Edit 08/13: Didn't mention here, the mouse cursor and SpawnLocation textures were all made with a program called Paint Shop Pro. This same program is responsible for the 'creation time' timestamps within certain the files of certain textures. Since this video is getting a lot of attention again, let me clarify a few things. I should have clarified initially which assets were under creative commons licensing, but it's clear the developers at the time didn't care if they were free-to-grab or not. It's obvious they were grabbing what came up first on Google search results, i.e. them using the logos for entire companies as icons for in-game items. Sometimes, free sounds they took were stolen from other places themselves, such as the Oof sound and the bass sound, which was originally from Zero-G's Datafile 3, before being repackaged into a free sound collection on the A1 Free Sound Effects website in the early 2000s. Because of instances like this, I very highly doubt they paid for anything they used, *especially* with textures. As well: The Silk icons used in Roblox Studio from early 2007 to 2022 *were initially* used with credit. However, the credit was completely removed from Studio, a few years later. Before that, in 2006, Roblox Studio used default Windows 95 icons. And yes, this video came out before more things were discovered about the Oof sound by other creators. While the Oof sound was credited to simply "Tommy Tallarico Studios", with Tommy Tallarico taking credit for the sound himself, it's now known that someone else at the studio (Joey Kuras) was responsible. You should watch Homberman's video about it if you have two hours to spare. Thanks ^_^ ~Maple
I honestly don’t blame them, they didn’t know how far roblox would go, so they just stole stuff. I know it’s illegal but it could be seen from the other point as well.
The only reason Roblox used to be so careless about reusing assets is probably because yes they created the game hoping for a playerbase but they never expected it to grow so exponentially. So by the time it already had, the stuff they stole became most integral to their game than it ever was even towards the source material they were “borrowing” from.
That's not even true considering they had hundreds of thousands of players and still ignored the stolen assets. It's not like Roblox was totally unknown in 2008 (there were over 1 million players), it had more players than most online games ever had. See here: 8:38 they had over 100,000 players by this point.
@@2yoyoyo1Unplugged Exactly this. Why are there so many people in this comment section being petty bitches about some copyright for an older version of an online kids block game
@@gianni50725 Well, I'd have to agree with OP. I found the game in late 2006 and joined in 2007. I always thought the game would shut down eventually. It was a small project compared to what it is now, indie projects weren't expected to survive for long and the trailer sucked. They also had competition from Blockland. Nobody expected it to be so huge. I vaguely remember playing in 2008-09, but the community still seemed small then. You had more freedom to do what you wanted, and I used to get hit by other players in most servers I went to, so my character died constantly. I liked watching Roblox blooper videos on UA-cam, as well. I went on a ton of MMOGs (over 200), including virtual worlds and MMORPGs... 1 million players meant nothing compared to the gigantic playerbases of Western and Asian MMORPGs, or even virtual worlds like Habbo Hotel. If I didn't play something, I'm at least aware of it. Besides, I think that in 2008, there were 1 million accounts registered, not concurrent players.
I'll just make a correction regarding the Oof sound. It actually wasn't removed immediately when Tommy Tallarico found out about it in early 2020, they managed to come to an agreement during that time that allowed ROBLOX to continue using the Oof sound. However Tommy Tallarico in mid 2022, presumably due to financial troubles he ran into while developing the Intellivision Amico (which has often been described as a scam), likely demanded even more money from ROBLOX to allow them to continue using the Oof sound, which they refused to accept and instead created a new Oof sound.
the button.wav sound also appears in psychonauts when you pick up a collectible iirc, so that makes me think that the button.wav sound doesn't come from windows but from a sound library.
their service is growing backwards than allowing 18+ games Roblox: We still do 13+ games But who would be that age if you an old player Player1 age 31 player 2 21 player 3 19 Who can make an game NONE of them because their fav games now removed because is higher rated than 13+ Best part about roblox is removing songs that youtube allows copyright system that failed at the basic job oof song ( we allowed that audio is not copyrighted ( UA-cam) roblox: the oof song been removed because of copyright
Yeah, I joined Roblox around 2007 and the game was cooler back then. I'm too old for it now, but I was playing a few games with friends and it doesn't feel like Roblox anymore.
