@tepid lichen is it allowed to add music to my video and speed video up?

This is the kinda thing I was looking for !! W

(Other submissions are cool too )

Hope to see more advanced stuff like this

like animated scenes

coarse mica

oh yeah thats pretty cool

@last marsh if you need me to I can record your animation so it’s smoother

#

Cool idea though, never would have thought to do something like that

#

A potential idea for the build is to maybe make the duck bob up and down as well. You could also add seeds to the watermelon and possibly different-coloured bricks.

Amazing idea, the logic side of things is very creative and out-of-the-box thinking!

spiral inlet
#

Oh yeah and depending on what you build

#

It gets...

painfully...

tedious...

#

Especially because you can't copy logic builds...

#

Really wish that was a feature or they just outright removed boxed logic items and instead just made an inventory system so you could just copy builds using logic in your inventory

#

[just for logic components]

lethal minnow
#

That would be nice, I bet my logic person would love that idea lol

#

I thought you could copy logic though if everything is boxed up

spiral inlet
#

Oh crud I forgot to report the bug I experienced

#

so like

#

make sure if you made a build using neon lights

#

to move them separately

lethal minnow
#

YES

spiral inlet
#

because they DONT move with region move

#

drives me up a wall

#

had to move a huge part of my build twice and I had to manually move the lights both times

lethal minnow
#

Very annoying, have a big main build which uses a lot of neon lights, not fun when moving big chunks of the build

spiral inlet
#

like..

#

why neon lights specifically

lethal minnow
#

I was so confused when I moved my build and my lights didn't, I for sure highlighted them with the rest of the build but they just got put in the wall

spiral inlet
#

not only that, you can't even build off of neon lights for some stupid reason

#

like neon lights just...

don't exist(?)

lethal minnow
#

Beats me how that all works. I just build nice-looking things

spiral inlet
#

gosh it's gonna suck moving my logic build around my base due to the amount of neon lights I used

#

I built it in a relatively weird spot close to the edge so I need to move it since it doesn't have enough room for me to finish working on it after the comp ends

lethal minnow
#

lol best of luck to you

spiral inlet
#

at least all the neon lights are huge..

#

so I don't have to sneak into the tiniest part of the build just to click a light

lethal minnow
#

Lucky, I got a few for this comp, they are tucked into some tricky areas, not going to be fun if I have to move this thing

spiral inlet
#

For the competition itself it doesn't really matter since the thing I'd need to add to the front is purely functional and has no real impact on the build

#

The lights though... Yeah, I need those

lethal minnow
#

Wait, people are already submitting! Crud, I've got to speed things up

spiral inlet
#

Oof

#

I'm waiting a tiny bit longer so I can finish 2 final logic parts of my build along with cleaning up my plot of useless clutter

#

The primary parts of my logic build are finished though

lethal minnow
#

Got to make a roof, do interior, do nature stuff + the logic D;
My original idea didn't work so we have been jumping between idea's for the movement portion

spiral inlet
#

yikes

#

I already have all the logic + aesthetic parts of the two main parts of my build, but the logic for the remaining 2 secondary parts of my build are just annoyingly tedious

lethal minnow
#

I am so done for D; Curse having no more free time!

spiral inlet
#

If you're really good with logic I think you'll be able to put something neat together in 10 - 40 hours

lethal minnow

#

Very slight sneak peek of my build :P

but idk how to tell you how this work xd :{

#

i think after 3 days i will finesh this and then i will send it i hope

upper rapids

i think

tepid lichen
#

bro

#

why they make it

#

😭

north condor
#

they barely speak english they prob didnt understand 💀

tepid lichen
#

omg bruh

upper rapids
#

this i think

#

although i do think it was my fault lol

north condor
upper rapids
#

i think its too late now to tell him not to do it anymore though

north condor
#

Vro's cooked

upper rapids
#

lol

#

i havent used a single bit of logic yet

tepid lichen
#

yea i said no

#

dawg 😭

charred cosmos
#

Guys, what's the problem with me making it?
It does have movement, and the logic (electricity) is complex.
There’s nothing I did that breaks the rules.
So that means I can participate with it, right?
It would seriously be unfair if after all this, I still can’t :<<

charred cosmos
tepid lichen
#

.

