I don’t think so because imagine 14 year olds work at this…
Not all young people are complete idiots, some can be professional at the right times.

So I got 2 questions that aren’t stated in the FAQ.
- regarding applying as a team, do all of the team members need to apply with the same game or can this be done in a batch? Clarification in this would be nice.
- The program lasts 12 weeks (3 months) how would this timespan be used in regards of timezones? assuming that everyone has to adjust to the given timzone whichever that might be.
Would love to have these answered for both me and the current team I’m in as none of us are certain about either one of these or both questions!

This is probably due to Legal reasons not because of immaturity and incompetency; and you do not want to mess with Childlabor laws , this is an Internship not a Summer camp.

Do all developers of the dev team have to be 18+ or only the owner?
All participants must be 18+ years old.

I think a great idea would to add a topic where others can find people looking to join a team.
On a side note: I’m looking for a 3D modeler and an animator for my team. If you don’t have a team, want to apply, and specialize in these skills, hit me up through the dev-forums or my twitter, @thunder1222rblx!

I do understand the reasons, but that doesn’t make it not disappointing.

That’s really a great opportunity for everyone, regardless of their origin area!
Sadly I’m not 18 yet (not even closely…), but when I’ll be 18 I’ll make sure to apply!

Surprised that there is no dedicated post for those looking to compile a team this time.
I do not think they have to claim copyright on the site they already own. I am no expert in the matter, but I doubt they would not let you cash out your creation.
Good luck!

For copyright I mean like if I create a game with characters or art assets such as drawings or textures does my team get to own the rights to them? The site stuff like the blocks and engine and stuff still belong to Roblox of course.

Good luck to all applying and commiserations to anyone under 18 at the time, I’m sure there will be plenty of opportunity in the future.
If there are any 3D modelers without a team to apply with, we’re looking for one here: [CLOSED] Looking for 3D Modeler!

AFAIK, and I’m happy to be corrected on this, usual rules apply as far as UGC copyright where have creative rights to anything you’ve created and can DevEx the same way.

Question about the program (unsure if I’ve asked this last year or not).
So @Spathi are seriously considering applying, but he’s enrolling in university this Fall and does not know his schedule yet. I’ve heard horror stories about previous accelerators trying to juggle heavy uni schedules with the program’s schedule.
If we were to apply (and theoretically get accepted), is there a timeframe for us to drop out of the accelerator program in the event his schedule this Fall is too busy? If his schedule isn’t too busy, great, we can participate in the program. If not, we’d need to drop out.
Would really appreciate a response to this, we’re looking to apply but we’re unsure of how busy we’ll be this Fall and thus need a fallback plan.

What time does the accelerator program itself start? My team is wanting to start on a new project, but we also just released one last week and will be focused on updates for that project. So a time frame on when the accelerator itself will take place would be helpful.

Would a portfolio still be searched for even though I didn’t submit one? Just got curious a bit.
You will receive an Offer for the program in mid-late July. It is up to you whether or not you accept this offer. I added a FAQ associated with doing the program while in College, as well.

Hi!
I’m an existing accelerator, but for people applying to this program, I think it would be useful to be transparent about what Roblox is looking for in a quality team.
Would Roblox be able to shed some light on what Roblox is looking for on both a personal level, a team level, and on a project level?
