Obby Creator - Update Logs
10th April 2024
Bug Fixes:
- Fixed the Featured Tag setting not showing for Featured players.
- Fixed the Egg Hunt gift box counter not disappearing even though 20,000 gifts have already been given out.
4th April 2024
Biggest Changes:
- EGG HUNT 2024!
– Find 15 eggs scattered through the many different player-created builds inside Obby Creator!
– Find 10 eggs through built-in challenges inside the lobby area!
– Find all eggs to win the final egg hunt badge! See how many people finished before you when you complete the hunt!
– PLUS - the first 10,000 people to complete the egg hunt will also receive a special gift! - Upgraded to the newer Roblox chat system. Let me know if anything breaks!
- Added 2 more “Classic” VIP PreMades that have a chance of appearing.
Smaller Changes:
- Changed the fling command’s behaviour slighty, making it less powerful and include angular momentum.
- Removed the Copyrighted Music setting.
– This used to be more applicable before the Roblox music removal update. I kept it for YouTubers to use, but I think it actually causes more confusion than people that use it.
Bug Fixes:
- Fixed incorrect Did You Know stating that featured obbies are the top ~1,000~ 10,000 obbies.
- Fixed pressing enter to load an obbyid quickly loading the previous obby instead.
- Fixed VIP PreMades sometimes being difficult to place on Mobile.
- Fixed the Road Sign + Classic Tree VIP PreMades placing incorrectly.
9th March 2024
Bug Fixes:
- Fixed new Like notifications using Roblox’s experience notification system. You might now see an Obby Creator notification in your notifications section on the Roblox website or app.
4th March 2024
Smaller Changes:
- Increased Featured obbies to choose from the top 10,000 obbies (prev 1,000).
- Top 10,000 creators will now receive a special chat tag (prev 1,000).
– With this, I’ve introduced different tag colours based on your ranking. Top 100 is Diamond, top 1,000 is Gold, top 2,500 is silver and top 10,000 is bronze.
– → Top Creator mark on Profiles now reflects this change.
– I’ve also removed the chat tag for Trending obbies. I want a chat tag to feel special and Trending obbies already have a lot of visibility to the rest of the game. - Increased chance of a featured obby being a top obby (rather than a Trending obby) to 70% (prev 50%).
- Decreased delay when loading a new page of Genre to 1 second (prev 2 seconds).
- The Load UI will now keep it’s last state when you reopen it. This means you can load an obby from a genre page and then continue in the same position when you reopen the UI.
- Re-added the Un-Like button on the Liked obbies list. Forgot to add that when I was remaking the UI!
- Improved the search bar in the Load UI - it will now catch Mobile users pressing enter on their keyboard!
Bug Fixes:
- Fixed NoCliip/Fly not working.
- Fixed being able to clone parts with ctrl + c when not in edit mode.
- Fixed number of likes not being in the correct place when looking at the Trending obbies.
- Added patch for glitched effects due to large outline boxes recently being shared with more creators. This is very disruptive for other people playing!
- Fixed the X button not appearing when using the search bar.
- Fixed pressing the return key and removing text from the search bar still searching for your previous input.
- Attempted fix for Genre categories getting messed up after a server has been open for a long time.
3rd March 2024
Bug Fixes:
- Fixed Load Parts popup UI not working.
- Fixed Egg Head VIP PreMade not placing properly.
- Fixed Trending Featured Obbies all being called “Obby”.
2nd March 2024

