When is the game coming out? It looks amazing.

I recently began work on it. I am concepting out the game idea more and the styles. I am trying to continue progress and get some/some stuff done every week, however, I can not predict a release date right now/atm.
However, as this game also relies on a lot of Roblox’s newest features, not only is dependent on my own ability to complete the game in a certain time frame, but I am also dependent on Roblox’s ability to complete the features on the Roadmap and implement into the platform. 
Also, thanks for the compliment. I am glad you find the game appealing.

As a very big fan of Sci-Fi related games, movies, and books, I have to say that this looks absolutely fantastic. I can’t wait to see where this game goes! Keep up the good work!

Great to hear! Sci-Fi games are very popular on the Roblox platform, but I’ve noticed that the actual concept of these games are usually limited. I would really love to create a Sci-Fi themed game with a concept not before seen on the platform. (In other words, I don’t just want to make another FPS or a typical game with a Sci-Fi twist, I really want to immerse a player into the Sci-Fi world so they can feel the atmosphere and environment surrounding and around them.)
I appreciate your support!

Completely agree, not many Sci-Fi games on the platform really push the limits and deliver a breath-taking experience that can be seen in other games outside of Roblox. I love the feeling of being completely immersed in a Sci-Fi world, being able to feel the effects of gravity on your character, or lack there of. A lot goes into making a immersive Sci-Fi game, and I hope to see your game really deliver that breath-taking experience. Good luck!

Update on the game progress
Hey everyone, I usually like to post these updates with an optimistic tone, however, today I am writing this post containing bad news.
When I began this game, my goal was to push Roblox’s graphics to the max, but I did have a personal goal. I really wanted to this to look like a game you’d seen come out of a more visually stunning engine, but sadly I don’t believe I am able to meet this goal anymore.
I’ve barely begun the development of the game and I’ve already run into several engine limitations. I am unable to execute my vision with the current toolset.
Why did you start this project if you already knew Roblox was a very limited engine graphically?
Originally, I began this project a while back in June when Roblox was looking more promising than ever. I sadly relied a little bit too much on the roadmap. As many developers are aware, sadly Roblox was unable to meet the majority of the roadmap goals. Now it seems they are just barely trying to get features like PBR texturing and mesh deformation squeezed in, but at the end of the day, even if the core of features are implemented, Roblox will lack the necessary toolsets to use them efficiently.
At this pace, I find it fair to predict Roblox will take at least another year or 2 before actually meeting the goals many developers thought they would meet this year. I personally think it’d be a bad idea if I halted this project till then as, by the time a year or 2 passes, I may no longer want to work on this game.
What does this mean for the future?
Well, I guess what started out as mostly a passion project with ambitious goals is turning into more of a profit-focused project. I know it doesn’t sound ideal, but I don’t want to bother trying to make it look as good as possible if I can only execute part of my vision. It’d feel choppy to me. My goal now is simply to make it more visually appealing than the average Roblox game.
tl;dr
- My goals for this project were sadly too reliant on features Roblox doesn’t have.
- My goals for this project were a bit too ambitious.
- My goals have changed from making the best game I can possibly create to making a for-profit game.
- My goal still is to make it look more visually appealing than the average Roblox game.
Sorry for the bad news,

Hello everyone! The city has finally begun development! Woohoo!
The cars are temporary. They are not made by me, they were made by a friend.
Also if anyone is reading this, I would very much appreciate it if anyone could answer this question that I posted previously.

@Roblozinko More updates are on the way!
@vlopste Thanks so much! I completely forgot about the poll feature. This is very much appreciated.
For anyone who wants to see my original message on a pro subscription:
Pro Subscription and Private Servers:
Right now I am thinking pro subscription will be paired with private servers, so anyone who buys pro would get those features I mentioned earlier along with included private servers.

Hello there! Has it been a week already? I guess time flies by when you building a city!

It looks great, but I’m not too fond of the idea of a pro subscription basically substituting for any gamepasses there are because some people don’t have that kind of money and prefer a “buy once and never think about it again” type thing. It’s a shame to see your other project effectively go to waste because it looked really good and you put a lot of effort into it. I hope you build it in one or two years’ time and it becomes fully functional.

Thanks for the input on the pro subscription questions.

Wow…@Sentross you’re amazing at Sci-Fi! I actually specialize in Sci-Fi, so I know what Sci-Fi is supposed to look like. And you did an amazing job!! Did you use Blender for all of this?

Thank you so much! Your feedback is very much appreciated.
Sadly no. I originally intended too, but it was too time-consuming to import my model from Blender to Roblox Studio. This project was one of the reasons I wrote that post about 3D modeling earlier today, to specify, why I wrote about the problems involving import times.
I haven’t checked in on this post in a few months and wow, this looks even better than it did before. Keep up the great work, I’m really excited to see what this project turns into.

Thanks! I am working on a few plugins right now to speed up the development process.
But I got a question, is this all parts on Roblox?
