Vampire Hunters 2

​

Written by: Mark0219

Vampire Hunters 2 is a game made by Zacattackk. The object of the game is to figure out who the vampire is and hide as the detective tries to eliminate them. This game is the sequel to Vampire Hunters, where the goal is the same, just without character customization and player power ups available in version two.

The following types of rounds can be played for every match:

CLASSIC: A match with simple game rules.

HELPLESS: A match with no detectives and survivors have to hide from the vampires until the timer is up.

HUMANS VS. VAMPIRES: A match where multiple players are divided into teams. The detectives try to kill the vampires and avoid being killed. The vampires try to eliminate the detectives and avoid being shot.

Players can customize their in-game characters unlike the first version. Players can add power ups to their in-game classes and gun skins for the detective class.

I have personally played this game multiple times now. It is very addictive and thrilling.

The downside is that sometimes teamers that take the guns away and team up with the vampires until the round is over. There are sometimes exploiters in servers that ruin the fun of the game.

But overall, this game is very fun and has a creepy feeling to it. My verdict for this game would be: 8.5/10. 8.5 for being very fun, but not a full 10 since it does have teamers and exploiter

Meep City

Article Written By: anoying bro2 / H_0T

​

Overview:
Meep City is an interactive online role playing game that has been excelling on the front page of the gaming platform ROBLOX for a while now. This game has attracted the attention of many users do to its unique social aspect and customization features. Meep City offers users the ability to hangout, attend and throw their own social events. It does not stop there though, as there are many aesthetic customization features for your character, meep, and home. The possibilities are endless when it comes to customizing and meeting new friends.

How far has meep city come?
Meep City has come a long way on ROBLOX. Alexnewtron, the game creator, has been working on the game since 2016. It has been one of the biggest hits on ROBLOX having around 5,000 to 10,000 players on at all times. Since the beginning, the game has had customizable meeps (pets) and homes. Now, new features for customizability have been added for homes, characters, and your own meeps. Meep City has offered many new updates that players enjoy, like the racing update that offers players the chance to earn more in game currency.

Customization

Meep- In Meep City you are given a pet meep that you can customize with clothes and interact with in game. You can show off and compare meeps. There are many hat combos and colors for a meep that you can choose from to make your meep unique in its own way.

Character- Customization for your in-game character is also possible. In-game you can navigate to a free avatar customizer for players that either do not have items on ROBLOX or for users who simply just want some different pants. Your in-game character customizations also save so you won’t need to worry about customizing your character every time you join the game, which is another reason the game has become so popular in the ROBLOX community.

Home- As a player you are able to customize your own home and upgrade it. Many features are available for users to choose from including blueprints, paint, and furniture. You can move your furniture anywhere you want in your home and customize your rooms however you choose.

How do I make in game currency?

There are many ways to make in game currency which you can use on items like fishing, racing, and the meep star ball minigames.

Fishing allows players to interactively throw their rods into a lake and catch fish. Although this does take some skill, it is a sufficient way to obtain in game currency. Once you get a good amount of fish you can visit the meep/pet shop and sell your fish for in game currency.

Meep Star Ball lets players use their meeps and strategy skills to surpass other users in critical thinking obby levels. You can gain in game currency from completing levels with your meep. Once you get to the higher levels it gets pretty hard compared to most minigames on ROBLOX, although it does give you a good chance to show off your skills and gain in game currency to use towards customizing your home or meep.

Racing is another option for users to get currency or just pass the time and have fun with friends. You have the ability to compete with random users in quick and fun races or compete with your friends. For winning a race you are given a good amount of money and gain a higher ranking in the global meep city racing leaderboard. You also gain currency for just competing in a race itself.

Meep City’s Amazing Social Features:

Meep City Friends List is a friends list where you do not need someone as a ROBLOX friend to play with them in Meep City. You can add friends with Meep City’s custom friends list that saves all the friends you make in game. This is a great feature due to most players having a max friends list which doesn’t allow them to add anyone else. You can join anyone who is in a Meep City game if they are on your friends list and socialize with them.

I personally enjoy the Meep City friends list due to it being a lot easier than having to add someone on ROBLOX. It gives you the flexibility of being able to add players you socialize with to a secondary friends list so you can join them in game again.

Meep City Parties offer users the choice of either hosting a party or joining another party of their choosing. Hosted parties are inside of the host’s house and let players roam around to gather and socialize. This is one of the reasons the house customization features are widely used by players to show off their homes and meet new friends. Players can listen to music, dance, and even eat pizza or popcorn at a party!

In Conclusion

Meep City gives ROBLOX users the ability to socialize, hangout, customize, and compete in minigames. It continues to be updated with new furniture, home choices, and much more. We can expect a lot of future development in Meep City giving users more features and activities for them to choose from. When it comes to customizing and socializing in this fun and interactive game, the only limit is your imagination!

Meet the New Material: Glass

​

Written by: Simpletton

​

Over the years, Roblox builders have designed creative maps and models using Roblox Studios new advancements in physics, lighting, effects, and more. Now, Roblox has released a new material allowing builders to create even more beautiful creations- glass.

With glass now available on Roblox Studio, builders can take the upper hand in making things like windows more shiny. When using glass in Roblox Studio, it is important to remember that it gets its shininess from its reflective value. Before, builders only had plastic and smooth plastic to use to try and create a shiny effect.

Here are some ways you can make your glass windows look better when building in Roblox Studio.

Tint. Translucent glass tints the light that comes through.

Fresnel Reflections. Reflections on glass increase in strength the sharper your viewing angle to the surface. This gives a reflective outline effect around the edges of objects. The reflected image comes from the skybox.

Refractions. On high quality graphics levels, glass will distort the image of the objects behind it. Refraction strength decreases as the transparency property increases.

Epic Minigames Review

​

Written by: candypiecute

​

Have you ever played Epic Minigames? If your answer is “no,” then I recommend you try it out. It is an amazing game that let’s you play many different minigames including, Platform Peril, Pipeworks, Balcony Bolt, Castle Clash and many many more.

Shopping

In Epic Minigames you can buy, pets, titles, gear and effects. There are lots of different pets you can buy. My favorite pet in the game is the rabbit. My favorite effect is the sparkles.

The Lobby

In my opinion the best lobby on Roblox is Epic Minigames. The amazing lobby was built by worthyshiningkazoo. Right now the lobby is decorated for the holidays. It has a giant Christmas tree in the middle of the frozen lake. It has presents all over the place. The mine still looks the same, but there are a few lights. Again you should really check this game out. It is amazing!

Games

Epic Minigames has a lot of minigames! There is something for everyone. I decided to try out a game to tell you about it, and the games are so much fun to play. So lets get started! The minigame was Cube Factory. In Cube Factory everyone is split up into two teams, Blue and Red. In front of you is a panel with four buttons. Each one is red until you click it and it turns green. You need to make the right pattern to make a box. The team with the most boxes wins.  I was on the Red team. We won 36 to 26. I made six boxes.

The creator of this amazing game is TypicalType.

The person who made the lobby is worthyshiningkazoo

You can find me at Roblox under “candypiecute” and my motto is, “Color makes everything better.” Stay colorful everyone!
