Updates Community & Events

Its not fair to believe that most or all developers hate socializing. Sure, we sit in front of a computer for more time than what is healthy, but some of us can socialize when the situation calls for it.

Additionally, the idea that creatives are all introverted and/or shy in social situations is a stereotype.

I agree that Roblox doesn’t show the networking aspect of RDC, and I don’t blame them for doing so because the public doesn’t care as much about that.

so, what social events do they have?

#108

Based on what I’ve seen on social media, there is a dedicated day for companies to set up booths and provide developers with networking opportunities and some developers set up their own “developer get-togethers” where they invite people to get together outside of the RDC venue.

Hope i will get invited and learn new things about Roblox, would be my first time at RDC. Grinded the past year just for this moment.

Official ones (from Roblox themselves):

  • Breakfasts
  • Lunches
  • Post-awards party
  • Workshops and booths
  • Focus groups
  • Downtimes in the “social” areas
  • Developer mixers (which are usually 21+ in bars)

Unofficial ones (from attendees, this is where you get the best connections):

  • Parties (e.g. Quantaun party, Sawhorse Party, etc)
  • Dinners (e.g. Devvit Dinner)
  • AirBnb/hotel roommates and meetups (often times, it’s a great way to meet people)
  • Events and venues (e.g. Roforco’s 2023 venue)
  • Meetups at public places (food, bowling, movies, yacht, etc)

And more, you get the point.

Last RDC only lasted 2 days, but because of all the outside stuff, I stayed for 8.

Wow that sounds like a complete fun. How come no one ever did record it or did vlog about it. Every vlog i saw was either very fast or undetailed explain in 3-5 minutes. I am actually surprised roblox top developers are enjoying simple activities.

I wish someone could do a video about these things.

I have this story to share:

Fantastic event! Perhaps we could have a Roblox Asian Developers Meetup similar to this one, but specifically for Asian and Southeast Asian developers who can’t afford to attend in-person events. It would be a great opportunity to meet fellow Roblox developers and staff in person. Bangkok, Thailand, would be a great location—just a suggestion!

Not 100% true, you can aso get an invite as a UGC maker, program member, game jam winner and much more to get a ticket

Exactly, it’s not well placed at all :sob:. My college starts in September 7th which makes it impossible to attend in person.
