Interview with SONICFAN0405
INTERVIEW WITH SONICFAN0405
INTERVIEWER - JUANSE71
Q. How did you come up with finding bigfoot?
A. I saw a show while flipping through channels that was actually called, 'Finding Bigfoot," when I thought of the name. The game its self is in no way related to the show. In the game you go through a series of towns and caves that lead you into finding Bigfoot in the game. I never really watched the show, but what I do know is that they investigate a certain area for signs of the creature. So you can say the game and the show both search for answers, but the game play its self is completely different.
Q. Did you script the whole game?
A. I believe there are 2-3 scripts in the game that I made myself. Most of the other scripts were basic scripts that I modified to fit the game. For instance, in the game a wall opens up near midnight. To do this I found a day/night script and a door script. I modified the door to open at a certain time that appeared in the day/night script. I basically did this for every aspect in the game that I wanted to be scripted.
Q. Did you ever thought the game will gain fame?
A. Well, sort of. While building the game users would visit even though they knew it wasn't done. This had me thinking that if the game was done that it would attract more users. In the end, it did.
Though this isn't the first time I have gained fame. Back in 2009-2010 I had 2 places on the first page, and another nearing the second. They were not all popular at the same time, but it was very interesting to have my games up there. I think that maybe users could have remembered me from that time to see what I had built, but the more likely reason is just that they really like the Finding Bigfoot game.
Q. From a scale of 1 - 10, How would you rate your building skills?
A. Maybe around a 7-8 range.
Q. Did you ever meet someone that inspired you? If so, Who?
A. I have two answers to this question. If you're asking for an inspiration outside of roblox I would have to say my dad. He's actually been encouraging me to maybe work at Roblox someday. He says it's a really neat site that he wished had been around when he was a kid. Back in 2009-2010 when my places were on the front page we would create advertisements together to keep people coming back. It was a really fun time.
If you're asking for an inspiration from a roblox user, I would have to say 9voltl. He's one of my best friends in real life and got me on the website in the first place. We would hang out at each other's houses and just play roblox all day. Mostly war games like Heli-Wars, or Ultimate Paintball. Since then he has quit the site but I still remember the times we played together.
Q. Have you ever thought of quitting ROBLOX?
A. I've never really though of actually quitting this site. I may take a break from it time to time but I always come back. I used to forum a lot on this site and when I come back from my break I normally go back to that. Now that I have a game that users tend to like I have something else to come back to. So no, I haven't thought of quitting the site.
Q. Are you an veteran? (Old ROBLOXIAN)
A. Yeah, I've been here for a while.
Q. When did you join ROBLOX?
A. In the beginning of December, 2008.
