We have people building models in Roblox for their Mayan ruins history project, or we've had people build tornadoes for their weather project. Roblox can be used in a lot of different ways.
We continually compare Roblox to traditional gaming companies. The difference between us and them is that Roblox has millions of people always creating stuff. That gives us the viral juice both with the content and the sharing between all those users.
The foundation of Roblox is user-generated content: just like on YouTube there is so much to watch, on Roblox there is so much to play.
Roblox is free. The dev tools are free. Anyone can come in and play with Roblox Studio and make a game and push it to our cloud and have it be playable.
As our platform gets technically better, coupled with allowing developers to make real money on Roblox, that's created a virtuous cycle where the quality of Roblox games is continuing to go up and up.
I think I've been able to build up a wide range of styles in storytelling, using comics in different ways from project to project. I think my art has become more accomplished, although I try to keep it from becoming slick or superficial.
I never had a lot of ideas. I always have exactly one that is the next project; the idea of a project beyond that project is ludicrous.
When Maryam Babangida and Mariam Abacha built the Women Centre and the National Hospital they did not carry the buildings when they left government. I will not go with the peace mission building. Women should resist being used to kick against the project. If the project was for men the budget for the project would have long been passed.
It depends on the project, what's happening that day on the project, at what stage were in on the project; it various from project to project and where we're needed.
For me, everything is still possible and I am as determined as ever. I believe first that the project of a people does not die. It is the project of freedom for a people, it is a project of sovereignty. And since the nation exists, it has the right to its own state. I will work to advance it in that direction.
When I started out in stand-up, I was already used to speaking in front of people, how to project, control my voice - a lot of learning curves I had overcome.
Roblox provides a world where kids can get together and socialize in hundreds of different settings.
I'm strictly a one-project-at-a-time kind of guy. If I came up with a compelling idea for a different book while working on a project, I'd probably abandon the first project and go with the new idea.
Once parents see that Roblox isn't simply a video game, but a platform for creativity, building, coding, collaboration, and more, they become some of our biggest advocates.
I also learn a lot about everybody else's process. People create in different ways, so that has opened me up to different processes and experimenting. Laurie Keller is a character person, so she came to the project with these blades-of-grass characters that we were able to literally grow a story around.
Roblox is not only free to play, but free to build.
Every project is different. Adapting 'Robopocalypse' would be totally different than adapting, say, 'Hunger Games.' Each project has its own life and its own identity. You get into trouble when you think there's one single way to approach everything. Each project, there's a different way to attack it.
