Among the first games playable on Xbox on day one is Heroes!, a top-down dungeon-crawler with Ys-style just-run-into-your-enemies combat made by a 19-year-old Indiana teenager who’s using in-game microtransaction revenue to help pay his way through college.

“You don't have to worry about networking, you don't have to worry about multiplayer.' While I didn’t see the actual editing tools themselves – those need a keyboard and mouse, so the mobile and Xbox One versions of Roblox only support the actual playing of the user-created games – it all seems very similar to the XNA toolset released by Microsoft back on Xbox 360. More UGC from the Roblox community.“We scale the platform with the talent of the developer,” Silvestrini explains, adding that their proprietary set of tools take care of a lot of basic functions. Besides, that doesn’t mean they’re not fun. It can, however, give you fundamental, building block-level experience with creating what you need to make a game: an idea, a level(s), rules, etc. Roblox isn’t equipped to let you design your own Mass Effect. All of them are rather simplistic, both visually and mechanically, but that’s the point. Twenty Roblox-curated games will be available on the Xbox One app on launch day. All the games will be free for anyone to play, with Roblox sustaining itself by selling augments to its existing community-shared asset packs and creators able to make money by incorporating in-game microtransactions (of which Roblox, like iTunes or any other service, takes a small cut). Just one user-made Roblox game.That platform boasts 15 million monthly visitors, and Rick and his Roblox team stopped by IGN to show me the Xbox One app, which launches on December 3.

'We have created the only platform in the world where you can build a game once and have it deploy across PC, Mac, iOS, Android, and now Xbox.' “We believe we’re the best place in the world to build and develop your first game,” says Roblox Chief Marketing Officer Rick Silvestrini.