coarse mica
tepid lichen
#

i told you it wouldn't work 2 weeks ago 😭

charred cosmos
#

But it does have movement — it's not just doors and that’s it.
No, it's actually complex, I swear.

tepid lichen
#

yea ik its complex but thats not the point

#

theres supposed to be movement

upper rapids
#

maybe a good way to explain it is there has to be automatic movement / not moved directly by hand

like moving a piece is something i do myself and it isnt an automatic thing that needs to happen

#

not sure though

charred cosmos
#

plss bro

#

just see when i finesh

upper rapids
coarse mica
#

@tepid lichen lets atleast see what it looks like in the end shrugge

upper rapids

he could just get contest participant role

charred cosmos
# tepid lichen idk why you still made it

It’s okay, no problem — it’s my fault. I wanted to do it for a long time anyway, and it just happened to be at the same time as the competition. It’s all good, thanks. But can I still do something with the remaining time?

tepid lichen
#

yea

coarse mica
upper rapids
# tepid lichen yea

How does the participants role work? If I said someone worked with me do they also get it

upper rapids

i just dont have the motivation to start lmao, that's the hardest step

#

#

You got this!

spiral inlet

The competition is the main motivation for me cleaning up my base lol

I just wanted to say that everyone should believe in themselves and not give up. also goodluck to everyone

idle vortex

#

some people put alot of work into stuff

People need to touch some grass

lethal minnow
#

D;

#

Only spent 35hrs so far...
Got at least another 20 until the build is done lol

upper rapids
lethal minnow
#

lol

#

Logic still isn't done for me, and I have to do interior and exterior stuff, so still a good bit to do before I am ready to submit
Just finishing my roof now :D

upper rapids
#

All I have to do is make the whole movement part of my build

#

Which means I basically haven’t even started

lethal minnow
#

lol

#

Seems like I am not the only one in the same boat

#

@tepid lichen is stop-motion allowed

#

Nvm overtime gave me big idea

#

But I'd still like to know

tepid lichen
fickle gorge
tepid lichen
#

like still needs to be a video

fickle gorge
#

Ok

coarse mica
#

shouldnt be that hard (i think)

fickle gorge
#

Wait I replied to the wrong msg😭

fickle gorge
coarse mica
fickle gorge
#

Aw

coarse mica
#

so i dont think you can just make a stop motion in the video

fickle gorge
#

😭

coarse mica
#

i might be wrong though @tepid lichen

tepid lichen
#

has to be ingame

fickle gorge
#

Oh well

tepid lichen
#

Like some people were talking about using teleporters(spawnpads) to make stop motion

#

That would be acceptable

fickle gorge
#

Doors my beloved

#

The power of doors

coarse mica
#

Jak out here showing the true potential of doors

spiral inlet
# tepid lichen has to be ingame

Mostly out of pure curiosity from this, do you have to be able to walk onto someone's build and watch it to confirm a submission?

north condor
tepid lichen
#

I will be checking when I give prizes to winners tho so if the build just doesn't exist I can't give the prize lol

spiral inlet
#

Oh I just meant like did you specifically have to join a server with that person to make sure

tepid lichen
#

nah

#

I'm just gonna trust you guys for submissions but if it's not you won't receive prize if you win

spiral inlet
tepid lichen
#

xd

granite moth
#

i was planning on deleting my build after the comp

coarse mica
granite moth
#

i placed it in a really bad part of my base

coarse mica
#

you can just move it, no? just make sure to select everything

#

deleting it seems like a waste of money

granite moth
#

wouldnt the wires just

#

poof

coarse mica
#

neon wires might not move from what i have heard

granite moth
#

for real??

coarse mica
#

yeah, you didnt know?

#

if you move both components the wire is connected to it wont break

granite moth
#

well thats neat

granite moth
#

to the second floor it goes

spiral inlet
#

so you'll have to manually select any neon lights and move them seperately

granite moth
#

i never liked neon wires so ill be fine

spiral inlet
#

what am I looking at

north condor
coarse mica
unreal umbra
#

@tepid lichen can it be 60 sec or does it max 30

#

wait

#

can we do a normal version in the submissions and the 30 sec max one for main post?

tepid lichen
#

yes

@tepid lichen I have a question, sorry — if I add a screen or something similar, could the build be accepted?

