Backstory:
A long time ago... in roblox I started a game called Roblox 2025. The idea was to take some of the most popular roblox maps and make them look like futuristic versions of themselves. Long backstory short, I made a good attept, but couldn't get it quite right so I stopped the project.
Present day:
I've gotten really good at fixing bugs and glitches and I've learned how to use unions wich helps me to delag games so I took another shot at Roblox 2025. I've cleaned it up, remade the guns, and tried my best to make the scenery look space-age. My only question is what makes a game look like the future? If you guys can describe props, guns, or other things you have seen that could make this look cooler I'd appriciate it. |

Perhaps you could change the telephone wires to transparent tubes in which robloxians zip around in inside. |

2025?
It would probably look like it does now, but with some old concrete buildings replaced with newer ones and maybe a few more Google Glass-type things and a few prototype driverless cars, although it depends on the city. |

hey do you think I've changed enough of it? I'm trying to keep it basic to where you can still tell what the map is, but I don't want it to look like its just a remake; I want it to look like those maps, but in the future. |

Spoiler
I'm working on a new idea: a futuristic ballistics shield, right now I just have a problem with the shield part as in the bullets aren't affected by the shield.
So be advised that as I tinker with this I may be shutting down the game during off hours, but it won't be longer than a few minutes. So if you go to the game's page and it is inactive just wait awhile and it should be back online.
right now, though, it's good |

disregard my last post, my sola play got fixed during the last update no need for shutdowns
and why not start a running update log:
Version 1: I'm counting everything I did before this year as version 1 even though there were multiple updates. Most of them were changing the color scheme and adding props to make it look better.
Version 2.0: improved Catalog Heaven details (I.E. added columns and glass)
Version 2.1: delagged Crossroads (unions, new scenery)
Version 2.3: added better tools (spas 12, P90, stuff like that)
LATEST
Version 2.4: Added plasma shield which may look simple, but it required me to retool the guns to make the projectiles bounce off the shield. (took me 3 afternoons to find the right value in the scripting) |

i have a huge perspective on futuristic stuff, but a few ways i like to make my games pop is to add colorful glowing lights to stuff. |
|
|
Version 2.5:
-I've continued to delag the existing structures, but theres much more I can do
-Added "TV screen from the future" |
|
|
and @ Trevisepic2 I am working on the lighting alongside my debugging process. I'm having a difficult time finding lighting effects that pop because of the time of day and I really wanna stick with the time of day because of the skybox I'm using so: the updates continue. Everyone else, this is going to be a work in progress until I finnaly decide theres nothing more I can do to this map so this is going to be a long update log. |

How to futureize a game:
-Make the primary colors either black and green or white and dark blue
-Make red/dark blue colors always have a light attached to them
-Make the lights fade in and out randomly
-Have a random matrix sound in the ambiance
-Make it always be night time
-Purple plants
-green people

It's ok guys I can't edit the game because of the bug to studio mode, sorry. Thanks for the ideas, and I'm sorry I can't implement them. I'm leaving now, can't deal with anymore roblox updates, hope this game gets fixed someday. |

Use Selection boxes with bright colors |
|
|
Or, take some models, search welcome to venezia or something like that, find some skyscrapers! If you dont want people to reconize, change colors, change looks of the skyscraper |

Quick tip:
Fantasy.
And Sci-Fi.
Go crazy on your buildings and even make up things.
Make it full of technology if you want that kind of place.
But just go nuts on fantasy and Sci Fi theme~ |
