As far as I’m aware, you will have sessions with Roblox employees where you can be given feedback on your project and the direction you are taking it in as well as feedback from fellow accelerators, though this goes both ways with regards to giving platform feedback to Roblox - this is why it is usually done in-office and why timezone’s are an issue.

Not sure I understand this question. So the owner would be a part of the program, but someone else would be the team leader? If that is correct, then yes, this is fine.

I have a couple more questions if you’d be able to answer:
Could we have some more clarification regarding the positions we can fill in our team:
-
More specifically, who would be considered apart of the development team (People who are working daily on the game and receive a stipend)
-
Are there any specific constraints that an elevator pitch or description of game plans have?
People participating in the program should be working on the game full-time. If someone would not have 40 hours of work a week for 3 months, they would not be full-time, thus they should not be a participant for the program.
If someone doesn’t fall in said full-time bucket, this doesn’t mean you shouldn’t work with them! It just means we aren’t offering them a spot in the program.
For an elevator pitch, imagine you get in an Elevator with Builderman, CEO of Roblox. You have from Floor 1 to Floor 3 to get him interested in your game. In as few words as possible, you need to sell your game.

It is USD. Its sort of like a paid internship.

Question: Since “a builder and programmer must apply” requirement isn’t listed here as it’s always been, can we apply without a programmer and just outsource one?
Anyone who has tasks that must be completed for the game to ship and be functional must be a part of the program (typically a programmer and builder). Not including this was an oversight, and I will revise the OP.

Because there’s still no place to find others looking to joins teams, I’ll post this here.

So unlucky! I turn 18 in October, I’m so bummed out.
Next time. Is there going to be a next time, anyways?
Good luck to the applying people!

Don’t worry, only have to wait 6 years. Funny, don’t you think? Anyone can be a developer.
I honestly am dissappointed at how much ROBLOX focuses their program to the 18+ auidence.
Many developers are young, and they know alot and have fun scripting. It’s sad to ROBLOX focus most of their programs, accelerators and etc. to the 18+ auidence.
I would love to attend but can’t because of my age.
ROBLOX should focus their programs to the auidence that is also below 18 years of age.

Firstly, Roblox* not “ROBLOX”.
Secondly, Roblox by law cannot bring minors in; the accelerator program is a full time, multiple week program which emulates AAA game development, you just can’t replicate that in a program designed for children.

There’s legal reasons for it being an 18+ only program. For 1, it’s a full time work load (40 hours a week) which someone under 18 (ie still in school) cannot possibly find time to do. It’s also a paid internship. Be breaking all kinds of laws employing children.

Oh, right. My bad.

I always spell “Roblox” with capital letters. It’s like my way of telling it’s me.

I’m unsure if I am allowed to ask this question, but would interviews be conducted with the whole team or just the team leader? Thanks.

Hello, I had a few questions also,
- Some of my team members are concerned about being “locked in” to this and are unsure of when exactly this starts, can you tell me the exact date and time of when the internship begins?
- Can you tell me if I am able to remove and add team members in between the time of me submitting the application and the internship starting?
- I currently have multiple games, and we have multiple ideas, are you comfortable with us submitting them all on the application, and letting the people who review our application decide which one we should work on?
Thank you very much for helping me, have a wonderful day!