#

I mean, like an animated screen in the Quoridor game or something similar — would that make the build acceptable?

tepid lichen
#

There needs to be actual movement or illusion or movement

#

Depends idrk what you mean

charred cosmos
# tepid lichen There needs to be actual movement or illusion or movement

Okay, I mean something like: when it's the blue player's turn, the screen shows that, and when it's the red player's turn, it displays that too — something like that. Also, I could add a section in the game where the first player to reach it gets a point or an extra wall. Would that be acceptable?

#

And maybe I’ll add some options on the screen too — I’m still thinking about it, to be honest. I might add more to the idea later, but for now, what do you think?

#

Sorry to bother you

unreal umbra
#

or do i need to change anything

tepid lichen
#

Yours is good

tepid lichen
charred cosmos

#

I mean to make a screen that has the settings, like you can change the number of walls for the player, and also you can set the number of steps the player can move. On the same screen, it shows who won and whose turn it is. All of this in one screen or two—like one for each player or a shared single screen. Also, there is an option to choose who starts first. All of this is on a screen where everything changes depending on what happens. For example, if someone wants to change the number of walls, they select the “change walls” option and adjust the number, and the same for the rest. So, all the settings are in one screen, and the screen is touch-enabled, meaning you can tap the options directly from the screen.

#

And when you choose the option you want, it changes visually in the game. For example, if you want to set the number of walls to 7 instead of 10, you’ll see the walls decrease from 10 down to 7—either gradually or all at once.

#

@tepid lichen Sorry for bothering you all the time, but I keep thinking while I’m working on the game right now.

upper rapids

and i took it straight from the toolbox

@tepid lichen what would you think if i was able to make a replica of Crossy road with billboards and doors for some of the 3d elements

@tepid lichen Just to confirm, are you allowed to put music in your video or are you only allowed to use in game audio?

watching them hold on

unreal umbra

im keeping both in my post just wondering what looks smother and nicer for main post

#

the 1st is faster and dont let you look at the movement a lot

cunning hollow
unreal umbra
#

omg

#

its 1 send long

#

is that ok

#

AAAAAAAAA

#

is asking people to look at post allowed

spiral inlet
#

I've been using a freaking stopwatch app on my phone to make sure mine stays within the limit ;-;

unreal umbra
#

people dont look at linked images in the stuff

unreal umbra
#

its just asking people to look at the full submission

tepid lichen
#

no

unreal umbra
#

k

tepid lichen
#

im going to have them all linked

unreal umbra
#

does this work

#

or is this ok to use

#

jak is there a way to move oak space posts into another area

#

for archive for events

#

or can there be like a pin message in competitions with all linked challanges or stuff

tepid lichen

they are always here tho

so you actually spawn a different putter in?

mortal spade
#

really cool and creative use of pedestals

upper rapids
#

Can I have my voice in the submission

tepid lichen
#

why

spiral inlet
#

Was deleting an old build since the build I'm making for the competition will replace it and accidentally managed to get the King Eg to actually stand upright lol

#

@unreal umbra PUT AN AUDIO WARNING ON YOUR FIRST VIDEO😭 My old wired headphones were on max and broke and hurt my ears hella

I wasn't expecting anyone here to recognize my build just from that insignia, very impressive!

#

that train is really cool

upper rapids
#

yea

#

although i probably could recreate most of the submissions before the time ends

mortal spade
upper rapids
#

yea

#

but i always get worried that some evil person gonna do the same thing as me because they have all the time in the world

granite moth
#

yo...

#

simulating the coupling rods that way is neat...

