Question Time
Q: When did you join ROBLOX?
A: I joined Roblox on September 24th, 2008.
Q: What do you enjoy more? Building, or Scripting? Why?
A: I enjoy scripting more. I like the challenge of making something work, which will then make what I built into a game. I don't hate building, but I'm just not as good at it than a bunch of other people who are known for their building.
Q: What/Who inspired you to become a Game Developer?
A: Before Roblox, I was inspired by Runescape, Simcity4, the creators of Age of War, Swords and Sandals, and Sonny. Once I got to Roblox one of my biggest inspirations was stickmasterluke, and he still is today.
Q: What do you feel is more important? Building, or Scripting? Why?
A: I think scripting is more important to make a game have gameplay, but the gameplay wouldn't mean anything without a nice world. Scripting is a bit more important though.
Q: What tips would you give to the average player that wants to be successful?
A: Start off simple, don't start with a grand idea because it is super hard to finish a complicated game if you are just starting out.
Q: What tips for selling Game specific items (game Passes, etc.) would you give to upcoming developers?
A: Don't sell gamepasses that will ruin the gameplay for other people. I've done this before, and I don't even like the game any more (Laserbike Racing)
I hope this helps you all out on your game development adventure! Keep building and be unique. Have a good day!
