Site 74 | Undergraduate Research Project

Hi there!
I’m working on an undergraduate research project that involves creating a multiplayer SCP roleplay game. I need your feedback to help complete my research!

The project is comprised of two parts:

  1. A low fidelity prototype roleplay environment
  2. A high fidelity prototype roleplay environment

So far, I’ve pretty much completed the first part, the low-fidelity prototype environment. Please note that the current state of the game is in no way an accurate depiction of the final product. Many elements have yet to be implemented, and the environment is intentionally low detail.

The project has been a long-term ambition of mine to complete (7 years now), and this undergraduate research project has given me the opportunity to do so without worrying about being negligent towards my university studies. I wish to create a truly remarkable and unique roleplay-first SCP game and will be working on it beyond university to make it the best it can be!

If this sounds like something you would be interested in following the development of, I would love it if you could join the community Discord server! I’m going to need lots of volunteers to help out with the study in the next few months!

Out of curiosity: What is your major? Using ROBLOX to do your undergrad project is certainly unique and I was wondering how this interacts with an academic field. You’re majoring in Game Design/Development, right?

Yup, I study games dev, “games programming” as they call it.
Using Roblox is unconventional, but my dissertation’s title is “Exploring the relationship between environment fidelity and immersion in multiplayer roleplay games”.

You don’t really see many other roleplay games outside of the Roblox platform, so it just made sense to use the engine for my dissertation!
