Personally, I’ve already attempted this two different times with my old, cancelled project and a new one—which actually was a continuation of the old project’s previous ideas. And the whole idea is circulating around, “What if, Roblox took a new path in education and technology advancement—rather than its traditional entertainment approach and the world mistook them for it?”

Radically, this shifted a lot of paradigm in the known modern history: Jon Favreau becoming an animator, directing for a Roblox‘s Egg Hunt film—kickstarting a modern cinematic universe. Tyler, The Creator joining Roblox’s educational program and starting his gaming career independently rather than joining the now-disbanded rap collective, Odd Future.

All this culminating into an event, the ”Bloxiemania”. A worldwide phenomenon rivaling the awe-stricken phase felt in the 1960s, where The Beatles arrived in America and were surrounded by the unkempt fan-girls—happened now but applied to the Roblox fan base. Which concerns our old pal David Baszucki greatly.

The series, as the way it was planned, and written, presents itself likened to the renowned analog horror webseries and graphic novel, The Monument Mythos and Watchmen. Where details are kept implicit and unreliable in video’s descriptions/back-matter excerpts and in-universe “artifacts”—which all tell an interconnected narrative non-linearly.

YES! Yes, you’ve read that right. I’m making an alternate history Webseries — inspired by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’ Watchmen — about Roblox. Basically, as I said it, it‘s about Roblox itself rather than spending time usually telling stories within the platform (because I’m terribly horrendous at animating and game development lmao). The core philosophy of the series is, as said, “what if Roblox never took its traditional path in the entertainment industry, and people mistook them as pure entertainment for it?”

Which all this, resulting in a massive radical historic shifts: Jon Favreau becoming the director for the ”Egg Hunt“ movie, kickstarting a Roblox Cinematic Universe. Tyler, The Creator joining Roblox‘s educational program, instead of making edgy horror-core rap in his late-teenhood, and Roblox winning a Nobel Science Prize for its progressive technology advancement in 2022.

While this premise sounds crazy, the series presented itself in a similar style to Eve Casanas’s The Monument Mythos where the story often told itself from an in-universe video/artifact or description. Also, I’m not advertising when I finish with the series/episodes.

what do you think?
