Bloxcon Results

Bloxcon Chicago

Yesterday, several Roblox users attended the first BLOXCon in Chicago at the Museum of Science and Industry.



 Some announcements were made, like:
  • New character animations
  • Better water physics
  • Lights are no longer going to go through walls
  • New textures
And more!

Each attendant received this package, which was released later after BLOXCon Chicago was over:
 
 
 
 
Users met the Staff, had a Q&A with most of the Admins, and got their poster and merchandise autographed by the Staff. There were also some neat Trading Cards.
 
There was a livestream for those who couldn't make it to BLOXCon Chicago. In the morning, there was a long line of people before it started. The Hackathon (some may be familiar with this) was held, where users bring their laptop and script and build before the time runs out. Sometime later in the day, there was also a stage presentation, held by Roblox CEO David Baszuki and other Staff. A limited was released later in the day:
 
 
To wrap it all up, I have one thing to say:
 
Hope you all had fun at BLOXCon Chicago!
 
Get ready for July 27th!

Hat Spotlight : Happy Time Magic Flower Bowler



Hello everyone!
Today I will be looking at Happy Time Magic Flower Bowler! This hat is based off a limited item with the name of Happy Time Magic Flower Hat! Which is some what of a top hat with a flower, very cliche, but is nice looking! So, lets get started!

Look : 8.7/10

The looks of it is very fun (and funny,) its somewhat mimicking our stereotypical clown, somewhat, very weird look, but it fascinates the community, trying different things and such. I think it looks overall fun and silly, and just, so original! :D

Sales : 4.6/10

Last time I checked (4:48 Central Time on 8/6/2013) It accumulated 2212 sales, the sales are going along well, but the average hat the people like, gets way more than that I see the sales somewhat dropping for this hat, because its a somewhat unusual hat, the hat itself looks odd though, the colors don't match. But, the sales will eventually gradually get higher.

Overall : 8.9/10

It does look a bit fun, but it looks really fun! :D So, I would buy it, but I would need an outfit to go with it and everything. You did an okay job on this hat ROBLOX.

Thanks for Reading,

Gear Spotlight - Scroll of Sevenless

This is ninjaguy47 bringing you another Gear Spotlight!
Scroll of Sevenless is a "Retro" gear that is completely overpowered (most overpowered) gear of all ROBLOX at a good price, if this goes limited this will probably be sold for a lot of ROBUX. In this Gear Spotlight we will discuss the usage of it, as well as demonstrate it, than rate it!

Usage - 8.9/10 Purple Ninjas
The gear itself is really simple to use, one click than BAM! Whoa a whole line of explosions appear in a straight line before your eyes, you can point it anywhere (with your cursor) than if you click it will make a straight line of explosions in the direction, its an easy-kill weapon, and is really unique itself. Good job ROBLOX!

Creativity Rating - 7.2/10 Purple Ninjas
It lacks creativity they could have made it where you could pick the range of it, the color of explosion and everything, to make it more customizable, maybe ninjaguy47's ROBLOX scripter can work on that. :P

Whole Entire Aspect of the Weapon - 8.9/10
Its a really good idea, lacks a little bit of creativity, but just enough to pack a punch into some noobs! >:D

Sporeman15 is overall a nice guy! He has been retexturing for a long while! And has had many retextures published, like Earth Knight (Featured for Earth Day) and Last Egg (Featured in the Egg Hunt)
So, ladies and gentlemen here's the interview!

1. What retextures have you gotten published so far, and what was your strategy to get them published?

His Answer : earth knight and last egg. there is no way to get it published, its all luck. if its a good retexture it has a chance. no real strategy.

2. Which retexturer that is not well-known do you think has the most potential?

His Answer : rebellion666

3. Whats your personal favorite of all the retexturers on ROBLOX? (Not including yours.)

His Answer : Darkgenex

4. What inspired you to retexture? And, how did your first one turn out?

His Answer : i found retexturing by playing with studio. first one wasnt bad because i've been using photoshop for 4 years before then.

5. What paint program do you use? And, do you have any tips on that paint program for other users?

His Answer : Adobe Photoshop 7.0, and practice.

His Answer : IBarrageI

7. How many takes have you accumlated from your retextures?

His Answer : over 3000. idk exact

8. What was it like for you starting out retexturing?

His Answer : idk how to describe what it was like, it was a challenge i guess, but that made it all the more fun.

9. What is one of the hardest textures you've retextured?

His Answer : Helm of the roaring winds. its one thing to take a texture and change it, another to build the mesh, make the map, then ,make the texture.

10. What is one of the easiest textures you've retextured?

His Answer : ironically the last egg, which was publoshed. it was just an overlay of alot of patterns

So, it was great interviewing him! More interviews to come! Also, that was with messaging, not live. So, laters guys!

Tix Hats Off Sale?

As many of you may have noticed, Roblox has taken several Tix hats offsale from the Catalog. There is a large list of recent and classic hats that were Tix. My opinion?

I think it's ruining the catalog. Because many people might've been looking for some classic hats, and they find the hat(s) their looking for offsale.

To get more information on this, reach out and ask the Roblox Forums. They'll most likely explain this occurrence.
