DrewsomeB created the 3rd most popular place EVER on ROBLOX, it's called "Heli-Wars: Desert Attack" and it has 8.9 MILLION place visits!

1. Q: Have you ever been interviewed before?
A: Yes, about a year ago was my last interview.

2. Q: When did you join ROBLOX?
A: I joined Roblox on January 13, 2008.

3. Q: How do you get the ideas for your places?
A: My place ideas came from pure imagination. I have always been a fan of the military and science fiction so I drew my inspiration from those topics.

4. Q: What is your favorite place on ROBLOX? (besides yours)
A: As of yet, my favorite place is Wingman8′s Galleons.

5. Q: What do you normally do with your Robux and Tix?
A: Lately I havent done much, but sometimes I buy a hat or shirt if it catches my attention. I also donate to other players.

6. Q: How many Robux/Tix do you have right now?
A: I prefer to keep that private. Lets just say I have a lot.

7. Q: If you were an administrator, what kind of hat would you make?
A: I would create an enhanced golden crown that looks more attractive. Perhaps something with dark blue or emerald green accents.

8. Q: What is your favorite hat?
A: My favorite hat, even though I dont always wear it, is the Void Star.

9. Q: Do you play any games other than ROBLOX? If so, what?
A: Right now I dont play any other games.

10. Q: Do you play your own ROBLOX games often?
A: I usually play Heli-Wars as a guest or an alias character so I can enjoy private gaming. I sometimes play as DrewsomeB so I can get opinions from other players regarding the game.

11. Q: How do you get your places on the first page?
A: Since Heli-Wars first made it to the first page in 2008 before ads, it happened because people simply continued to flock to the game.

12. Q: What’s your favorite thing to do on ROBLOX?
A: I normally do clan matters. I am the former leader of The Elite Wing, yet I still participate when I find time. I also build stuff offline in Roblox Studio.

13. Q: How did you get the idea for “Heli Wars”?
A: Heli-Wars came by imagination. I always wanted to make a helicopter battle desert-themed game. It was mostly inspired by the game “Empire Earth” since I often used helicopters to fight in desert environments.

14. Q: Who is your favorite ROBLOXian?
A: Cant say that I have a favorite, but I have a few close friends I keep in touch with.

15. Q: Are there any new game ideas that you want to tell our readers about?
A: Not right now, but if anything happens, you’ll be sure to see it on my game page. I am thinking of making new space games however.

16. Q: Is there anything you want to tell aspiring ROBLOX builders?
A: Be creative, be yourself. Dont do things just to impress people. Even if it doesn’t make you famous, there is nothing like the sense of accomplishment from hard work on a place or model. Never give up, no matter how long or difficult it is.

=The What’s New In ROBLOX Crew=

Appearance: 6
This gear is one of those gear that they add sparks and fire too. Most of the time it just floods out the dagger itself. The gear also just flames all over the place in game.

Price: 4
I believe that 2500 ROBUX for a gear like this is purely outrageous. This gear is very overpriced and took nearly 2 hours to sell out. This is a large waste of money.

Quantity: 7
The quantity on this item is not very bad. There are only 500 which keep this gear pretty rare. This may be the first item with a good quantity for a few months.

Overall: 5.6
Overall this gear is not very good. It is very overpriced and does not look very good. I recommend that you do not buy this gear unless you are attracted to it’s appearance.

Construction-9.1
Very good C-Framing and a lot of detail with those little bricks in the game make it so realistic. A lot of the maps were made by fans of Daxter33, and he only picks the best for his game. There are a lot of hiding/camping spots throughout the game. There are certain advantages for both teams, you just have to find them.

Scripting-8.7
The scripting is very well done, too. The game randomly picks maps, the teams, the game type, and it looks like it’s being typed right there on your screen. Whenever you kill someone, you get a hundred points. A certain number of points lets you rank up to unlock more paintball guns. The guns are very well scripted with some realistic movement equipped with the gun, and shows the arm throwing the grenade when you press the “F” key.

Gameplay-9.6
A lot of action goes on in this game, whether you’re lying down and camping, or you’re escaping a mob of people playing the round, “Elimination”. Once again, the game randomly chooses teams, so you you never know who you’re up against. Yoou can unlock more guns, level up, BLOW people up, snipe people out of the blue, and capture flags in the “Controller” round, when you’re team must have the most flags captured after five minutes. The team that wins always gets an extra 250 points. There are a few rounds that you’d like to know about:

Team Swap, where when you kill someone, they join your team, kind of like zombie tag, but, with, paintballs…

Elimination: This one’s the only exception. If you get a kill, there’s an extra 500 points for you and the person you kill is out of the game until the round is over.

Controller: Capture the most flags at the end of 5 minutes and you win this game.

Deathmatch: Either the first team to get 30 kills wins, or the team with the most kills at the end of five minutes wins.

Controls:

Q: Aim down sights
F: Grenade
X: Toggle Prone
C: Toggle Crouch

Very good gameplay. Very action-packed.

Overall-9.3
If you’re looking for a place with great scripting, good guns, great building, and action-packed playing, this is the game for you.

Entrepreneur Tycoon has had unreal success in the past few days

Construction – 7
It’s a little laggy when you first enter the place and it took a minute or two for my computer to speed up. I also saw a few free models, like the police station, but I’m just going to assume that he built the rest of it himself because it’s not that very well built anyways.

Scripting – 8
This game runs with many very simple regen scripts and buttons that give you cash, nothing really more. It’s a clever spin on the regular tycoon game by forcing you to “work”, or step on buttons, for you money.

Gameplay – 7
This game is pretty boring but somehow addicting, I found myself playing this game for a surprisingly long time. I’m even playing it right now, waiting for cash buttons to come up while I write this post.

Overall – 7.3
This game is pretty good but it definitely doesn’t deserve the sharp rise in popularity that it’s gained over the past few days. I was thinking of putting a special “Grammar” category just for this place because there are so many spelling errors I couldn’t count them all. In that aspect, this game was made by an 8 year-old.

Raft Survival: Volcano has gotten a full 100,000 visits more than the 2nd most popular game in the past week with a whopping 293,000 visits.

 Construction – 5
This game’s building is just average because it’s just a couple ramps and rocks. The rocks that are simply squares and simplistic angled bricks form paths.

Scripting – 3
Since this is a simple build to survive game with a semi-clever twist, the only scripts that actually exist are a script that makes your limbs disappear when you touch the brick and a script that makes your boat “burn” when you touch the brick. Both could’ve been easily found on free models, not that they were actually found there. I just wouldn’t doubt it.

Gameplay – 6
Easily the best part of this game, but still not great, because of its semi-clever twist on your run of the mill “Build to Survive” game. This game is pretty challenging because a simple touch of a brick will burn half of your boat. The fact that you can’t actually control your boat is also pretty annoying as you just run through the same monotonous path every time you start again.

Overall – 4.7
In short, I really don’t think that this game deserves the incredible popularity that it has. It is really just an average game in almost every aspect. The few scripts that it has are incredibly simple and so is the building. Play it if you want a little above average gameplay.
