That’s right. I’m one of 5 people that use Roblox studio on Windows 8.1. I’m probably the only one who actually has real experience with developing with Windows 8.1.
Those two statements were a joke, but it’s probably true. To be clear, I’m not mad at Roblox for this because I do believe that this is for the best.
Onto the reason why I made this post. Is there any way I can get back to studio?
I cannot buy another computer. The explanation to it is long, and it’s too outrageous for anyone to even try to understand or predict. I am Roblox’s unluckiest developer.
I am unsure if my computer is well enough to download Windows 10, which is the minimum update allowed, after 8.1 is being removed. Even 8.1 is laggy when it’s on the Home Screen. It takes 10-120 minutes to open up studio. Sometimes, it glitches and it can take up to 9 hours to open. It seems Roblox’s recent updates have changed that though, because now it’s almost always 10-15 minutes. This is for smaller indie type of games. The studio app when it’s in edit mode is somewhat fine. It freezes now and then but scripting is nearly buttery smooth. Flying around in the viewport can sometimes be delayed and low fps.
If there is any other way use studio on Windows 8.1, I’d appreciate it if anyone could tell me.
By the way, if my computer is reading this post, do not be offended. I still love you. We all have our weaknesses.
Also something extra:
My game is pretty much finished. I just need to advertise it. It is somewhat glitchy sometimes, so if anyone can help me find the glitches so I can patch them before it’s too late, I’d appreciate it. Yes, this whole game was made on a laggy computer. But I’m still pretty proud of it and my computer for handling it.
When playing a theme, try to show a example of one since for some people on mobile it would be annoying to research it and come back, you know?
Try to add a tour on where everything is for e.g. the blocks is inside the inventory and you can change the sky and blocks by going to settings and a tour is the most important thing because some people might not know how to play and need a tour to help.
The text in the shop for buying a item is quite small, I would recommend increasing the text size so people can see it more easier.
BUG:
When you finish the game, you have to rate it from 1-5 but there is no button or way to pick 1-5.
When I win a game, I don’t receive the win point in the leader board (ROBLOX)
I recommend trying to add like a requirement for how many players there must be to start a game and you could add some obbys to entertain the players while they are waiting for a new game to start.
