JauntyApeGames (real name Robert Hashman) is a former Senior 3D Artist for Roblox. He has produced over 1,500 assets for the marketplace since 2012, with his first released item being Burger Bob.[1] The final item he created for Roblox was the Crown of Knowledge.[2] Despite his contracted work since 2012, he did not create a Roblox account until August 2019.
He left Roblox in March 2020 after the rise of the dissolution of the avatar shop team since the release of the user-created accessory feature. After working at Roblox, Hashman worked as the first Senior 3D Artist for the social networking app Zepeto from May 1, 2020, to May 22, 2020.[3]
Personal life[]
Hashman began 3D modeling in 2005, seven years before he started working at Roblox. Some of his first creations include a scary clown mask, a robot, an ice cream sundae and a locomotive.[4] He used to draw using pencil and ink pens.[5]
He has two pet cats, each named Zeus and Healy.[6] Besides 3D modeling, Hashman enjoys playing old video games, collecting toys and reading comic books. Additionally, he likes to design game prototypes, and has designed his own board game named Chaos Keep.[7]
UGC program[]
After leaving Zepeto, Hashman created item concepts in an attempt to enter the UGC program. On June 19, 2020, he suspended his UGC campaign, stating he would continue sharing UGC ideas but would no longer seek to bring his items to the avatar shop.[8]
He has seen some of his concepts published in the avatar shop through collaborations with approved UGC creators. He has worked with zen_it for the Mega Alien Head,[9] U.F.O. Hat,[10] and the Classic Ray Gun Mark II,[11] and SimplyALemon for the Black Witch Hat.[12]
On September 25, 2020, he opened 3D art commissions, with prices ranging from $100 to $400 per asset.[13]
On June 29, 2021, he stated on Twitter that he plans to restart his UGC campaign in July.[14]
Twitter account[]
On July 16, 2020, Hashman deactivated his Twitter account after reaching 5,000 followers. Three days later, he reactivated his Twitter account after developers convinced him on Discord to return to the site.
On August 14, 2020, he announced he would be "going incognito soon," saying he would take his business elsewhere and use his Twitter account solely to support Roblox developers.[15]
On April 9, 2021, he deactivated his Twitter account again, this time saying he would deactivate the account "indefinitely." On June 22, 2021, he reactivated his account under a new handle, @JauntyApeGames.
