While I don't mind the idea of a Roblox game, I don't want to go through downloading it to play your game. Roblox is great in it's own environment but outside that, it's not convenient for run and go experiences. If you're interested in game design, there's a lot of great (free) software out there to your disposal (Unity, UE4, or even something like RPG Maker...) Take the time to learn one (or more) and the experience will be rewarding.
im unable to download this file, have no idea why. i will keep trying at least until the last day of rating.
I haven't tried this as yet, but I have read the comments so far. Ideally this game jam is about creating games, and again ideally with a Windows execution file so they can be played as a standalone. The use of a third party application, especially one that requires someone to sign up isn't really an expectation of players to commit to, and shouldn't be either for a game jam. I think what we have here is a 'mod' for an already established game. I am familiar with Roblox so I will indeed check it out, but I wouldn't expect others to do so I'm afraid.
Edit (8/20/18): VinnNo. has confirmed that this is actually a game. See his post for more details on that. Just goes to show you can't judge a book by it's author, I guess. Moving forward I plan to leave my remaining posts up though. It feels wrong to take them down at this point, but take it with a grain of salt. I did not have all the information when I wrote these. Sorry.
Sorry, about the tone of my previous post. I have done a little more research and have a slightly more open view on this. Kind of... more polite at least.
"The Gamer Cat" this entry was posted first of all entries on the jam. Just 4 hours after after the Jam opened. Best I can tell you have talked to no one during the entire month of the jam. Your game's page on itch.io is very difficult to read (though it does contain a list of six OGA assets you claimed to have used). The game requires signing up for a third party service. And your previous submissions on itch.io include "Global Warming Real" and "obama.exe". All of this leads me to be very suspicious of your post.
Now I have learned some things that alleviate some of that. For example it appears to be possible to submit a jam entry before it is complete on itch.io so you could have been working on it all along and Roblox is a legit sounding service I just happen to be unfamiliar with.
However, your entry is not legit is it? I took a closer look at your games, and would be surprised if you could prove to me if any of them are real let alone this one. Feel free to prove me wrong get a copy OBS Studio or a digital camcorder and get a video of your game in action. I would love to see it, but as it stands I am really disappointed. Most of us tried really hard for a month to make a game (and a lot of people did not even finish). We kept cheering each other on and inspiring each other to do better. We poured everything we could into this. But if I played your game that is not what I would find is it? What did you have in mind? Was it a Rick and Morty joke like in "Rick and Morty Simulator", "Flip the Cartridge Over", or "Sisterhood of the Saphire". What about a jump scare like in "Touhou: Koala edition"? I will probably never know.
I was looking forward to playing your game. I planned to play it first. I did not expect it to be good, I just expected it to be interesting. Now today I face the disappointment that a game I had been looking forward to was probably never a game to begin with. I know you can do better than that. Why have you chosen this?
Roblox is free and made by a multi billion company and is the future of online gaming. Not sure why you are too afraid to install it and make an account on a website that lets you design multiplayer indie games and gives you free already working multiplayer and free servers, and lets you make millions of dollars off of said games.
I will admit at first I was concerned to download Roblox, because I expected to just download your game, but instead was linked to a website I had never seen before and ask to agree to terms I was not expecting and give away personal info. I do not think currently think the app is a virus or anything.
I disagree with you about Roblox being the future of online gaming. Reviews like this ( https://thecybersafetylady.com.au/2017/06/is-roblox-safe-for-kids/ ) are not hard to find and after having read most of that I do not feel I could recommend the platform to anyone with out significant changes.
However, Roblox is not my problem now. My problem is that in order to play your game I have to read and agree to the following:
Together this will probably take me at least three hours. Which would be fine if 1.) The terms are acceptable and 2.) I had a reason to do it. In the mean time you have not taken the effort to:
Only the first of which would have taken more than an hour of your time.
So at the end of the day here is the question. Why should I play your game? The Open Game Art community is about respecting copyright and making quality works more easily available to everyone. I have to read those documents before playing your game even becomes an option. I will never use the Roblox platform myself and I can not recommend it to others. So what is it about your game, not Roblox, that is worth gambling three hours of my life on?
PS I would recommend changing your mindset. I think it is better to have a heavy heart than a heavy wallet.
i dont know if you've read buissness insider, but roblox is one of the fastest growing companies and is worth more than a billion dollars. You are only gypping yourself by being an indie game dev that is afraid to make a roblox account.

I think your concerns are justified, Saliv. And to be frank, there have been more security issues with roblox than I can count, and that's just the ones I know about. But let me add some defense here, too.
It is actually a game. Granted, it looks like mostly default stuff with graphic swaps, and could probably be made in just a few hours(possibly minutes), it is still probably a legit submission. My kid plays roblox and has roblox studio, so I'm familiar with the scene. While you can make a game (rather an obby) in just a few minutes and call it done, the same could be said about rpgmaker. Like rpgmaker, most creations are going to be generic.
My kids played it and it looks mostly stock but still a legit submission, technically.
Thanks for the reply. I will edit my post to mention yours. It still bugs me that he refuses to make any attempt to prove it is a real game given the circumstances, but your testimony is good enough for me. Moving on.
To try this, I have to register to an unknow (for me) page. Sorry, no :(
