Egg Hunt 2012!
There is word that the egg hunt will begin soon and some of the eggs can already be previewed!
The hunt looks like it will take place here:
This is really eggciting! (Sorry!) and I will do a ROBLOX Review of the game place when the event is over. It is not yet clear whether you will have to search for them or watch them rain down in game.
Have fun!

New Body: Undercover Superhero
Wow, a new body has just been released. I wouldn't normally say "wow" to this but this is special. Why? Its NBC so everyone can buy it! Well if you have the 125 R$ price tag spare.
However, Its April 1st and there is a big reason to believe that this is an April Fools joke. Hopefully it isn't! (Maybe its a double-April Fools joke. A joke of a joke?!) and everyone can enjoy this new package.
One question is raised however; if it is a joke, what will happen to everyone that bought it?

ROBLOX Reviews: After the Flash: Sandstorm vs Military Rescue Mission
Wow, its been almost a month since the last ROBLOX Review! Sorry about that! Hopefully a normal schedule should be running from now until about May/June when I have more exams, but hopefully the other staff members will keep you updated!
Lets crack on with todays reviews!
Idea: 8/10
The idea behind this game seems to be very original though I have seen a similar game before. However, the games actual idea is a bit confused because you have weapons but nothing to use them on, at least, I couldn't find any in 10 minutes of playing.
Gameplay: 6/10
Because I couldn't find anything to shoot the gameplay soon got boring. It lags A LOT too and crashed my laptop 5 times before I could actually play.
Scripting: 7/10
There isn't a lot of scripting as far as I could tell, however it all works well. Such as picking your weapons and getting morphed. It works nicely but there could be more dynamic scripting.
Environment: 10/10
One thing that really catches your eye with this game is the outstanding environment. It is incredibly detailed and is super realistic. Its large and dynamic, however this comes at a price; its 14,000 bricks and alot of lag that comes from that. However, once the game has passed the 5 minute mark the lag drops noticeably.
Enjoyment: 7/10
I think this is a heavily-role-playing place. If you like that kind of thing then you can go around with your friends and shoot imaginary things! (I say that but mobs might exist!) Its also a great environment to explore!
Idea: 6/10
The idea has been used countless times before; rescue people who are fending off Zombies. Although this game is fairly creative with its use of rescue methods. Helicopters, Jets, Boats and more!
Gameplay: 7/10
You need to kill Zombies to survive until a rescue vehicle arrives to take you back to the aircraft carrier. Its fun, but theres nothing special about the zombies or the guns. If you are going to rescue people, fly or drive ashore and rescue them, however, theres not much space to land.
Scripting: 4/10
There is little scripting in this game apart from driving a vehicle, but I've seen the same GUI before. The guns work nicely however.
Environment: 5/10
The environment is a bit lack-luster. Its very plain and boring, however the carrier where the rescuers start is very good looking indeed.
Enjoyment: 6/10
This game could be enjoyed if you played with friends or like rescuing people, however I think that little scripting and a boring environment make the game not very enjoyable.
Final Scores
Idea: 8/10 vs 6/10
After the Flash: Sandstorm wins!
Gamplay: 6/10 vs 7/10
Military Rescue Mission wins!
Scripting: 7/10 vs 4/10
After the Flash: Sandstorm wins!
Environment: 10/10 vs 5/10
After the Flash: Sandstorm wins!
Enjoyment: 7/10 vs 6/10
After the Flash: Sandstorm wins!
With 4 wins out of 5, the winner is
After the Flash: Sandstorm!

Tutorial: How to use dialog in games.
Hey guys! Its RobloxianFire2 coming at you with another tutorial. In this tutorial, I will be showing you how you can use dialog to make your games more interesting. Dialog can be used to make NPCs for RPG games where the players can chat to the NPCs to get quests to do. I'm only going to show you the basics of dialog, if you want to get more advanced into the dialogs, you might want to read up on the ROBLOX wiki about it: wiki.roblox.com/.
Lets get started!
We need something to put the dialog into. I'm just going to use a simple 3x3x3 plate like this:
Right, time to insert the dialog. Head up to Insert > Object then click on Dialog.
In the explorer, you should now see the part and beneath it "Dialog".
Now, I am going to show you a bit about the options in the dialog.
First, we have the "InitialPrompt" option. This is what the NPC/brick with the dialog inside it will say when a player clicks on the dialog. For the purpose of this tutorial, I am going to make it say "Hello. Is there anything I can help you with?". To do this, just click the box next to "InitialPrompt" in the dialog and type what you want it to say. So, when you click on the dialog, you should get something like this:
Okay, so we have our dialog. Time to add some choices. To do this, select the dialog in the explorer, head up to Insert > Object then select "DialogChoice".
Lets go over some of the options.
UserDialog is the choices the player gets to choose from once the dialog has finished. When the player clicks on a choice, the ResponseDialog is what the thing with the dialog will say. In my case, I've made the player say "Who are you"? Once the player has selected the option, the brick will say "I'm Mr.Brick. I am part of ROBLOX. I am here to give information to new players like you."
So, that is basically it. If there is anything I've forgot, please tell me in the comments. ;)
I hope you guys have enjoyed this particular tutorial, my name is RobloxianFire2 and I suppose I bid you all farewell!
Thank you so much for reading!

Yes, another apology! I am sorry for the lack of posts recently but I have exams coming up and so I can't devote as much time to the site as I'd like. There will be a ROBLOX Review out today and RobloxianFire2 assures me he will be posting again soon.
Please bear with us!