#

hella nice

upper rapids
#

i wonder if its possible to make the tracks look like they are moving with some wooden planks on a conveyor belt

mortal spade
upper rapids
#

yea

#

ngl i think my idea doesnt have enough movement in it

#

and i had to make a queue system for something and costed me 200k so far just for the queue part of the queue

#

and i never tested the thing with as much as i need to do

#

so if it doesnt work

#

ill quit

tepid lichen
tired furnace
#

@tepid lichen sorry for the ping, can cut the video to make it shorter, should I repost the submission when i m do that?

tired furnace
#

Also the clouds moving was originally part of the idea, I just had issues with the logic side of that so I had to drop that idea.

upper rapids
#

howd you get the train noise?

tired furnace
#

They are very loud for some reason, but for once that came in handy

upper rapids
#

ohhh

tepid lichen
#

@fresh summit you can resubmit if you add more, just having 2 doors open is definently not enough though

unreal umbra
#

@tired furnace the wheels are sliding doors right the tracks are billboards ad the cacti are crate on a conveyor loop going up and down right?

unreal umbra
#

so i got all of it right??

fresh summit
#

That's amazing 👏

tired furnace
#

yeah

unreal umbra
#

epic

#

glad i under stood it lol

#

for the tracks how manny images is it

#

and what motion

#

is it in a line or is it like 3 images changing

#

aka 5 images but delayed going down a line

#

or more if needed

tired furnace
unreal umbra
#

cool how its set up tho

proud meteor
unreal umbra
#

i wonder what the logic looks like

north condor
proud meteor
tired furnace
unreal umbra
#

i love looking at builds and seeing the cool ways people use parts and stuff to get new ideas

#

this comp is sorta like the Minecraft revaluation in Redstone with people making led screens water falls with effects, fans and alot more

tired furnace
unreal umbra
#

id like to see a build thats a forge

#

a truck brings rocks in

#

then goes in a pot to melt down

#

turns into magmight

#

and gets poured into a mold and hardens into like iron or stuff

tired furnace
#

i just don't know how they'd make the cruicible turn

unreal umbra
#

its got less steps

upper rapids
#

isnt someone doing something like that?

unreal umbra
#

but when dumped it heats up

tired furnace
unreal umbra
tired furnace
#

ah

unreal umbra
#

its why i want to see it

#

its not a hard thing to do

#

look up a video like iron works

upper rapids
unreal umbra
upper rapids
#

obviously not the same

unreal umbra
#

idk what they are making

upper rapids
#

but i think its a forge thing

unreal umbra
#

@spiral inlet what are you making

tired furnace
unreal umbra
#

bro

#

i want to make it so bad

#

but i cant do 2 builds for the comp

#

😭

#

i can fr make it in one day

tired furnace
#

Just make it as a side project

upper rapids
#

get someone else to do it

#

on their plot

unreal umbra
#

just means it wont be in the comp

tired furnace
#

you can also just save the idea for another competetion, even when the theme is no longer motion, moving parts in a build will always grant you cookie points

#

my neurons are barely connected istg

tired furnace
#

I don't see why it wouldn't be allowed, unless the theme is just not right for it

#

That all depends on what the next theme will be

unreal umbra
#

1 picture

#

not video as a option

#

it might be unfair if the comp isnt based on motion or video

#

meaning that it would be images

#

idk

#

this is a jak question

#

if its video allowed or gif

upper rapids
#

get a friend to let you build on their plot

#

and make them submit it

unreal umbra
#

i wont do thats

#

but if anyone wants to take my idea

#

PLEASE

#

try and make it

#

if you need idea or help lmk

#

💀

upper rapids
#

im spending too long i think

#

although some of that time was used on things im not doing anymore

charred cosmos
unreal umbra
#

i feel like my build needed to take longer

#

but it was only 16 hours

spiral inlet
unreal umbra
upper rapids
#

why are the images on my billboard bigger than the images i made for the billboard?

granite moth
#

wdym?

#

is it like stretched?

upper rapids
#

yea

granite moth
#

there's a limit of 1024x1024 for roblox images, higher res is downsized

north condor
#

they dont on posters

upper rapids
#

i made 90 images

north condor
#

why 90 lol

upper rapids
#

yes

#

still doesnt make sense though

granite moth
#

so unless the bullboard is 1:1 size (square), you need to make the images as the same ratio as the billboard

north condor
granite moth
#

so a 1:2 is a billboard size of 6x12 and an image size of 512x1024

upper rapids
#

im confused

#

the way i was doing it worked before

#

its not even stretched

granite moth
#

how is it stretched

upper rapids
#

part of the image isnt even there

north condor
granite moth
#

oh its not stretched?

