Transparency between Roblox and the Developer community is severely lacking at the moment, with the many issues of discovery, lack of Developer Awards Program among many other issues. Roblox has always had an issue around transparency with the developer community since its inception. However, there is a way to fix this.
Recently, the Analytics team at Roblox created a guilded server that allows a few hundred developers both big and small to directly communicate with product managers and engineers on a casual basis. We’re given insights into new features, updates well in advance and are able to directly give feedback straight to the people working on Analytics.
In fact, you can apply to join here!
This is the type of communication and transparency we desperately need as developers across all of Roblox. We’re the ones that make the platform exist, we should be able to directly speak to project managers across all different teams and have them directly hear our feedback and respond instantly. Every team on Roblox should have a focus group similar to this, allowing developers of all sizes to have a say in what that team is working on and build a strong communication between developers and Roblox higher management.
Please Roblox, make more teams like this, its clear that it works.
I’d also like to thank the amazing staff in this server that are actively listening to our feedback and ideas;
