Roblox 2019

Description

Roblox Studio
Roblox is a game creation platform which allows players to create their own games using its proprietary engine, Roblox Studio. Games are coded under a object oriented programming system utilizing the programming language Lua to manipulate the environment of the game.[4] Users are able to create game passes, which are purchasable content through one-time purchases, as well as microtransactions through developer products. Developers on the site exchange Robux earned from various products on their games into real world currency through the Developer Exchange system.[5] A percentage of the revenue from purchases is split between the developer and Roblox.[6][7] Roblox Studio supports importing shadow mapping,[8] parallax mapping, and screen post-processing effects.[9]

Players
Roblox allows players to buy, sell, and create virtual items. Clothes can be bought by anyone but only players with a Builders Club membership can sell them.[10] Only Roblox administrators can sell accessories, body parts, gear, and packages under the official Roblox user account.[11] Items with a limited status can only be sold on the catalog or traded with Builders Club.[12]

Robux is the virtual currency in Roblox that allows players to buy various items. Players can obtain Robux through real life purchases, another player buying their items, or from earning daily Robux with a membership.[6][13]

Events
Roblox occasionally hosts real life and virtual events. One such event is their Developers Conference.[14] They hold virtual Easter egg hunt events annually and previously hosted events such as BloxCon.[6] Other virtual events are sales that commonly occur in America, such as Black Friday,[15] Memorial Day,[16] and Labor Day.[17] They also hold sponsored events for newly released movies and other media in which new items and sometimes original games are introduced for users to buy and play.[18]

Development
The beta version of Roblox was created by co-founders David Baszucki and Erik Cassel in 2004.[19][20] Baszucki started testing the first demos that year.[21]

Roblox was released on August 27, 2006.[2]

In March 2007, Roblox became compliant with COPPA, with the addition of safe chat, a change that limited users under the age of thirteen to communicating by selecting predefined messages from a menu.[22] In August, Roblox added Builders Club, a premium membership, and applied server improvements.[23]

In December 2011, Roblox held their first Hack Week, an annual event where Roblox developers work on innovative outside-the-box ideas for new developments to present to the company.[24][25]

On December 11, 2012, Roblox released an iOS version of the game platform.[26]

On October 1st, 2013, Roblox released the Developer Exchange system, allowing developers to exchange Robux earned from their games into real world currency.[27][28]

HQ - Trivia & Words
On May 31, 2015, a feature called 'Smooth Terrain' was added, increasing the graphical fidelity of the terrain and changing the physics engine from a block-oriented style to a smoother and more realistic style.[29] On November 20, Roblox was launched on Xbox One, with an initial selection of 15 games chosen by Roblox staff.[30] New Roblox games for this console will have to go through an approval process, and are subject to the Entertainment Software Ratings Board standards.[31]

In April 2016, Roblox launched Roblox VR for Oculus Rift. At the time of release, more than ten million games were available in 3D.[32] Around the same time period, the safe chat feature was removed and replaced by a system based on a whitelist with a set of acceptable words for users under 13 years old and on a blacklist for other users.[33] In June, the company launched a version compatible with Windows 10. While the game platform has had a PC presence since 2004 with its web version, this is the first time it was upgraded with a standalone launcher built for Windows.[34]

Reception and revenue
During the 2017 Roblox Developers Conference, officials said that creators on the game platform (about 1.7 million)[35] collectively earned at least $30 million in 2017.[14] A developer covered his undergraduate education at Duke University using funds from his creation.[36]

Jailbreak is one of most popular games on the site, accumulating tens of thousands of concurrent players daily, and cited as one of the best games to play on Roblox.[37][38][39] Jailbreak was featured in Roblox's Ready Player One event, based around the release of the film, though it was met with criticism for the difficulty of the challenge and for a malfunctioning quest involving the train to get one of four rewards.[40]

Toy line
In January 2017, Jazwares, a toy fabricator, teamed up with the Roblox Corporation to produce toy minifigures based on user-generated content created by large developers on the platform.[41] The toys were announced on Roblox's blog in February.[42] The minifigures have limbs and joints similar to that of Lego minifigures. The minifigures also have limbs and accessories that are interchangeable. All of the sets include a code that can be used to redeem virtual items. There are also blind boxes that contain random minifigures and have a chance to contain a mystery figure.[43]
