ROBLOX Group: The Federal States of America

Hello guys, this article is just talking about an active, growing group.

The Federal States of America (or FSA) is a group led by SirMackSmith. After speaking to him for a short while at FSA's main fort, I got this quote from him,

"FSA, the first group of it started in 2012, and I'd been its Builder since September that year. FSA was at its height of 6000 members, but then the previous owner shut it down. My 2nd in command (JavierM16) and I actually came back to Roblox just to rebuild FSA and then we started the current group on 3/16/2014, so we're just under 3 months old. All me and Javier want is to recreate the group that so many people loved, and we're trying our best - working day in and day out to make sure the group runs smooth and is moving in the right direction."

It is a bit of a mouthful, but there is the story behind FSA and unlike so many other groups, this story wasn't created out of the imagination but actually happened. SirMackSmith and JavierM16 along with others actually got to see this happen firsthand, going through the ups and the downs.

A Moment with Steven1411, Travel Creator

"Hello, how are you doing today?" I ask Steven. He responds after a few seconds: "Great. I suppose we'll begin?"

Steven1411 is an exhilarating example of evolution. Having joined ROBLOX in March of 2011, he has accomplished a lot: creating, maintaining, and building aircraft and airports and even some aviation groups. Recently though, it's been more about the travel than the particular sector he once specialized exclusively in. We're in a room with no doors, the room is dark with a single light. At one end of the table is myself. At the other end, no more than 20 studs away is Steven1411. Steven is wearing a 3.0 body - a suit. I get straight to the point. What follows is an in depth interview with Steven1411, an outstanding example of a ROBLOX aviation creator. Throughout the interview, he remarks to why aviation

Game Spotlight: Natural Disaster Survival by Stickmasterluke

Hello everyone! This is my first review as a Game Journalist on Roblox News. If you're wondering why I've been inactive since being hired, I've been battling an unexpected crash of my new Dell computer since February, and just recently got the replacement. I'm so glad to have it back!

I'll kick off my first article by writing on a very favorite game of mine, Natural Disaster Survival .

Like Flappy Birds? Check out Flappy Blox!

Hey guys, the game Flappy Blox isn't very popular yet, but I hope it gets there!

Flappy Blox is a game based on the new addicting app, Flappy Bird. Although Flappy Blox isn't exactly like Flappy Birds, it comes close. It was created by Worsen, who also made the game Territory Conquest which has over 2 million visits.

The Thumbnail for Flappy Blox


Flappy Blox has almost 7000 place visits, but even in it's early stages it is extremely professional looking. It has plenty of Guis which make it look hi-tech but when you get right down to it, it's just a bird going through pipes.

I have found that it is easier than the app Flappy Bird, but not by much. My high score is 22, and I have played over a hundred times, but then again I am not too great at Flappy Bird either. When you first get on to the game, you have 3 Options:
Spectate - Watch other people play Flappy Blox
Play - Play Flappy Blox
Customize - Choose whether to be a Chicken, Bunny, Snowman, Penguin or Dino

Both Spectate and Customize are extras that aren't included in Flappy Bird itself, so it is good to see that the owner decided to take the game a step or 2 further.
Spectate is a good way to maybe pick up how fast other people click, and when they click.
Customize is going to include new colours soon, but right now it has those 5 choices. The Chicken is the starter and the Bunny, Snowman, Penguin and Dino are all Gamepasses that you can buy (They only cost 25Rs each).

The chicken or Dino or whatever you choose will be your character, unlike some other Flappy Bird games on Roblox, it isn't animated but instead looks just like the packages, except at a side angle and without legs.
Just a little view of the game, the helper is 1funnygame2
There isn't much else that I can add except maybe, PLAY NOW!

Spotlight: Wobbly Brickbattle by Maelstronomer

While I myself am surprised that I'm getting another article out this soon, I really couldn't wait to write about this interesting game I stumbled upon. Wobbly Brickbattle may seem like your traditional Brickbattle map, but it quickly becomes apparent that is not the case.

Utilizing the new materials and water, Maelstronomer has shown the potential of what these features can do to enhance the look of a place if given a chance. While building is somewhat simple and in the style of Crossroads the game has some interesting gimmicks to spice things up. But, why is the game called "wobbly brickbattle"? Well, your camera has been modified to wobble around, along with your character. This isn't exactly detrimental to regular gameplay but creates a cool effect.

