We have been so impressed and overwhelmed by the interest that our community has shown in submitting articles for publishing on the Roblox Developer Medium https://medium.com/@RobloxDevRel. The last module, Why Roblox?, was an awesome compilation of the stories that drive our developers to create on Roblox and push the limits of what’s possible on the platform. These stories have, in turn, inspired our next module: Technologies on Roblox.
The Developer Relations team invites developers to apply to write articles on how they’ve used Roblox technology - features both old and new - to take their game or group to new heights. Here are a few examples of Roblox features that you could write about:
Future is Bright
Rthro
Game Update Notifications
Social media links
ViewportFrame
Avatar Context Menu
MessagingService
Game Localization
Any others you can think of!
Medium is a great way to gain exposure to communities outside of the Developer Community: the Medium publication is available to anyone who accesses a link to the article, goes looking for Roblox-related content, or discovers it organically! Once we publish our developers’ work on the website, the Developer Relations Team promotes these articles on the official Developer Relations Twitter and in the monthly recaps posted on the Developer Forum. These articles might also be reviewed and considered for PR opportunities.
This is a great opportunity for aspiring journalists and for developers to get their name in the spotlight.
I know personally that getting an opportunity to share your thoughts to a wider audience is really beneficial in getting your ideas across and to develop your writing skills. I’ve done some journalism work before and I’m excited to try my hand with this.
I’ll be applying my topics in hopes to reach developers and the community alike. Good luck to all those who apply!
I’ve definitely considered it in the past and I’m certainly considering it again. I’d really love to share some of my experiences on the platform or write articles about various topics relevant to developers. I may not have the greatest know-how but sometimes you don’t need the best to speak up.
I can say that writing an article for the previous topic was a great experience, and I enjoyed writing it! I’ll definitely be applying for this one if I can think of a new topic.
Do you need to write it as soon as you apply, or do you have to wait to be accepted? And if we’re accepted where would we get the notification because we were not required to put our email in???
This sounds like a awesome idea! This’s a great way to get multiple viewpoints and learn individually from all developers uses of new technology, I might even submit an article myself!
