Oh two things I forgot to comment on in my last comment, My Apologies.

its a fun build-your-own-level MMORPG.

Personally I disagree with this as Roblox Studio is a fully fleged development envirement complete with a high level IDE and fast and widely used programming language for game development. And state of the art services such as ServerScriptService and ReplicatedStorage.

That said it also allows complete beginers to jump right in and start building their game.

minecraft-like graphics.

They do allow for Meshs but I think the limited amount of triangles allowed is absurd, restrictig developers and leads many developers to focus on making low poly games.

Thanks Theo, this changed my perspective a little. Because of this post my interest level has peaked and I am definitely going to try to make a game, study the ecosystem, and learn lua.
