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.
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.
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.
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!
Oh I’m stoked by this announcement being so early! Great for starting planning early… after multiple years of not being able to attend in person, this might be the year for me! If I do get invited
We love that you’re organizing this <3