And yes, before you ask the map is entirely destructible. Well, with the exception of the trampoline. By far the coolest part of the game though is the terrain will sink into the sand at random intervals, and come up good as new. I don't know if these were done by Maelstronomer or ROBLOX, but each of the different materials have different walking sounds, not to mention there's a new jumping sound if you like attention to detail.

As a showcase, the place easily delivers. As a brickbattle slightly less so, but that's just because I dislike the ammo limits on all of the weapons but the sword but that's only temporary from what I've been told. So if you come to this place while a decently sized server is up, you might have a blast perhaps? The map will be expanded in size since even I think it's kind of small right now even if what's there is pretty good. Mainly with elements from the ROBLOX Battle map Raven Rock.

But I digress, if you've never heard of Maelstronomer before I really recommend you check out some of his other work, like the famous Doom Caverns which still remains to this day one of my favorite ROBLOX places. Back on topic though, keep an eye on this place as there may be some big expansions to it soon and I personally can't wait to see what else is done with it.

So what are you waiting for? Go play it, or something.

ConnorVIII and his collection of Games

Tron's Laser Training_ImageHey guys, decided to do this article about a Robloxian I met not that long ago, maybe a month ago, maybe shorter. I went to his game, Tron 3: Fight For The Grid thinking about doing a article on it. That was back when it had roughly 200 visits, I think. It was nothing I expected, it was made out of Asphalt blocks from the 'High Scability' section when on a Personal Server. Before I wrote the article, I gave him some tips on the game-passes and a few other things. Tron 3 now has nearly 50,000 visits, which is quite fast considering most people's games.


Temple Run 2 : Retake The Idol -NEW COINS- 6K_ImagWhen I first met Connor, I saw he already had a game called Temple Run 2: Retake The Idol and on his blurb he stated that you may know him from Temple Run 2, which has obviously now changed. It had roughly 10k visits when I saw it for the first time, now it has nearly 14,500 visits. I haven't played the game myself, although I highly doubt it is bad, taking in to account his other games.

Empty Save Slot_ImageThe third game he made was a step up from Tron 3, as it was actual maps not bricks. It's called Simple Sword Bloxing and with a large 20,800+ visits, it isn't his lowest. I did test out this place and was amazed by the skill he had put in for some of the maps. It is fun to play, and easy to fight. You fight in a constant 'Free For All' although  you could team if you chose to. Again, he sold game-passes and the 'Chat-Voice' Game-Pass has nearly 600 buys, 50Rs each!

Empty_Image
Recently Connor made a game called Roblox Paintball which is definitely the most popular one, bordering on 48,000 visits, which isn't far from Tron 3. As I am writing this, Roblox Paintball has roughly 60 people playing, unlike Tron 3 which is less popular now-a-days with 3 or 4 people in-game. It is set as 2 separate teams (Red and Blue) fight against each other with guns that need no reloading, but can get overheated. The game is great, easy to fight and super cool, it has hidden passages and towers, and all kinds of guns.

Project_Image
Connor's last game is on a platform higher than the others. Evil Bloxikins is the Bloxikin hats with  larger meshes, and are evil. You roam the hills killing them as they attack, unlocking better guns. It is quite simple but with the Bloxikins added it is complex as well as simplistic. I enjoy Evil Bloxikins a huge amount, as it is constant fighting, using guns and running back and forth killing as many as possible.


I know I haven't written masses for each game, but they are brief descriptions so you can check them out but not have to search through huge paragraphs to find the links. Watch out though, Connor has a new game coming out soon with Zombies and more!

ConnorVIII is a great guy, he is friendly and generous and popular. To see his profile just go to the link below.

Thanks guys, I hope you try out his games :D Also, as you probably know, I always put a link at the bottom with my Robloxian name. As of late, I have changed my name from Bennyhill44 to Prolixen.

Place Spotlight: Holkham Hall

Hello guys, a new Place Spotlight Article from me again. I chose this because I asked a ROBLOXian - Rosie92680, if he would vote on my Halloween Costume, and he said he would and in return I had to go to his place. All I expected was a basic place....not Holkham Hall, which turned out to be magnificent.

I truly believe it is one of the best places I have ever seen, a few bits I would remove but overall it is stupendous. Holkham Hall was created by Rosie on the 17th of October, 2011. Every part of it, removing 2 pieces, is perfectly fitting into the whole scene. It all matches, and works as a work of art when placed together as it is.

