Heya Everyone!!
I’m working on a 2014 ROBLOX inspired map for a Midnight Horrors/Horror Hotel inspired game. I’m looking for feedback on how to make it more 2014-2015 styled.

i was expecting “retro slop”, but this is actually nice

Glad you like it! If so, do you got any suggestions on improving it when I’ll be working on it later?

only thing I have to say is that you are using the new materials

I’m actually using this for the materials not the actual materials

Actually this isn’t true. Roblox materials received an overhaul in late-2013. You might think it’s new because visually, materials haven’t really changed that much. They should really add legacy materials back given the fact they did it for the new materials.
@ChronicallyOnlin_e Also to add onto this, you don’t need to use a texture pack for the old materials. You can still enable them In MaterialService. You might still need to use some of those textures though for certain materials, such as Marble as that has been changed a couple of times throughout the years.

Alrighty then. Also, which one changes the most?

Here’s a texture pack that you can use to change certain materials using MaterialService. You can swap whichever you like for accuracy. As far as I’m aware the Brick Texture hasn’t changed since late-2013.
Also make sure this is ticked off.

Yeah i mixed them up from the small image that was my bad
Also, a decent amount of the textures got overhauled from 2013-2017

Find a classic skybox. You don’t realize how big of a difference a skybox makes until you use one.

Specifically Marble has gotten the most revisions as far as I’m aware, I don’t know if the others have received any. I just very clearly remember being upset when they changed the marble material, haha

The skybox in use is the 2011-2014(?) default skybox
That is the 2013 skybox, they removed it in 2014 and replaced it with the modern one! Which is strange considering the original textures for the skybox were uploaded back in 2011 and never were used until 2013.

I’m pretty curious to see the game in game but no worries! i’m glad a lot of lost media is being found, but recreating such vibes can be so hard due to how often Roblox updates throughout the years and I find it frustrating.
Anyways you can add the new ColorGradingEffect instance and set it to Retro! (TonemapperPreset) there’s more grey but it can help you a lot in achieving the charm of the map.
