Summary

One tenaciousRobloxplayer with some serious design skills managed to build an incredible luxury yacht in the popular sandbox game. Not only is their achievement yet another example of impressive engineering feats thatRobloxcreatorshave been authoring for nearly two decades at this point, but it also does a great job at underlining the modern capabilities of the game’s proprietary engine.

Originally released in 2006,Robloxcontinues to entertain tens of millions of players to this date. According to the Roblox Corporation’s latest financial report, its hit sandbox experience had over 214 million users as of early 2023. WhileRobloxisn’t lacking in great building games, some of its players still prefer to spend their time constructing stuff with its creator tools just for the fun of it.

That group also includes Reddit user CreatorPlanet13, who recently went through the effort of modeling the interior of a luxury yacht with some rather astonishing results. Their awe-inspiringRobloxcreation features many amenities found on a typical high-end cruiser, including a spacious bar and some cozy-looking passenger cabins. Its list of facilities is helmed by a massive interior pool overlooked by a skylight, which also happens to connect to an extravagant locker room made almost entirely out of marble.

This newly emergedtake on aRobloxboatalso boasts a sleek-looking captain’s deck and several sets of stairwells connecting its three vast decks. Large vending machines and leather benches are scattered throughout its many corridors, while the boat’s floors feature wooden flooring that is occasionally interrupted by some minimalist gray carpeting. CreatorPlanet13 revealed that they haven’t yet designed the yacht’s exterior, adding that they’re also uncertain whether their creation will ever be paired with an actual game. Nevertheless, many players took online to praise their accomplishment, positing that the end result of their design efforts doesn’t even look likeRoblox.

That sentiment largely stems from the fact that the vast majority ofRobloxgames are made with assets that are either low-poly, free to (re)use, or both. Given that state of affairs,Robloxis widely associated with a fairly low-fidelity visual style, even though its engine is capable of rendering much more impressive creations, as clearly underlined by this luxurious yacht interior.

Designing graphically intensiveRobloxenvironments requires sacrificing performance on mobile devices, which accounted for nearly 80% of the game’s active player base as of late 2022, according to the official figures from the Roblox Corporation. And while not many players can experience the game on a gaming PC, its developers might soon offer a comparably powerful alternative, as suggested by some recentindications thatRobloxcould finally be coming to PlayStation.

Robloxis available on PC, Mobile, and Xbox One.
