[oliwieer4 (Mathew)]

Is there a place intended to communicate about Unite and finding a group for the occassion?

[yoshicoolTV (coolyoshi)]

probably in this thread or the next ones if some are made

[xTypicalMystic (TypicalMystic)]

Okay! This sounds interesting.

Finally roblox does something unique for us developers not in the US!

[Raki3dd (Raki)]

I didn’t expect this; I thought we wouldn’t have another event like Connect 2024 until January or February. I’m very happy to hear about this new event, and I can’t wait to see what they have in store for us this time

From the name, I wonder if it will be similar to the Inspire 2024 event

[R14GENIE]

Cool, I hope it will be interesting… Time to show why France exist…

[ChillMask14]

Sure! We will release more information soon

@Celebronaut

Are you a European Roblox developer

Does this mean only European developers can join this event?

[Developth (Dev)]

Awesome. I’m glad Roblox is widening its opportunities externally to the US.

[Pish85 (rip_Zephyr)]

It’s great they’re releasing all these new events, I’m just worried they’re gonna run out of names…

[MyFirstAcc01]

Im ready to test my skills in this event! Can’t wait for more information

[lostresosostedyIII (Server)]

Finally! You have shown you care for us europeans. A big thank you to the staff that made this possible!

[V3x_ity (Vexity)]

Seems interesting, but is the Game Jam limited only for European Developers?

[GlobeBloxxer]

Hi everyone! We’ve added some clarity in the post since a lot of you are asking if this is exclusive for European creators. Although this challenge has a specific focus on Europe-based developer networking and collaboration, anyone can participate, no matter where you are from!

[V3x_ity (Vexity)]

Thanks for the clarification :^)!

[ithacaTheEnby]

Oooo, don’t usually participate in these but might give it a go this time!
