2018 Spring & Summer Accelerator & Incubator Applications!

[Keyrut]

I’ve gotta say, the anticipation generated by this is like waiting for SAT scores and college apps to come in.

[ColdSmoke]

So just to make sure, when you’re done interviewing people and move on to round 2 or whatever you’ll let us know right so we can have closure with our disappointment?

[ColdSmoke]

Don’t they announce it every year in the blog? I just mean they should go ahead and say something here like “Ok we’re done interviewing! Thanks for applying!” as not to keep anyone in suspension

[AlgyLacey (Algy)]

I haven’t seen it announced on the blog for the past few years.

If you are accepted then you will get an email.
If you are declined after the interview then you’ll also get an email.

Oh are interviews guaranteed?

[TheNexusAvenger (Nexus)]

Interviews would probably based on your applications. From my experience with a campus job, it is Application → Pre-screening Interview → Main Interview → Final Decision → First few week performance evaluation, and you can be rejected at any point down the line. I imagine the Incubator and Accelerator programs would fully follow this, mainly to prevent people who seem unqualified from a full interview and remove people who end up being slackers.

TL;DR: An interview is probably not guaranteed.

[ColdSmoke]

Ok so then this all comes full circle to my initial question…

[buildthomas]

I’m sure they will, it is common courtesy to give a response and it’s also not really professional to leave applicants hanging. You’ll get a response whether you’re accepted/denied eventually, just give them some time.

[ColdSmoke]

That’s what I was looking for, Thank you

Hey Developers,

Unfortunately at this point all spots for the 2018 Accelerator & Incubator programs are now full and we have closed the survey. We encourage you to apply again next year with everything new you’ve learned as we are always looking for new developers to join our programs on a yearly basis.

We’d like to thank you for showing interest in the Roblox Accelerator & Incubator programs in what has been our most competitive year since starting these programs. We hope this message does not discourage you from creating on Roblox, and instead furthers your drive to build, create and grow!

We also like to provide our developers with various opportunities to apply for custom event games throughout the year. Please feel free to apply to any of the future opportunities that we announce on the public section of the Developer Forum:

2018 Sales Calendar

Hey Everyone, A lot of devs have asked for a Sales Game Calendar. For those of you who don’t know, our monthly Roblox event games are based on a predetermined theme that changes every year. Sales games is a great opportunity to learn, brings new users to your game, helps retention and monetization, work closely with Roblox and a program manager, have your game associated with brand name sponsors, earn money as games contractor, and it adds excitement to your game and the platform. I am making…

Your continued support and love for Roblox is what keeps powering the imaginations of millions of users around the world! And remember every game starts with a single brick or line of code.

Thanks,
Developer Relations Team

And remember every game starts with a single brick or line of code.

So true.

[KingOfGenres]

I hope in the coming future once I’ve got time and my projects are done I can apply for one of the two.

[KnockOfScripting (KnockOfInsanity)]

Sad knack didn’t get internship. Next year I will get it though!!

[len_ny (frieren)]

function funfact()
if game.Workspace.Part == true then
print(“And remember every game starts with a single brick or line of code.”)
elseif game.Workspace.Part == nil then
print(“So true.”)
end
end

for i=1, 10 do
funfact()
end

[len_ny (frieren)]

are people who do artwork able to work on this with some of the employee’s as if we were a scripter or builder?

and is this also located in europe?

[buildthomas]

@len_ny

are people who do artwork able to work on this with some of the employee’s as if we were a scripter or builder?

You can work together with people outside of HQ that are scripters/builders if you arrange this yourself, they are fine with that. You may also be able to work together with other accelerators/incubators.

@len_ny

and is this also located in europe?

No, these positions are at Roblox HQ (San Mateo, California).

[len_ny (frieren)]

so like they dont let outside “contractors” talk to others who may be in that expertise at those positions? that kinds bumms me out

[buildthomas]

No, let me just quote an older post of myself above on the same question:

@buildthomas

These two programs are not really suitable for that, being there in person and able to have face-to-face discussions with other interns/staff members is beneficial for your own learning experience and for their goals. If you just want to work online on a project that is directed by Roblox and managed by yourself, get a team together and apply to work on an event/sponsored game project instead whenever they release applications for those.

[WhoseTrade]

yeah I agree with your previous post

these positions are not really jobs, they’re a learning experience for you, and roblox (roblox employees get to see first-hand action how their content creators work)

if you think you (or you & a team) are already fit to take on responsibility similar, apply for one of the sponsored game events throughout the year.
