Creations Page Public Beta 🤭

Loggkat · November 2, 2020, 9:47pm

This is a nice rework of a website that was very little changed since I joined in 2013.

I, however, have a lot to add. Bear with me for this.

1. We still don’t have a search bar.

This feature has been requested countless times on Platform Feedback. I really support this, even if for now I don’t see myself using it that much, it will certainly be helpful for users who go back to older projects a lot either for assets or scripts…
This wouldn’t have been a big problem if we could set a page number, and then search with CTRL + F, something which brings me to the next point.

2. Find in Page returns inconclusive

This screenshot sums it all…

I looked up with CTRL+F in Firefox the words “Map Test”, and only one of the 2 games next to each other with this keyword in their titles returned as found. I’m not exactly sure, but I think the new interface in general has issues with Find in Page. Think it will be really useful to have this working by the time of the release.

3. Where exactly is Library?

Library is nowhere to be seen in the new Creations page, alongside buttons for DevEx and Premium Payouts. I can see a custom page for DevEx and Premium Payouts, but I can also sadly see the discontinuation of the library page and moving to the Roblox Toolbox My problem with this is for audio. Whenever any copyrighted sound is published with any name, Roblox replaces it with something similar to the audio content copyright free, but keeps the name. This leads to looking up “x Sound” to get a sound effect for my game and being greeted with 200 Roblox songs. My fix for this was the Library, but it seems as it’s missing from the new version.

4. Translator Portal

Not really a big user of this feature, but as Roblox wishes to go into separate markets around the world, and with Active Translation not coming in the forseeable future, it’s recommended that you don’t forget about this one, and that you even add onto it and improve it!

5. News Bar

This is actually a suggestion I’d love to see.
If I log on to work on a game in the morning, I’d like to see if any new announcements have been done on the developer forum. This could work in the fashion that blog posts are shown by BTRoblox.

2 or 3 newest headlines would be nice, maybe some first few works too! Seems as we have some space to work with.

Hope this helps, and that maybe you’ll get a few ideas for the Dashboard from me.
As a nostalgic person, seeing the last page that was the same all my time on the platform go will not be easy

(Edit: Sorry for replying to that one person.)

Would be nice if it was following the Roblox.com style guide. Something like this:

By the way, the circles are placeholders for the icons

Wasn’t it already redesigned ages ago? Idk if Roblox will proceed with doing that again.

I have no words for this. This is out of this world! Amazing isn’t even enough to describe it. Over the years, the website has been getting a lot of updates, but the Creator and Library page always seemed off. Now, this has finally changed. This is a truly amazing interface that I do not think I will ever get bored of. I have no words for this. Of course, as mentioned by other users as well, implementing a search bar would be a great feature, but so far, this is amazing by itself. I am happy about the Creations page getting an update, and I cannot wait for the Manage feature which will be coming in the future. No words. You did an amazing job on this!

One question though. Are you going to implement this on the actual website itself, or are you just going to redirect futures to a separate website when the click on the “Create” button? (Judging from the current design, it would look like it would fit a separate page, but I would assume that you want to have it all in one website, so I am not entirely sure which one you are going for)

Archive is already a live feature. I personally have used it on some of the games that I do not want anymore in order to get them off my Games list and make it a bit cleaner. If you are referring to something else, then I apologize for the misunderstanding, otherwise, archive is already a feature, not only on places, but on audios as well, and probably other things as well.

Cleetaros · November 3, 2020, 3:04pm

I’m noticing this Archive Button, how do I archive things?

Archive has been a feature for a while now. From what I remember:

You go to studio and hover over on any game.

Then click the three dots at the top right of the game.

Then click “Archive” and that’s how you archive stuff.

Can someone tell me if you can do it in a different way?

762_CGE · November 3, 2020, 9:13pm

almost useless you cant even fully interact with things, like you can’t manage anything just brings you to the old place

Cyxevi · November 3, 2020, 9:49pm

Very nice design. It would be nice if the main website followed the same theme or vice versa.

5bind · November 4, 2020, 4:37am

I know I made some requests in my last post, but I wanted to make a new one with new requests.

I would like to have a search bar to find games/assets, and add to the quick access side bar, the Developer Exchange page (DevEx) page, a way to the API site, and also Roblox Help.

Maybe in a different area/areas, ya’ll could include a link to the develop page.

That’s all, great update, will be using!

(Edit): And maybe on the the develop page there could be a link to the create page.

zachary108181 · November 4, 2020, 7:33pm

Ok I have a one question, Will Roblox be removing the library or will it be moved to another side tab?

zachary108181 · November 4, 2020, 7:35pm

and will there be a shortcut to edit games like the old one?

Esiduff · November 5, 2020, 5:30am

It does look fantastic! But you can’t really do anything and it doesn‘t show my group-games

XanderReborn · November 5, 2020, 12:38pm

Press the arrow pointing down in the top left corner by your Roblox character and you can select group games.

kinightgaming2 · November 5, 2020, 4:05pm

Thank you for this update. The new creator page design looks amazing. Roblox keep the good work

Stickpuppet · November 5, 2020, 5:54pm

I love it a lot! Keep up the good work!

AD4M_4DAM · November 5, 2020, 5:56pm

Great Update, keep it up staff

[color=“597a94”]OPINION[/color]

I kind of still prefer the oldie style of the develop page due to its simplicity and my familiarity with the entire layout. It does have bugs that haven’t been fixed in a long time but it can usually be dealt with easily. On the beta website, there’s no sign of the library, DevEx, or Premium payouts page. Will there be an option to turn on the light theme? I’m not a big fan of the high contrast between the dark background and the bright icons for my games. The text is hard to read as there’s alot of games appearing on a single page and I advise layout modes so we can switch back to the classic game list layout.

[color=“597a94”]BENEFITS[/color]

While I’m not quite sure what to make of this update to the develop page, it does have its obvious benefits. The new style is much more sleek and modern, and fits in with the rest of the roblox website. That doesn’t necessarily mean good according to my taste, but I think alot of other people will like this…

[color=“597a94”]CONCLUSION[/color]

The update definitely isn’t ready for release, and needs alot of changes and planning before it replaces the develop page. I must say, I will miss it, and if possible, I would like an option to be able to use the old develop page.

MegaSpaghett · November 6, 2020, 1:54am

It would awesome if this was inside of studio, and searching models when updating an existing would be awesome.

uhTeddy · November 6, 2020, 4:18am

I’m not sure how I feel about this. I feel like a lot of the options which I, and many other developers, enjoy are not featured in the redesign. Yes, I do enjoy the sleeker design, along with dark mode, however, It’s just very full, I feel like there could’ve been a lot more that could’ve been added with the space available. The main thing is the new UI just doesn’t feel or fit the rest of the website. I feel like every new page that is redesigned on the website is always a step ahead of the previous redesign causing it to just not fit with each other.

That being said, I’m going to assume, like always, that I’m going to get used to it. This happens with ultimately every update (like the robux icon) to the site.

There is one rule however, these options must be available otherwise I will riot.

That’s all.
