UGC Program: Expanding Creation and Monetization with Avatar Bodies and Heads

[Roblox]

Hi Creators,

We have updated our Documentation to include new examples, and additional language to clear up some of the questions and concerns you had regarding UGC Bodies & Heads.

Please take a look and continue to share feedback.

Thank you.

I have one main feedback which is regarding the modesty layers, Modesty layers ruin the compatibility with use of 2d clothing and thats something that literally everyone uses for outfits,

I feel like there should be a way to have it so modesty layer can be under 2d clothing so that people can still wear the 2d clothing they want but still have a modesty layer

Hi i’m tired of waiting this excessive time to get the ugc upload permissions. i’, pleading to get the permissions to finally upload my items by my own, it’s been a long time and i haven’t got ANY response from any support from roblox or developers relations

Initially, I thought UGC would be a good thing for the community. People would really be able to customize their avatars the way they want to without the roblox limitations. But now, it has gone too far. Seeing these ugly, broken, and knockoff items in the catalog is so disappointing and unprofessional. There really needs to be standards here. There are so many UGC items that look ugly and extremely low quality. These people just make something terrible on purpose and as a joke and post it in the catalog. And it gets uploaded! Some of these items even say broken in the name or description. How are these being put on the catalog?! But the worst thing that has come of this is the knockoff limited and expensive items. I have seen these headless ripoffs countless times in the catalog and it needs to be stopped. This is an unbelievable slap in the face to people who actually bought the headless horseman package. And this doesn’t even scratch the surface of copied expensive items. It’s like- what is even the point of buying any of these limited items if I can just get this fake one for 2 robux?? Also, to me, a lot of these avatars are pushing the boundary for what should be allowed. There are these tiny, skinny, big, or misshapen avatars that do NOT fit on roblox. For some time there were broken avatars with invisible body parts which is obviously extremely bad. I could literally make my avatar floating hands. Come on.

i would like to get in to the ugc prorgam pls

[RockStarKev9 (Rock9)]

I’m sorry but I can barely understand what you are saying. Please use periods and correct grammar. It’s just annoying trying to read that. Yeah, I know there are directions, but there should be standards and not free will to make whatever broken garbage or limited copy they want.

It’s nice, but how about expanding UGC? I still didn’t get any reply (Waiting 6 or something months already)
And i’m still not recieve any response.

Modesty layer seems incredibly redundant on avatar bodies that support classic clothing since there is already modesty clothing that gets applied when none is equipped. Really hampers avatar expression even more when we can’t use clothing that gets covered by bars.

EDIT: Looks like the sentiment is shared.

Making any bundle work with 2d clothing will just get rejected or deleted its annoying as hell(3 of my bundles got deleted for supporting 2d clothong)

[adamik98]

Roblox doesnt allow 2d clothing as they are pushing layered clothing.(yes the bundle did have modesty layer

(The hand warmers and thigh highs are what 2d clothint did,yes i used normal shirt and normal pants the torso wasnt affected bynclothing at all)
(The tail and visor werent part of the bundle)

It has now gotten much worse. I honestly thought dominuses were too sacred to be copied, but nope! Dominuses, domino crowns, everything has been copied and put into UGC. I am literally seeing a bunch of people now wearing content deleted dominuses that look like the real thing. And now there are these money-making schemes that promise a free dominus rip off. There are these UGC AFK games that get a ton of money by having a bunch of people stay AFK in their game with players getting a slight chance at getting a UGC fake dominus. The chances are very low and of course, you can increase your chances of getting it with robux. UGC is literally ruining the platform. Items that used to be very sought after feel worthless compared to what they used to be. No classic limited item is special anymore now that there are so many knockoffs. There needs to be strict moderation of UGC items in the catalog. There shouldn’t be any knockoffs of any Roblox limited item and there should not be embarrassingly bad items in the catalog. I would actually be happier if UGC was removed entirely and content deleted, but I see how that would cause a lot of negative effects, so moderation is better.

UGC is proving to be a huge liability to Roblox. The current UGC system incentivizes infringing on the IP rights of popular franchises and even other Roblox creators. In this case, it’s even worse than audios were because you can now make money from copyright infringement.

This system needs to be heavily walked back and revamped prior to being made public again. It’s doing nothing but causing damage to the platform as a whole. Roblox won’t be able to succeed by brute-forcing this feature just because they want a return on the resources invested into developing it

Bruh what. Your a game designer? So am I and I understand that this is not fair for the ugc creaters
