ROBLOX Tech Demo: Video Thumbnails



    If you have not heard already, ROBLOX staff did a hack week, which basically means make a lot of ideas realistic, over winter holidays developing new ideas for the game. One of these ideas is "Video Thumbnails". The idea of video thumbnails would be to post 30 second clips to your games for a small sum of ROBUX, this price is not yet to be determined. This way you could have previews, almost like trailers to your games. These clips would be uploaded to ROBLOX or taken from YouTube and would have to be moderated just like images. However, there are some downfalls to this idea by Tim Brown yet the cons aren't as bad as you think. For example, the video clip could host inaccurate information about the places or the video could attack other groups. This could include "Don't join so-and-so group because of inactivity and no care of their members" or "THIS IS ONE EPIC TYCOON" and turns out to be a obby. On the bright side, I believe this could strike up more business for ROBLOXian video makers because people could pay them ROBUX to make these 30 second clips for their places.

Some Comments from the post include:

"I think it’s a great idea! I think it will set other people’s places (and my own :P) to the next level! I cannot wait until people can get a sneak-peek on my new game: Ages of Roblox."

"Who else sees some clan propaganda coming out of his?"
-SecretAgentWolf

"This is a great idea!!!!!! Can’t wait until it’s there!!! It gives The visitor a Sneak Peak!! :D"
-Kirby4759

It seems like there are some mixed emotion from this idea, but I think it will turn out nice!
