Oi!

Any chance we’ll get to see advanced UI corner? I have been waiting for that feature.

Cheers!

Is there the potential for a skybox update and skies are getting cloudy phase 2/3 in 2025 (referring to this: Dynamic Skies Are Getting Cloudy)? I think that would be awesome.

Are there any plans for masking of any kind?

For example, excluding parts of an image, UI element, or 3D model with another image, UI element, or 3D model. I’d like this specifically for ViewportFrames as well.

The ViewportFrame example might be wanting to create a portal, but you’d want to mask the edges so that the only visible part of the ViewportFrame is within the portal area. Another example might be a custom ViewportFrame reflection with rain puddles, but only showing reflections in the puddle. There’s plenty of use-cases within normal UI as well, which would be great if this worked with CanvasGroup as well.

This question may also be related to the following:

Are there any plans to add more post processing effects? The current ones are great and all, but I think they could be better. The main I want to see is cell shading.

Thank you for your time!

Hi!

A question about the Verified Badge, we haven’t had monthly waves since October, and there were reports that the system was being reworked or improved. Is there any news on this matter? Since October, many creators have become eligible for the badge but haven’t received it due to the program’s continuous pause.

I have a question about "Custom Logging - Allowing you to pass error locations through pcalls. (2025)

If we can navigate error lines by passing pcall error locations, could this also work for thread stacks?
One of the inconveniences when scripting in Roblox is that it’s hard to trace where a thread that caused an error was originally created.

For example:

local function createError()
    error("Error!")
end

local function createErrorThread()
    task.spawn(createError)
end

createErrorThread()

Currently, the output logs look like this:

Script:2: Error! - Script:2
  Stack Begin
  Script 'Workspace.Script', Line 2 - function createError - Script:2
  Stack End"

But ideally, it should include where the thread was created, like this:

Script:2: Error! - Script:2
  Stack Begin
  Script 'Workspace.Script', Line 2 - function createError - Script:2
  Script 'Workspace.Script', Line 6 - function createErrorThread - Script:6
  Script 'Workspace.Script', Line 9 - Script:9
  Stack End

Right now, if an error occurs inside a thread, the output doesn’t log where that thread was created, making it difficult to debug.
Especially for custom signal modules, it’s hard to trace which line fired the signal with invalid arguments.

I’m not sure how pcall would pass error locations, but I hope this feature can also help track where an errored thread was originally created.

I made a feedback for it Tool doesn't have ClickDetector support, Accessories plan to hide Particle Effects when in First Person

Recently a new Studio update came out.

And there’s FFlagImprovedCursors. If you turn it on, it does change something about the cursor when equipping the tool, which isn’t good.

If such a feature gets added, it would also be cool if one can control the order of how items get put into the backpack through StarterPack. The only way is to probably unparent and parent it back. Since the order depends on something like that.

These would be cool to have, so they’re a “ready-to-with” feature. Since the Backpack is a built-in thing.

Q3:

Will anything in this suggestion be considered? These feature requests have been around for ages and most have no staff response.

Hello! I wanted to ask regarding Dynamic Heads if in the future when users buy a dynamic head version of a face if they’ll receive the classic counterpart of that face too, since I know that if you own the classic version you’ll own the dynamic version too but I was wondering if the same could be said vice-versa.

Is having a unique game name a crucial factor in a game’s success on Roblox, given that the algorithm prioritizes unique titles for traffic and visibility?

Hey everyone, thank you for all of your thoughtful questions! We will no longer be taking new questions so that we can continue answering the many we’ve received.

Thanks for joining, and see you in the next one! :slight_smile:

We’re focused on automatically detecting tampering and leveraging our platform policy system to take the appropriate action, and doing so across all platforms we support, but we are also exploring ways to give creators control and input based on what we detect. Could you share what specific things you’d like to do with a tampering signal?

Thanks for the question! We’re hard at work on server authority and aim to have an opt-in system for server authoritative avatars to help address many client-side movement exploits (e.g. speed hacks). We’re also exploring a new script type, designed to unify client and server scripts, which can be run in either location and support features like prediction/reconciliation. This script type will make building experiences simpler, leading to more secure gameplay. We expect to have more details to share with you by this summer!

Thank you for this question. mTLS support for HTTP Service is still something we are interested in, and are continuing to explore for our future roadmap. Please share any specific use cases you may have for such a feature.
