Renaming Game Active/Inactive to Public/Private

[JakeTheNewb]

I was skeptical about it, since I figured it was just going to be a bit pointless, until I noticed you can play even when it’s private, which is actually a really nice change after a second’s thought!

Place visits to Game sessions next?

The term “place visit” is very confusing…

[Seranok]

I agree that the concept of “place visits” no longer makes sense. We will probably change it to “plays” at some point.

[KnockOfScripting (KnockOfInsanity)]

I think you guys just need to worry about giving us a better way to show we updated the game!

[CodeSleepRepeat]

Sounds like a step in the right direction!

I’d also love to see the ability to sort all your public places, not just the games.

[Lunya]

This is a nice change! It certainly makes it more clear.

@Seranok

For example, you will soon be able to play your own private games. This will enable you to test without worrying about other players following you into your game. Long term we will give you a lot more control over who can test your games.

local RS=game:GetService("RunService")

RS.RenderStepped:connect(function()
  print("THANK YOU! YES! :D")
end)

I hate this update.

jk. I love this update. Thanks!

[GammaShock]

Glad we’re going to be able to test updates with private mode, it’s going to make life a lot easier!

Long term we will give you a lot more control over who can test your games.

Amazing change, hopefully they’ll add multiple players testing soon!

[XSS_Injection]

This is amazing, I was always struggling turning my places on and off.

[RoyallyFlushed (Royal)]

Exciting!

[traigla]

Awesome! The amount of times I’ve needed to test an update without opening the place. Good update.

[unix_system]

Perhaps we can rename Games / Places back to Universes.

I loved that name so much. It also isn’t confusing as hell.

[Operatik]

Sounds great! …but it makes no difference for me.

Game update page + Subscribe to game updates

edit: This thread has become the most-liked thread ever posted on the Developer Forums. Thanks for the tremendous response! Update logs and update notifications are clearly an incredible priority to Roblox developers. Let’s make this idea a reality. The Problem This feature request aims to solve the following problems: Developers have no way to communicate game updates to players. We are forced to change the game icon, thumbnails, and even the titles of our games just to convey that our game…

can this be next pls

[ultraveIvett (hira)]

At first it did not make much sense, but it did after I saw that we will be able to play our own games when they will be disabled.

@Seranok

This change paves the way for future improvements. For example, you will soon be able to play your own private games.

Any time frame for this being released?
