I was interested in the latest in the roadmap - everyone will be able to publish accessories and limiteds. It seems to me that the marketplace will be crowded because of this.

This is a way better roadmap than all the previous years. It’s expansive, easy on the eyes (sans the lack of white theme) and really details some plans ahead for the future of Roblox. This really helps see what’s in store for Roblox and I will always support the platform’s endeavours to improve as long as they are in lockstep with the community and we don’t have continued repeat incidences of shafted feedback or forcing a vision rather than holding true to the motto of Powering Imagination.
Much love for the improved communication. I’m still a person of seeing action so I hope that each team’s actions can demonstrate that future announcements on developer news are more than just words, PR and damage control; I want to see actual commitment to improved technology, developer resources and showing that feedback has ample weight in helping convey our needs and wants for the betterment of our experiences and communities.

First up, excellent work - this kind of communication is amazing and we’re all having a party over on discord talking about what’s coming 
I hope that this is is the start of a beautiful new trend and this roadmap stays updated frequently - I especially hope that more small-ticket items can make their way onto this list, so we know if we need to keep pestering you about QOL things like “Colors for surface appearances” 
I would like to know what’s on the roadmap for other systems, like the physics engine, the UI system, humanoids, streaming, visibility management, etc etc. We know there is work coming for these, but we’d love to see what’s in progress, and what the maybes are, too.
Keep up the great coms!

While this is certainly a step up from the no-roadmap we previously had (or the incredibly old vague ones) and I do very-well appreciate this added communication that was previously absent, it still doesn’t fully satisfy me due to the following line:
I understand not everything can be listed (if it were you’d likely be diving into unconfirmed updates
or have a list that is incredibly long) however generally, (even from the times of the old roadmap) the updates that most hurt developers are updates that aren’t even listed on a road-map until the point that they are publicly announced. At that point, it’s already too late to change the direction of the update (either that, or our cries as developers were ignored, the latter of which I wouldn’t like to believe).
I think the major issue is that details are never fine-stated (even if on the roadmap), obviously your announcements do have to use the major “buzz-words” and I very well understand that your descriptions of features need to look good from a PR-perspective (and therefore be short to read at a glance) however there is usually a major lack of detail on the negatives of an update (such as audio privacy, advertisement standards, or even silent-updates to the community standards, etc). It’s rarely mentioned how some games / developers may be affected by the change and if so, any solutions if applicable, there obviously isn’t time to go into specific use-cases to catch everyone’s different scenario however I do feel that the current absence of detail creates uncertainty in the developer community over updates.
That may seem like a grasp off-topic (since it’s more about about announcements rather than a roadmap) however to pull this all-together, on the new roadmap we see the following:
This is incredibly vague, will any further-protections be implemented before this release? Will I have to worry about my prized Roblox accessory that has a high-RAP / sentimental value being re-uploaded with minor-differences? I understand if this can’t be stated yet (or hasn’t yet been finalised) however this uncertainty just makes it more scary than relieving to see that this feature is coming.

I’m surprised that there are no better plans for the cloud side, such as group management, since they announced that they was working on it.

If you give me external script editors I will give you infinite games. No more friction

No news on public marketplace audio?
It has been one of the major updates I’ve been waiting to be re-introduced

This is part 1 of a 4 part roadmap. Cloud work as relates to groups will be covered in part 3.

I’m all for the increased transparency with the community, and this roadmap is cleaner than ever before!
Can’t wait to see the details for these! Audio APIs and asset privacy had problems for a long time.
Though I have a question, which protections are there going to be for the “Community-led Marketplace”? Will anyone be able to create very similar items to very valuable accessories easily and potentially scam other users? What about copyright? Recently many UGC creators have been pushing out copyrighted or very similar items to the limited items. If marketplace creation becomes available to all users, will there be an increase for items such as these?

I am looking forward to many updates!
It’s also nice that Roblox is adding things to help Developers grow a community!
I have also see people talk about making it so anyone can upload to the UGC catalog, but I also see the term “creator” which I feel it’s very open. What I can at least can say that it isn’t going to be an everyday random Robloxian. (From what I know)
Thanks Roblox!

Glad to see the Roblox Creator Roadmap page which aims to announce the next news.
BUT I am very very worried about what you announced about the accessories marketplace.
I would like to be very clear with you, this is a dangerous idea.
You should not release it to the public, because there are too many bugs and problems to solve now. It will destroy the value of accessories coming from Roblox board.
I am in the UGC program and I can tell you that there are communication problems with the dev relationship, for my part I have two accessories out of 20 that I uploaded that have bugs.
One is forgotten since 2 weeks, the other is completely corrupted (looks like approved but is unstable, you can be scammed and not getting the item. it doesnt always show up in game).
There is nobody to help me to solve. Roblox Support doesn’t help with anything related to UGC.
This is not normal, many UGC Creators have to reupload several times a same item because moderators forgot to approve.
Also, imagine the malicious people who will abuse the Marketplace to upload copyrighted and NSFW accessories.
Because yes, you can hide NSFW by dividing an accessory in several parts. This is already the case for many clothes. Please don’t release it to the public, it will take several more years at this rate to solve our problems.

This is essentially my sentiment. It’s great that Roblox is acknowledging the communication problems and I thank them for that, but I’ll really start to cheer when I see the effects from this, not the words.
Definitely going to participate in this! While this roadmap is a start, there are still a lot of unaddressed issues that I think should be brought up that Roblox has not acknowledged in any way, e.g. plugin / UGC marketshares. Hopefully it leads to productive conversations!

UGC going public is going to be absolute chaos. Everyone being given the power to upload to the marketplace will result in nothing else but constant rule breaking and overall bad quality items. There are going to be blatant stolen assets, NSFW & copyrighted items, fake dominus as well as other rare Roblox limiteds/items being put on the catalog. While I respect the transparency, I don’t see this as being any good at all and UGC going public solves no problems, it makes more problems. There is no benefit.
Other than that, the other changes seem really good, especially global wind and the full release of code assist.

Question about Faster Play-testing, shouldn’t it depend on the computer? Because Roblox experiences load at like 3.07 seconds and I have a pretty decent internet and computer.

Will this be available to everyone?

This is a horrible idea; even with an ID-verified threshold, users will be uploading dominuses, and Valkyrie helms left and right; we will even see Youtube Tutorials popup with bypasses to upload such items. Even with the understanding the item will get deleted, this is not a good idea at all; we’ve seen what happened with the ID-verified threshold back with the VC release, and the catalog/limited economy will be destroyed entirely.
We really need some more information of how this will work and what the plan is.
