The 7 Questions - Flobbit- Retexturer

Hello Purple People,

Today were interviewing Flobbit, I know, really awesome name, :3 . Flobbit is new to retexturing and is very good at what he does,
and is in Retexturing Apprentices, so I decided to sit down and have an interview with him.

ninjaguy47sROBLOX : What is it like starting out retexturing, and what is the enviroment of hanging out with other retexturers like?
flobbit : Well, starting out retexturing is a bit difficult. With me, I looked at some great retexturers retextures, and wanted to make hats like those. I learned to work with what I have, and I've improved slightly. The retexturing environment is awesome. There are some really great people who retexture. Plus, everyone seems so friendly, which is a definite win for me, hehe.
ninjaguy47sROBLOX : When retexturing do you care more for design, colour, texture, or shading?
flobbit : As of right now, I care more about the colour of the hat, although I've played around with getting pictures, for example, space, and making it an overlay on the texture I was working on.
ninjaguy47sROBLOX : How did you get introduced to retexturing?
flobbit : Well, it was around the Bright Friday sale when I started. I knew about retexturing, but I had never attempted it. Well, I decided to check BrightEye's twitter, and I saw Godsend mention something about one of his retextures. I then decided I would try making one hat, and see how I liked it. I've made many retextures since then.
ninjaguy47sROBLOX : If you have anyone that you look up to in retexturing who is it, and why?
flobbit : I really look up to mickymack. I'm not sure if he's well known or not, but he's an amazing retexture artist. I look up to him because of his, well, retextures. (By the way, to see how good he is, look at his Back to the Future hover board.)
ninjaguy47sROBLOX : When you started retexturing, what were your first thoughts on it?
flobbit : Well, I thought it was the coolest thing ever, but super difficult. It is difficult, but not as insane as I once thought it was. It was probably because I was using MS Paint. I now use Photoshop.
ninjaguy47sROBLOX : What was the first hat you retextured, and why did you pack that specific hat?
flobbit : The first hat I retextured was Green Banded Top Hat. I retextured that hat because it seemed fairly simple, and looked like a fun start.
ninjaguy47sROBLOX : What do you prefer, retexturing popular hats, or not so well-known hats?
flobbit : I prefer moderately known hats. I have done some very well known hats, but also some not very well known hats. The moderately known hats seem a bit more fun in my opinion. Plus, you never know, you could have a better chance at getting your retexture published!

It was very fun interviewing Flobbit, he is such a nice guy, and an amazing retexturer, and deserves to be noticed.
If your reading this Flobbit, keep it up, man! :D

The 7 Questions - Retexturers - Masterbeyblade21

Hello Purple People,

masterbeyblade21 is an experienced retexture artists, and is a Retexturer in Retexture Artists Official Channel, also an amazing friend.

masterbeyblade21, also develops games, and works with a few programs to make his retextures a masterpiece.
So I decided I should send him 7 Questions.

This is first segment of "The Seven Questions", for retexturers.

ninjaguy47's ROBLOX :  What is it like starting out retexturing, and what is the enviroment of hanging out with other retexturers like?
masterbeyblade21 : Well its a little be hard to get noticed starting out was fun and frustrating cause you want people to see your work but you have fun making them. Getting started you learn whats right and wrong. I luckily had the help of IBarrageI and DarkGenex on my start.

ninjaguy47's ROBLOX : When retexturing do you care more for design, color, texture, or shading?
masterbeyblade21 : I care about out but if I had to pick one I would pick color and design I know thats 2 but they go together I make sure my color match's my design always. But I make sure I have a good combo of all.

ninjaguy47's ROBLOX : How did you get introduced to retexturing?
masterbeyblade21 : I got introduced to retexturing when I saw all these ads on Black Friday (last year when BSF came out) I was like how do they make these. So I looked into it and taught my self. Then down the road I meet DarkGenex, IBarrageI and others you gave me tips along the way.

ninjaguy47's ROBLOX : If you have anyone that you look up to in retexturing who is it, and why?
masterbeyblade21 : I look up to IBarrageI he makes sure everything is perfect he has had the most published and he is always willing to help people.

ninjaguy47's ROBLOX : When you started retexturing, what were your first thoughts on it?
masterbeyblade21 : I loved it. I loved the idea of it and the skill it takes. I loved all the things there are to acomplish in it.

ninjaguy47's ROBLOX : What was the first hat you retextured, and why did you pick that specific hat?
masterbeyblade21 : I picked Pinstripe Fedora. Because I loved fedoras back then and I saw Fedoras is a easy good start.

ninjaguy47's ROBLOX : What do you prefer, retexturing popular hats, or not so well-known hats?
masterbeyblade21 : I prefer not so well-known hats cause it helps get them known.

I really enjoyed interviewing masterbeyblade21, even though him and I are already buds. :)
If your reading this Master, keep up the great work man, your good at what you do!

Wheatlies and Team Rudimentality's - "The Island"

Sorry for the Inactivity, Purple People. I've been busy, so, here's to a new blog post!

So, on topic, Wheatlies and I chatted a while back, and I decided I would place an interview for you guys, if you don't know Wheatlies, Wheatlies is a developer in Team Rudimentality, making a survival game on ROBLOX, called "The Island," at the time that I interviewed him ,well, it was on his own account, now it's on Team Rudimentalities, a bunch of confusion really. Also, a little background knowledge, Team Rudimentality made a few popular titles including Strobe, and plenty others, Team Rudimentality is a group of developers, that sit down, discuss the game, than develop.


On to the Interview!

ninjaguy47's ROBLOX : "Your new game "Island" has hit over 13,000 + visits in atleast a week, how does that sense of acomplishment feel?"

Wheatlies : "Pretty great, honestly. I only got half those visits due to advertising, but it's nice that no one has to play alone now."

ninjaguy47's ROBLOX : "Whats it like being on Team Rudimentality? Is it like a big old family? Or is it like a buissness corporation?"

Wheatlies : "A bit of both, we were all friends since the age of 12 or so, but we're all very good scripters and builders"

ninjaguy47's ROBLOX : "Will you eventually come up with a final product for your game 'Island'?"

Wheatlies  : "Of course. The game is rapidly approaching a finished version, after which I will continue to update it."

ninjaguy47's ROBLOX : "What got you started into building and scripting, and than getting into Team Rudimentality?"

Wheatlies  : "I started scripting by editing free models four years ago, after which I worked on things on my old account "Fuzzyhed", then took a break for a year, came back, relearned lua, and got into Ruddev."

ninjaguy47's ROBLOX : "What do you plan on doing in the near future, with your skills in building and scripting?"

Wheatlies  : "I actually want to be a composer when I grow up and will major in music, but if my friends ever work on a game together, I'll be sure to help out and develop, I really like scripting and building, but it's not what I consider to be a career thing. "

It was nice talking with Team Rudimentality's Wheatlies, he is nice, and you should check out his game "Island" right here! You can also check out Team Rudementality at their website right here!

It's nice to finally get a new blogpost in! So, there is more articles to come soon!
