RocketPropulsion

There’s a new “RocketPropulsion” object in town. It works similarly to the BodyGyro and BodyPosition objects, but this one moves a part around in a manner not unlike a rocket.  For a sample of this new feature, visit my place.

Disclaimer: This is a preliminary feature and it may change in the future.  Also, this feature is for advanced users who understand a little physics.

New Offices

Today we’ve made the switch to larger office accomodations. Once we’ve settled in, we’ll be pushing out a new release. We will also be upgrading a select few additional accounts to Builder’s Club status, as per miked’s formula, from our competition some days ago. When exactly will this happen? As soon as our new office building is complete. The contractors are working hard to finish the helipad, which will also us to celebrate future releases by taking impromptu beach trips to Half Moon Bay in Builderman’s refurbished army chopper.

Another Admin!

We have another admin! His name is stoecker. He’ll be helping me do moderation and stuff like that. Since he’s an intern, he’ll have more time to spend so he’ll be ingame more often. Later, though, he’d like to help Telamon or another person to code extra features or work on the website. Say hi to him!

Tips & Tricks: How to Get More Place Visits

As a builder, nothing is more satisfying to me than to see that a place of mine has been visited hundreds of times in the past day. Building a cool place takes a lot of time and effort, but the knowledge that hundreds of people are enjoying something I’ve made makes it worth it for me. Not to mention that getting place visits is the fastest, best, and only way to accumulate a vast fortune of Robux. Just ask Stealth Pilot, who has more than 30,000 of them.

I can’t help make you the next Stealth Pilot, but I can offer a couple of tips and tricks to people looking to maximize visits to their place. I’ve listed the most important tricks first.

The Builder’s Club Formula Contest Results!

Well, we have finally chosen a formula: Miked’s. His formula beat many other formulas because:

  1. It was a real formula.
  2. It used weighting to calculate the result.
  3. It was complicated.
  4. It wasn’t just adding up random numbers.

I just finished using Excel to compile a massive table of people’s scores. The highest score was, of course, miked’s. However, the lowest score in the list of 20 winners happens to be in the 40-50 range… but we’re not telling you the exact number. And we’re not telling you who gets BC. Yet. And we’re not announcing the feature. Yet.

The Builder’s Club Formula Contest

I’m kickin’ it back at Roblox Central, writing some C++ code, minding my own business, when all of a sudden Matt announces he’s ready to demo the new feature he’s been working on for the past week or so. Matt gives the best demos. It was awesome. Let me tell you, fellow citizens, I have seen the future of Roblox, and I never want to go back.

We don’t know when we’re going to release this yet-to-be-announced feature, but we do know that to test it, we’re going to need to expand our Builder’s Club test pool. We’re thinking we need between 10-30 additional testers. But how to choose who gets invited to help us out?