Rosie created Holkham Hall in the hope she would someday be noticed by the Roblox Blog, so I thought this would be nearly as good, having a Roblox News article on it's beauty. If nothing else happens after this article is published, the least Rosier deserves is constant visitors, meaning thousands upon thousands on place visits. I am no expert on Building, but by my standards - and most likely half the Roblox population - I think Holkham Hall should allow Rosie to be accepted into EBR, which for those of you who don't know, is Elite Builders of Roblox, the best Building group on Roblox.

I cannot describe Holkham Hall in words, mainly because it is too beautiful but also because there is just no description that fits in with it all. Instead, I will show off some pictures.

Me playing the Piano
This picture (To my left) shows the grand staircase, with 2 Statues and the Grand Piano. The piano itself is unique, yes many people can make a piano, but with that much detail? Nope! The statues are very creative, doing something only a little amount of people ever think of doing...cutting off the legs to replace with a small podium. The Staircase is marvellous, folded curves, mini steps, rounded edges....flawless.





Here, again, me playing the piano. This time it shows the front door + windows and some columns, plus the upstairs doors. As you can see, the windows allow light in, but in a darker shade. The door isn't super clear, but from that angle does look perfect. The columns (Top Left) are rounded but also square, a mix and match situation it seems. They are a lovely beige color and are placed with accuracy. The pattern round both the bottom and top of the stylish wallpaper is wavy, literally.

The Citadel: The Pinnacle of Sci-Fi Gaming Experience

The Citadel, a majestic Sci-Fi experience by ROBLOX user SerpentNebula was featured in my "Top Seven Best Designed Places," which I was a personal fan and had a deep love for the creativity and overwhelming tangibility of such a game. The experience was great, and not long after I did the "Top Seven," I took to The Citadel for exploration and a few interviews with C-SEC, The Citadel's own security enforcement, and would get a tour from an ally of C-SEC!
A view of the Citadel's exclusive and partially off-limits area.

First impressions from entering were obvious: an absolute sensory spectacular is what lay around me. I turned the camera and caught each and every angle of it. I admired the detail, the people here, and of course the windows, doors, and custom decals. I also noticed an absolutely great use for dynamic lighting in the almost neon signs in the marketplaces and other places in The Citadel.

I had the opportunity to purchase a flying car in the game!

I had the time while I visited the place to interview a few people, UberJNemeis007 was one of the few I had the time to talk to!

We were inside a store that sold flying cars, which was guarded by the police and overwatching C-SEC and Blue Sun when I got the opportunity to talk with him.

"My job is working for the Blue Suns; a merc. group. Guns for hire. They prefer protecting citizens from danger. We rival against the abusive Eclipse."

I asked him a little bit about the average day here. I heard about riots and crazy crowds of civilians and criminals that would break into areas that were: "off-limits".

The traffic out the window moves!
"No sir, this is the only major riot we've had this month. Daily, everything is fine. This group isn't really even more than a month old; yet it grew quite big."

I mentioned myself featuring the place on my "Top Seven" a few days back.

"Have you seen the traffic?"

I answered that it was really something. People that aren't familiar with the traffic; he is referring to the flying cars. A stunning feature of this place is a perfect use of decals to make an almost gif-like movement of flying cars out the windows of The Citadel.

A fellow Blue Sun member of Uber's came over and offered me an M7 gun. I accepted it on terms of security use.

One of the shots of C-SEC and Blue Sun securing the Motors Area!

I asked him about the rumored "floor five" that I had heard about. Suspiciously, he states nothing is on Floor Five, and that it is a C-SEC only area.

As I conclude the interview, he catches up to me and we talk a few more minutes. Then I walk on to continue exploring the place. He came back a few minutes later and offered me a tour of The Citadel, a good ten to twenty minutes is what we spent looking around at the beautiful work and design as I took the pictures seen above, and admired the completely beautiful details put into it.

By the time the tour was over, I had known what I was writing about next, The Citadel: A Sci-Fi Experience Like No Other. People interested in The Citadel are seriously encouraged to go check it out; and if you want to help secure The Citadel and keep it safe, join C-SEC or Blue Sun!

The Citadel was a great Sci-Fi game, but it wasn't just the game that made it good. It was the design, the people that made it run, and the experience of it all that made it amazing.

