yes i have tried polytoria, not for me

roblox sucks balls and i want to play something like old roblox, kinda like polytoria too but more like roblox, like that it has its own marketplace and stuff, not just the old roblox client. I want to be able to play with my windows friends btw, so either cross platform or in a web browser

    that it has its own marketplace

    What, so you want microtransactions? Unless you mean user-created games, in which case Luanti is pretty awesome for that. There are Minecraft-likes (e.g. Mineclonia), but there are other games that do their own thing: Asuna is more creative focused with mechanics inspired by Terraria, NodeCore is the opposite where it’s very technical, etc. They just share the same voxel core, but otherwise they are pretty different to each others. There are even some story driven games, arcade games, etc. that are kind of neat too. Luanti is cross-platform and you can easily setup multiplayer (which can be easy peer to peer LAN or a server)

      yea i know it sounds weird but i like it

      EDIT: i noticed that i worded this wrong. NO i don’t like spending real life money for virtual dough BUT something like roblox’s old tix/tickets or polytorias bricks which you earn for free is more what i want. I was mainly just talking about the marketplace itself but yea thank for under my stand

        It’s not a Minecraft clone, there are FPS games implemented with it, base-builders, etc. I didn’t look into it in detail, just thought that there is a chance it it could fit your needs.

        Happy hunting!

    The way you describe it, you don’t want a “game”, but rather VRChat or Second Life, but focused on games rather than socializing

    I feel like GMOD is as close to Roblox-like player games without it being Second Life or VRChat. At least in terms of social based games and just bizarre shit. I don’t think any UI or QOL stuff will be similar or familiar.