upper rapids
#

no

#

its just not there

upper rapids
north condor
granite moth
#

did you uh

#

use image asset id or decal asset id

upper rapids
#

image

#

probably the reason

granite moth
#

nah i used image

upper rapids
#

but that doesnt make sense anyway

granite moth
#

and it shouldn't matter (mostly)

upper rapids
#

ill rejoin

#

maybe my image is too big

#

idk

granite moth
#

if logic is the problem, dm kreeee, he seems willing to help

upper rapids
#

logic isnt the problem

#

image just aint imaging

granite moth
upper rapids
#

i need more than the max of 200 i think

#

so if this doesnt work ill have to redo these images

coarse mica
upper rapids
coarse mica
#

Some images fail to load in sometimes, is it the whole image?

upper rapids
#

why would i be

#

nope

#

its zoomed in or something

What is the image resolution?

#

oh yeah right i was going to ask

#

whats the image resolution and billboard size

coarse mica
granite moth
upper rapids
#

billboard size doesnt change anything cause i tried it on a square billboard and nothing changes

granite moth
#

195 billboards

upper rapids
#

but the images are 40 x 600

#

and the billboards i was going to use are 1 x 15

#

so 1 stud = 40 pixels

granite moth
#

ok that shouldn't be a problem

upper rapids
#

im guessing the problem is it being images

#

and not decals

#

thats the only explanation other than it being a bug

#

or i magically made a zooming in machine

#

lemme make another image of the same size and test it

#

this image turns to

#

could just be me

#

87188913369208

#

anyone able to try it?

#

could it be my pc?

#

now im delayed by an unexpected problem

#

phone doesnt fix it either

#

im guessing billboards arent designed for images then

#

101611482707664

#

exact same thing but as a decal

#

yep

#

decals work and images get zoomed in

#

welp

#

now i have to make 200 decals manually

#

unless i can put decals into studio aswell

coarse mica
#

Then use my plugin "ImageOrganizer" to arrange all of them :]

upper rapids
#

i think

#

and images are the problem

#

billboards are only meant for decals

tired furnace
#

I don't quite understand the difference

upper rapids
#

same

tired furnace
#

In any case, i just mass imported the sprites for my build in studio, they are 1:1 aspect ratio so there's no weird scaling going on with them

upper rapids
#

thats what i did

#

but only decal versions of the things are working as expected

#

@tepid lichen is there anything that can be done about this?

tired furnace
upper rapids
fickle gorge
granite moth
#

pretty sure images are the one that gets loaded regardless

#

anyhow it shouldn't matter (mostly)

#

for mine, I used images asset id

#

and it works for me

tired furnace
#

Image? decal? I put my funny images in the studio mass importer and it just worked

upper rapids
#

thats what i did

#

and everything was fine until i put the id into the number interface

tired furnace
upper rapids
#

is there a max amount of images i can upload?

upper rapids
#

i press the copy asset id

#

well even the number interface is fine

#

its the billboard that doesnt set it to fit or something

#

both of these are the exact same thing

#

left is decal and right is image

#

Time to re-upload all of the images as decals

proud meteor
upper rapids
#

Decals stay the same as they are uploaded and images stretch

proud meteor
#

Pretty cool

granite moth
#

well that is weird

#

doesn't give me any problems when I use images

coarse mica
granite moth
#

no they are somewhat different

#

in roblox dev terms

coarse mica
#

Most likely it's the way they made images in oaklands

granite moth
#

yeah the differences shouldn't matter mostly

#

but it seems to be different for his case

coarse mica
#

Honestly this is the first time where i see this happen

granite moth
#

and I used images asset id than decal asset id for billboards and it works fine

#

its only for his case thats different

coarse mica
#

Idk this is all just very odd

tepid lichen
#

i think images just alllow for higher resoultion

#

idk

granite moth
lethal minnow
#

It's looking so cool! I am so going to run out of time though

proud meteor
upper rapids
#

it could just be me though

#

i remember a few days ago a decal was blurry

#

but it was a normal decal

#

i re inputted it into the thing and it became fine

tired furnace
#

Do you have your graphics settings lowered?

upper rapids
#

yea

#

turned them up to test it though

#

same thing happened

#

ill move on to something else in my build and then come back to what i was doing tomorrow or if theres a fix

tired furnace
#

Like, do you have the decals displayed somewhere so they stay in memory and don't have to be fetched on the fly?

