As a Roblox developer, it is currently too hard to notify my players of weekly updates.
Every week, like clockwork, I update my game Dance Your Blox Off. I am trying to also unitize the new “Game Update Notifications” feature to notify my players every week, but this has been difficult for the following reason:
When I send this notification at 9 pm Thursday night, I am unable to notify players until 9:01 the following week. If I take longer to update the game and don’t notify players until 10 pm, then I have to stay up past 10 pm the next week even if the update is done earlier. Eventually, as the time I notify players gets later and later, I will not be notifying the player until the following day.
My request is to allow us to notify players any time during the day on our 7th day regardless of the time we sent the notification the previous week, or simply allow us to post notifications every 6 days instead of 7.
If this were the case they might want to add an “unfollow” button right in the notification so it is easy to unfollow players who are spamming the feature.
This would be a really small but helpful change. I’m starting to run into the same issue as I update my game on a weekly basis - I’m having to wait later and later to send out each notification, and if I end up being late on one week’s update, it’s going to throw off all of my future update notifications until I take a break from updating for a week.
