there's a board in town in my roblox game: most rebirths, top 10 players
rewards on the way up:
1 rebirth: a "reborn" title
3: phoenix sign colour
5: gold trophy sign toppers
10: a gold "legend" title
my roblox game swapped roblox's terrain for plain blocks, and the ai measured it first
draw calls: 250 down to 91
triangles: 187k down to 123k
terrain memory: 98 mb down to 0, for about 13 mb of blocks
the cost: flat-faced hills and water you can't swim in
rebirth is being rebuilt in my roblox library game
the first one costs $600,000, the tenth $2.65 million, and each one adds 20% to what readers pay
to stop accidents the confirm button does nothing for 2 seconds, then you have to hold it for 1.5
update 36 of my roblox game was held back 40 minutes
an ai reviewing the code found a crash no test had caught: one error would end the loop that brings visitors in. no readers, no returns, for every library on that server
found 8:35 pm, fixed 8:41 pm
there are 15 signs you can write on in my roblox library game, 40 letters each
they only keep emoji that roblox can actually draw. its font stops at emoji 12 and anything newer shows up as a blank square
before you write on them they say things like YE OLDE LIBRARY
my roblox game only builds real 3d books on shelves within 70 studs of your camera
it spends at most 2 milliseconds and 40 books per frame on it
shelves that drift out of range get parked, not deleted, up to 600 books, so they pop back instantly
the space capsule that delivers books in my roblox game does a hover slam
it shows up 2,600 studs away falling at 100 studs a second, lights its engines 120 studs above the pad, burns for 2.4 seconds and lands
the code note says "no hover, no bounce"
land in my roblox game is sold in 20 by 20 stud pieces
the first costs $150. the next 30 each cost about 1.18x the last, the 80 after that 1.06x
from piece 150 on they're $2.3 million each. buying a whole plot, 445 pieces, is about $716 million
my roblox library game has a 15th book collection now, cosmic chronicles
a crate of the best ones costs $66,000. the most expensive crate before it was $29,000
they don't come by truck. they land on a pad in a space capsule
what happens to a book after someone borrows it in my roblox library game:
it's gone for 70 to 130 seconds
1 in 5 come back late and pay a late fee
1 in 15 never come back, lost or worn out
15% of first-time visitors also buy a library card
there's money in the backrooms of my roblox game. 6 piles per visit, each next to a skeleton
it's capped so one trip pays about $40 at most
there are real books lying around too. a title worth 10x more turns up about 30x less often
book thieves in my roblox game follow rules:
they don't show up until you have 8 shelves or $1,500 of books
they take 3 things at most, never money
they sneak at 9 studs a second and run at 14
you run at 16. so if one gets away that's on you
lighting rules for the backrooms in my roblox game:
34% of the ceiling lights work
13% flicker
any light within 20 studs of the thing goes out
so if the room gets darker, that's your warning
rare event in my roblox library game: a lifted pickup truck shows up and parks sideways across two spaces
the first comes 5 to 10 minutes into a visit, then one every 10 to 20 minutes
it comes in 6 colours. code note: "our own design: no maker's name, grille or badge"
the backrooms maze in my roblox game gets built twice: once by the server and once by your own device
both start from the same seed (23) and use a hand-written random number generator, so everyone ends up with exactly the same rooms
it's november 1 so the halloween town in my roblox game is gone
nobody had to take it down. the code destroys it the moment it's any other month, and a test checks it leaves nothing behind
the same test checks that building october twice only builds it once
two vehicles in my roblox game are october only
the pumpkin hauler, a truck that carries 16 crates of books
and the night bat, a plane with bat wings, a pumpkin for a propeller and a broomstick for a tail
halloween pieces you can build with in my roblox library game:
coffin bookcase: $60
witch's chair: $150
bat mobile: $500
book graveyard: $900
skeleton reader: $1,200
ghost bookcase: $470,000
the last one is not a typo
one thing in the backrooms of my roblox game ignores you completely
it sits in an armchair under its own lamp and turns a page every 6.5 to 12 seconds
it's a library game. even the monsters read
in october the town in my roblox game dresses up for halloween
a giant inflatable ghost on the warehouse roof, a giant inflatable black cat on the car dealer's sign
the whole thing is capped at 1,900 parts and 24 lights across the town