Group Spotlight: Kestrel

Hello Viewers! I have been working in Kestrel over the past few days, finding good things to say in my article on them as a whole, and my, I have a lot of good things. They have been friendly, generous and welcoming. Now onto the main stuff, Clothing, the HomeStore and the Kestrel group.

A relaxing day at the beach
The HomeStore is well known for it's detailed creations we know as clothing. It is large, three floors in fact, and each one is perfect. The first two are clothing, and the top floor is a disco room. On the first floor the have clothing ranging from polo shirts to full Suits. They even have a Tix section, with 5 t-shirts to choose from. The second floor is sort of like the 'Extra clothing' floor. It has Robes, Vests, Patriotic Items, Sports wear and many more! A door leads into a small room, on the second floor, this room is filled with comfy couches. and spotlights, there are 2 TVs and a security camera as well as a man selling 'Kestoda', 'Coke' and 'Pepsi'. The third floor, is really just lots of multicolored lights and a main light in the very center. It's not just the HomeStore itself that is magnificent, all around it are large brown cliffs, and there is a break away down to a beach. The beach has all you need, beach chairs and umbrellas, sand and water. In the gears selling at the HomeStore there is a 'Deluxe Beach Ball' gear, for anyone wanting some fun on the beach. The newest part of Kestrel HomeStore is the 'Zebalia' station, filled with 8 different alien outfits. There is also 5 hats for sale, hanging on pegs by one of the 4 entrances.

The clothing created at Kestrel is exquisite, divine and intricately detailed. Each piece has the 'Kestrel' pin on, so recognizable by all Robloxians. Every piece in the Kestrel HomeStore was created by one of their Designers, there are too many to state them all but here are some of them: ElikstarThegreatpufferRage009Mcbob31Diglet8. Also Kestrel's three Chief Design Officers,
RayBan1407
AndresDude
UhmSir
Kestrel clothing isn't limited to just the Kestrel HomeStore though, the Designers sell their clothing the group store plus they have stores and shops all around Roblox, the two most popular places include Cooldude215's group place, [UK] City of London, United Kingdom and Juliane14's group place, [ITA] City of Rome, Italy. I mentioned both those places because Kestrel wanted to thank them for being the first two places to set up a store for Kestrel.

The group of Kestrel is well known, it is the most successful clothing group in all of Roblox and the 2nd largest on Roblox. The largest clothing group is known as Tiger, which slowly scraped past Kestrel although it was made after. Kestrel was founded by FighterAce who then moved on and Kestrels ownership was handed over to XT0NISH who sadly quit Roblox only recently. Kestrel is now owned by Ojo1234 who is doing Kestrel a world of good and has made them more successful than they have ever been. He doesn't run Kestrel alone though, Magicalbeakz and EBear917 help him lots along the way. In fact, I actually interviewed EBear about Kestrel as a whole and he gave me this magnificent paragraph which I will post below,
“I could use so many positive words to explain Kestrel. I could without a doubt explain us as professional, welcoming, and caring. We truly model a realistic business. We strive to improve ourselves and our employee’s every day in hopes that it improves the customer experience. I, as well as many others, can truly say that Kestrel is an awe-inspiring business. I recommend, to all who have the chance to join Kestrel, to do your best to take advantage and enjoy your time with us.”
Beautiful. How he has stated their wonder, all the emotions he feels towards Kestrel and how he hopes so many more will share those emotions with him.

Hope you enjoyed this article!

Group Spotlight: Virtual Builders

Hi guys! Thought I may do a Group Review this time. I decided to do this article for viewers of Arbirator's Roblox News. Some viewers are probably looking for groups best suited to them, so I am writing these articles so they see the details of the group before actually joining. It also helps groups who cannot get members because no-one will give them a shot because they are new and small. Here, it doesn't matter, if you like the sound of the group I have reviewed just click the link to it at the bottom.

Past:
Until Monday 26th August, Virtual Builders was always known as Magic Builders. They are two separate groups but Magic Builders was the main until now. I am sure many people have heard of Magic Builders and of their recent forum post from their CEO, Magicalbeakz. He wrote about how most people in MB were inactive and uninterested in building so they decided to start afresh in a whole new group for only the active members to join and many more who want to join, that is where Virtual Builders come in.
 I interviewed Magicalbeakz myself and he said, and I quote, "As a whole, our executive team decided moving to a new corporation, with a fresh image, name, logo and projects would greater benefit our corporation and executive team."

