ROBLOX Moves Toward the Mobile Platform

If you've been following their blog recently, you'll have noticed that (besides some negligible changes to fire and sparkles) that ROBLOX has been moving increasingly toward a more mobile platform. As a matter of fact, they have recently gone so far as to allow people to test their games on a mobile version -- without a mobile device!

This goes to show not only that ROBLOX is motivated to innovate, but it is also trying to push its userbase toward a more "mobile" experience rather than a PC-oriented one. While this may be seen as a simple push to expand its market (and it probably is), ROBLOX might also have the possibility of becoming one of those "favor-mobile-users-more-than-PC-ones" games.

All in all, ROBLOX is moving toward a new direction. Will it be beneficial for those of us sitting at out computers? Only time will tell.

Were they right?

ROBLOX and 8-Bit Hats

ROBLOX has released many 8-Bit hats over the course of its "hat-making history", but recently it has gone a little overboard. 8-bit hats are a certain type of hat that ROBLOX has created that looks pixelated (made up of large pixels or unclear). However, that hats are actually composed of many small cubes (yes, the hats are in 3d). I was fine with the 8-bit Top Hat, Fedora, Sword, and even the Viking Helmet! 8-Bit Phoenix by ROBLOX Then, everything changed when the fire nation attacked they decided to release the 8-bit Phoenix and the 8-bit Sombrero.
