Some devs and I have come up with a list of things we want from ROBLOX. Mostly me, but also some other people. Here it is:
So I have always wanted ROBLOX to become more and more realistic environment. Like a software a little bit more like Unity, but with it's own community as well. I think that ROBLOX should give developers a way to download their game and it's contents as an EXE File, so they can run it independently without needing RobloxPlayerBeta.exe. This would allow a more convenient startup for players like me who like to put shortcuts on their desktop. Another thing that I believe ROBLOX should do is allow their players to submit their finished creations to become a game on the famous gaming engine Steam. Valve is a great organization, and with constant improvements to ROBLOX physics, rendering, and mesh support, I believe that ROBLOX can remove the tag that people have put on it for being like Minecraft, and other bad games. Now that the Steam and upgrades to be done outside of ROBLOX are done being described, let's go into meshes. I play a game called CS:GO. It's on Steam, and it gives players a way to make maps and post them on the warehouse. I do this, but I wish I could get my maps into ROBLOX. Sadly, I can't because of 2 reasons:
1. Triangle count is way too high. This could be fixed by allowing any amount of triangles, but having a warning or a meter for the amount of processing power an asset the size of the map could take up. 5,000 triangles is a good amount for small things, but if the whole game is planned to be a mesh, 5000 won't do you much.
2. Collisions. I have been on this since the day I learned unions couldn't collide right. If the map comes in completely somehow or another, we can't do anything with it because the collisions are horrible. This prohibits me from importing my maps from the Steam Warehouse to ROBLOX to make an fps game of my own.
These things have been bugging me for a long time, and roblox, if you're reading this, I hope you act upon it. a "perfect" collision fidelity would be extremely nice, and if that's not possible, make a tool to edit collision meshes, and make the collision fidelity "custom." Thank you, have a nice day.