A inside view of RS Atlantic
Since moving to Virtual Builders, they have started work on some magnificent places. The CEO himself has created this wonderful place, Research Station Atlantic which is his main project. As it says in the description of this wonder, it is for Virtual Builders to test weapons, research aquatic life, create robotics and learn engineering. Truly a wonder for everyone. It is still a Work in Progress but I think it is coming along great. 




It isn't just the CEO who is creating magnificent pieces though, take Warcrushx for example. He was just a ordinary member, until he created places like The Catacombs and VB Horizon and my personal favorite, Pantheon.
Inside view of the house in Catacombs
Those projects gave him the rank of 'Innovation Team' so he is known for his skills through all of Virtual Builders and Magic Builders. He is now going to be building fantastic things for VB in time to come. As a little tip if you enter the Catacombs, climb up the side grater and you will be teleported to a snowy semi-circle and there will be a house.

Not much else to say about Virtual Builders, except that for anyone wanting to join, VB is filled with builders and scientists alike trying to build and script the best places they can using teamwork and kindness to get there. They are working together to design and create new technological creations. They are working together to reach past the boundaries of science and space in the hope of finding bigger better scripts to run Roblox for future times.

Magic Builders is closed now, no-one else can join so please don't try.
If you want to join Virtual Builders, Click here
If you want to visit CEO Magicalbeakz's profile, Click here
If you want to visit Warcrushx's profile, Click here

Just think about it, the next group spotlight will be about a small war group!

The Tree that brings Life to Roblox

The Tree of Life at it's peak in beauty
When I first stepped onto the game that truly identified to me the reason why ROBLOX is the way it is, I was shocked into disbelief. Ravenshield has made three amazing places, but I feel that his latest project; “Tree of Life” is his best piece. Every part of it is detailed in such a way it looks lifelike. It is the perfect structure, with it’s rippling waves and falling leaves. It is a simplistic idea, but one of beauty.

If all ROBLOX games were` like the Tree of Life in the detail perspective then Roblox would rise from a child’s game into a professional game designing program.

 If I could, I would state my favorite part of the Tree of Life, but it’s simplistic beauty just overrides basic structures. I can honestly say, from seeing Ravenshield's place, I can see life through a new perspective, details to perfection. The way the water lowers and rises is just like those rare occasions where you see the wind blowing against the lake, where it isn't rushed or barely moving, but in fact, calm.

 It is built like rocks in the sea, rising higher, all the way up to the top where there is the Tree of Life. It’s leaves are slowly falling to the ground below, with the grace of swans and the glide of eagles. The trunk and branches are probably the most lifelike parts, with the roughness of it all just like the bark of a tree. The rocks too, are all extremely detailed with their rough edges and how they are all joint on together like they have been rushed, just like you see on cliff faces.
Tree of Life - Side View

 There is a dark solid wall all the way around the tree except the very top, where a dim yellow light shines down, all the way around the Tree of Life just like clouds are surrounding this delicate island, but the sun’s rays are just breaking through, onto the most delicate piece of it all.

 What I believe to be magical in a strange sense, are small white balls of light, gently, slowly floating around the edges of the Tree and through the leaves floating softly to the ground. Almost like fairies, shimmering around the Tree that brings everyone closer.

  See the beauty, here.

Yrreb: ROBLOX's Face of Travel

One of Yrreb's games is a train simulator from Tonbridge to Ashton!
Entering a place by yrreb is like stepping into a world of travel. From trains moving at the speed of 147 studs per second from Tonbridge to Ashton on rail to Calcia International where you may find a flying and beautiful 787-8 aircraft.

The word of Yrreb is no more than spectacular. His train simulators while a work in progress is great.


Besides the fact that yrreb is apart of what people define as the "Aviation Industry" on ROBLOX with his revolutionary group, RoAir; he has also had a serious past of hackers, exploiters, and threats against him and his games. To this day he stands as a center figure of ROBLOX Travel.

When I asked him about the aviation industry on ROBLOX nowadays, he commented:
"In all truthfulness, there is no longer such thing as an "industry." As airlines and companies in general are drifting apart, so are the people that stand for them. The growth of ROBLOX compensates for this as newcomers fill that gap and bring everyone together again ..."
In addition to that question, I asked him what drives him to make such great things on the platform known as ROBLOX.
"I think what inspires me about ROBLOX is the possibilities. A game itself can be up to 379 miles long, meaning that travel is key; especially in the future. It is also a way to bring people together to experience it for the first time. Flying is probably the main mode of travel on ROBLOX right now; as it is more of a generic interest."

