Not much this week, the Hatch is meh and Teddy is apparently back on an alt so it’s a mid week.

:sparkles: My rating: 20/20

As for the few announcements that were from this week, nothing in specific about the announcements was bad. I liked the Roblox Learn Experience.

——

Topics I feel should be mentioned:

Studio crashes after play test: Studio "freezes" after playtest

Proximity prompt collision group respect: Add ProximityPrompt.CollisionGroup to improve ProximityPrompt.RequiresLineOfSight

Disabling replication on objects or properties: Disabling replication of specific objects or properties

A bunch of feature requests:

I agree that it’s been a bit of a dry week, but the Roblox Learn Experience is for sure something that will help out everyone.

Love your review, but I think studio crashing/freezing after playtest is just a device issue. I had it before and it fixed itself like a day later (i didn’t update studio).

Nice review. Good job!

Yep, a Roblox event with a 20% rating.

Still hitting like average 60k last time I checked somehow. I think its just the rating but I guess the drama absolutely hid some good parts of it and def overshadowed the main idea.

Might be bots who knows? Fix engine → Fix roblox → devs happy → players happy → parent’s credit card company happy :slight_smile:

are there any news about the Studio Beta Avatar Joint Upgrade (Animation Constraints)? I’ve implemented them into my games and I’ve been using them for a long time but I still haven’t had the chance to test them without leaking my game’s files to testers.

Is Teddy going to be like the villain that always comes back even if they were blown to the sun in the last episode.

Anyways, text to speech is dope, I will be using that.
