Blox Island (A massive game in Progress)

Hello this is the biggest game I have ever made so far as of Oct 1st 2019 the map is around 4,500 Studs Wide.

Here is a Satellite view of the entire map with Labels!

Big Features this game has when this post was created

Cars (Only 7 cars as of now but they dont respawn)

Lots of places to adventure

Theres only 2 free models in the game right now a plane and a Boat they will be removed once i figure out how to make them Im only using them to test out the flying and boating experience in the game.

Note This game is un playable on Mobile devices because the game has a size of 11.5 MB which is to much for mobile to handle so this game is only free to play on Xbox and PC/Mac (The game is in free testing right now so you may expect some issues)

Keep in mind that the game is not done yet its a Work in Progress right now and will be releasing to Pre-Alpha soon

If you find any bugs in game pls report them to me on this dev forum wall

Heres the game if you wanna test it out :)!
Blox Island (Open Free Testing!)

I am not trying to be that one critic but is this game supposed to be a low poly type of game? Don’t get me wrong, the terrain is pretty nice but the buildings feel very outdated and lackluster. Surprisingly, this game takes up a lot of memory. It doesn’t look like a lot of parts are used but over 100k parts are used in a compact area which causes intense lag, especially for mobile users.
Again not trying to be that one guy chewing on your work but I feel that parts of the world could be updated to match the terrain or use materials other than plastic. Other than that, it’s not that bad of a map.

Edit: After going up the mountain, I noticed that a very large of memory usage is due to terrain, and a fair amount of it is overused. Things I can suggest is using StreamingEnabled to tackle lag a bit better or the hard way, which is shaving off the overused or unneeded terrain that cannot be seen by a player or even mixing terrain with parts, which give real good effects when used right.

Is it all right to go visit this game so i can take a look and see if i can make any suggestions?

Edit:My bad

Yes you can take a look at the game he game is open to the public for testing

Yes i have checked it out… However once i reached the top of the mountain i started lagging alot, now im not a builder,scripter whatever but i think it comes down to the memory usage.

The game will be much bigger and it doesn’t really lag me or my friends but it does crash on mobile devices I may try streaming enabled and the plastic building were from a older version of this game that was mainly made up of plastic parts but I moved it to this game and I also saw somewhere on the Dev road map or at RDC that Roblox is gonna make an update were you can play games that are 10,000s of studs large at high performance not sure how that will work but im excited to find out :D!

yes it could be memory / The game Rendering the whole map out :confused:

The game looks amazing man, I hope it all goes well and everything. You’ve done a great job so far :slight_smile:

Thats exactly what i thought!

The map has lots of nice detail that alot of games failt to have, and this game has achieved that, and its so cool to see.

Yeah, this project can go through. I believe it can. It looks really nice and can hopefully make bank, heh.

The terrain and roads fit perfectly well and it looks cool, but the buildings and the trees don’t really fit to the scene, it seems a bit odd.

The game is big and does not lag for me on my computer. First thing is that you need to disable gears from players or else the inventory becomes jammed with Roblox Gears

Also, the brick crossroads is bothering me it is probably better to just have the regular white crosswalks.

Also this stop sign is missing the texture while there is an interesting font on this other stop sign (right picture).

I am also a bit confused as what type of build this is too.

my friends wanted to play with there gear the player owned gear wont be here for long tho and Ill try and see if i can do a change to the cross walks ill either use parts or design a decal for the white/black cross walks and the sign on the left is supposed to be a tsunami evacuation route sign but for some reason its not loading for you and i thought I deleted that stop sign (on the right) thats the old model i used but i made a new model so now all signs will use decals instead of just a plain model. ill try and get these changed in next update im taking a little break from update since this game had its largest update recently. Thanks for the feedback!

what do you mean? are you talking about the low quality building and the box shaped trees? because i made those years ago and yes they look kinda lazy and poorly made :confused:
