Biography
Elttob started playing Roblox on 27 November 2008 under the account name Daspling. The password to the account was quickly lost, however, and so the Elttob account was originally created on 6 December 2008, 9 days later, under the name Cashregisterperson2.

The account saw many name changes over the years, changing to CashRP2 initially, followed by DuckWick and eventually Elttob. The username is a wordplay on 'bottle', where the words are reversed.

Works
As early as 2013, Elttob was looking to make a Minecraft-esque voxel game on the Roblox platform. Initially titled 'Blockcraft', the first publicly released version was released on 25 January 2014, as a homage to the original Blockcraft game popular on Roblox a few years earlier. It shares much of the same characteristics, but is no longer available to play.

Subsequent attempts to remake Blockcraft were made over the course of the next six years, without much success. Eventually, in 2016, a breakthrough was made; a new voxel engine entitled Project Vox was created to allow for the generation of infinite voxel worlds. The engine was later rebuilt in 2017 and has since become infamous as the ancestor to Blox. Development on Project Vox ended in 2018, and the entire engine was later scrapped, to be turned into Blox.

Blox started development on 16 May 2019, using many concepts taken from Project Vox, and 30 iterative versions were created privately over the span of six days. The first publicly available version, Blox 0.30, would be released on 22 May 2019. After this, new versions of the game would be released on Fridays, known as the Friday Updates.

On 30 June 2019, Elttob would make a second notable game, entitled 'chair', made in a single day as a joke game. The only action available to the player is to sit down in a chair, as the title and thumbnail suggest. The game grew quickly in popularity alongside Blox.
