Quotes: Worthwhile or Not?

So, I am working on my game, and while I am working on the movement system (and better selection methods), I have remembered a cool thing that the game I am basing this off of did.

Essentially, every time a technology or world wonder was completed, it would have a quote next to it. I think it would be just kind of a joke to have quotes about different games, just a nice to the game. However, implementation would likely be easy, finding the quotes… not so much.

So, I want to know whether this is worth the effort to implement, and if anybody has a source that I could find quotes for different Roblox games from. Thanks! Here’s a quick poll:

  • No, this is not worth the effort
  • Yes, this is a good idea, but I have no sources
  • Yes, this is a good idea, I have sources listed in a reply

I’m confused what you’re asking. What kind of quotes?

Sorry, should have explained that better. I’m talking about quotes regarding classic Roblox games, like Sword Fight on the Heights.

Okay, I’m still confused on what you are saying. I don’t know if you mean quotes as in the end of a “world”. Could you please be more specific if you can?

But those games don’t have dialogue, so how will you get quotes?

I meant just “quotes” referencing the games themselves. Like just a quote from a relatively known user about a game.

Again, apologies for being unclear :smile:.

That’s part of the question in my post.

Sounds to me like you’re referencing Sid Meier’s Civilization, and if you’re trying to recreate something similar but with a Roblox twist, the quotes could be a nice detail.

Quotes could be obtained from the Roblox blog features on the games in the past, since they would have direct quotations from the developers as well as staff opinions on the game.

Was curious if anyone would catch the reference to Civilization, thanks for the reply! I will definitely use the in the near future.

A few example blog posts:

Otherwise you can use a web archive website to view the description of some popular games in Roblox history, probably some quotable stuff there too.
