We’re back with our monthly recap after another busy month for the Developer community. Whether you were away for Spring break or have been paying close attention to the Developer forum, you’ll want to read this overview and keep up with the latest news:
Events
In March, we experienced an event that received special support from our community. The Pizza Party event allowed players to receive special rewards for participating- the requirement was to enter a participating game where everyone would have a pizza launcher and hit each other with the pizzas! Sounds fun right? There where special launchers for developers and the Roblox team that would provide players hit with special and unique rewards! This event received so much participation that you can even see pictures in Twitter of our team launching pizzas. A large variety of games participated in this event, here is the list:
The type of reward you could win depended on the type of launcher you where hit with. We had 4 different launchers, Blue for the developers, Green for the employees, Pink for the influencers, and Purple for the community. By participating, you could have received the following prizes:
- Employee: Disco Helmet: 2906897010
- Pinata Hat: 2906898428
- Developers: Pizza Mohawk: 2906905230
- Princess Party Hat: 2906906446
- Influencer: Purple Party Afro: 2906907393
- And the GRAND PRIZE: Melon Wings: 2906907990
Congratulations to all the user who won and hopefully you all enjoyed it!
