I believe it is clear that we all want this, so I’m going to post it one more time: Lilly’s Group Overhaul.
Really though, you asked for feedback, so I feel compelled to speak honestly — and honestly, I think deep down both developers and staff know that the current social features do not meet the standards one would have regarding a nearly-billion-dollar company. It’s not that they’re horrible, but frankly they’re just not good enough.
I’m going to use this opportunity to list out some of my thoughts. Others may not agree, but this is what I personally recommend.
-
Groups really need to be re-thought out (tip). Games cannot survive or even launch properly unless they have a proper fanbase, and it is extremely hard to accomplish that using the groups system (without a banned third-party aid).
-
#feature-requests:web-features is filled with AMAZING ideas written by extremely creative people. Browse it when you have a chance.
-
Brainstorm about the filter system. Find a solution that fits everyone. There needs to be some way to please all the overprotective parents and your committed developers. Right now you’re just sticking with the former but I think it’d be good not to slowly yet consistently lose developers.
-
Don’t just listen to your developers, follow their advice. You have hundreds of people that really want to make a living out of your platform, and one of the sole reasons they cannot do this is due to lack of support. Although I don’t necessarily agree with the whole
Roblox only cares about the same top-5 front page developers!view, you have to admit it does have some valid points.
In order to follow the format:
- I want to be able to maintain a proper community for my games on Roblox but it’s currently too hard/impossible.
- Has it been posted on the DevForum as a feature request? Yes.
- What would be your ideal solution? Refer to the rest of the post.
