roblox wasnt the first to have UGC, and UGC was only implemented a few months ago, while ReeliChat was accepting items from users since 2018 to help add items to the store

but promo codes are directly copied from roblox considering the platform comes from people looking for "sandbox" or roblox revivals

groups are already confirmed to be added in the new website later on, possibly with a different name

Groups (although not a gigantic feature) require a substantial amount of work + testing. Right now they're focusing on the new site and the game client it looks like. I'm not sure if groups are included in the new site.

Seriously though its not as easing as just "making groups"

@ForLegalReasons uhh.. I wasn’t talking about someone doing a long paragraph of something else.


I mean like, does any other roblox knock of or rip-off have promo codes?

"That’s copying roblox."

by that logic user created content is copying roblox

listen as long as the devs duck and weave through the legal minefields we should be fine

speaking of legal bullfeces let me cite this from a heavy wip roblox clone discord server i'm in on the topic of patents screwing over potential roblox clones

"so i'm going through most of the patents
the big ones are
- No user generated Decals, but I can probably get around this by rebranding as a "uv map" to a "conveniently square mesh"
- Lighting has to intentionally suck
- Terrain has to intentionally suck
- "Studio" has to be intentionally neutered feature wise
- No player invites from the website (but maybe in-game)
- No user-generated Shirts and Pants (which is fine because user generated avatars all the way anyway)
- Probably no teleport feature, you're just gonna have to do ye old fashioned way
- Either "Studio" is a web app, or servers are user-hosted (website can't act as dispatcher to point users to places)
- Website can't point to a "content portal" of user-uploaded forts
- No "global" avatar for all "games"
- VR "Roblox clone" is a patent minefield and won't happen until at least 2036
Majority of these TheFilterIsGarbageSoThisIsHereexpire in 2027, but thats a long ass time

- No user uploaded decals
- No transparency for "shirts", "pants", etc, and deliberately as far away from whatever "toy person" means
- No welds (as if anyone cares anyway)
- Allow access to os.write(), os.new(), etc.
- No "global" avatar--each avatar is per-game.
- Only admin-created vehicles are available.
- No place teleporting
- No rating system on catalog
- Cannot invite "friends" to join game
- No VIP servers (who cares)
- Lighting has to be suckier
- Terrain has to be suckier
- No "gear"--only user created Places"
