Hey there, thank you for answering our questions, I will leave my questions below in more replies!
Q1:
I wanted to ask, related to upcoming road-map features, are there any plans to bring the accessory placement and scaling, to more categories? (eg neck, back, waist)
What progress is being made to make it safer and easier to run untrusted, user-generated (in experience, ie, scripting games), Luau code inside experiences without the need to rely on the deoptimising and deprecated functions loadstring and setfenv.
I’m mostly interested in the work being done on server authority. This will be massive for preventing cheats in games. Are there any further details you can share on this at this time, such as timelines, API details, et cetera?
Anything you can share about how this will work would be awesome!
Question regarding free UGCs: Are there any plans to change per-unit fees for free UGC limiteds? We were promised about this almost a year ago and no changes at all… Opening up Marketplace to More Creators
About a year ago the Roadmap had a update planned in which reports of users would be properly replied to about the status of the report or as Manuel called it “close the loop with reporters” ever since then the point has been removed from the roadmap.
Has the plan to show users status of their reports been cancelled or is this still planned for the future?
Will there be any updates on the body scale requirements? I know the minimal scaling is basically the size of a 1.0 avatar with 0% body scale but it would be cool if there was a bit of leverage on making slightly shorter avatars (shorter by like .5 or .75)
will the Roblox moderation will get improved or overhauled soon ? , the system is doing pretty bad lately with proofs and that made Roblox an untrusted platform for parents and it even got banned in turkey so it is very clear that Roblox must do something to fix the moderation system before getting in more troubles.
will the Roblox recommendation algorithm stops recommending me low quality games that i have never played ? , the recommendation algorithm is very bad at the moment i do not know what improvements Roblox is talking about , the recommendation algorithm is a big part of Roblox it controls how new players see the platform and how much users engage , currently if any one create a new account and open the home page it recommends low quality games that have no effort put into it and let games that their creators worked hard on them die , Roblox must take action to fix the recommendation algorithm if it wants more real users and current users to engage even more
that is all and i hope Roblox get my message to improve their moderation and recommendation algorithm and thanks for reading.
Now there is a great demand for direct access to the shader engine. Has this topic been raised and are there any plans to implement the creators’ need for a customizable shader engine? This would make the visual component of roblox billions of times more diverse. The latest update with the new editable Mesh and Editable Image APIs has expanded access to the engine. But they don’t provide the full range of features as a shader engine and lighting.
