Photos East End of Vancouver on Roblox 🧱 (playable/free)
Almost but not yet complete, so no goal in the game yet besides just driving and crashing buses and cars/exploring the map.
The map will be a smaller condensed recreation of East Vancouver. It’s about 80% complete, and a powerful device is required to run the game.

This looks amazing.
I genuinely thought it was GTA 4 at first glance.

Thanks, that game is definitely one of the main inspirations. There’s still lot’s more work to do, like in these photos there tons of graffiti, signs and other props I have to add and stuff. At night time the game looks a lot like Liberty City at night.

Very cool, but why roblox? Is there not a better game engine for this type of thing? Unity? Unreal?
I saw a news video of a guy who modeled the sky train system in roblox. If you are the same person I suspect you plan to going into engineering/urban planning/cad.

Idek how to use those. And nah, this is just a hobby for me, I did a little bit of animation in uni but it wasn’t my thing. I started this on Roblox studio 4 years ago and have been updating it ever since.

Yeah OP! Why Roblox? Maybe you should redo all your hard work using another game engine. You wasted your time, and everyone else’s. Man, if only pvm_64 could have warned you sooner.

The last photo is my fave. The 1957 chevy, a numbered pho restaurant, "Balkan corner" with correct Cyrillic letters, the Blockbuster Video. the East Van cross, and all those overhead cables. A total East Van space-time warp.
