What I find annoying is how unreliable Roblox DevEx is, been trying to devex 4.5k USD worth of robux for the last 5 weeks to no success. I can't imagine trying to live off DevEx for rent and/or food.

After some heavy thought, I've decided that I really want to push the limits of VR in Roblox. Not just for Roblox, but as VR as a hole by bringing Aincrad Online to VR. A MMORPG for VR has yet to be done on Roblox, and I think it'll be a very interesting undertaking.

I just received the unfortunate news that the former Lead 3d Artist for DreadWater Interactive is stepping down from his position. He did a lot of the 3d work for Archemore, and its really saddening to see him go. On a less depressing note, I am now looking for a new 3d Artist.
