Community:Nfsboy/DriveBlox Unlimited

DriveBlox Unlimited is a game built and developed by. It is a complex role-playing and driving game with edited free models of vehicles, mansions, houses, and apartments that players can purchase with earned credits.

Gameplay
Players start with 0 'Money' and then buy a free starter car. They have 3 cars to pick from, the Nissan 240SX, the Alfa Romeo Brera and the Chevrolet Chevelle. There is also another starter car, the Chevrolet Chevelle VIP edition, however, this car is no longer purchasable as VIP for Driveblox has long been discontinued. Every few studs that players travel in the car, the said player will earn more credits; this allows the player to purchase faster and better cars. Each car has different characteristics including speed, color, and appearance. There is a single auto store in which the car owner can buy new colors of paint for their car or tire hubcaps. There is also a stat called 'Distance' that measures how much you have driven around the city.

Houses and Apartments
If players can accumulate enough credits you can purchase a house or apartment that can earn users money every minute. This way the user can earn money for driving and for owning a house thus increasing the rate in which you can buy better things such as a mansion or a McLaren F1, the most expensive non VIP car. There is a mailbox in front of every house in which the user can collect the money accumulated during the time the user is away. The mansions earn the most credits per second followed by the houses and then the apartments. The amount of money gained per minute is as follows; apartments gain 960 dollars, houses gain 3600 dollars and mansions gain 10400 dollars.

Cars
The cars are divided into different categories (e.g. Used) by country and class. Each class has a certain amount of cars (e.g. Class E: 4 Cars) that are available to users. The faster the car the more credits you earn per stud traveled, thus making a faster car worth more credits. When you get better cars, your driver class will increase. Driver classes ranges from E, D, C, B and A. Driver classes used to save at the cap of driver class B and give you a cash bonus based on your driver class upon rejoining. D would give 600, C would give 16200 and B would give 137000. Driver class A used to save and give 500000 but it was removed for being too over powered.

Removal of Experimental Mode
Ever since experimental mode was removed, cars will drift around and seem as if they have no friction on the ground. Higher speed cars will basically be uncontrollable. The game, however, is still somewhat playable. That is, until you start to buy the higher speed cars which is impossible to steer when accelerating. The high speed cars will also shake uncontrollably when accelerating. Driver class and Distance no longer saves too.

Remakes
Since DriveBlox Unlimited broke down by Roblox updates, some users have tried to recreate the game in hopes of making it playable again. The following is a list of people that have created functioning DriveBlox Unlimited remakes;


 * 4thg4 and Lamborghini050: It follows the original concept of DBU (e.g Buying cars and houses) but they added 2 new dealerships, the 2nd Used Car Dealership and the Special Dealership and they fixed the cars' ability to drive properly. They have a t-shirt for VIP that costs 50 Robux. This is what differentiates their remake from lucianph0enix's. This remake called DriveBlox Beyond Unlimited can be played here. Driver class and distance do save in this remake.
 * DB:BU has an official wiki which you can find here.


 * lucianph0enix: It follows the original concept of DBU and it is also inspired from Version 1.2.7 of DriveBlox. But the only thing that he did is change the VehicleSeat's torque, the wheels' CustomPhysicalProperties, and made the VIP free. The game can be found here. There is also a classic version of the remastered DriveBlox which can be played here. It is to be noted that progress does not save yet. So he is trying to find a good scripter who can code for saving stats.

Trivia

 * The starter cars are the worst cars in the game, however, 3 starter cars, the Nissan 240SX, the Alfa Romeo Brera and the Chevrolet Chevelle VIP Edition have additional attributes such as N20 and extra cash flow.


 * The game had been stolen multiple times by various users, who leaked the whole game onto the toolbox for anyone to take. Many users would create copies of the game and claim that they had made the game, as well as using a bait-and switch-type name and thumbnail in order to gain visits. Due to this, nfsboy stopped updating the game regularly and quit Roblox.


 * There is another version of DriveBlox Unlimited, called DriveBlox Unlimited Classic which features the map from the Beta version of DriveBlox Unlimited. This can be found here.
 * The main article for DriveBlox Unlimited Classic can be found here.


 * There are 3 secret rooms known in DriveBlox Unlimited.
 * The first is inside the Japanese Sports dealership. In the northwest corner of the room there is a lounge and above that lounge is a room that contains a car that isn't shown anywhere else in the game, the Nissan 2000GT. You can see this room as it has windows that show the car inside. It is currently inaccessible by normal means and can only be accessed by Exploiting.
 * You can actually view the Nissan 2000GT in nfsboy's model creations.
 * The second is in the top floor of the police station which contains a room that has buttons to either let people see through the windows by making it clear or close it by making the windows black. Normally the windows are black from the outside and clear from the inside. You can see into the room by standing on the fence north of the window and zooming out into the room. It is currently inaccessible by normal means and can only be accessed by Exploiting.
 * The third is also at the police station. When you go behind the police station, go to the right side and use shift-lock you can see a hidden garage with 2 buttons to open and close the garage.
