HatHelper - Interview

Yes, we've got a really famous one here. He made the game 'The Conquerors'. I can't wait!

[Q] You have made several popular games such as The Conquerors, and Try Any Item with Factories! In your own opinion, what game of yours was the most challenging/fun to make?

[A] The most challenging was probably the Conquerors. I put the most time and effort into that one, and I rescripted the entire game once(planning on remaking the game a third time before '13)

[Q] Many people have based their games off of your famous Try Any Item with Factories! As it was the first of its kind. Did anything inspire you to create such a original game? Or did it just come to you?

[A] I've only seen one semi-popular item factory game. The rest have been in GUI form, or try/ scripts. Long ago, when I was a very newbie scripter, I figured out that I could insert a wearable hat into the game with a codepad. So I scripted that, and I put it around a box and with a conveyor belt below it. From there I added to it and made other factories. The current Try Any Item is a remake of the original factories.


[Q] When did you notice that your games started becoming more and more popular, and at what period of time did this happen?

[A] My first front page game was probably ROBLOX Space Rock Miners. If I'm not mistaken, then that game got on front page by accident. I was banned for several days, possibly two weeks, and the game got random visitors, and they never left, so it got to the top of the front page by itself. From them on I wanted to have a game that would always be popular like some other people had, so I experimented with another infinite dig game, an rc city, blow stuff up for fun, and finally an rts game which stuck to visitors.

[Q] In your blurb, you explain how you became a scripter. Did anything specific help you on your way to becoming the scripter you are today?

[A] Script builders inspired me to make cool things, usually just for myself, and out of GUIs, to use in SBs. I'd ask Scripting Helpers what something was, or why something didn't work, and they'd show me what the problem was, and I'd sometimes use free models to find out how others did things.

[Q] Are there currently any goals that you wish to accomplish? If so, what are they?

[A] I want to have one of my games favorited by ROBLOX, or be awarded something for it. So far I've had roblox review the game on YT, Reesemcblox, BrightEyes, Telamon, jahrblox, and Sorcus visit it, with jahrblox favoring it, and Telamon posting a comment on the BC version.

[Q] To wrap this all up, do you have anything to say to the readers?
