Signtist@bookwyr.me 3 weeks agoI remember when my nephew first asked it I played knew about Roblox. I was so excited to build some stuff with him, until he showed me this crappy superhero fighting simulator. I can't complain too much, since it's basically the new-age version of crappy flash games, but it was still a disappointment.

I mean, was Roblox more about building in the past? To me, or at least when I played it back as a 10 yr old or so, Roblox was always about playing the diverse amount of games. If you wanted to build stuff, that was for Minecraft. I was always playing party games, anime clones, survival games, etc.

I found it back in the mid-2000's while I was looking for a video game where I could build stuff, similar to legos, so when I played it all I did was make castles and robots and whatever. Maybe you could make minigames for people like they do now, but it didn't seem like it was the main focus, at least from what I had seen back then.

You say “when you were 10 years old” but that is no metric for time. That could be last year due all anyone knows. When I first saw anything about Roblox, the vibe was about building like Minecraft but more creative mode.

Someone has to create those games.
And that happened in-game.

Yeah, I played a ton on a server called like ultimate build where it was an open plain with a bunch of blocks to build. You could make planes, cars, boats anything really just like lego.
