Why isn’t a staff member giving us some form assurance that this may or may not come.

I support this, hoping to see it become a feature we, as a developer, desperately need.

This was confirmed 3 years ago, let’s finally make it so.

I love this idea and the concept art you did @Expressor looks amazing!

Would be awesome to make updates with icons next to title.
It would look so proffessional having everything collected in one place!

MAN! Am I hyped about this now!! :smiley:

Most liked thread on the DevForum? Holy moly we better be getting this then. Really need it, and so do others. The game title and description are not appropriate locations to house update logs.

As a ROBLOX user it is currently hard to get players attention when there is an update that has been issued.

So here is what a lot of developers do right right now
EX:

[UPDATE!]Roblox HQ

Why should we have to almost cut off our games name in order to announce an update :thinking:(it happens)

Now here is my solution:

We do have some free space on our games page(where you click play at) and I propose another button.
When this button is pressed it will lead to another page that allows us to type a small message informing what has been done to the game to all who favorites it(a better use for favorites :wink:).

I’m really sorry if I didn’t really give enough detail just ask me questions and I will reply.

Idea came from looking at @ScriptOn’s tweet about needing a better way to inform players instead of changing the game’s name.

My only question is why did you post that here…

It got merged over from another thread

^he got it

Would be nice if Discourse had a feature or something in-place that lets you know if something is merged. Lol.

There could also be little symbols accompanying the alert, like a white exclamation mark surrounded by a red background when the update is big (to really catch the player’s attention). Developers could choose the “largeness” of the update! :smiley:

So something like how in semantic versioning you have a Patch, Minor, and Major? I’d be all for different tiers to provide more attention to larger ones and less attention to smaller ones.

I don’t know what semantic versioning is, but yeah, basically different levels of “hugeness”. :stuck_out_tongue:

Hey all, this has been a feature for quite a while on my fabrick extension, already a few big developers have been using it to update users.

Right now I feel the changelog area is not easily accessible on the site for developers, Im looking at a better way of accessing it.

Not only do the updates display on a feed, it also will send users chrome notifications anytime a changelog is posted.
