Announcing Free Badge Creations!

After years, it has come. I thank whoever made this decision a ton.

I don’t think people make 5 badges in 1 game. Even if they did, its not a problem since 24 hours aren’t that much of time to wait considering you can make 20 badges in 4 days.

I feel like it should be 5 free badges in total rather than 5 free badges for a game per day
The initial investment to make them cost a little made it so that they couldn’t easily bloat up the badges being handed out. Speaking of, badges as a system still feel fairly neglected (no way to show specific badges you’re proud of on your profile for instance without constantly deleting newly obtained badges)

Hopefully, I think paying 20 Robux for a 1 second sound is bad.

As a developer myself, this is a great change to badges that will help me and every single developer on Roblox. But, I also look over the perspective of badge collectors. I get it that it may not feel as “rewarding” to get a free badge, but …

  1. You will not even notice whether it’s free or not;
  2. All in all, this change should not be effecting badge collectors, but rather provides a better solution to developers who create games for you badge collectors to play.

Personally, I believe this is a step in the right direction for the metaverse.

I have never created a badge on a game before, and that was because I was afraid that I would be wasting my robux on a failed project. Now, I no longer have to worry about that. Thank you so much for this update, this really helps out smaller developers! :grin:

You can already transfer games from your profiles to your groups.

Never knew that. But I know it’s impossible to transfer datastores, which we need desperately.

Indeed, hopefully Roblox adds that feature soon in the future.

Can I get my money back for the 5k I spent on my other games?

This is such an interesting prospect! Originally, I was worried about badges becoming worthless, but I recently reopened an ANCIENT “Badge Hunt” game I made in the early 2010s, and I got FLOODED with DMs asking me to finish adding the badges. Badge collectors are alive and well hahaha.

I also like the prospect of using badges as a sort of trophy or achievement. I personally love being in the “Top 1%” in a game. The few who make it this far :smiley:

A good update?!?!?!? :shock:
Well then this is great as it seems like they’ll probably do the same things for shirts and pants soon like how they followed along and did this with audios even though that sucked.

This is a great update for all developers.

This will make it way more easy for small developers to thrive, now they can advertise using badges for free! and also many ‘find the___’ games will probably love this update.

No, you cannot recieve refunds for that. If Roblox suddenly announced that you will get 100% of all revenue, you can’t just run back and ask them to give you 100% of the revenue from long time back like 2021 or 2020, because that update did not exist at that time.

(Note: This is just an example to explain this to you)

God bless roblox staff’s soul.

This updating is amazing, I just realized this TODAY. When I was making a player as joined badge, and then it’s like “Purchase for: 0 Robux” “You have 14,349, After 14,349.” YES!

i love this update

Honestly, A Badge is still a badge. Just whatever VALUE you put on it.

Badges with the 100 robux also “wasn’t a badge” until you actually scripted it to do something.