upper rapids
#

does that mean i need a billboard for each of them that are on at all times?

upper rapids
tired furnace
#

I asked cause

#

If you preload the image on low graphics and roblox loads a low res version then even whwn you set your graphics up it might still use the low res image

#

Not 100% sure on this but that was my best idea on what could be going on

upper rapids
#

i dont think its a graphics issue though

#

that would make it blurry

#

not make it do things like this

#

rotated it by 45

tired furnace
#

Is the circle meant to be perfectly circular?

upper rapids
#

makes it look even weirder

upper rapids
#

i actually uploaded the circle as a decal

#

the decal looks fine

tired furnace
#

Can you post the original image

upper rapids
#

but the image version does not

#

ok

#

afk 20 mins

tired furnace
#

Yeah i dont see why it doesnt work correctly

mortal spade
#

maybe background transparency messes with something?

#

no idea

upper rapids
#

maybe

#

ill test a circle with no background transparency

#

yea

#

i think its just pngs then

mortal spade
#

thats actually so goofy that transparency matters

upper rapids
#

yea

#

although thats not really the real problem i dont think

spiral inlet
#

Just roblox having potato quality systems as usual ;-;

upper rapids
#

i thought i put a background on the png i was using

mortal spade
#

might be worth asking hoofer about it

#

ive never seen an issue like this before

upper rapids
#

before i do that let me switch 1 of the images to something other than a png

#

and put it in

#

and if it works ill still ask hoofer about it

upper rapids
#

jpg is fine yea

upper rapids
#

wait what

#

nvm jpg isnt fine either

mortal spade
#

goofy

upper rapids
#

yea

tired furnace
#

The roblox jank gods wanna prevent you from finishing your submission

upper rapids
#

lol

#

even decals are zoomed in slightly

#

but not as badly

#

which is weird

upper rapids
#

nvm i think decals are fine

#

ill just make a bunch of decals

charred cosmos
#

@outer sage why?

outer sage
#

There is still time to improve it, at least add multiple layers of doors. Make the surroundings better. Give the build some sort of story.

#

Add sounds for the door. Make it command operate able

#

cause they already spent the whole month working on a game which they couldnt put into the contest

It depends how you explained to jak

#

#

Did you like tell jak before making it?

charred cosmos
#

My english is realy baad

outer sage
#

Like spending whole month before even asking if such a game would be considered?

upper rapids
#

this was already discussed for a while previously though

outer sage

charred cosmos

did it anyways and got another red light

outer sage
upper rapids
#

yea

#

the new problem is the vault door thing

#

although jak never said it wasnt allowed

charred cosmos
#

1 min i will trnslet something to you

outer sage
#

Hence conclusion is that game itself is good but not qualified for the competition. As for the door. They should add what i suggested. Multiple layers of door, smoke and animated lights around, sound effects, a whole room giving the vibe and story to the game.

upper rapids
#

vault doors are allowed but they need a cool animation

#

so jak has to be the judge of that

upper rapids
#

the contest does have weird rules though

#

cant i just make a cool vault door that enters into a really cool looking build?

#

the people will probably vote for it

charred cosmos
# outer sage But you decided to make it still?

When I first joined, I participated with another game — XO, you probably know it. But I had made it around 3 months before the contest and submitted it, and it got rejected because they also wanted more movement. And honestly, I still don’t understand what kind of "movement" they actually want.

So I told him, fine, I’ll make a Quoridor game. He asked, “How?” I said the player will be an elevator, because that’s the only solution — otherwise the player would just be a screen, and that wouldn’t look good. And the barriers would be doors. Then he told me the idea wouldn’t be accepted because it doesn’t have enough movement.

I mean, there are 81 squares the player can move in and around 130 barriers — and that’s still not enough movement? I spent 3 weeks working on this game, and even after all that, it still got rejected.

Besides, I felt like he didn’t even understand me — like I couldn’t explain to him how the game actually works. I spent around 1.7 million (in-game currency I assume), and during all that time and effort, I was lagging or disconnecting from the servers because my home is 108uMB (Data Save).

Anyway, thanks to you all, guys.

#

ty for you time @outer sage @upper rapids

#

@tepid lichen I just want to know what type of movement you want, Jack, and anyway, I don't have time to do anything.

