I’m still very confused on why Roblox decided to make a whole different sub-domain when they could’ve just updated the old create page. Everything aside, its pretty cool.

For curiosity’s sake, why are the “Avatar Shop” display titles inconsistent across the main roblox.com website & the create.roblox.com subdomain? The main site used “Catalog” for what, 13 years? And still uses catalog in the URL to this day. Then changed to “Avatar Shop”, told it would be reverted, never did. Then in February this year it went from “Avatar Shop” to “Marketplace”. Now, mid April of 2023, only been a couple months, it gets changed back to “Avatar Shop” and we get a new tab in the Create page named “Marketplace”.
I hate to sound rude, but can we make up our mind here? Maybe sync a single name across the entirety of the Roblox platform?
Thanks!

This is a good change but you guys archived the OG developer page when the main one is still lacking. It has bad UX and is super inconsistent and still lacks tons of features!!! You guys removed search filters, lol 
categories won’t fix this

I agree. I don’t understand why they seperated creator pages. I think that It would be fun if the marketplace just had stuff mixed but ordered with proper consistency

It has existed for ages now. This entire post is about the new home page for the creator marketplace, making it simular to Roblox Studios toolbox.

This is another step forward for consistancy!
I do think there are some issues with the catagories in this interface though.
For example, the essential category has some random things in it.
The first two rows are fine. All things that developers could use in most of their experiences.
The next two rows are more problematic though.
A ripped asset from doors, a McDonald’s Restaurant, Jeff the Killer. A sword. Magic Carpet, Speed Coil and Gravity Coil dispensers.
The next two rows also don’t get any better.
Or the rest really.
It just seems odd that these all (seem to be) classed as essientals.
Although if I recall these were still issues when this home page was introduced into studio.
Also a bit of an unrelated question, but will we ever see the Creator Hub design get ported over to the main website. Kinda like this theme I made fairly recently? It’s just something I would enjoy to see for consistancy.

This is for developers, a developer would not need to use a Mobile device to get models they want.

Aren’t we all developers the last time I checked? This is a developer forum after all.
These sites SHOULD be optimised for mobile use. For example, I might come across a cool plugin on the DevForum when browsing on my phone, and I might buy it through my phone, downloading it later on.
Roblox has not made enough effort for mobile support across the entire create.roblox.com site as it is.

There needs to be real communication on why this is placed on a subdomain and not the main site. It’s extremely confusing and as a developer, clicking too many buttons to get to basic places doesn’t make any real sense.
Outside of that, nice update.

It’s most likely to seperate the creator and the regular user experience. It would also stop little 6 year old timmy from getting sad because a link in a TikTok or something for free headless (which leads to a decal on the Creator Marketplace) is a scam.
The previous link for the Creator Marketplace assets was www.roblox.com/libray/id if I’m correct. It isn’t clearly marked as a development asset, unlike create.roblox.com/marketplace. Thats just my guess though, we might just never know. 
Make it so developers can sell assets for real currency and earn 100% of the revenue after payment processing fees. Roblox should not try to profit off assets. More revenue to developers means more developers create higher quality assets, more developers creating higher quality games with those assets, attracts more players to more games and gets those players to spend which is where Roblox profits.
Use the same invite only system as UGC to prevent copying

Wouldn’t it mean more Low-Effort Assets to gain more money?
I understand your point, but if you think in terms of ease, then this is good. Sure roblox.com/ is an excellently easy way to browse, but think of it like Google. They did the exact same thing and it’s fairly easy to remember. As long as Roblox doesn’t make their subsite unnecessary then I am fine with it. (Also if Roblox will make everything accessible inside their user interface, that would be amazing @Roblox)
The biggest problem is that kids who insert/publish the doors assets get auto scanned and banned. It’s happened to my cousin. Kids can’t DM @Lightning_Splash for permission.
Will there be a light theme? The dark theme is hard on my eyes.
I don’t see your comparison with google.
If google made more subdomains, then they are already forgotten.
I don’t remember any big changes lately with google.
An example is docs.google.com it’s pretty easy to remember! I believe talent.roblox.com is the same. It’s easy to remember and has a clean link. It’s nearly impossible to keep a website looking nice without there being multiple (rotalent.com, I don’t know if that’s real don’t click on it!)
Docs are just a subdomain of drive, that was first. And they never got it more popular than that.
People mostly use My Disk (drive) Because it’s better and has an overview of all documents and other subdomains that Google has on your account.
https://drive.google.com/
The other link you sent is irrelevant because it leads nowhere.
talent.roblox.com - Never seen anyone really use it, or even heard of it.
This is why embedding tings into the main site is the only way to drive people to really “use” a thing.
