BLOXcon Reminder: Get your Tickets!

I'm sure you've seen a million-bazillion reminders, (Lol) about BLOXcon, but make sure you get your BLOXcon Pass today!

New Website

Hey guys, today I'm announcing our new website. I know this one is new, but me and key thought you guys should get better. So over the next week or two I will be posting blog post about how it's coming. 

What will make this different?

• Well because I will be hosting it on my server instead of this used by Google who already has enough to deal with. It will load faster
• We will be using WordPress. Which will allow for better looking webpages and much more. (Why WordPress? It's true I'm a very good website designer, but to design a website advanced as WordPress would take many month. I will be making the website design though.

Much more then listed above will be better, I just can't think right now. Also, I'm holding a design contest, for our new website and logo. We going for a much newer look, a clean and sleek look. Any colors will do. 

Email the pictures of the stuff to: actjay1898@gmail.com .

What happened to Superspyware (My now very old account)

Hello, and this is something I have to say.

I'd like to please say that Superspyware is now gone, someone has token over. And that
the future of me doing Game Reviews will still happen. As I am now on XxEmmaEvilxX, my
very old account, yes, I promise to be with KNC News Cast,
and I always will. And today, I stand still on ROBLOX.
Hopefully whatever happens, I'll be still doing
game reviews. This is just an annoucement
to what has happened to 'Superspyware'. I really hope
to continue Game Reviews, thank you.



To 1key2: Please don't remove me from Game Reviewer, I'll
still pledge to post on our current KNC News Cast days
to post.

To BurninRubber02 and Kruer7: Thank you very much,
for welcoming me back to KNC News Cast, I feel more
happy as usual now that this tremendous News Cast has
grown over my break from it, I can not possibly
say anything more but this is the best time I've ever
had.

Also don't forget to follow me on my twitter: @TheEdibleRBLX

Perilous Skies: New Horizons

Perilous Skies: New Horizons

Not often do I get to go around and brag about my new and upcoming games, but that is exactly what I am going to do here. In 2010, I released my game Perilous Skies, a game where you take to the skies in fighter jets and shoot enemy fighters down with bullets and homing missiles. The game was a big hit and even won me an award at the first ever ROBLOX Game Conference.

However, Perilous Skies is breaking down. In the midst of that, I decided to start designing a sequel to the game. Instead of adding a '2' to the title, I decided to add in a subheading "New Horizons" representing a new day; new beginning; a new experience to the world of ROBLOX gaming and aviation.

Customize Menu in Alpha version of Perilous Skies: New Horizons

What's New?

Why am I making such a big deal about this game? Do I just want attention? More tickets or Robux? Nope. I am simply excited to share my hard-work with you guys. I am including a lot of cool new features that the original Perilous Skies did not have. Here are a few key changes and additions to New Horizons:

• Efficient scripting - The  game has a whole network of new coding that was written from absolutely nothing. Using a lot of techniques I've gained over the years from Lua and Java programming, I have made the game run very smoothly so far and still with a lot of cool effects and details.
• Dynamic saving - Each client has it's own '_G.Data' table that automatically saves in JSON string format and is loaded back on re-entry to the game. This allows me to save virtually any information to the player with little effort at all.
• Plane Customization - Perilous Skies: New Horizons is all about making your plane what you want it to be! Under the Customization menu, you can upgrade your plane with new fuselages, wings, tail wings, and weapons. To add to the fun, each component has a Primary and Secondary coloring as well. This allows you to color your plane however you want! Decal texturing on the wings and tail wings has been requested by users as well, but I have not decided whether or not to include that yet.
• Actual Gameplay - Plane physics will be greatly improved. I am hoping to bring some of the best aviation experiences to the players.
• Interface - The GUI used in the game is drastically different than what most of my games use. I wanted to bring a very smooth experience and easy navigation to the game menus.

Updates: Roblox Studio 2.0

"ROBLOX Studio 2013"

Lol, the time has come, it’s time for the… LOL STUDIO! I mean, Roblox does have a lot of LULZ, but… Lol, well I'm boring myself here so let’s get to it! Roblox Studio 2013 has lots of new tools and features! Roblox Studio has a built-in C-Frame (Known as the Collision tool), which basically enables you to move blocks inside each other. This is a tool that roblox game developers have been wanting for years. Before this new update, users had to use a plugin like Crazyman’s C-Frame Plugin for studio.