This explains a lot about why the icon graphics are so disjointed style-wise. I have to admit tho it adds a massive amount of charm to the whole thing. If it were too polished it might have come off cold and disingenuous when I first played >10 years ago (geez I'm old)
A lot of these assets from free asset cds and the like are totally legal to use and to call them stolen is a bit of a stretch. Many of these do seem to be stolen but many more aren’t. I think that’s an important distinction to make.
making roblox is like sketching out a drawing but instead of using a pen for line art u just keep adding on to the sketch and use it as the final product
wandering around abandoned and malfunctioning sites from 2006 and before searching for an forgotten asset is a vibe for me, specially if im doing this on windows xp idk why prob the fact that i collect old operative systems may attribute this
pretty fascinating stuff. it also reminds me of that rumor where one of the weld textures was stolen from Goldeneye 64. although I've only seen that on that roblox iceberg and can't find anything about it anywhere else.
Another great informative video toastedcherries :) The only thing that got me is that some of these assets aren't "stolen" really. If you go to 8:02, you can see that picture of snowballs is actually under CC0, meaning anybody can use that photo (even commercially) without having to ask to use it. I wish you were a bit more clearer on which assets were under what kind of liscencing and if Roblox followed said licensing, but I still quite liked the video dude. Super interesting stuff
2:57 There's sound in this CD which was used for the 1995 song Da Funk by the French EDM duo Daft Punk, same with the opening drum which was from I'm Just Gonna Love You a Little More by Barry White. Zero-G also stole sound effects from obscure songs, so the base.wav sound effect could be from a obscure 70s funk song.
Fun fact: The music from the Crossroads game is actually stolen, there is actuially an HD stereo upload on spotify! Credits to Badliz for aknowledging that it was taken and being perfectly fine with it.
I think he's talking about the music used in the first Roblox trailer that is called The Great Strategy by Badliz. I'm not sure if that song is royalty free or not but regardless, thanks Badliz for being fine with them using it and not copyright striking
Stolen and credited or not what with how small Roblox was, I still love the old assets and sound effects from the earlier days of the internet, still has a charm of the mishmash of random internet stuff in the developing engine at the time like it was supposed to be a 3D engine art project only to turn into mainstream because the appeal certainly was felt by kids more and more by the years now to be buried in obbies, tycoons and simulators.
CC0/public domain licenses allow you to take something without even requiring that you give credit, so not every uncredited asset is stolen many of these havent been proven to be stolen, so i think its a little weird to include them.
Ok to be fair this program started as a couple of dudes goofing off with simulated physics and 3D lego bricks and deciding to publish their engine as a brick stacking game, the early days of roblox literally looked like something I’d make for a school project and forget about.
just think of the new sound on roblox being used on banned games on Tiktok meaning they don`t have to find a sound anymore only the ending they need to find
Friend of Phantom Forces dev here. 3 or so years ago Jailbreak stole the inverse kinematics source code of Phantom Forces, put it in their own game.

I won't go into more detail than that but you get the gist.

@@4rumani I don't think I would call it massive. Not like it was unknown or underground, but it was nowhere near the level it is now.

Your editing style has changed kinda into a way of polygon donut from the vast use of funnies and what not. Did you get inspiration from something to have these changes?
i watched a polygon donut video a few weeks ago and was like "lemme just over-edit the hell out of this next video" and it turned out to be one of my fav videos ive made in ages
alot of the models seen in games on roblox including new ones use ripped Half Life 2 models. Big example is "Cult of the cryptids" which has a half life asset in every building. I also remember alot of the Icons that were used in studio were also packaged in LUA software and other engines that use it.
