Hey developers,
I know that March followed the shortest month of the year and felt like it lasted forever. Let’s keep our heads up, though! April started off on a good note and I hope that the rest of the world starts to pick up that energy too.
With that said, let’s take a look at the good stuff that came out of the past month.
Updates and Changes
New In-Game Topbar
The topbar is getting a fresh redesign! Take a look at the announcement for more information and screenshots!
Introducing Unified Game Permissions
Thanks nsgriff! Now we can give edit and play access for specific games to specific group roles and collaborators! Check out the announcement for more information.
Emulation - New Custom Device Manager
Mimicry is the highest form of flattery! That phrase doesn’t really apply here, but it’s the first thing that came to my mind. You can now create and edit custom devices for testing your games in Roblox Studio! Get the exciting details in the announcement.
Introducing the Learn & Explore sort
Some beautiful, buff elf announced that there’s a new Learn & Explore sort, emphasizing educational experiences on Roblox. Read the announcement to learn (get it? haha coefficients you’re so funny) more!
The Script Editor
Straight to the point! This announcement is about the script editor. Not much has changed - yet - but there’s a few bug fixes and stuff. The announcement has more info!
Object Insertion Workflow Improvements [Live!]
He strikes again, that nsgriff guy! He presented us with some really cool updates to object insertion in Studio. Go look at the announcement, it’s full of neat screenshots and descriptions.
Introducing Plugin HTTP Permissions
Now you can allow or deny plugins’ HTTP requests! Nice! I don’t want to steal the thunder from the actual announcement, so take a look at that for more.
Configure Group and Create Group now on Mobile
Yup.
Removing Outlines
We’re going to be getting rid of Outlines in the coming weeks. The announcement contains an explanation of the reasoning and logistics of this decision.
Introducing ShreddedPotat0!
An unlikely alliance and an unfortunate scuffle with a hook-wielding pirate brought ShreddedPotat0 to our team in March. Read her origin story and join us in welcoming her in the announcement!
Notice about RDC 2020
This isn’t exactly good news, but it’s extremely important. While events around the world are being cancelled for the coming months, we have made the decision to continue with RDC 2020 online. Completely digitally. There are more details headed your way in the coming weeks. We’re as disappointed as you are that we won’t get to see you all in July, but your safety is our absolute top priority.
Release Notes
This is where I would put a witty joke about numbers… IF I HAD ONE!
I hope you’re all staying safe and healthy. April has started off strong!
Here’s a question for you: what music have you been listening to while stuck at home?
Also, happy birthday to anyone who has spent or will spend theirs in lockdown.
Thanks,
Developer Relations
