One of the characters in The Collective game on Roblox.

21 devs and creators help make a game with 8-year-old Roblox creator

Timmeh IRL is pretty young as far as Roblox creators go. He’s only eight years old, but he has more than 18,000 YouTube subscribers for his channel dedicated to the gaming platform.

And today the little boy, whose name is Mason, is hosting a battle between two groups of Roblox players/creators. The groups are called The Seven and The Collective. Timmeh IRL is hosting the battle at 1 p.m. Pacific time and he’ll release a song, Roblox Hackers, at the end of it.
