Roblox Studio
Roblox is a game creation platform which allows players to create their own games using its proprietary engine, Roblox Studio. Games are coded under a object oriented programming system utilizing the programming language Lua to manipulate the environment of the game. Users are able to create game passes, which are purchasable content through one-time purchases, as well as microtransactions through developer products. Developers on the site exchange Robux earned from various products on their games into real world currency through the Developer Exchange system.A percentage of the revenue from purchases is split between the developer and Roblox.Roblox Studio supports importing meshes, shadow mapping,parallax mapping, and screen post-processing effects.