- Fixed a bug where number type settings (Move, NoClip Speed, Default Time etc) wouldn’t load properly on join.
1st March 2024
Genres/Discovery/UI Update!
Biggest Changes:
- REVAMPED THE LOAD OBBY UI!
– ICONS - Add an Icon to your obbies! You can upload an Icon for a small amount of Gems or Robux (free with VIP).
– GENRES - Choose a Genre for each obby! You can also vote to change another obby’s Genre if you think the owner has set it incorrectly.
– PROFILES - View a user’s Profile to see all of their obbies in one place!
– FAVORITES - Favorite up to 20 obbies so they are easy to access in the future.
– DISCOVER - Find new obbies by searcing through the different Genres. Looking for a Diffculty Chart to play? Take a look through the DCO section! This shows the top 10,000 obbies!
– SEARCH - You can still search for obbies by name, but now you can also search for a user by name or id and view their profile. - Revamped the TopBar, using TopBarPlus and some new icons from RemixIcons.
- Added new Pass, “MORE PREMADES!! NOW!!”
– With this Pass, you’ll be able to make an extra 114 custom PreMades.
– It’s quite expensive as I don’t feel like it’s a necessary Pass to own.
– This is only possible because of a change behind the scenes with how the game handles PreMade data. - Added 4 new obby plots.
– This brings the total number of obbies/server to 18 (prev 12). Hopefully it’s fun seeing more builds in one server. Let me know if you like/dislike this change. - Removed 2 Featured plots (prev 4).
– With the new Discovery features in the Load UI, these don’t feel as important anymore.
– I’m switching these for normal player slots - but might change it back if people don’t like it as much!
– Featured obbies will now load a random obby from the top 1,000 obbies (prev 2,000). - Added new Camera Mode Speed options for PC players, and NoClip Speed option for all players.
Smaller Changes:
- Obbies in the top rated section (Genres) that haven’t been edited in 3 months will now receive a negative impact when the game is deciding their position in the rankings.
- Added new Like Notifications! Once Roblox enables this feature, you’ll receive notifications from your Roblox app when your obby increases in Likes whilst you’re not playing the game. Will notify you less often the more likes you have.
- Resizing balls will now work more similarly to studio (all sides will be increased/decreased). You can still change the size of a ball freely within Properties > Data > Size.
- Added 4 new VIP PreMades options, increased number of monthly models to 7 (prev 6).
- Added new property for Particles, ZOffset.
- Reduced obby loading ratelimit from 30s to 20s.
– This loading ratelimit will now also be used in other UI functions, such as searching or viewing profiles. - Recuced Texture limit to be inline with Text/Images.
- Adjusted streaming behaviour of obbies. One whole obby should now stream in correcttly rather than half of an obby with low graphics quality.
- Adjusted effect bounds:
– Outline: LineThickness max is now 0.5 (prev 0.25)
– Particles: Size max is now 50 (prev 10). Squash min/max is now 5 (prev 3). Drag max is now 10 (prev 5). - Removed Likes Goals needed to place certain parts.
- Disabled Lag Detected push block systen. Still searching for a good solution to this problem.
Bug Fixes:

- Fixed parts rendering on top of text inside the Add frame.
- Fixed falling parts behaving weirdly when activated by buttons.
- Fixed Avatar - Walk option not being available in Global Properties parts settings.
- Fixed Particles max limit being calculated incorrectly.
- Fixed Undo/Redo being permanently locked after using team create.
- Fixed Move/Rotate settings not saving upon rejoining.
- Fixed issue where Featured obbies would sometimes still be called “Obby”. Hopefully.
- Fixed bug where you could use the Teleport option to make client sided parts outside of your obby plot.
- Fixed bug where you could use the Size section of Data Properties to make Trusses that would stick outside of an obby plot.
- Cross Server Player Counts are currently disabled as I look into improving this system. Sorry for any inconvienienenience! (i don’t think i spelt that right)
20th January 2024
Smaller Changes:
- Removed Christmas 2023 theme.
– I’m working on an update, looking forward to sharing with you soon!
23rd December 2023
Smaller Changes:
- Improved the Tutorial system, as well as disabled the pathfinding green arrows when you first join.
– Obby Creator’s retention (the amount of new players that come back) is REALLY bad, and because of this Roblox doesn’t recommend it to new players very often. I’m trying to change that by making these small changes. Let me know if you have any feedback.
Bug Fixes:
- Dying while in the Intro cutscene no longer breaks your camera.
20th December 2023

☃︎ Christmas Update! ☃︎
Biggest Changes:

︎ Added Christmas 2023 PreMade section.

Added new Particles effect!
– This new effect is extremely customisable! Go crazy with all the different properties, mirroring the Particle Emitter effect in studio.
– Different to other effects, Particles will be disabled until a player enters your obby. This is because there is no way to check if particles are leaving an obby’s plot. -
Added new VIP Subscription!
– This is a monthly subscription using Roblox’s new subscription feature. Players with this subscription will receive lots of perks.
– Read more about VIP in-game. -
Added ability to purchase cash with Gems.

