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.

Limited Review - Black Sun's Zenith


Texture 7/10

This texture is okay, not the best I've seen, but it's pretty good. This deserves a 7.

Looks 6/10

It looks pretty good, it's shiny and has nice pop to it. The glasses are weird, but okay. I belive this deserves a 6.

Effort 4/10

I'm not sure they put much effort in this hat, and seems quite simple. It only gets a 4.

Profit/Price 3/10

The price was 2,000 Robux, and is only selling for 2,500 as of now. I think this was a another failed Limited. It gets a 3.

Overall 5/10

Well the texture is okay, and it looks okay. The price was to expensive, and it was another failed hat. I think overall it should get a 5.

Orion's Guard Review

Hi ROBLOXians,

I'll be reviewing the new hat named "Orion's Guard." Heres a picture of it.


~Texture~
This texture is pretty neat. It isn't too shiny which is somewhat "okay" for a guard helmet.
~Looks~

It looks pretty good, if you look below the top part, you see a little white area. It looks like the hat named "Secret Agent Shades" at that spot. The helmet looks like something you would see in a game like "Halo," but I may be wrong. On the left and right of the helmet, it looks like theres a little path there that would be used to get to the top of the helmet, even though its a helmet and not a map, but it still does.

~Effort~

It looks like they did put effort into this hat. ROBLOX only sometimes puts effort into hats, and this is one of them. There doesn't seem to be anything on it that makes it seem junky so that proves they put effort into it.
~Overall~

Its texture, looks, and effort is good so I give this hat a 9.5/10. Its price is 100 R$ which is a good price for this hat. Take advantage of the good prices for good hats while you can, they may become a limited or go off sale in the future without warning.
Well, thats all for now. I'll keep you all updated.

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.

Peach Thug Shades Review

Hi ROBLOXians,

I'll be talking about the new hat named "Peach Thug Shades." Heres a picture of it.


~Texture~

Its texture is pretty good. Its shiny, which is kind of like a Future Shades somewhat, or whichever. But here, I'm talking about texture, not looks, so actually I'll talk about that in the next paragraph. But anyways, it has good texture.


~Looks~

It looks pretty good, and like what I was talking about in the "Texture" paragraph, it looks like a Future Peach Thug with the shiny part in front of the glasses. It would look realistic if it had that middle part of the glasses, but it isn't the goal to make it look like real life glasses, that would sorta ruin the look. But anyways, it looks pretty good.
~Effort~

It looks like it was in the 50/50 area, meaning, they used some effort while not using much effort. Confusing, right? They used effort probably with the shiny area of it and I am unsure if they put much effort into what attaches it to they're head (They might of) but the part that I personally don't like is that in the middle area, theres a little white piece sticking out underneath but I guess thats fine because it does look good, and it used somewhat good effort.
~Overall~

Overall, I give this hat a 9.5/10. Its a pretty good hat, but unfortunately, its price is 50,000 R$. Better hope you got a good amount of R$ if you want this. Personally I think the price is somewhat too high for something like this, the price I would of given it would be about 5,000 R$ - 15,000 R$. But its up to you if you want to buy it or not. Its texture is good, it looks pretty good, looks like ROBLOX put somewhat good effort into it (Maybe).
Well, thats all for now. I'll keep you all updated.

RO-Planes 2 Review - ROBLOX Game Review

Hello, Mikoto192 here. I'm reviewing Ro-Planes by Cole7778, today. I hope you will take the time to play this game when you finish reading this article.

SCRIPTING - 10/10

The scripting in this specific game is outstanding in my point of view. The planes are nicely scripted and mix correctly with the controls. I love the scripting in this game. I had a fun time testing out the planes and controls. There is no problem with the scripting because it is perfectly written. In this category, Cole7778 is presented with a ten out of ten stars for his dedication in the scripting process. Great job, Cole!

GAMEPLAY - 9.5/10

The gameplay for this game is good, as well. This place is not laggy, unless you have a slow computer. The planes have a good rate of speed and they go at a good pace. The planes and vehicles, such as the fork lift, go smoothly. Although, the forklift is slower than walking, it still goes smooth. Due to the lack of lag problems and good vehicle speed rate, this category gets a 9.5 out of 10 stars. This game has great
gameplay.

EFFORT - 10/10

Effort for this game if really good. Cole has done a really good job and put a ton of effort into RO-Planes 2.   His effort makes this game even more enjoyable. He took the time to script and mix the controls of the throttle with the plane. I honestly think Cole deserves the score he got. In this category, this user is given the score of ten out of ten for amazing effort into this game. We wonder why this game is such a fan favorite.

OVERALL - 9.5/10

Overall, this game gets a total nine and a half out of ten stars. Cole did an amazing job in the making of this game and we all happen to love it dearly. This game is an amazing plane game for people who like vehicles or just like to fly around in planes, well... Randomly. I would recommend this to ROBLOXians looking for a game out of boredom or for plane lovers. Well that's it for now. Keep up the good work, Cole, and I will see you all in my next review. Have a great day!
