oh god this game game is a total scrap. 18 Millions followers might be impressive but would you find that 18 million rats under New York as impressive?? ^^

 

[MrBig55]

Just joking I've not had a coffee yet. ^^

WOW! 16 year old programming in Lua scripting language! Such an accomplishment!

his influences are quite obvious to say the least

Not that obvious to me. Care to enlighten me?

It's a great accomplishment and the kid certainly have a future in video games. Let's just hope he doesn't get hired by a big studio that only wants him for his fame and will crush his creativity.

EA will sue him for ripping off Sims until his young hopeful soul shrivels to a hollow stump and then they can hire him for cheap, lock him in a room coming up with at least 100 new game ideas a day or else he gets paid a visit by a man in leather tights named Lucky sporting a studded flog.

ROBLOX the second most popular kids entertainment site, with 942 million page views per month and 6.8 Million members.

Since ROBLOX is a social game, other ROBLOX players can play his games too... and to date, 18 million have

So what math did they use to get 18 million players out of 6.8 million played this kids games?

It's not quite explained, but I assume you can be a player without being a member.

BLOCKLAND!!!!

 

[bebangs]

cost - costs $11.95 per month? some people actually prefer to pay and play this game over other mmo?

this game has actually on par with warcraft? has 11+millions members?
a life time package of $300+?

im still in shock! kids are playing this game and parents will actually want to pay for this?

 

[coolgod]

why are the posters of tomshardware all haters? They voted down all the post criticizing the kid. Take any kid from USACO and compare it to this kid. Then you will know what true talent is.

 

[beachbod]

let me get this straight. They are charging kids money to make games for them?
