Content Grab Bag 8/7/19

Hey there! Here’s what I’ve released since the last blog post. All Roblox projects this time.

Gun-Train Gauntlet

Gun-Train Gauntlet is a single-player game inspired by shmups and bullet hells. In it, you take on a gauntlet of 12 levels in whatever order you want. In these levels you engage with enemy gun-trains. Every time you hit an enemy gun-train, you earn points and increase the power of your score multiplier by a bit. However, watch out, as your combo eventually expires! You can keep it going if you hit a special kind of gun-train that extends it.

Maintaining combos is a core part of surviving in Gun-Train Gauntlet, as you must earn a certain number of points per level to keep your run going.

Practice your skills and see how high of a score you can rack up! Similar to an arcade game, Gun-Train Gauntlet uses a pay-per-session monetization strategy, however the first session is free and the game will grant you a free play every couple of hours or so if you redeem it.

BADGRAPHIX Creations Museum

For a couple years now I’ve been looking for a satisfying way to compile together all the projects that aren’t playable from my group, and I’ve found the answer. The BADGRAPHIX Creations Museum is a curated collection of unreleased and retired projects spanning over a decade of Roblox game development. Some exhibits even include information on their project’s development history!

Group Build

 

This project is pretty much as self-descriptive as it gets.

In the past, Roblox used to have these special places called group build servers, where users in a group would come together as a community and build in a shared space that persisted across game sessions.

Here, I’ve decided to make my own take on it. In the spirit of the old group build servers, this place is exclusive to users who join BADGRAPHIX Creations.

Note: Everything shown in the two screenshots are created by members of the BADGRAPHIX Creations community!

Trial of the 40 Figments

For a good year or two, I was working on-and-off on an RPG codenamed Project Creatures. I even showcased a bit of it on this blog. For a long time I had difficulty deciding on the ultimate direction I wanted to take the project in, but once I had settled on something, I ran into a hard-to-swallow issue: it just wasn’t fun.

Because of this, I shelved the project and went to work on something completely different (it went on to become Gun-Train Gauntlet).

By the time that project had reached its completion, I had the idea for a new RPG with more of a focus on macro-management over the course of a whole run than on the strategy needed in each individual battle.

This game became what you see here: Trial of the 40 Figments.

This game just released the other day, so it’s a bit bare on content at the moment. However, I have a lot planned for its future, so play the game, provide feedback, and stay tuned for whatever I come out with next!

10th Anniversary Content Grab Bag

Tomorrow marks 10 years since I first started producing content under the name BADGRAPHIX on my YouTube channel. A passion for video games made me decide on a name somewhat related to that, so I picked the username “badgrafix” as a bit of a riff on the Turbografx-16, but it was taken so I used “badgraphix” instead. I was only eleven years old when I chose the name, but I still like it and have consistently used it as a handle for my online presence since then.
There hasn’t been a content grab bag in a while due to my content releases slowing down, so I’ll be compiling them here followed by a little teaser for something coming tomorrow…

Project Creatures Gameplay Presentation

In this video, I present my progress developing my long-in-progress Roblox game Project Creatures. There have been some major changes since this was shown off, but the big idea remains the same. If I make further progress updates, you will find them first on my Roblox group BADGRAPHIX Creations.

Even More Project Creatures Footage


A Man & His Pillow

For a while, I was using “Eating A Nintendo Switch Cartridge” as the title for this video but decided on changing it to the true title shown at the end of the video. It is the eighth BADGRAPHIX Feature, the first in almost two years!

Roblox’s Tickets: A Postmortem

Earlier this year, I released a seven-part miniseries chronicling my experiences on Roblox. Those videos were fairly off the cuff in their presentation while the writing for this video was actually prepared beforehand, making it the first BADGRAPHIX video essay.

And The New Video Teaser…

The special will be available to watch at this link after it comes out.

Content Grab Bag 3/14/17

Hey everybody, I think I’ll be using this “grab bag” format going forward to compile my releases together. Here’s what’s come out since the last blog post.

Stories From Roblox: The RHQ Forums

One of the most popular Roblox fan sites back in the day was Clockwork’s Roblox HQ. In the second installment of my “Stories From Roblox” miniseries, I recount its forum community and its eventual demise.

Stories From Roblox: The Greatest Foe

Learn about the old way enemies used to work for groups on Roblox in the third installment of the Stories From series, “The Greatest Foe Has Declared You An Enemy.”

Project Creatures Gameplay Footage

During the Project Creatures Blind Test, one piece of feedback I received was regarding the game’s camera. The user in question was hoping for something more 3D, akin to Paper Mario. In respond, I halted normal development to experiment with the game’s perspective. Here’s some footage I took while doing that. These are unlisted videos, some some of the footage is reused in Stories From Roblox 3.

Clothing Releases

Nothing new this time, but to commemorate Stories From Roblox 3 I have put The Greatest Foe T-Shirt back on sale! Like most of my clothing items, it is priced at 8 ROBUX.

The First Post on the Blog: Content Grab Bag

Hi everyone, welcome to the first post on the BADGRAPHIX Creations Blog! I’ve been wanting to establish a universal hub for all my work and this is the first step in doing that.

To kick things off, I’ll be going over the things I’ve released in the last few days. My creative output has been rich in this period so there’s a grab bag of stuff to go over.

Project Creatures Blind Test

First we’ve got the big release: a sneak peek at Project Creatures, the game I’ve been working on for the last year. This is a working title and the content is too. I’ve got a little bit of everything working so I wanted to throw it into the wild and see how people responded. Leave your feedback on the group wall after playing around in there and tell me what you thought–this is the stage where I make changes based on user feedback so I don’t throw out something completely unapproachable when it’s finished.

In Project Creatures, character movement is performed through a custom-scripted grid-based system. By no coincidence, this is the exact same system used in the early Pokemon games, so I released this.

Explore 1998’s Kanto in Full Color!

Many years ago, I brought the region of Red and Blue’s Kanto into full color using the palette of the GBA remakes, FireRed and LeafGreen. I also filled out the missing gaps, and today, I bring it into Roblox for you to explore around in. Not sure if I’ll go anywhere with this project, but I thought it’d be cool for people to explore the region without any boundaries. Haven’t you ever wanted to know what was in the grass east of Route 1?

Stories From Roblox: The Friend Request Exploit

A common question I get on Roblox is why the user John Doe is following me. With user ID number 2, John Doe is essentially the oldest unused account on the website. I set out to answer the question in this video.

“Stories From Roblox” is a series I’d like to continue. They’re easy to produce, and it’s exciting to tell experiences from the game I’ve had knocking around in my head for years.

Clothing Releases

To cap things off, check out these clothing releases. A new update is coming out that will remove the ability to make your limbs different colors. In response, I’ve released outfits that simulate this classic style so new players will still be able to do it.
