Roblox has stopped live updates – nightmare for users as game suffers severe outages and avatars go “bald”.

Who Invented Roblox?

Roblox is the brainchild of Canadian David Baszucki, who has been involved in programming teaching physics and mechanical simulation software since 1989.

In 2004, along with co-founder Erik Cassel, he created the beta version of Roblox under the name DynaBlocks.

Baszucki – also known by his Roblox username Builderman – started testing the first demos that year and eventually rebranded the game a year later to match the company’s branding.

The game was officially launched in 2006.

In a 2016 interview with Forbes, Baszucki said the idea for Roblox was inspired by the success of his Interactive Physics and Working Model software applications and their popularity with young students.

Baszucki also owns a roughly 13 percent stake in Roblox Corporation.
