For the past few months we have been hard at work building a central home for all game configuration within Studio. Our goal is for developers to be able to access all game settings without leaving Studio and not have to guess whether a particular setting belongs to places or games.
This new game settings interface is now live! You can access it by opening a game in Studio and clicking “Game Settings” on the ribbon.
Game settings, available right on Roblox Studio. Now that is epic…
Personally though, all things considered, I’m still most likely going to use the website to configure my places and games. I’m more accustomed to using Roblox Studio only to be productive and to worry about settings either at the beginning or when it’s necessary to tackle them.
I definitely think this is a great improvement. Customisation is very important and it is always important for things to be accessed easily and in the correct places they’re meant to be in.
In the long run, do you guys plan to discontinue the develop page entirely? It’s already very slow and outdated, and I’m sure Roblox would rather maintain one thing than two. Do you plan on moving 100% of the develop page to studio in the future?
Our long term plan is to discontinue the develop page in favor of putting all this functionality in Studio. We think it is a better user experience to put all this in Studio because you can easily change settings and it means our time does not need to be wasted on two parallel implementations.
However, we will do this gradually because there are a few issues to address:
Opening a non start place is much faster on web than Studio
Some critical functionality like shutting down servers needs to be available on all platforms and not just desktop
Yes I would like the ability to update my games descriptions/updates or shutdown servers from mobile as I am often away from my pc.
Such features would be especially useful in the Roblox app