Yeah, anyone can throw in whatever asset theyd like into their shitty roblox game, thats pretty mundane lol. I dont think lua has anything to do with those icons either
I found out about Roblox around late 2006 or early 2007. I was a kid at the time. Roblox was a VERY indie game, something that was considered negative back then.

I believe that in 2008 they had 1 million sign-ups, not concurrent players. Early Roblox was better, in my opinion. Very anarchic and fun, even though I'd die in 10 seconds because everyone attacked me. 😂 I used to love watching videos by Fleskhjerta and JJx15 (or whatever he was called).
idk to be honest how to phrase this covers are more fun yk those games who have references for example of fnaf or other popular games??? thats kinda the point its just fun when u see something u already know in your favorite game
I played a lot of Roblox when I was a kid and ended up accounting most of this stuff as "Oh like from Roblox?" Like the Microsoft 3.1 start-up sound, I legitimately would think "Ah, the Roblox badge sound effect" Nice video, was nice looking back at my childhood nostalgia a bit and picking it apart.
Virgin 2022 Roblox:"We are sorry guys but we are removing the oof sound because it was stolen from a free sample." Vs Chad 2006 Roblox: " *Yeah bro i just stole your assets whatcha gonna do?* "
iirc roblox only had a limited selection of music you could put in your places for a time, all if not most of these were stolen from other games or media. A highlight from me is that the song "tunnel" on roblox was taken directly from the rhythm game DJMax Trilogy. The song's original title is Zet, made by Bexter.
i really hope this video doesn't make people go apeshit like last time when they realized that the hockey mask texture was from walmart, causing roblox to change it after 11 years, ruining the hat (and prices) forever.
just in case you didn’t mention it or did and I just missed it, the slingshot sound is used in shows like SpongeBob, meaning they ripped THAT too. Found it while binge-watching up to season 6 of SpongeBob just because
There’s something so retro and comforting about the old assets. Perhaps it was because the sound fonts were cartoony, and decals were unoriginal, that it felt familiar in an ironically innocent way. Now when you look at Roblox, you remember the wickedness behind the mask. Apart of growing up, I guess. Having nostalgia ruined by new discovery and insight.
I mean.. the internet was a huge place with a lot of stuff floating around back then. I couldn't entirely blame them for doing this; I know young me ripped assets from everywhere all the time to accomplish things because copyright isn't always so obvious when you're first on the internet lol. Good history stuff tho.
the pre-2007 studio icons were most likely made by microsoft and are found in the visual studio 2005 (and 2008) image library which is what roblox used at the time for the client
Had to go back as soon as I heard that the builders club hat was a stock image. Can't believe this Loved the classic feel to this video, awesome stuff!!
It's so fascinating to learn about the history of Roblox before I was even alive. It's so intriguing to me, yet i dont have a reason as to why it is. It simply just is
Not to mention, the pumpkin bomb laughing sound effect comes from the horror character Chucky, and his laugh has continued to be used all over Roblox and is mostly used as a clown laugh.
i used to make props and stuff on roblox when i was a kid and a bunch of my stuff showed up in really famous and popular maps but i never saw a lick of credit for them so i just stopped making stuff
i really wish i could go back in time and play roblox again. i played 2013(as a guest) and in 2014-present day. 2014-2016 had a lot of really fun and good games. and ik this is a common complaint, but im really tired of simulator/pet collector games. its hard to find smth fun without being recommended it by someone else or tiktok bc the discovery page is awful.
What's more interesting is that there is a channel (Roblox Gear Sounds) that puts videos of gear sound effects and I got to say, my favorite sound if the Boo sound effect from the soccer ball gear.
Man, that oof sound effect was so nostalgic, it was my childhood sound. Alot of those original sounds were. I used to play alot of roblox when I was a kid.
