Developer Awards! Phase 2: Virtual Items

Anything before 2018 is fine. Just wait a little longer.

You have to download the Excel spreadsheet from the Data Export tab of your game’s stats to see MAU. MAU is monthly active users, which is the number of unique players who played your game during the month.

Where you get MAU numbers from:
Stats

You cannot determine MAU from the graph like the one below, because these are visits which is a count of total number of player joins. These are not unique users; if one person plays your game 1000 times in March, that counts as 1000 visits, but only counts as 1 towards MAU. So MAU numbers are generally a lot lower than monthly visits, but there is no way to calculate or even reliably estimate one from the other.

These charts are visits (player joins), not MAU:
Visits

No one here can tell you what your game qualifies for based on seeing your visits graphs, because the awards are based on MAU.

What does MAU mean? I’m confused lol

Is only the gold crown awarded right now?

I have around 100k MAU, but only got the gold crown.

I recently got qualified for Gold Crown, (yay), and I would also like to share this fortune with the contributors of my game. However, I am not really sure to what extent should i consider one a contributor. For example, more than half of my contributors are more of a QA testers than an actual developer of game. I am very thankful to their contribution to find bugs, bring up ideas, and overall motivate me to push through, but I am not entirely sure of if they are eligible of it. Thank you for any clarifications :smiley:

I’ve noticed this too, you will get it eventually they are rolling it in phases.

Yes it depends on you, who you choose to get the award.

I would assume so, I had 22k MAU so I should be getting Audurite and Bombastic, however I have only received golden as of right now.

So based on my game analytics, it states that my game has over 230K+ MAU, but I only get the DM from developer relation about the 100+ MAU virtual items.

Is this a bug?

ye maybe roblox is sending golden crown to 90% of the devs even if they have more MAU.

so its a bug we need to report to roblox.

I am still interested in private games which were closed recently. Are they also qualified for the crowns?

is there a bug? i had over 100k mau and i only got the gold crown are they doing it step by step?

So I recently got contacted, and was asked to fill out the survey. I already got the gold one, but I qualify all the way up to Sparkletime. I waited a few days to see if I would get the others, but nothing. While reading the survey, I was met with this…

Why do we need to enter our full name to recieve a virtual item? I really don’t see the reason.

I have multiple group games that are eligible for various hats that were contributed on by many different developers.

The Survey asks to state what hats your game is eligible for in order to award those developers the same award as the owner, however, the message sent in our roblox inbox does not specify. There is no way to tell what specific game the reward is related to.

Any chance Roblox could add this clarification to the automated messages that are being sent out? This seems like a major oversight.

Too bad this was only applied recently, probably would have gotten the Bombastic or the Adurite one before, but very nice nonetheless

These crowns need to be repositioned… they’re not centered on the head.

Another simple question i want to answer is if the MAU stacks up, or is it calculated monthly (duh)? Like, do i need 100K MAU in ONE month for the crown or something?

I believe it’s based on your game’s month with the highest MAU.

Take this example:
• January: 110K MAU
• February: 273K MAU
• March: 74K MAU

Your highest MAU for the game is 273K (February), so you’ll get the following awards:
• Gold (100)
• Bombastic (1K)
• Adurite (10K)
• Sparkle Time (100K)

If you happen to get 1.5M MAU in June, then you’ll be on queue to get Black Iron.
