Abstract

Roblox is an online gaming platform that serves not only as a source of entertainment but also as a virtual social space where players interact and build relationships. One popular map is Fish It, a fishing simulation game developed by Fish Atelier. Beyond the act of fishing, players utilize text chat, voice chat, and emotes to exchange information, collaborate, and foster social connections. This phenomenon demonstrates that in-game virtual communication can serve as a means of building social relationships, even in the absence of face-to-face contact. This study aims to explain the role of communication in the formation of social relationships, analyze the process of relationship-building among players through interactions within the Fish It map on Roblox, and identify the forms of communication employed by players. The research employs a descriptive qualitative approach using a virtual ethnography method grounded in Computer-Mediated Communication (CMC) theory. Data were gathered through in-depth interviews with five informants selected via purposive sampling, supplemented by observation and documentation. The results indicate that the virtual communication patterns among Fish It players are two-way (circular) and interactive, taking place through text chat, voice chat, and digital symbols such as avatar expressions. These communication patterns facilitate information exchange, feedback, player collaboration, and the development of social relationships driven by interaction frequency and shared gaming interests. The findings suggest that the communication features in Fish It do more than support gameplay; they function as a digital communication space that fosters social connections among players.
