Hello mouse people of ROBLOX, WoodReviewer here. Today it is once again time to pay a visit to our good friend Asimo3089 and his newest showcase Buena Vista. Of course, after he fixed up The Wind, I expect him to keep all the lessons he learned making that and apply them to all his new showcases, Buena Vista included.
Unfortunately, my expectations were set too high.
Hello shipping container enthusiasts, WoodReviewer here, today I am back to take another look at some of the template places that ROBLOX has decided to give to new users to help them learn how to build and tell ROBLOX why the places are fundamentally broken. Well, maybe not fundamentally broken, but the wood grain is bad, so they are basically unplayable to me. Anyway, today I am taking a look at the Team/Free for All Deathmatch Arena place. Honestly, there is not much bad wood grain here, only two assets actually have improper wood grain. So lets start off with the most repeated offender.
Hello there defenders of the universe, WoodReviewer here, today I am taking my second look at Voltron: Legendary Defender by Quenty and Maelstronomer. For those who are unaware, Voltron: Legendary Defender is a sponsored place for the new Voltron cartoon that airs tonight at 9:00 PM on Netflix. Or sooner. Or later. Really anytime you want since that is how Netflix works. In this review, I will not be focusing on the crates, like I did in the first part of my review. This review is solely focused on non-crate related wood grain issues. Luckily, there were plenty of them.
This is one minor problem. Do you see the brown piece of wood on the bottom of the boat? The bottom texture of the planks is facing the right way, but the texture on the left side is incorrect. It should go up and down, not front to back, like this.
Hello TV enthusiasts who no longer want to pay for cable, WoodReviewer here. Today I am taking a look at Voltron: Legendary Defender, a sponsored game made by Quenty and Maelstronomer. Well, part of the game atleast. You see, the game itself is fairly long and my review for it, which will be released early tomorrow, was too long, and this blog is what I cut out. Now, what exactly was so long that I had to make a second blog just to talk about it? This.
Hello procrastinators, WoodReviewer here, and today I have a different type of blog post for you. First off, this is not a review of any place or model. Secondly, the main purpose of this blog is not how to make games with proper wood grain, but when to make add proper wood grain.
When? Yes, when. You see, in many games with bad wood grain that claim to be in the alpha/beta stages of development say “we’re in alpha/beta, the wood grain will be fixed eventually.” That is true; wood grain can be fixed when a game is ready to be released, but it shouldn’t be. If you don’t care for my opinion then you can close this page and fix wood grain however you want, but if you want some building tips on how to fix wood grain quickly without slowing down how long it takes to build maps, stick around for a while.
Hello there free modelers who can’t even bother to use free models, WoodReviewer here, today I am continuing my journey through ROBLOX’s template places by taking a look at the Racing template place. This is kind of a special place for me. You see, before WoodReviewer started I wanted to help improve ROBLOX by fixing up the old racing template place. However I never got around to it and someone else fixed it up. Or they remade it completely since this looks nothing like the old one. Anyway, here I am reviewing the result of an old project I wanted to under take.
Hello there Judges of Wood Grain Justice, WoodReviewer here, and today is the day to decide if The Wind should enter free models or not. You see, a week or so ago I challenged Asimo3089 to fix the wood grain in The Wind, or have the place released into free models. Now, I’m not unreasonable so only most of the wood grain needs to be fixed, not all of it. Here is the updated version of the place, hopefully with proper wood grain. Now, lets start by looking at what I told Asimo needed to be fixed in my previous blog post, starting with the dock you spawn on.
So, I have some good and bad news. Good news is that I, WoodReviewer, am here to do another blog post. The bad news is that I will not be reviewing the fixed version of The Wind that Asimo was suppose to make. He has until Sunday now. That was not an easy decision, but something came up. You see, BADGRAPHIX showed up on Twitter and issued me a challenge to find bad wood grain in one of his places.
Knowing what I normally do to devs who challenge me, this was a bold move. However, it was even bolder because I was already checking out his places for bad wood grain before he even Tweeted this, and I already found some in Castle in the Sky Ascension . So he had, in effect, issues me a challenge to find bad wood grain in a game that I had already found it. Bold move.
Hello lovers of fine Italian cuisine and animatronic dancing animals, WoodReviewer here, today I am taking a look at a true classic ROBLOX game: The Pizzeria Roleplay: Remastered. It is a great game that takes all the innovative features of Work at a Pizza Place, throws them out, fills the game with Five Nights at Freddy’s assets, and the renames the game because Five Nights at Freddy’s creator doesn’t actually check the content of games to see if they infringe on his intellectual property. The probably stolen intellectual property aside, it is a game, so I must review it. I have never played the original Five Nights at Freedy’s, not because the game is bad or anything, I just can’t play horror games without imagining the Adam West Batman running around the game half naked spraying enemies with shark repellent. So if the wood grain in Five Nights at Freddy’s is improper and the Pizzeria Roleplay team are just trying to replicate it, I don’t care; bad wood grain is bad and whoever uses it should feel bad.
Like this table leg.
Hello there fellow introverts who would rather look at wood than spend time with family, WoodReviewer here. Today it is time for another blog where I look at ROBLOX’s template places and fix the bad wood grain in them. Now, I know last Friday I did a few joke reviews of some places without bad wood grain, and originally that series of blogs was going to be finished by a review of the Capture the Flag template place. You see, when I did my first look at it, the place seemed just fine; the only wood grain in the place was on the decking for the bridge, and that wood seemed just fine.