@BiggaMyMan I'm more "normal" now than I was as a kid tbh. But there's no such thing as "normal" normal is boring. I'm more proud of myself now than I ever have been.
Hellar toastedcherry I originally ordered my food to eat and watch your video and leave when I finished ate, I watch a your video all the way through, this one and many others. I had not gone out yet, I still might but I still watch your video. Very nice videos keep it up chery

Early Roblox was better, in my opinion. Very anarchic and fun, even though I'd die in 10 seconds because everyone attacked me. 😂
I used to love watching videos by Fleskhjerta and JJx15 (or whatever he was called).
Couldn’t they have just made… their own version of oof?
Just record it themselves and make it a little different
idk to be honest how to phrase this
covers are more fun
yk those games who have references for example of fnaf or other popular games??? thats kinda the point its just fun when u see something u already know in your favorite game
@@pop761 im making my own oof sound
Plagiarism probably
@Alguien Mas how? Thats like plagiarizing the word "English" many people have said oof and in other medias way before the original one
The tripmine sound being used for old horror games is the roblox equivalent of the HL2 stalker scream used in almost every gmod horror map.
I played a lot of Roblox when I was a kid and ended up accounting most of this stuff as "Oh like from Roblox?" Like the Microsoft 3.1 start-up sound, I legitimately would think "Ah, the Roblox badge sound effect" Nice video, was nice looking back at my childhood nostalgia a bit and picking it apart.
please do more with this kind of editing my adhd is laughing so hard rn
2:08 you use the 3ds internet connection theme you are a w bro
been waiting for a video like this for YEARS, thank you!
Virgin 2022 Roblox:"We are sorry guys but we are removing the oof sound because it was stolen from a free sample."
Vs
Chad 2006 Roblox: " *Yeah bro i just stole your assets whatcha gonna do?* "
Some icons from the silk pack are used in gmod for the spawn menu
iirc roblox only had a limited selection of music you could put in your places for a time, all if not most of these were stolen from other games or media.
A highlight from me is that the song "tunnel" on roblox was taken directly from the rhythm game DJMax Trilogy. The song's original title is Zet, made by Bexter.
i really hope this video doesn't make people go apeshit like last time when they realized that the hockey mask texture was from walmart, causing roblox to change it after 11 years, ruining the hat (and prices) forever.
just in case you didn’t mention it or did and I just missed it, the slingshot sound is used in shows like SpongeBob, meaning they ripped THAT too. Found it while binge-watching up to season 6 of SpongeBob just because
There’s something so retro and comforting about the old assets. Perhaps it was because the sound fonts were cartoony, and decals were unoriginal, that it felt familiar in an ironically innocent way. Now when you look at Roblox, you remember the wickedness behind the mask. Apart of growing up, I guess. Having nostalgia ruined by new discovery and insight.
The old assets definitely used to give Roblox more of a humble feeling, and it was nice because it wasn't seriously corporate as it is today.
Also the Roblox "OST". It's just a bunch of stolen Nintendo or obscure video game music
Finally, some good damn content
I mean.. the internet was a huge place with a lot of stuff floating around back then. I couldn't entirely blame them for doing this; I know young me ripped assets from everywhere all the time to accomplish things because copyright isn't always so obvious when you're first on the internet lol. Good history stuff tho.
1:06 spirit Halloween screaming
Tinky Winky scream
4:12 WHY DOES THAT IMAGE LOOK LIKE THE BACKGROUNDS FROM WOLF tracers dinosaur island? Is it the same software they used in that film?
7:30 “There’s nothing funny about this by the way” I still find it funny
4:05 who created this? I must know who made this masterpiece of art.
SharpTH, an old-school roblox/minecraft/etc youtuber that was most active around 2009 to 2011 ua-cam.com/users/TheSharpTHOfLulz
NOoo SPONGEBOB
Never noticed that the old Roblox Studio icons and Gmod's spawn menu icons were the same until now.
