Honestly a stupid thread. No support. |

@Pancake I understand the thumbnails are staying. I even said that on the first page.
But what the hell are the icons gonna be if the game doesn't have one? Just a blank icon, or the thumbnail shortened down? If the thumbnail's shortened down, then it sort of removes some of its purpose.
It's still an odd and bad approach to the whole thing. Icons are cool, I guess, but still...
Bump. |

Jonny,
we're being forced to make a 'good' thumbnail for the games page, up to their standards.
That's the problem.

No,
no you can't.
Read the entire wiki article.
It wants us to get the lighting right, make sure we add the name, the symbol of the studio we work for(Meaning we have to work for a studio), our name, and it's complete crap.
We
don't
care
about
ROBLOX's
standards
I thought ROBLOX was supposed to be, "Be anything, build anything"? We can't build anything any more, or at least not thumbnails, unless it fits their standards.

Yeah, they are.
They say that they are unacceptable to ROBLOX, and what else is ROBLOX to do but delete the thumbnail?

it just shows images you cant use
that have copyrighted logos, have awful contrast, etc.
the example they show of a "correct" image is just a screencap from the game |

So, because of ROBLOX's pride, we aren't allowed to have a bright thumbnail? Not even rounded corners? Heck, good thing Loleris stopped using them! All his old ones'd be delted!
But seriously, we don't need forced guidance. Copyrighted logos and such is one thing, but not being able to have rounded corners? Or a bright thumbnail? Really?
Control freaks.

Everything began to change once ROBLOX mobile was created...and when they changed their motto to "You Make The Game", which doesn't seem to fit the game and seems to fit better for an applications like Unity3D or Unreal SDK. For a game like ROBLOX, nah!
(I can go out and use a C++ IDE with SDL/SFML to make a mobile game right now!)
What's next, Are they are going to remove the ROBLOXian characters from the game; so we can make characters from modelers!?

I am beginning to know how the older ROBLOX users feel about older ROBLOX...the game wasn't trying to be some freakish app-store (or Steam as what ROBLOX compared to themselves with in a blog post - but even Valve doesn't do this ####). |

ROBLOX is far more like EA than Valve.

I like this update. It' s a good system overall, and the only real issue is players are worreid that it will affect thumbnails, something of which we don't know yet.
I think that icons will not replace thumbnails. Who said they won't still exist when you go to the specfiic game's page? NO ONE! Lol. |

EA = Roblox in mtransactions |

@Pancake Well, I'll just keep this thread going until something is stated. If it goes in everyone's favor, then I'll let it die down. |

Remember that David Baszucki thinks that ROBLOX is a platform like Steam and Minecraft. (David Baszucki thinks Minecraft is a "platform"! Did he ever play the game?)

Can you make Steam into a console? Of course you can!
Can you make Minecraft into a console? NO!
Can you make ROBLOX into a console? Yes, but it won't succeed (all of ROBLOX games have a ROBLOX aesthetic which would be bad marketing wise). |

Sure, I guess a flame war of like 3 people |

What's so wrong with this update. Get out, complainer. |

"What's so wrong with this update."
?*
What's wrong is, we used to have freedom to create thumbnails as we desired. As Pancake said, we have no idea if ROBLOX will enforce us to live up to their standards, but I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they did.