# charred cosmos Bro idk why tell me this what do you want?

I don't want anything, just find it weird that you wrote that heartfelt piece of text after being told several times by both jak and other members that your game just doesn't qualify, you continued working on it instead of focusing on building a different theme, and now you write this sad sad wall of text

#

mind you this is in response to more people telling you that your build just isn't on theme

#

With those 3 weeks you spent working on the game you could have worked on a different equally advanced game that was good with Jak

Atlas i would say, your auto door is not bad, just put in improvements. Take help from fellow friends, make more doors and use more logics on lights, sounds, smoke, sparks and pedestal etc

charred cosmos
# outer sage They, i understand you, don't feel disheartened. You did great, your game is goo...

I thank you for your kind words, and honestly, I'm not upset at all because I was going to make this game anyway a while ago, but it just happened that its time came along with the competition. So I decided at the time to participate with it. That’s why I designed the electricity to look like a motherboard or an electronic device. God willing, what’s coming will be better and better. I just hope Jack can be more clear in the future about exactly what kind of thing he wants, because I translate most of what’s said since my English isn’t that good.
By the way, I’m from Egypt. Thank you so much for your sweet words, and thanks again to you. 🤍

# tepid lichen look at the submissions i have accepted so far

The important thing is that there’s no time anyway, so I won’t be able to do anything, and even if I did, it wouldn’t be very good. But thank you, and sorry for bothering you all the time. I will participate in the next competitions — I have hope for that.

#

@tepid lichen I have a suggestion completely outside the competition, and it’s just an opinion. If you manage to make this game, it would be a whole new level (OAKLANDS). I suggest you combine the entire game into one and move it to be a standalone game like the ones on Steam, Epic, or Microsoft — meaning it would be a separate game.

What’s the benefit of that? It would help reduce lag because you’d be the ones managing the servers, not limited by or dependent on Roblox’s space. You’d have full control over everything, and you could add and develop the game however you want. Nothing would stop you — no Roblox filters or restrictions.

I repeat, this is just my opinion. If you decide to do it, it will improve the game a lot. By the way, I’ve been playing the game for 2.5 to 3 years, so I’m an old player. Sometimes my client crashes the servers because it’s very big — 110uMB. Thanks!

That makes one person D; still got another floor to decorate then its logic stuff

Thankfully the logic side of things is supposed to be "easy" we will see though

my build is basically all logic

I went the complete opposite lol fingers crossed Its enough movement

okay yeah im just too busy and have no motivation, so imma leave yall to it. good luck!!!

mortal spade

here's an idea i was gonna try:

  • some mineshaft thingy that moves marbles up from the bottom using various means
  • make what looks like a moving minecart using sliding doors that moves across some linear track
  • move mannequins around using conveyors specifically timed so they move to specific locations

kinda like a mine sorta idea

#

might do it sometime after the comp but i def am not gonna get anything done before the date, too busy

How do yall make spinning parts

most of the time i think it's sliding doors

charred cosmos
charred cosmos
#

85 % 100 done

spiral inlet
#

Aside from the train, every single submission with spinning fans uses flat doors

#

There are a lot of main differences between using flat doors and sliding doors for spinning components

Flat Doors

Pros:

  • Extremely Cheap (Only need to buy 2 or 3 logic components)
  • Can be made fully transparent (you can see through them)
  • Easy to set up
    Cons:
  • Cannot really control the speed without ruining the illusion
  • The doors flipfloping back and forth can still be seen relatively easily

Sliding Doors

Pros:

  • Speed control is easy to implement
  • The animation is constant and never flip flops
    Cons:
  • Cannot be transparent due to the sliding doors
  • Extremely expensive (Requires buying all the sliding doors, at least 15 logic components on an incredibly small fan that has 4 frames)
  • Set up can be extremely tedious due to having to manually connect all the interactors needed as well as their interaction zone and being unable to replicate the doors for the fan
tired furnace

I myself used sliding doors just cause flat doors would have clipped trough the bottom

This is my build's simplified breakdown

wait lemme count the amount of interactors

It'd definitely work for a REALLY small scale build, although hiding the rest of the weather radar would be a real big issue

The smallest decent looking fan [using sliding doors] you can make is about 4 studs long
