Bus Driver City 4.0 Beta!

Some might of known, but Bus Driver City 4.0 is coming up to Beta, allowing people to test for 5 minutes! The team is working hard getting all of this done, and fixing. 4.0 is being delayed a bit, as MasterDaniel has exams, but, we hope for 4.0 to come on February or early March!
Updated by RobloxianFire2. Reason: Fixing title spelling.

Sorry for the lack of posts recently and ROBLOX Reviews but I am currently busy with important exams. Schedule should go back to normal by next weekend.
Also, I am looking for writers, so if you want to be a writer, emails me masterdanielrlbx@gmail.com

Official ROBLOXia Today Group!

Hi guys. Today I am going to tell you about the new official ROBLOXia Today Group on ROBLOX. I suggested the idea to MasterDaniel a couple of weeks ago and we came to the conclusion that it will be a good idea. And of course, as the graphics designer on the blog, I designed the logo for the group. So, if you like the blog, why not join the group?

I hope you all have a great day and I will see you next time. ;)

ROBLOX Reviews: Gold Miner vs Ultimate Assassin

Edition #9

This is a not so regular edition. I don't like saying its a special edition because its sheduled for today. However, there is a slight mix up; todays reviews are not necessarily popular games. They have a fair number of visits, around 300,000 each. These are highly favourited games too.

Gold Miners by shadow775

Idea: 6/10

The idea for this place has clearly taken inspiration from Epic Mining 2, a game that I recently reviewed. It is pratically the same thing. However this seems to be originally scripted and has other things too. Like Lava.


Gameplay: 5/10

I played the game for about 5 minutes before quitting. Its fairly boring. The gold mine isn't infinite like in Epic Mining 2 and is actually quite small in comparison. There are a few upgrades you can get by buying VIP or getting gold and then buying them in a simple shop.

Scripting: 7/10

They say that you can't judge a book by its cover and you certainly can say that about this place. The scripting is suprisingly good. Maybe the place owner is just not a great builder. The gold dissapears when you step on it and there is some lava and shops. You keep track of how much gold you collect and also buy things in a shop. There is actually some good scripting here.


Enviroment: 3/10
The enviroment is very small and basic, and this is including the mining too. There isn't really much to say about this, so have a look at a screenshot of the place.

Enjoyment: 5/10

This place can be quite entertaining, but if you know that Epic Mining 2 exists, this will look bad in comparison. If I am fair, it is quite a good place, but the inspiration is quite obvious. Also, I don't think playing with friends would make much difference on the enjoyment of this place.

Ultimate Assassin by hikia

Idea: 10/10 

In this game you could be an assasin, the target, or someone who must defend the target! Its very original, on ROBLOX at least.

Gamplay: 8/10

The gameplay can quickly become very repetitive, but it is still fun nevertheless. You either play as a target, an assassin or a defender of the target. You play in different maps and must kill the assassin before he kills the target!

Scripting: 9/10

The scripting in this place is really good. From an afk option which you can be forced into, to the round scripts. Theres also a really cool script that changes your arm/gun position to where you are pointing with your cursor.

Enviroment: 7/10

The enviroment is very cool. There are many maps that you could play and most of them are very unique. The one I am playing above is one with exploding AI cars! The constant map change is very fun indeed.

Enjoyment: 8/10

The constant change in map keeps this game fresh for a while. The shop makes you want to keep playing and so does the game itself. Its really good. This would be really good with friends too!

ROBLOX Reviews: Stranded vs Reign of Chaos Tycoon

Edition #8

Welcome to another ROBLOX Review. This post was created in advance :D
Lets dive straight in and play! Then I shall write the reviews!

Stranded by crazyman32

Idea: 10/10
The idea is completely original! Your plane crashes on an island and you have to survive and find civilisation! 

Gameplay: 9/10
The gameplay is great, it has really nice cutscenes and much more, but it can be frustrating when you are trying to find somewhere, like at the clearing for example. However, it is still really fun to play.

Scripting: 10/10
Hey, its crazyman32. Did you expect anything less than a 10 for this? The scripting in this game is amazing, better than all his previous work. The cutscenes are perfectly scripted and so are checkpoints and tokens. I don't think it could get any better.


Environment: 9/10

The environment is very large and empty. It fits with the story though! You are on an Island far from anywhere! I think that there is too much terrain in the first part, but then you visit a nice little village. The environment in this game is very good.

Enjoyment: 10/10

The game is very, very enjoyable. This game doesn't fall short when it comes to playing with friends and thats because you don't play with others. Your stranded! You may see the occasional survivor but this game isn't a multiplayer game. This means that it works perfectly for one player and a multiplayer version isn't badly incorporated. 

This game just makes you want to keep on playing. I spent about 30 minutes on there until I realised I had a review to do! It is very addictive and overall a fantastic game.

 Reign of Chaos Tycoon by Devin5134

Idea: 6/10

The idea is not very original, its a war tycoon. Not a brilliant and creative idea like Stranded. There was not much difference between this and other tycoons. 

Gameplay: 3/10

The gameplay here is very bad. Like all other tycoons, you press buttons and wait for cash to accumulate. This game has a vehicle or two, but that is not enough to make the gameplay score any higher than 3.



Scripting: 4/10
The scripting seems okay, but sometimes it breaks. Anyway, this game might have been made from a starter kit on free models, so the scripting isn't original. It doesn't seem original anyway.


Environment: 4/10
The enviroment is a green baseplate with 6 tycoons. The actual tycoon structure that you are building is mediocre but not great.

Enjoyment: 3/10
The only enjoyment I could see me getting from this, is the satisfaction when you complete the tycoon. It might be fun to have a race with your friends too.

Final Scores

Idea: 10/10 vs 6/10

STRANDED WINS

Gameplay: 9/10 vs 3/10

STRANDED WINS

Scripting: 10/10 vs 4/10

STRANDED WINS

Environment: 9/10 vs 4/10

STRANDED WINS

Enjoyment: 10/10 vs 3/10

STRANDED WINS

The winner, with 5 wins out of 5 is:

Stranded!

Next time: Gold Miner vs Ultimate Assassin

New Feature: Studio for Mac

Its finally here! If you have a mac, this is the news you have been waiting for.
STUDIO IS NOW IN BETA FOR MAC!

Lets have a look in depth at what each part looks like

Toolbar

Everything thats in the normal studio is here too. Some of it has been moved, like the Play, Pause and Rewind buttons. They are next to terrain now.

Properties

Wait, what! You can search for properties. This is something that is not in the PC version of ROBLOX Studio! Apart from that, not much has changed with the studio version, except for coloured lines

Explorer

The explorer that you will find in the Mac version is much like the PC version, except its alot cleaner looking!

Output

The output is exactly the same as it is in the PC version but with the Macs iconic style

Finally, if your a Mac user, you can download the Beta version* here from ROBLOX's servers. It should be fully released in a few weeks!
