I gotta say, I really love these new seasonal features! I think it would be awesome to have a new years event with multiple games!

Hi @Sand_BOy8 ,
Thanks for your question! As long as your game has a festive or an overall wintry theme/update, you are eligible to apply for the sort.

Hi @koaffle ,
My team is using our game Bloxikin Brawlers to apply for the Spring 2021 Accelerator Program , will this cause any issues if we apply to both this and the Accelerator program?

Hi @Kotojo ,
Thanks for reaching out! Applying for the Winter Sort will have no impact to your application for the 2021 Spring Accelerator Program.

For option number 2, do you want the root place ID or the universe ID?

I’m pretty sure you just need to copy paste the game id in your Game page’s link.

This is a terrible explanation/excuse. Why release it to a platform of small developers (DevForum) if they don’t want us in it?

KingGusPlays:
Just because they don’t put games that apply that have 0 players (Most of them did)
No, that’s not true. At all.
KingGusPlays:
It’s fine anyways, they can use sponsors, and advertisements to get their games popular.
Not the point.
KingGusPlays:
It’s so you know the games your playing have a winter theme.
This is not what this sort is for! Clearly this sort is intended to be for the small developers of the DevForum to get their game popular.

I think it’s kind of sad you think all non-front-page games are low-quality.
KingGusPlays:
Roblox knows they are going to apply, and are very quick to pick them.
The point is, they shouldn’t be.

This is awesome, but I cant help but feel this will be another failure just like the Halloween Sort.
The only games that got on there where games that did not even put ANY effort in and dont deserve to be in there.
I didn’t apply, and I’m a bit late here, but did they even acknowledge the smaller games? The majority of the games on there have over 1k+ concurrent players and were already very well known.
It’s unfair to these smaller developers, they get hope and a chance to get their game well known, and they most likely didn’t even have their game looked at, with the sort being filled with games that were already on the front page to begin with!
These smaller developers put hard work to put as much Hallo…
I feel like the staff didn’t even look at my game.
I was a bit hesitant about the birthday option, since that could be a way for them to review less applications if the developer is very young, and I am young. When I saw that my game wasn’t on the new sort, I thought it could have been a few things, like a lack of localization or support for xbox.
But I noticed that all the games on the sort were things like Spooky Simulator and Wormy. I’m starting to think that Roblox only did this for money,…
I am disappointed. Most of the games on the sort are games with 1K+ players, and not the smaller games. Give us a chance at least!
I am disappointed by the lack of communication about this. I applied with The Witching Hour Remastered, a rewrite of a game that hasn’t been playable in 7 years, which is a dedicated Halloween game, and it wasn’t added. At least something ahead of time saying that it will or will not be on the sort would have helped.

Well the new sort and live and I’m not going to try and sugar coat it, I’m disappointed.
Before anyone comes at me, the Roblox platform has full control over who gets on the sort and who does not and I respect their decision to go with the current games on the sort but a lot of these games already have tons of exposure from either being on other sorts or just naturally having a lot of players… and secondly, a lot of these games barely have Halloween content. Respectfully, how can you call this …
welp the halloween sort went live and… i am disappointed; this was the one chance for roblox to give small developers a chance and they screwed it up;
filled with copy-paste garbage or already-popular games that already are in multiple sorts
Please dont repeat the same mistake you made with the awful halloween sort.
@KingGusPlays its honestly sad that you think all non popular games are low quality.

Hey, could anyone clarify this question?
Does this mean that the game is currently set to R15? If not what does this mean?
Apologies for my inconvenience with my little understanding of the different vocabulary for the different character rigs.
Thanks!

That is just demotivating, you can’t exactly prove the games that applied was low quality.

Will we be notified if one or more of the owned games will be chosen for the Winter Sort?
