Introducing the New Lua Game Details Page

This looks nice in my opinion. I like how it’s dark since it’s more easier on the eyes. Great work from the Roblox team again!

I believe their work resumed this week, so it could take some time.

I’ve had the luxury of testing this new page. Looks great! The dark theme should really be an option for the rest of the site and app. There are only two things that could change about this page:

  1. The group social link takes you to the mobile website instead of opening the groups tab in the mobile app
  2. The same information on the game rating and number of players playing is displayed twice

AB test is back on for iOS devices! We will keep this thread updated with additional information as we continue working on this page.

When you downvote a game the arrow turns green. I think it should turn red like on the PC game page.

I like it except for one thing: Can the background be something besides this plain white Roblox logo? It looks really bad in my opinion.

It’d be extremely cool if the background changed colors depending on the thumbnail of the place. Kind of like how Spotify changes depending on the album art:

If somebody made a mock-up of that and posted it here I think that would be really cool. It’d also make the website feel a lot more immersive

Exactly this! Let developers create an expressive and vibrant landing page for their game.

Putting the Roblox logo behind everything might be taking “let the Roblox brand fade into the background” a bit too literally.

We absolutely agree. We have some awesome designs that make the page feel a lot more personal per game. Work is currently not planned as of right now.

Is this feature planned for Android as well, and if so, when will it be available for it?

There’s a bug with the follow button. After unfollowing, you can’t follow again until you reset the app. I would show a video but Discourse won’t let me upload it.

Edit:
Here’s how to reproduce it:

  1. Follow a game
  2. Reset app
  3. Open app again
  4. Go to game details page and unfollow the same game from step 1
  5. Try following again
  6. An error should appear
  7. Reset app again
  8. Go to same game from steps 1 and 4 and try following again
  9. No error should appear

I’ve been thinking about this Question for awhile now but i’m quite curious what it’ll look like on the Desktop Page?

Another thing I’ve noticed is that links are grayed out with the rest of the text and can no longer be opened.

I recently was going to down vote a game on mobile and being used to the web view, I clicked on the right side, which is now upvote instead. I did catch my mistake, but maybe this should be changed so it’s consistent?

Up should’ve always been on the right, they should just match with the rest of the site.

Looks good. On iPad or tablet though it looks a bit off, and it doesn’t fill the display like it used to. Maybe a dark theme for the app?

Even though it’s just some UI adjustment, this is still something I’ve been waiting and wanting for so long, the mobile app is finally getting a huge improvement! :+1:

Let’s hope the app runs smoother after all Lua updates are being published!

It’d be cool if it was just a blurry version of the game’s thumbnail, and it smoothly blended between different blurry thumbnails.

That would be so cool. I hope it happens!

I love how if you switch apps, rotate your device at the right times you can actually see the skybox for a frame or two

Also, another bug you can’t vote on games currently

I believe this would be helpful to avoid confusion when it comes to rating games on this new page: Mobile update: Thumbs down is the down arrow, but it turns green? Please change it to red
