Putting continuous scrolling on the home page will honestly make the Discover page more pointless than ever before.
I really wish we could have the old home page back (greeting headline, continue sort, friends sort, favorites sort, statuses, latest blog posts), but of course, we don’t and they won’t.
Edit: We DO need continuous scrolling, just not on the home page, but rather when you hit “see all”.
All these sorts still exist (the friends playing sort removal has not hit my account yet) but were also part of the old home page layout prior to 2018 (I think the favorites sort was above friend activity back then).
Hey there - just want to clarify that when it comes to notifications, spam protection and safety is our top priority. That said, notifications on Roblox always respect user preferences. Note that push notifications are just one notification channel - alongside the in-app notification stream and soon real-time in-app notifications.
As developers, you will need to get permissions from users to receive notifications from your experience, similar to how apps ask you to enable notifs when you first install them. After you configure notifications via the upcoming Notifications API, Roblox will help route your notifications to the right audience and channel at the right time.
We will share lots more details on the new Notifications API for devs, as well as new tooling for handling notification opt-ins. Stay tuned!
Whatever change was made to discovery about 3 weeks ago has severely damaged our games while boosting our games in our genre without any clear reason as to why.
Our games CCU has pretty much been chopped in half despite none of our key metrics changing one bit (playtime, retention or monetization), while other games in our genre with much worse metrics are being promoted more then us.
This game here has much more players then us despite our playtime being 100% better then theirs (6 minutes vs our 12 minutes), how does this make sense?
If you could provide a reason why we in particular are being kneecapped while other games with worse statistics are being promoted more then us, that’d be great.
Would we be able to gate these non-root place joins with things such as gamepass or badge ownership (or even datastores) to still allow for this behavior?
Would love to have players directly bypass a lobby / level select root place as long as they have the proper requirements to do so.
You’d be better off learning Spanish. Auto localization in its current state is hot garbage. I used to correct those for developers for a living so I’ve seen the capabilities and limitations of it.
This would be very good for the communities since there are several roblox rp groups separated in their languages and they don’t share almost any communication between them. Actually having an automatic way of translation to communicate with people outside our language would be very good.
This way we could bring players together more and increase collaborative work in the games with almost no communication errors.
On the bottom of the page, where it says “join the community”, the text is way too vague as it says “join The Forum” and it is sounding like they’re saying to join the old forums. I would recommend changing it to “Join the Developer Forum” instead.
Since October, with the removal of ads for Under 13, my games had a very high drop in players since it was the Sponsors/Ads that somehow helped me to maintain the CCU and this has really discouraged me from developing.
Anything that can help in some way to recommend our games (small and medium developers), will already be a big step and I’m excited about it
Interesting. I read something about “Auto-Reconnect” and “Flexible Join Destination” on the roadmap. However I’ve seen something similar to this in an experience. Perhaps they are planning to add it for more convenience?
Thank you for sharing the latest update on the Creator Roadmap 2.1k. I appreciate the efforts being made to enhance the creator experience on Roblox. The improvements mentioned, such as discovery, matchmaking, notifications, and automatic translation, show a commitment to supporting creators and fostering a vibrant community.
