It’s awesome to see this sort of interactivity between Roblox and it’s community, keep it up! All the new features and the fast pace of them rolling out is lovely and are making the workflow of Roblox more modern. Working with Roblox Studio is so much nicer than it was a few years ago :smile:.

Now onto the questions:

There’s seems to be a bug with the Parent and/or Adornee property of Highlights, if you set them from one instance to another, it can cause the highlight to apply to unintended instances. I thought this would’ve been fixed when the selection improvements released as I’m assuming that uses a Highlight and this issue may have been encountered, but apparently not. Is this a known bug? I’ll try to get some example places setup to show this bug.

The Developer Awards program was slowly rolled back, and has been mentioned to be returning by the lead of the program Gmama with the expectation of an update about it’s state in the coming weeks, however it’s been two months and there’s only silence. Is there any chance some sort of update could be made about what’s going on and why it’s been delayed so much?

And finally, here’s a quick-fire list of broad points I’ve gathered:

  • Look into allowing variable voxel size for Terrain, voxel sizes smaller than 4x4x4 would allow terrain to blend more easily with maps made with BaseParts.

  • Add better ways to read information from sounds (and not just on the client), the only current property is PlaybackLoudness which is a unitless scale. Information such as decibels, hertz, BPM, etc, would be much more useful data to work with.

  • Add a built in function for evaluating a value at a specified time in a ColorSequence and NumberSequence, using a custom function is cumbersome and slow.

  • Maybe add math.lerp(a, b, x) for convenience sake. The :Lerp() function already exists for many data types, but having math.lerp would also allow individual numbers to be lerped too without having to make a custom function with the equation (a + (b - a) * x) each time.

  • Remove ‘Restart Studio’ prompt for changing studio settings that don’t require a restart.

  • Allow FaceControls properties to be editable by scripts to allow procedural animation of faces (not just pre-made animations).

  • Make variants for accessories so re-skins can be bundled together rather than being displayed as individual accessories in the Avatar Store. This should help reduce clutter and discounts could be applied if a user purchases the entire bundle rather than just the base accessory.

  • Add permission ‘View group funds’ to groups to allow members with certain roles to see group without needing to give spending permission or make them public to everyone.

  • Make characters move along with BaseParts affected by AlignPosition, if they are standing on them (Works with legacy BodyPosition).