Smaller Changes:
- Made some changes to Part Limit:
– Removed Premium +100 part limit for all new players. If you have premium when you first join this update, you should keep your extra parts forever.
– New users will now automatically have 1,000 Part Limit, and no longer have to increase their limit with cash.
– Adjusted pricing of purchasing Part Limit with Developer Products. Some cheaper products are now more expensive. - Upgraded the Shop screen with more Modern UI.

- Adjusted effect limits.
- Added Brightness/LightInfluence properties to Text/Image effects.
- Weekly leaderboard no longer refreshes at the same time each week to stop people predicting the best times to get likes. The time is randomised within a 12 hour window.
- Condensed Top & Trending section of Load UI into one to simplify the top bar.
- The game will try to detect lag spikes, and disable client objects in your current obby when this happens. Hopefully this will help to combat lag machines.

- Increased Push Parts limit to 80 (prev 70).

21st October 2023
Biggest Changes:
-
Added new effect, Video!
– Add the new Video effect to your obby, and then choose which video you’d like in the Properties screen.
– Unfortunately due to current Roblox limitations, you can only choose from the selection of Videos I add into the game.
– Much like audio, uploading your own video and then using inside Obby Creator isn’t actually possible
– Starting with 44 videos that Roblox supplied. May add more in future! - Locked Parts - some types of parts won’t be available to use until you unlock like badges.
– Some parts that previously could be used by everyone are now locked under a certain number of Likes (mostly 5 or 10 Likes). If you have the 50 Likes badge, you won’t notice any difference.
– Why am I adding this? Progression! Hopefully this helps newer players want to keep playing in order to unlock new parts. -
Added new part type, the Lava Push Block.
– This part type is locked behind 25 likes. -
Added new part type, the Moving Conveyor.
– This part type is locked behind 5 likes. -
The Shape property now includes Ball, Wedge & CornerWedge!
– Change any part into these new Shape properties.
– This opens to door to things like: CornerWedge Push Block, Timed Ball or a Wedge Shaped Button (if you want haha)! -
Added 7 new skybox options:
– Retro
– White
– Green
– Black
– Rainy Day
– Dreamy Ocean
– Dark Night
Smaller Changes:
- Discover page improvements.
– You can now search for obbies created by a specific player. On PC, start typing to see the available options. On Mobile/Console, toggle the search style with the button on the right of the search bar.*
– On PC, the game will now search when you press Enter on the keyboard, which makes more sense!* - Increased maximum purchasable part limit to 4500 (prev 4000).
- Increased button link limit to 4 (prev 3) and button object limit to 40 (prev 30).
- You can now change the Material property on Cart tracks and Character Models.
– Changing material of character models or mannequins is kinda weird but this is a Roblox issue, I figured I’d let you do it anyway even though it can be a bit strange haha. - Revamped the settings UI, plus added a Featured Tag setting which lets you disable your featured chat tag if you’d like.
- Your camera will automatically tween to look at your your obby if you load a new obby.
– I’m adding this because I noticed newer players loading an obby while looking the wrong way and being confused. - I’m testing a 5% chance of a featured obby showing a winner from the most recent Build Battle. This might stay in the game, but it might not.
- Improved badge handling. Reaching a new badge milestone will now properly reaward any missing previous badges.
- Improved system for detection of moving parts/pressure plates.
– This will mean the game can detect both type of parts at once, and fixes some strange behaviour when multiple moving parts overlap. - Added mouse hover animations for every X close button. Why didn’t this exist already?
- Added new console icons that correctly update if you’re on xbox vs playstation.
Bug Fixes:
- Fixed bug where dragging or placing parts would interact with original push part locations, even if the push part had moved.
- Fixed bug where the limit for effects was inconsistent throughout the game.
- Fixed positional hint showing you a parts position during Move mode wouldn’t work properly for Moving Parts.

5th May 2023
Biggest Changes:
- Added new part, Load Part!
– This part will prompt the player to load a new obby when it is activated.
– This can be useful if you want to advertise some of your other obbies, or if you have an obby split across multiple obby slots. - Added new part, Music Zone!
– Included as part of the Advanced Tools gamepass!
– This part will make music play when the player is stood inside the zone!
