You couldn’t have said it better. I’m so glad people can share the same thoughts that I do in a more concise manner.
Yeah! I have a lightning sound effect just a little over 7 seconds! SO STUPID!
Oh ok. I thought Roblox just used some AI to detect how trash you are. But then why did they say that you get 2000 for doing ID I thought? Idrk.
Also if they didn’t want this many posts and criticism, they shouldn’t have rubbed it in our face all over Roblox website and Studio.
You seem to be successfull developer with over 30k visits and more than 4k followers. I think they give more uploads to the most famous developers. Or maybe you uploaded many audios before and so they might think you would need a bigger cap.
I hope you’re right,
Me too. If only Roblox was transparent with this information and removed all doubt. But apparently that’s asking a lot.
Greed moment
also if its on the library that means its free to take ._.
No one asked for this update… stop doing this Roblox.
I have never seen an update this bad in my whole 5+ years on this platform, almost nobody wants this.
The clowns don’t listen, they dance for the kids—leeching profit. Roblox staff are stomping on the face of the community. They don’t give a crap about us anymore, they never did for a long time. Very saddening.
I don’t understand why everyone is so negative about this update? I feel that this is a much needed update, maybe with a bit of fixing here and there this could turn into a great system for all. (I replied to the wrong person, apologies)
Anyone remember this message???
I have a hunch that’s what all the experiences with broken audio are going to look like after this update (except with the word experience).
Would be nice if audios were public by default and private by option. Part of the beauty of Roblox was having the ability to find necessary audios without having to upload them yourself, since someone else already uploaded one that’s good. Also, see below.
This feels worse than when YouTube removed dislikes! Am I wrong?
I want tubers93 to come back and bring justice to us again. This update is just horrible. It’s more trash itself than the way its system rates how many uploads per month you get.
I have never seen an update this bad in the decade I’ve been on this platform, nobody wants this.
Thank you for the kind words! I do wish that I was a little less aggressive in my wording, but I had to get out my frustration about the sheer number of changes like this with massive platform-wide consequences made with no consideration for the health of the platform or developers whatsoever. (I’d slap you a like if I hadn’t reached the limit for the day.)
I do genuinely appreciate all the work that the Roblox team goes for, but lately this has been getting absolutely and utterly ridiculous. I do not understand the thought process behind these changes whatsoever, and it is immensely aggravating to see that changes like this are STILL consistently being presented.
With my 10 upload cap per month I think I will be able to fix the audios of my games in maybe 6 months. Thanks Roblox
This is going to break 90% of games and this is going to SUCK to implement.
The problem is that developers feel forced to reupload audios, they probably uploaded more than 50 audios before these news came up, audio is a really important element for games, such as Phantom Forces and The Rake [REMASTERED]. Don’t forget about the audio upload limit, it makes the process so slow and stressing to do, I feel like they’re trying to make Premium more valuable by making Premium members have an increased upload limit lol
That is well-said. Most development studios will have no issue privatizing audio that they don’t want escaping. But rather publicating everything will be a much larger challenge. This update will decimate the Roblox sound library.
We chose to use the sound library due to the ease of use to find great SFX/Music that works for what we make. The Roblox sound library has been around longer than many Roblox users, so it is very important that a better solution is found rather than breaking games.
First and foremost, I am delighted that I can now freely upload audio files, sadly all audio that is longer than 6 seconds will be set to private instead of 6 seconds it would have been preferable if it had been set to 12 seconds. Second, we’d get professionally produced sound effects to use in our games.
