U-Digitaloka @ UiTM Shah Alam
We took MYSverse from ROBLOX to real life at U-Digitaloka! Our booth showcased how gaming meets education through Lebuhraya, where players explore Malaysian culture while learning about real careers. Gaming isn't just fun, it's a tool for imagination and learning!
Hey everyone! Karl here with an update.
MYSverse had participated in a real life event called U-Digitaloka at UiTM Shah Alam on the 24th June 2024. Consider it as a small step into the arena but a big leap from a "ROBLOX Group". You can read more on the rebranding journey, here.
Let's take a look at the booth setup!
Neat setup, don't you agree?
At U-Digitaloka, the team had entertained numerous visitors that visited out of curiosity as well as those who knew of MYSverse flagship game; Lebuhraya.
So, what is the purpose of MYSverse participating in U-Digitaloka?
If you haven't read the rebranding journey of MYSverse, that's alright! What we're trying to introduce to potential collaborators as well as the general public is the conveniency of the ROBLOX platform for beneficial programs. What was highlighted during the event was how MYSverse can foster national identity by sharing cultural and historical stories, which is true! Let's put that aside and think out of the box.
Fun
Games are meant for players to have fun in their own way and their own pace. What does that have to do with MYSverse? Lebuhraya offers that kind of fun; the fun to enjoy driving around the map, explore, and engage with other players, in their own way and pace.
Education
Education?
Yes. Education. The occupational roles in-game were not meant to be for fun only but also provides exposure to players on what they, the occupational roles, do in real life, as accurately as possible. Who knows, you might get hooked on one of the job that is showcased in the game that you'd apply for it, in real life!

ROBLOX is more than just a gaming platform. It's a tool of possibilities. It can be used for profit-seeking, a platform to develop games, a platform to connect to other players from around the world, a platform for learning, a platform to enjoy relaxing and comforting games, and many more. As ROBLOX's previous motto says; Powering Imagination.
We're not limiting ourselves as game developers. We're empowering our imagination to bring real life into the virtual world! Anyone can be what they want to be. Build confidence, build networks, pick up new skills!
That's all for the update! Thanks for reading!
