While you mainly offered Minecraft when you started out on YouTube, what made you want to get started with Roblox?
In Minecraft there are quite a few things to do ranging from survival to mini games, thanks to some servers. Minigames are something that I really liked about Minecraft and that I had the opportunity to find in Roblox, as the platform is filled with thousands of different games and of all types that are fun, cool and colorful, not to mention the titles we know, like Fall Guys and Among Us, whose concepts were taken directly into Roblox. I think that's all that made me want to get into Roblox.What are for you, the strength (s) of Roblox compared to other major titles of the video game scene?
The strength of Roblox is, without a doubt, its free. Of course, microtransactions are present, but they are only there for the cosmetic side, they allow, in particular, to buy accessories and / or clothes for your avatar, even if many of them are also available for free. Once again, I repeat myself, but the diversity of the games offered is, without question, a major asset.In addition, each year, we have new types of titles which are thought by the developers, the year 2019, we allowed to discover the “stories” with different themes such as zombie apocalypses, nights at the campsite that turn wrong...
There, this year, we have the right, as I said before, to games like Among Us or Fall Guys which are added to the Roblox catalog, in addition to all the Tycoon Simulator. Each year, we go from discovery to discovery, thanks to amateur and professional developers, without the games on the platform being repetitive.
Roblox is mainly favored by young adolescents, do you think that the platform can be dangerous for these young players or do you see it more as a fun tool allowing them to discover the joys of video games?
Roblox is clearly not a danger. It is suitable for all audiences and can be easily understood, whatever your age, while not offering any violence or any derivative. I think Roblox can help the creativity of its users, whether they are very young or older, since the tools offered such as Roblox Studio make it possible to generate content for free, quickly and easily while remaining practical.In addition to that, it is possible, for these content creators, to earn money on Roblox thanks to the maps born of their imagination, some amateurs, particularly gifted, have managed to find work by highlighting their work on the platform.
Roblox is popular all over the world, but still seems little known in France, how could you explain it?
Roblox is, all the same, very well known in France, but mainly from a rather young community. For me, the game is already popular, it's just that it is gaining ground, while remaining discreet. There, it has been perhaps a year since we started to hear about it a little more on the French-speaking side, despite the fact that it has been particularly popular on the side of English-speaking countries, especially in the United States, for many years. . Roblox has taken its time, much like Minecraft, to arrive, but I think it is starting to democratize well.We have played a few games offered on Roblox and some of them turn out to be particularly original, the creativity of some developers being overflowing. Have you ever lost yourself for hours on end in certain games? If yes, which ones ?
YES, there is a game that I got totally lost on, it was a crazy thing, I played it even outside of the videos, it was Bee Swarm Simulator. It is a simulator, like there are so many others on Roblox, related to bees, as the name suggests, in which there were daily quests, like those found in World of Warcraft , where you had to farm really every day and which allowed you to improve your equipment, I thought that was great.There was also Mad City, a GTA clone, where we also found cops, criminals and superheroes which is very interesting. Arsenal, where I play with my friends outside, again, videos, which strongly resembles Counter-Strike in which similar game modes are offered such as Arms Race. These three titles are clearly the three that I love about Roblox.
What do you think are the three best games available on Roblox right now?
The top three at the moment are Arsenal, Mad City and Jailbreak. Next in popular game there is Adopt Me which I play from time to time alongside the videos. But my favorite game is still Mad City, followed by Arsenal and again, once again, Bee Swarm Simulator.How do you see the evolution of Roblox over the next few years? Do you think that the platform, created in 2004, still has a bright future ahead of it?
DOWNRIGHT ! You only have to compare the graphic evolution of Roblox between 2004 and 2018, for which I had made a video (note: to find below), in addition to the new mechanics, technologies and ideas proposed at the level of the maps. Each year, I tell myself that the following year could not be better than the current one, but I still manage to be surprised, as the readjustments of Fall Guys or Among Us in Roblox attest.Over the past three or four years, Roblox has taken a step forward in securing a bright future. I am delighted, because I really like this game, I manage to continuously have fun with my friends, and I clearly think that Roblox still has some good years ahead of it thanks to its community, which I really like, who is awesome and respectful.
Have you ever heard of Core, a platform also offering games imagined, thought out and created, thanks to tools pushed, by the community? The graphics offered by Core being more "current", do you think that the latter could overshadow Roblox and, possibly, seduce some of its players?
I haven't had a chance to test Core yet, but I should do so soon, however, I saw some pictures and videos. The game looks really cool, after the platforms are equivalent since they both offer titles created by the community, however, the games presented are totally different and offer multiple concepts.I think that Core also has a bright future, after the difference lies in the graphics which are more "current", they will, without a doubt, find their audience. It's like comparing manga to comics, both are good, but some people will give preference to one over the other. As a result, some players will appreciate Roblox without clinging to Core and vice versa.
Would you like to talk about something that we don't talk about enough?
I think that all is said at the level of Roblox. The game is awesome, cool, funny solo or with others, whatever the age, in addition to the fact that it is free and all public and can be played on mobile. Roblox is just as attractive as Minecraft and encourages creativity and imagination, while allowing you to learn certain things.I was recently able to test on a map having for theme the Second World War which allowed us to relive the landings in Normandy, but of course, in the universe of Roblox.
Roblox allows you to discover, learn, create, exchange, be creative. All of these make and will make Roblox a safe bet for years to come. I am very proud to be a part of this community, like that of Minecraft, it really is a fun day to day.
