[Podcast] Roblox launches on ROG Xbox Ally, new Lionsgate IPs arrive, and more

Roblox launched on the new ROG Xbox Ally and Samsung Galaxy Store as part of their ambitious goal to capture 10% of the gaming market, but simultaneously ran some more trials to bury the “Continue” sort on the homepage.

Developers also got access to apply for more Lionsgate horror franchises with an improved pitch system, plus the client beta for custom flipbook layouts that make particle animations more efficient and flexible.

I am confused how this is a community resource?
We are not receiving tools or models from this, but a simple video. This would have done better In some sort of lounge.

There’s precedent of helpful videos and podcasts being shared in this category.

The lounge categories are more for discussion threads rather than for pointing people towards resources. This podcast talks about recent changes on the platform, informing devs and players.

If a staff member disagrees then happy to move it to another category, but I have had DevRel staff talk to me at RDC about the podcast, and didn’t raise any issues with the original post: Beyond The Blox - Podcast

Name a single other podcast you’ve seen in this category.

How is this helpful when people can just read the announcements? Especially when it’s being advertized on the literal source of said announcements.

This would be MORE warranted as a discussion of said changes.

People like to consume media in different ways. Not everyone wants to read those announcements or the docs.

In terms of other podcasts, there aren’t many Roblox podcasts anyway, but under the podcast tag there are:

It’s marked quite clearly with both the tag and the title that this is a podcast, so that people who aren’t interested can scroll by unaffected :blush:

I think you’ve misunderstood. The podcast is a discussion we had and recorded. The lounge category is for open ongoing discussion on the forum.

Of course all forum posts are places for discussion, but specifically I’d post in those categories if it was “Roblox announced a thing, what does everyone think about it?” as opposed to “Here’s a podcast you can listen to where we talk about it”.

That’s my understanding of the categories and the staff I checked with agree, but the forum does change over time so if that’s no longer the case happy for a staff member to let me know :blush:
