks to the VIP I had enough for up to 6-7 ads).

Then, like a returning nightmare; the teleports broke; people were stuck in the spawn room with superpowers. I took down the ad again, luckily people stopped visiting. I rerouted all the teleports into two spots, good and evil. I stepped back from the game after that, tired of it.

During that weekend I developed and created “Modern Combat” which was fairly simple to make and used all the new gun gears that Roblox had created. It went well, and after that game my life went pretty smooth. I put up another ad for SuperHero City 3, and everything worked about 95% percent of the time – which was good enough for me.

Following this, I had enough money to build the games I wanted again – and I was struck by “builders block”. I would start to build a game, then get bored and start to build another game. I did this for about 6-7 games. I have settled on “Ragdoll Wars” which seems to be going well, and I haven’t gotten bored of yet. This brings me to the present.

--{Facts about Me}—

Donating: I do not do it. I didn’t always have money on Roblox and I still never asked for donations, why should others ask me for donations?

Talking: I do not mind talking to you, if you want to talk, it will be in message form, I won’t be able to meet with you.

Parties: I do not party people, and I turned my party settings off a long time ago. Mostly because when I go to parties it’s almost always someone who is my fan. I appreciate my fans, but I usually only meet with people if I enjoy there company too. I just don’t like people acting star struck, I just can’t get used to it.

Building: I don’t build with others, people every day ask me to help build their games. It’s not necessarily that I don’t WANT TO, it’s just that I only have so much time on Roblox each day, and I want to use that building MY GAMES. And I get so many requests from other people to help build their games odds are I would spend up to 4 hours a day helping people who I don’t even know. What I will do though, is answer specific question, like how to do something specific.

Teaching: As I mentioned earlier, I will answer specific questions, but I can’t mentor you to be a master builder. I can’t just TEACH you scripting, it’s something you learn through experience. I’m sorry but I can’t.

Groups: Want me to join your group? As long as I don’t have to do much for the group it depends what mood I am in.

Places: I do not sell my game, or give it away – I’m sorry but those games are ME, it would be like selling you my arm or leg.

Sponsoring: I am sorry but I will not put your group name in my game descriptions anymore – simply because you didn’t help me build it, so why should you get any credit.

VIP: I am never, ever going to change any of the prices of my VIP.

Apologies: I am sorry if you have read these and think I am a jerk – most of these things I wouldn’t mind if only ONE person asked me, but I get literally hundreds of these requests, and I could never be able to do them all. I really wish I had an unlimited amount of money so I could donate, I wish I had an unlimited amount of time to teach you scripting. I answer all the letters that don’t violate anything above and I try to do so with a smile.

I hope you enjoyed this autobiography, I can’t say I have told you everything – but you get the picture: I am just an average kid like you out there, who has been blessed with a natural building ability. I hope you enjoy my games, I may have made them for me and my enjoyment – but I had you all in mind.
