Opinions

In the following days, they did their best to finish the game in time and made big progress. They can now upload them after some tests.

And in the meantime, the company was also registered.

Now that they have an identity, they also finished setting up their company website.

After they registered the company, they began to finish up the game work.

And in the evening when no one was expecting anything, they silently published the games.

...

Ria was just starting a live stream and browsed the game store when she was notified of a new game uploaded.

"Huh? I got notified of a new game? But I haven't followed anyone—has Leo published the game?" she murmured.

"No, that's not right. How could he publish a new game? He just uploaded Minecraft recently."

Just when she was confused, another notification popped up.

"Again? Did he upload two games? Or is this a platform mistake?"

While confused, she went to check and saw the new games in Leo's developer account.

She was shocked to see not one but two new games.

"Oh my, how did he do that? How could he manage to make two games in such a short time?"

"How does he work? He just uploaded the game recently and now two new games."

She was bewildered and confused for a moment, then she hastily downloaded both games.

"Hey chat, is it possible to make games so fast? This efficiency is a bit too much, right?" she asked.

-It should be possible, right?

-Yes, we have the technology for making VR games, so making PC and mobile games is faster.

-But this much speed is still...

-Yeah, to get this high efficiency, you'd have to have a complete layout or plans for the games before starting.

...

After the game finished downloading, she opened Roblox. Ria adjusted her headset, took a deep breath, and glanced at the chat window on her computer screen.

She opened the game and started playing.

"Ok chat, today is my first experience with Roblox. For those who just joined and don't know much, it's a game developed by Leo, who is also the developer of Minecraft. So let's dive into it."

Her chat erupted with excitement.

"Let's go, Ria!"

"Let's see what this Roblox is about."

"Yeah, can't wait to see it! Is it as good as Minecraft, developed by Leo?"

Ria navigated to the Roblox homepage, her eyes wide with wonder at the colorful array of games and experiences displayed. "Wow, look at all these options!" she exclaimed. "Any suggestions on where we should start?"

"Try 'Adopt Me!'"

"Check out 'Tower of Hell.'"

"How about 'Brookhaven RP?'"

Ria chuckled, appreciating the variety of choices. "Okay, let's start with 'Adopt Me!'"

She clicked on the game, and after a brief loading screen, she found herself in a vibrant town square filled with other players. The graphics were bright and welcoming, and a cheerful soundtrack played in the background.

"Alright, here we go! First things first, let's create our character." Ria's avatar appeared on the screen, and she spent a few minutes customizing her look. She chose a cute outfit with a pink hoodie, matching sneakers, and a ponytail. "There! What do you guys think?" she asked her chat.

"Adorable!"

"Perfect look for starting!"

"Love the pink hoodie!"

Ria smiled at the positive feedback. She started exploring the town, noticing other players running around with pets, some in cars, and others flying above with wings. It was a lot to take in, but she was excited to learn.

"Okay, I need a pet! Let's find out how to get one." Following a series of prompts and tips, Ria made her way to the nursery where she could adopt her first pet. After some deliberation, she chose a puppy.

"Meet Sparky, everyone!" she announced proudly, showing off her new virtual companion. Sparky wagged its tail and followed her around the game world.

As she enjoyed the game, her viewers also started to like the game, but there were also people with their own opinions.

"It is a lot like Minecraft."

"In a sense, yes, but that's expected as both are sandbox-style games."

"But still, it feels like Leo is riding his hype by making the same style of game. The popularity of Minecraft could make this game a success anyway, as both games have similarities."

Ria, after seeing the chat's opinions, said, "You can't say that, chat. The game is just released, and we don't know anything about it yet. You can't judge this game like that."

Although she somewhat felt that the style of Minecraft and this game were similar, she believed that there must be something unique in this game, as Leo's games are all innovative and she didn't feel that Leo was the type of person who would milk the IP of his game just for success.

Of course, there was no particular reason why she felt so positive except that she was a fan of his work.

But obviously, what Ria felt was not well received by some people. There were still voices in the chat saying this might be Leo milking the Minecraft IP.

Ria ignored those groups of people and tried different games.

"How about we try a different game now? I'm thinking 'Tower of Hell' next."

As Ria played the game, she was having fun. There were so many options to choose from in Roblox, and her viewers were also liking her stream and the game.

However, there were still voices comparing it to Minecraft despite the two games being completely different. The only similarity between both games is the sandbox-style open world where players can create and explore the game without restriction.

What was more surprising was that there were not many voices calling Roblox a children's game.

This is due to Leo making some changes to the game and also due to the marketing. In Leo's previous life, Roblox was mostly promoted and marketed as a children's game even though it didn't have any age restrictions and adults also played it.

But in this world, Leo didn't do that, and due to his influence, the game is slowly being accepted by people of all ages.