Now since this is no hat review, I have nothing to talk about in the second paragraph. I usually talk about the way the hat goes with outfits, but this time, I will talk about how Studio 2.0 looks. I would say it looks quite fancy. Very updated and modern looking compared to the old greyish one. This version uses lighter colors, and the borders almost look shaded. Look at the picture below and then remember what the old studio looked like. I think the look was a MAJOR improvement. A few other things I would like to note, are that the icons were updated, making it harder for people who truly build in Studio. Well if I were you, I’d be getting used to this stuff, because the old one is never coming back.

Thanks for reading another Epik Upda—Lol, Sorry I'm just kidding! We're not done yet, we have one more thing to talk about. Roblox is still working on this program, so there might be glitches and bugs. Roblox is missing a few things, and all will be added soon. There was a splash screen contest a while back. Soon a splash screen will be added. Thank you for reading another Epik Update.

Catalog Update

Hi ROBLOXians,

I'll be talking about the new update on the Catalog Page. Heres a picture of what mine looks like:

As you can see, you can simply insert a name into the text box and then, it'll show all models created by that player. Heres a picture of an example for me when I check the models made by "spookyBen" (Me).

I apologize for making the picture so big, but you can barely see it when its the default size. But anyways, as you can see, down in the bottom left corner I have spookyBen selected (In black) and it shows all the models made by spookyBen (Me).

~HOW TO USE~

Not know how to use it? Heres how! First, go on ROBLOX. Then, click "Catalog." Then click on "Models." Then, scroll down and you'll see something named "Creators." Type in a name there, and it'll show all models made by that player. And thats all you have to do!

I apologize if this was a late post, but I just now noticed it and there hasn't been a post about it yet.

Well, thats all for now! I'll keep you all updated.

Group Store Update

Hi ROBLOXians,

I'll be talking about the update to group stores. Heres a picture of what group stores should now appear as if the group/clan has group store items.

As you can see, the group store now appears in catalog form. It'll be much easier now too! You won't have to manually click "See more group items" to see more then 2. It'll be much easier now without having to go to See more group items after the 2 first items in the group store.

Unfortunately, you cannot buy items from that page. Hopefully ROBLOX will add that soon though, it could help a lot with making purchasing items being much more easier. You can still just click on the items name and buy it on the normal page though, but thats basically just going to the catalog and buying something. So, hopefully what I mentioned earlier will be added so this can be much easier.

~How To Use~

Okay, for people who may not know how to use the group store (to click on them), heres how [With this update]. Simply click the name (No, not the creator, but the name) and then it should take you to a page with ONLY that shirt and the comments part. Click "Buy Now" if you have enough. Well, thats how!

Well, thats all for now. I'll keep you all updated.

ROBLOX Mobile [iOS] Update

Hi ROBLOXians,

I'll be talking about the new update for iOS iPads.

iOS iPad users can now drive vehicles. Heres a picture of it that I got from the ROBLOX blog.

As you can see, you can now drive vehicles on iOS iPads. I'm just going to make a guess that little circle down near the starterpack you move to control the speed, either that or that gui on the very right. Those have something to do with it, but iOS Users, try out driving vehicles! iOS will have as much features as normal computers in time.



Next, lets talk about how iOS users can now chat. Heres a picture I got from the ROBLOX blog.

As you can see, you can now chat on your iOS iPad. It might take some time to type depending on how fast you can type, but at least you can type now! Also, you can use that "Microphone" button on the keyboard to make it faster. If you press that, whatever you say (Say it loudly) will be typed into the chat box. No, you cannot actually speak in the game. That will make it easier, but as you can see, it basically takes up your entire screen sadly. So I advise to chat only when your not fighting on the iOS iPad.

Have fun iOS Users! You can now type and drive vehicles on ROBLOX Mobile. Be sure to take advantage of this while you can! Trust me, it might be removed for bugs in the future or something, so use it while you can!

