Robloxian Terraria

A Roblox tycoon, dropped into a Terraria world. You play a blocky R6 Robloxian on a baseplate in the middle of a Terraria forest.

The loop

Start on your own tycoon plot. Walk up to the buy buttons and press E: buy a dropper, watch cash roll in on a Roblox-style leaderboard, then spend it on Terraria tools and weapons, more droppers, health, speed, an auto-turret — and an altar.

Then leave the plot: mine with your pickaxe, explore the caves, and take on a course of Roblox kill-bricks with jump pads. Finish the course and you summon a boss. The altar calls the Eye of Cthulhu; clearing the course brings the King Slime.

What's Roblox about it

• R6 avatars everywhere — the player, the town NPCs and the enemies are all blocky Robloxians with real Roblox faces.
• The Roblox feel — Roblox UI, a cash leaderboard, and the real "oof" when you get hit.
• Roblox hazards and game modes in the land — kill-brick obby courses and jump pads built into the Terraria terrain, plus the tycoon game mode itself.

What's Terraria about it

Terraria's own tiles, dirt and stone, trees, sky, underground and its bosses — read straight from your installed copy of the game. Terraria is the world; Roblox moves in.

Playing

Solo. A and D to move, Space to jump, J or click to swing your weapon.

Under the hood

A standalone program (this is a rewrite-style mashup, not a plugin). It reads art from your Terraria and your Roblox player — it ships none of their assets. The XNA and DirectX runtime it needs is bundled, so there is nothing extra to install.