7:26 the more I watch this the funnier it gets
the pre-2007 studio icons were most likely made by microsoft and are found in the visual studio 2005 (and 2008) image library which is what roblox used at the time for the client
Its no suprise roblox did that but that years later the creators actually notice it and sue them is kinda weird
The glassbreak sound is actually used in Half-life too
the roblox horror music was made using christmas bell sounds Slowed down , thx to shedlesky
We should shame Roblox for replacing the OOF sound.
They said no to a nostalgic sound for 10k when there a multi billionaire
Yeah shame roblox
Finally a video we needed for years.
8:42 that hand kinda looks like the one from the font 'Wingdings'
bass.wav still hits me like a truck when I'm not expecting it
Had to go back as soon as I heard that the builders club hat was a stock image. Can't believe this
Loved the classic feel to this video, awesome stuff!!
Me and the person under me shat my pants.
I confirm that I shat my pants
Pixelcraftian’s comment is unpopular?!
I almost forgot that shedletsky worked at ROBLOX until I saw his Avatar 💀
fun fact: the famfamfam silk icon pack is also used in valve games
YESSS VALVE YESSSSSSSSS
@Bruner, The font wasn't stoled from Gorrilaz album, it is called Gill Sans Ultra Bold.
royalty free creators may not require credit for their work, just like you dont credit earthbound for your outro
A+ for the editing on this one
Honestly after realizing how many people took from who, I don't really feel so bad about taking assests from the left tab
whats funnier is that the old icons used in studio were also used in gmod
It's so fascinating to learn about the history of Roblox before I was even alive. It's so intriguing to me, yet i dont have a reason as to why it is. It simply just is
Not to mention, the pumpkin bomb laughing sound effect comes from the horror character Chucky, and his laugh has continued to be used all over Roblox and is mostly used as a clown laugh.
i used to make props and stuff on roblox when i was a kid and a bunch of my stuff showed up in really famous and popular maps but i never saw a lick of credit for them so i just stopped making stuff
i really wish i could go back in time and play roblox again. i played 2013(as a guest) and in 2014-present day. 2014-2016 had a lot of really fun and good games. and ik this is a common complaint, but im really tired of simulator/pet collector games. its hard to find smth fun without being recommended it by someone else or tiktok bc the discovery page is awful.
What's more interesting is that there is a channel (Roblox Gear Sounds) that puts videos of gear sound effects and I got to say, my favorite sound if the Boo sound effect from the soccer ball gear.
It’s crazy that Tommy talirico made every sound effect for Roblox
1:06 this should've been the new death sound lmao
6:56 that's how the builders club hat came to the game!
The old sounds and textures and even shadows made roblox dream like which make it look unique.
Man, that oof sound effect was so nostalgic, it was my childhood sound. Alot of those original sounds were. I used to play alot of roblox when I was a kid.
Back when you were normal, good times I’d presume.
@BiggaMyMan I'm more "normal" now than I was as a kid tbh. But there's no such thing as "normal" normal is boring. I'm more proud of myself now than I ever have been.
coming from october 15th
happy birthday toast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To this roblox came out that long ago is crazy, just think how old the myths are that people still believe in
I had been playing Roblox since the early days and haven't played in a few years now so alot of these textures and sounds are quite nostalgic actually
Fun fact: When i first see the copy tool i thought its a wrench
Hellar toastedcherry I originally ordered my food to eat and watch your video and leave when I finished ate, I watch a your video all the way through, this one and many others. I had not gone out yet, I still might but I still watch your video. Very nice videos keep it up chery
ur vids are so high quality and interesting, i love them! keep it up
I feel like for a lot of these icons for ingame items they could've used a picture or silhouette of the model they used.
4:13 that clip gotta be the smoothest clip from old roblox
im scared that there will probably be more iconic roblox images/sounsd that will be removed
6:36 famfamfam is also known for the flag icons which are still used today on many websites
