The Best and Worst of GDC

By David Baszucki - March 10, 2012

After a big week at the 2012 Game Developer’s Conference in San Francisco, I thought I would share some of the collective wisdom of team ROBLOX. Here are our picks for thumbs-up and thumbs-down from the show.

Thumbs Up

Speedtree

Ultra-fast tree modeler for AAA games. It’s awesome to see someone in person, pulling branches out of a trunk, like magic. Gives us ideas for advanced stamper parts in ROBLOX. Such as a tree that you insert with 3 clicks: 1) Click where you want the tree to go, 2) Click how tall you want it, 3) Click how wide you want it.

When I first heard about Trading Worlds, I was a bit skeptical. From what I had heard, it was a state of the art place, including its own economy. This made me think of any old RPG place that was lucky enough to wind up on the front page. I wondered if it was even worth clicking on the visit online button, which for me means a few minutes wait while the game loads. When I began to play however, I was proved to be wrong.

Mt. ROBLOX Diaries

Travelogue to Mt. ROBLOX!

Day 1
We have arrived! Looking up at such a majestic mountain brought tears to my eyes. Since last Tuesday we have been trying to get here, but heavy traffic near Northern Robloxian Airport has caused us to arrive late. But we can finally gaze upon this glorious landmark, knowing that it will stay with us for the rest of our lives.
