Roblox Scripting. I make YouTube videos teaching Roblox game creation. My channel has: 301,000 subscribers; Over 27 million video views; 150+ tutorial videos published – free to watch! Join over 301,000 subscribers who already watch my YouTube Channel to learn scripting on Roblox.

If you’re new to Roblox Studio or scripting in general, we understand that it may seem like a daunting task creating your first game. Oftentimes, our community members will be excited to tell us about all the cool game ideas they have, but they’re not sure how to get started or they may lack the experience to bring their concepts to life. In an effort to show you everything you need to know and learn about Studio, we’re pleased to introduce our new YouTube series, Roblox Studio Tutorials.

Roblox Studio Tutorials are designed with newcomers and veterans in mind. Not only are these videos short and sweet, but they’re also task-oriented, allowing us to build a comprehensive program around implementing specific features in your game, like a door or a car; how to use certain tools, like Erode and Scale; building different types of terrain, like a beach or a hill; scripting guidance; and much, much more. Even if you’re a Studio expert, these videos are still a valuable resource if you want to learn how to do something in just a couple minutes.

Take a peek at one of our videos below, “Intro to Scripting.” Then, check out the entire scripting playlist here! All of our tutorial videos can be found by clicking on the Playlists tab on our YouTube channel.

As we previously announced on the blog, we are also working on implementing these tutorial videos directly in our templates. Our newest template, Village, shows you how to make cool mechanisms in your game with constraints, as well as how to use the Region Tool’s Fill function, among others.

Village Template: Hit the blue play button on the speech bubble while you’re editing to open the tutorial video inside Studio!

We’re only just starting to scratch the surface. Above all, we want everyone in the community to start building games, even simple ones, and take their Studio skills one step further. In the near future, you can look forward to more videos about all of our latest Studio features as they’re released, as well as other tools and concepts we haven’t yet covered. We’re working hard to make sure that these playlists will be the ultimate video reference guide for all things Studio.

As Bloxtober lurches from the crypt and onto your screens, developers everywhere have been asking us: “How can I make an effective horror game on Roblox?” To find the answer, we’ve studied some of Roblox’s best horror titles, reviewed gaming history, and even interviewed Bloxy-nominated master of horror pa00 to learn how the pros do it. Lock your doors and dim the lights as we explore the spooky strengths of the Roblox platform and stake out the fundamentals of scary game-making.

You may think you need high-resolution, gruesomely realistic graphics to scare people, but if that were the case there wouldn’t have been so many scary games made in the days where colors, sounds, and even pixels were strictly limited. Modern indie horror developers often keep graphics minimalistic on purpose to exploit a simple quirk of the human brain: when people are given only a few details to work with, their imagination runs wild filling in the rest.

You know why dark rooms are scary? Because not knowing what’s there is scarier than knowing for sure.

Consider the monster encountered early on in pa00’s stealth-horror title RED44_SATYR44. The game warned me to run and hide if I saw danger, so the instant I glimpsed a blurry something I turned and fled. I’d seen glowing teeth and a skeleton, that much I was sure of…but what about the rest of it? Not being totally sure what was coming after me, or what it was capable of, lent wonder and energy to my terror. If I’d been able to make out more details, I wouldn’t have been nearly as terrified.

The tendency of some Roblox models and avatars to be cheerful or toylike can be a useful asset in the hands of a canny developer. Think of how many horror movies and books you’ve seen that feature evil toys, schools, or children. There’s something spine-chilling about seeing things usually considered innocent and harmless turning sinister and deadly.

All that said, making the environments and monsters chilling isn’t your main priority. After all, nobody’s scared when even gruesome and famous horror movie monsters appear in fighting games. All the creepy art in the world won’t matter unless you’ve mastered the basic principles of horror game design.

Hey, look! It’s ominous countdown o’clock! Almost time to jump out of my skin!

When we wrote to pa00 asking what’s the key to designing effective horror, he answered: “I think the key is placing a feeling of inevitability on the player. They should know that something bad will happen to them, very soon, and they can’t do much about it.”

One of the first things your game ought to do is establish that the player is threatened. You can do this directly by simply warning them about what’s coming in a splash screen or the game description. You can do it slowly by dropping clues, such as radio reports, newspaper articles, quiet noises, and skeletons, that there’s something dangerous afoot. You can even do it implicitly, as in RED44_SATYR44, by casually providing tutorials for things like running and hiding before the player’s discovered anything that’s actually dangerous.

The important thing is that the player always feels the other shoe’s about to drop and that one false move will bring a quick and terrible end. In fact, making the players feel like they’re in danger is much more important than actually placing them in danger. If you’re clever, you can make a game that’s secretly unlosable feel more nerve-racking edge-of-seat perilous than one where any false move brings the “game over” screen. During one portion of Silent Dark, a long build-up where the player becomes aware of a loose monster culminates as the level shakes and alarms start blaring. The message is very clear: you need to run or else you’re going to be eaten. During this section, the game cleverly requires you to press tiny keypads to open doors, so every time you reach a keypad you feel yourself fumbling to open it, certain that you’ve taken too long and the monster’s about to eat you…unless, like me, you trap yourself in one of the rooms through an extremely unlikely accident and discover (as the level continues shaking and the loud noises play unabated) that the feeling of danger is just an illusion.

(Or maybe I just glitched out the monster. I wouldn’t take the risk if I were you.)

Before you emphasize difficulty, remember that losing is an end to tension. It reminds the player they’re sitting at their device playing a video game. Repeated painless deaths can grind terror into frustration very quickly.

Turns out this screen’s one of the least scary in the game.

But making the player feel threatened isn’t your only tool. In our interview pa00 explained, “It also helps to lead the player into a sense of security in a certain place or time so that they have to constantly leave these boundaries of safety on their own and brave the unknown.” You can see this principle put to work in RED44_SATYR44 whenever you hide in a locker. Sure, you’re safe as long as you remain inside your cozy little shelter, but nobody’s keen to play “Inside of a Container Simulator” any longer than they really need to. Sooner or later you’re going to have to take a deep breath and step back into danger.

Ask yourself: which takes more courage, walking through the shadows or into them? You only need a sense of self-preservation to keep going through peril, but entering it forces a player to confront their fear. Besides, games that never let players escape a sense of danger can be exhausting. It’s much more likely that someone will finish your game if they feel they can catch their breath every now and again.