That is not at all dramatized when he said that Flying is the main mode of travel on roblox, especially since RoAir has over one thousand members, and some time before that, there was a time when RoAir even had four thousand members!

"It is the fact that, doing what you do, you are building the scaffolding to what will be the ultimate game in the future; in that future, what we will know now will develop even more; we will see what everyone wants at the end of the light."

Yrreb's newest airport, Calcia International is a well designed and colorful paradise for his own airline, RoAir.
Besides yrreb's enormous success and great taste for design and screaming individuality in doing his own thing, he was the creator of ROBLOX's first meshed plane and he essentially brought light to what was the silent aviation side of ROBLOX, which since then has changed and become a hot topic for all of ROBLOX. Abuzz with more than one hundred aviation groups with RoAir being an elitist member of aviation on ROBLOX with it's quality flights, airports and excellent planes and flight experience; along with other such airlines like RoAir such as JetEire & Swedish Airlines, both lead by fellow friends of yrreb, Mrsmith23, the CEO of JetEire and Kooky1234567890, the owner of Swedish Airlines.

Yrreb is a clear personality for ROBLOX Travel. Not only being a great builder, great designer and an inspiration to hundreds of people who want to do similar things such as make train simulators, airports, airplanes and airlines, but a superb member of ROBLOX's community.

"I cannot be 100% certain on what my future is on ROBLOX, but I know that I will most likely be here for many years to come ... my hopes for the future accelerate to make others cheerful. I love making other people happy, and by basing building projects on such huge scales, people can explore to the edges of ROBLOX and we will all one day become a fair group of people."

Nowadays, yrreb is Yrrebrblx after his old account was terminated. You may check out some of the places featured in this article at from the links below.

Contact - An EPIC FPS

What is this?

Contact is a new First Person Shooter being developed by a small dedicated team of Robloxians. The game is being based around an open map (think Battlefield or Arma but on Roblox).I had the chance to speak to one of the main developers (FlightTheory) and discuss the production of this awesome WIP game.


Who are the developers?

The game is being developed by a team of 4; The coding and building is done by 3 main people (FlightTheory, pinkyblt and zhoutai189) then the guis, decals, thumbnails and minor code is completed by petro180. During my time of speaking with FlightTheory he was participating a group meeting and stream along with a pre-alpha game test in which I tried the game out with some temporary features. 

How do they work as a team?

The way they develop is very effective, they group call at the pre-set time and then decided what needs to be completed and by who or which people will work on it. Yesterday the were developing the regeneration system for the vehicles (the code was developed by zhoutai189 and FlightTheory).

When can I play it?

The game has been developed for around 6 months now but they take a laid back approach to the games development. I want to clarify I don't mean they are lazy more that they don't set dates where something MUST be completed by the just make it so features are perfect or up to standard before group supporters testing or release. they also do major script protection to protect their work so far. 
When I asked FlightTheory when the game would be in Alpha stage he replied with "2 - 3 weeks" but the then went on to say they don't like setting definitive dates for release as they don't want to rush and release a broken game. 

What can I expect?

You can certainly expect an addictive FPS which keeps you on the edge of your seat whilst not feeling too intense constantly. You will need to always watch out for vehicles flying above your head or appearing over the hilly terrain. If you wish to keep up to date join their Roblox group and watch their stream. They release new features for testing when they open it on the stream to  generate user feedback. They team is American coders and builders so expect the times to be unsociable if you are from the UK or elsewhere (it was opened just after midnight when I tested it).

RN Spotlight: Merely's Outfit Extension

If you are like me, and use chrome. You probably know about chrome extensions. I'm always on the lookout for ROBLOX extensions that make my time on ROBLOX more fun and less time consuming.

Have you ever felt fed up with changing your character so many times just to find the right look? Or even trying to remember that  perfect combo you found, but can't because you aren't able to find the hats that you are looking for?

Well then. This extension is perfect.

The Outfit Extension by Merely is a great addition to the character section, as it allows you to save outfits that you have created and easily get them back at the click of a button.

It's so easy to create and use outfits
This extension is perfect for those who change their character a lot, but just haven't got the time to create a new look.

Merely's Outfit extension is currently in beta, and wants users to report any bugs they find to Merely himself.

Good work on the extension, Merely.
