Hello Nick and Tian! Hopefully, this time my question may get answered lol.
Anyway, this time I would like to ask the same question as my previous one, which is about CoreGui.
Recently, we got an update on the Experience Controls which updates its look and function, but we still aren’t able to disable it completely or have it automatically disabled. As someone who cares about how much control I have over the UI, this concerns me.
(I made a post about this too.)
Will we ever have broader control over CoreGui? Right now for some reason, I feel like we’re being limited in many important areas, and we still don’t have the level of control that we should have already. Some areas of CoreGui like TextChatService allow for a great number of configuration options and have a great API that we can use to seamlessly integrate our systems with this part of it. And yet, we still don’t have the same thing for other areas, such as the Experience Controls and the Roblox Menu. I just want to ask again: Will we ever have more options to customize CoreGui in a way that does not create security issues?
At the end of the Creator Keynote on day 1 of RDC, progress in the area of Modesty Layers & 2D Clothing for UGC avatar bundles was briefly mentioned.
Can we get some insight of how Roblox is planning to improve the interaction between 2D Clothing and Modesty Layers on bundles, and what timelines for any update on these would be?
Are there any plans for the next gen UI to let us be able to add custom icons and layouts to the studio UI or a toggle to be able to use the current UI insted of the next gen?
With the highlights posts on our profiles, which were announced at RDC, could we expect a major Profile Page revamp? Will we also be able to post “advertising posts” on our profiles “or showcasing posts” about our work on roblox?
With the Forums feature in Groups becoming Communities, how fine-grained are you aiming for?
Will we be able to create categories, have idea voting, private threads with devs, functionality like that? Or is it really targeted at simple player-to-player communication?
With this influx of talented creators earning, are there any plans for Roblox to allow marketplace creators to be eligible for or introduce separate awards specifically for marketplace creators, similar to those already available for many years to for experience developers and star creators/influencers?
Thank you for giving us this opportunity again! For my question – will we see any new lighting effects soon? I understand concerns for performance and ensuring that the shaders can run on all devices smoothly, however I’d love to see more ‘minimal’ and widely-adopted effects such as color quantization to be added.
Due to the engine restrictions imposed to keep our development experience smooth, it’s very hard to implement such effects ourselves, without abusing existing lighting properties in ways that are not guaranteed to remain consistent as Roblox updates.
Here’s a list of missing widely-used post-processing effects that would be lovely:
With the rebranding of groups to communities, could we see a feature that allows players to find forum posts made by certain users? Either by username or keywords used in the post?
When are we going to get batch writes and/or transactions for datastoreservice?
I remember asking two years ago and the reply was due to budget constraints the engineers couldn’t justify researching it, but recent development has been made for “profiles” which quite frankly I think Roblox needs to realize that is a very useless ergonomics feature that doesn’t distinctively solve anything. Developers can implement session locks trivially, but we cannot ensure data atomicity which requires a lot of engineering effort. Roblox could save developers and players a lot of money by shipping a robust system in place to aid the implementation of trading systems.
Will the new parties system announced at rdc24 will we also get a better privacy settings page? Perhaps more options, like allowing who can make a party with us, allowing us to change who can invite us to team create, marking users as best friends or changing settings individually for each friend? allowing them to invite us to parties while others cannot?
When can we expect to hear more news regarding Avatar Auto-Setup using Partially Complete models and modesty layers being required or not when using Classic Clothing?
In the Opening Keynotes, it was mentioned that there are efforts to making Search and Discovery more transparent for experience creators. Will this be extended for the avatar marketplace as well? (e.g. search, relevancy, and recommendations)