Well, thats all for now. I'll keep you all updated.

User Profile Updates

Hi ROBLOXians,

We have received 2 new updates on user profiles. One is with the groups part, the other is with Inventory.

Heres a picture of one of the updates [Groups]:

As you can see from this picture, ROBLOX has implemented Group Pages on User Profiles. The maximum groups that can fit on each page is 12 groups, so apparently, you have to be at least TBC to get group pages. BC have 10 groups, TBC have 30 groups, OBC have 100 groups. TBC could have about 2 pages at the maximum. OBC you'll have to figure out on your own. BC can't have any pages other then the standard view.

This update helps a lot, too. Let's say your viewing a profile with OBC and that user is in 100 groups and your trying to view his inventory. Your likely going to be scrolling for a few seconds at the group section if the user has 100 groups given Groups is above the inventory section. This update will prevent from you having to do that. It's great, right?

Okay, now lets talk about something else. Its called the Inventory Update, which is also on a User Profile. Heres a picture of it.

As you can see, it appears to have a new layout. Another part of it is the selected section is surrounded by a grey color, as you can see in the picture on the very left. The last time ROBLOX updated the inventory section was possibly over 2 years ago. They sure did ignore the inventory part till now, right? It appears to be more organized now somewhat. You shouldn't be able to confuse which section your on now given the grey outline around the selected section of it. [Hats, Gear, Faces, Packages, Shirts, Etc.] Other then that, theres not much to talk about when it comes to the inventory update. Not much was involved in this one sadly.

Well, thats all for now. Be sure to take advantage of those 2 updates while you can. I'll keep you all updated.

Messages Update

Hi ROBLOXians,

I'll be talking about the new update to the "Messages" section. Heres a small picture of what it should look like. Its cool, right?

As we can see, the update to the inbox is that you can now mark messages as "Read" or "Unread." This will surely help to keep your inbox much more organized, and easily mark spam mail unread in a easy click, without even having to click each one individually!

If you would like to know how to use this, heres how:

First, click on one of those little boxes, [Make it show a check mark] then, you can click "Mark As Read" or "Mark As Unread." If you Mark it as read, then the PM will no longer appear in a "bold" color. It will also no longer have a [1] in the Upper Message location that tells you how many PM's you have. If you don't know what I mean, heres a picture of it.



If you mark everything as Read, it will look like that.
If you mark everything as Unread, it will look like this.


That little spot that has a "1" will be the number of how many PM's you have, assuming you marked them all as "Unread."


Heres a post that the ROBLOX Moderator made about this update:

Gordonrox24 must like this update, as said in his post, it will be a big help in keeping his inbox organized. He probably gets lots of "spam mail" which is likely why it will be a big help.

Be sure to use this new feature well that ROBLOX has added! It can help well with spam mail and other messages to easily mark read, without even having to click each one to mark it as unread. It is so much easier now that ROBLOX has added this!

Well, thats all for now. I'll keep you all updated.

Forum update

 Hey ROBLOXians,

Today I am going to talk to you about the new forum update.

The Robloxian forum update was well organized, but a few things did bug Robloxians. Where the forums were place, how they organized it, and overall how they just don't like it.

The most popular forum on ROBLOX; the forum update changed everything! LMaD has lost about 25% of its normal posters just because "you have to scroll down"¹. Many of ROBLOXians used LMaD to get trades and make profit. This is also a place to tell people about your limited you might be selling, if it is a good deal, you might get many offers on it.But now, that's not what Robloxians think any more. A explain description of LMaD: 

"A fast paced community of wheelers and dealers. Post what you have to offer or see if anyone is willing to part with that special thing you really want." 

Forums all together have lost members for all types of reasons. 

Here are saying from Robloxians about this switch around update.

tatelikecake says, "Remove all subforums and merge it all into one big forum. So a thread stays on the front page for less than 3 seconds."

hello says, "I think it's a lot more organized and simple. The ATR community has adapted to becoming more mature and civil. All in all, I like it."

Thank you for reading this post, and have a wonderful day.

If you have a big enough screen, you don't need to scroll down. Silly LMaDers...
