UGC Catalog is Now Live!

Why can’t developers make UGC items?! After all we basically make Roblox a GAME apart from Video Star Creators…

As in the main announcement, it’s being tested out with trusted people. You’ll have to wait for a bit so you can actually do an UGC item.

Most of theses items are receiving 100k plus, the devs are set for life on ROBUX. It’s too greedy and unfair on devs who can’t create Catalog items.

Okay, I just thought it was unfair that people who record our games manage to make probably 2x more money then we do… don’t you think?

So is there any indication of when this will be open to almost the public, or just to even smaller devs? I keep hearing it will happen soon but it’s been a while since then.

Roblox are treading slowly and carefully, with some recent controversies likely being a major step back for UGC.

Roblox’s end vision is to open the floodgates to the wider developer community — so it will happen someday (hopefully by the end of the year according to Roblox’s estimates)

Roblox contacts english speaking developers and invites them to the program. There was a way to apply but not for english developer, it was spanish, portuguese, french and german developers. Another way to get UGC acess is to become a star member which is pretty hard on its own but star members also have the giant limitation of 1 item per month.

The UGC catalog…

An awesome idea. Sorry for the late reply, but so far it has been going really well, Roblox did moderate a couple of items that looked similar to existent Roblox catalog items e.g: Limited (U)'s and other, but overall the UGC catalog is a success and is growing from time to time.

Developers finally get the chance, to imagine and make their creations public on the site, then earn a little bit of money, while making people happy with those cool accessories they made.

We’re looking forward to see more developer exclusive features.

I know this is late but I just want to say something positive for the community!

this is definitely the best roblox update and making an idea that we have been thinking it would never happen and suddenly happens is just amazing props to roblox and every ugc member for making this possible

kind regard,’

I think the the first option is good but maybe it could be where you can only upload a certain amount per week, month, whatever. Also the idea of it costing robux to upload would be a great way to prevent spam and low quality hats, although it shouldn’t be a ton of robux, maybe 100? Either way I think all those ideas would be great

They’re still testing the feature so the group of developers is going to be small. They said that they’ll be releasing it by the end of the year

This is why it is taking longer. In RDC They said they where rolling out a new moderation system so they have to make sure it works before it can be used. If I’m not mistaken this is part of that new moderation system. They also have removed knock off items from roblox.

Is there any way we could get a source on this? I’ve been working towards UGC for months, and figured in the worst case scenario I’d try to get in when it became more public during the aforementioned Spring 2020 release. Did something change?

Their keynote at RDC. You can find it on their website.

Huh… I could’ve sworn Roblox’s Future Of Avatar is where we got that Spring 2020 date, and yet going to 33:37 of their video shows that that isn’t planned for quite some time. Now I’m wondering where that Spring 2020 number came from.

Tbh I didn’t even remember that this was a thing. I was basing all of it on my recollection of the keynote itself.

Is there a way to apply for UGC? How did the current creators become UGC creators right now?
