Hello there chest lovers of Roblox, WoodReviewer here with with an amazing quest into adventure and loot with Lootify by Yes Madam. For those of you who are unaware, Lootify is and adventure game where you loot dungeons and battle bosses in quest to find epic weapons. However, I don’t care about epic weapons, I just care about wood grain. So, how is the wood grain in Lootify? Not very good.
The adventure starts out us out in the spawn area where we are greeted with this helpful guide on the gameplay loop since the creator knows everyone is going to skip through the intro GUI and forget how to play the game. This sign has one major flaw as the vertical posts have bad wood grain.

If you have been following me recently you know one of the biggest pet peeves as of late is sign having bad wood grain on them since everyone seems to be doing it. However long time readers will also remember that one of my original pet peeves was when people would all use bad wood grain on crates. And guess what Lootify also has? Yup, right outside of the spawn area it has some wooden crates filled with bad wood grain, plus this wooden merchant cart. This cart is just terrible, with bad wood grain on basically every surface along with somehow having bad wood grain on horizontal and vertical supports for the roof. I don’t see that often.

Leaving the initial spawn area, I cam across a ship and took off to start my adventure. There I found my big pet peeve number three, bad wood grain on chair legs. People often wonder “WoodReviewer, does your advent calendar really need multiple chairs every year?” And my answer to that is yes it clearly does since devs still don’t understand how to make one of the most basic and common assets in any game correctly.

When I finally arrived at the next area the first thing I was greeted with was this light post that had bad wood grain. Unlike the merchant’s cart earlier, this lamp post has proper wood grain on the horizontal and even the diagonal support. That makes it all the more depressing that the vertical post has bad grain.

Continuing my exploration of this new island, I first had to climb up this ladder to get to the upper areas of the island. However this was incredibly unsafe as the rails for the ladder has proper wood grain on them. I’m not sure what type of weird world this is where all the vertical wood grain is wrong, but this bizarro world should at least have bad horizontal wood grain also.

But speaking of bad horizontal wood grain, at the top of the ladder are these fence posts. It appears as if they use some type of custom endless wooden plank texture, which I love. What I don’t love is that the posts have this plank texture, and the texture is horizontal. What I hate even more is that the

I mean seriously, how can you go and make a custom endless plank texture and then think this looks fine.

But enough getting overly angry over a badly applied endless plank texture. It is time to get overly angry over a bench having bad wood grain. Again, it is something basic with just the vertical posts having bad wood grain but the fact it is so basic makes it me even more angry because it is so simple to fix and should clearly look bad.

Speaking of looking bad what is going on with the wheel on this ship. Just ignoring the outer wheel, the spokes for the wheel are all over the place. Some sides have proper horizontal wood grain, others have diagonal wood grain, and some seem to have combinations of all the two. But none have vertical wood grain, so that is ood.

Oh and speaking of stuff that makes no sense, these barrels near spawn make no sense. They are wooden planks, but not the good endless ones seen elsewhere through the map. The real problem is that the planks here should be vertical with the metal bands keeping them together. Right now nothing is actually holding the barrel together vertically since the planks are wrapping around it.

“WoodReviewer, what happened to the bit you were doing about traveling around the world.”
Shut up I’m angry now and the bit is dead. The actual map I’ve reviewed so far is really small it just has a bunch of bad wood grain everywhere.

And yes I am dressed like Steve wearing a cactus.

Anyway, what else is there to review. This sign for the workshop has bad wood grain again, because it must be a given now for signs to bad bad wood grain. But it doesn’t just have bad wood grain on the vertical post, but also the top face of the horizontal base for the sign. Plus this the bellows have bad wood grain. This is a bit complicated, but basically because of the way forces go on the bellows the wood grain should go from the side facing the fire to the end of the bellows.

So as is, when force is applied to the bellows the grain will try and snap like this as it is compressed and extended because the breaking force is perpendicular to the grain structure.

While where if the grain is the correct way the grain is parallel to the breaking force which would keep it together. The best way to fix this is to simply make the bellows narrower or make it some wooden planks connected with some support.

But back from the third major tangent of this review, the last major piece of bad wood grain I found in the starter area was this shop. It has a ton of bad wood grain everywhere, from the sign, to the posts, to the table, to the little fencepost in the back Will I go into detail for each example? No, it is just all bad and should be fixed.

So, how is the wood grain overall in Lootify? It is dreadful. This is EBR or 2015 Asimo levels of the amount of bad wood grain I was able to find in such a small starting area. I mean, this review of the starting area is longer than some reviews I make for entire game, and there is still some small stuff like bad end grain on some wooden planks that I am ignoring because as disjointed this review is I still can’t make it fit.
“That is all great, but what exactly is this game actually about?”
IDK. That’s not my department. My job is to just care about wood grain, go find someone else to tell you about the gameplay. Hopefully their review is better than my review of the wood grain.

This is the very first blog post of yours that I’ve read. I’m pretty sure I understand how wood grain works because of you. I’d like to thank you for angrily ranting about wood for everybody’s benefit.
