Just bringing some opinions/news to you guys. A while ago Shedletsky posted a video showing off Roblox's 200,000 bricks demo using a map that was built by Blocklanders.
Now, Roblox discussed about their ideas for the future of Roblox, here they talked about the shadows and Vertex Lighting they want to implement into Roblox as well as a few other things.
First, Roblox is ditching their beveled bricks (or at least thinking so). (Bevels are what make the bricks look round-ish, not sure why they are doing this unless they want to increase FPS, they've had bevels in since late 2008 or early 2009.)
Instead they will have these,
The edges are jagged because the image was re sized, Blockland bricks pretty much have this outline, not as dark and noticeable but when comparing it they look similar. Roblox is however original these, they want to make the lines only show up when you get close to them and fade away as you move back (probably a cover up to help improve FPS).
Second, Roblox showed off this picture
To start off, this doesnt really look Roblox style, Roblox's vehicles are usually made with larger bricks but whatevs ill let that slide. The second thing is that Roblox's ramps/wedges have and always looked like the brick inside the purple circle. They never had that part where the slope goes down and then its straight. The other ramps that are circled in red have never been in Roblox. I am not sure where they got this idea, but considering how Shedletsky copied a Blockland map I am not sure. They could have copied Lego with the ramps, or in lego known as roof tiles, but I again I am not sure.
What do you think? I wont be replying to this btw, im just bored today.
I am maybe being a bit paranoid, but Roblox always gets their ideas off someone else (their terrain was really based on minecraft terrain).
