Roblox Overview
Roblox is an open-ended sandbox MMO that offers hours and hours of player-generated content in a family friendly space focused on the idea of buildable toys, similar to LEGO Worlds. It focuses primarily on a younger audience, allowing children and teens to play games in a social setting with less risk to be exposed to adult content. The player-submitted game worlds lead the game to be multi-genre; from role-playing hangouts to games with specific goals, such as platformers, survival games or life simulators. For more tech-savvy kids (or adults,) Roblox offers a development engine called Roblox Studio that enables players to create whatever type of game they wish in a more beginner-friendly game engine, using Lua 5.1-based scripting, a library of player-submitted models and a publish feature that allows players to push their game to the website and invite friends to play.
Roblox Key Features:
- Endless Content – Peruse thousands of player-submitted games on the Roblox website and whatever suits your fancy.
- Family Friendly Controls – Lots of options to keep children safe with maturity filters, heavily moderated chat and a parent log-in to view site activity.
- Social Focus – Make new friends and add them through the Roblox hub, then enter new worlds with them.
- Game Creator – Can’t find the game you want? Learn how to utilize the Roblox Studio and get an introduction to Lua scripting to make a fun game that can be shared with everyone.
