I personally don’t think this was a great week. I don’t understand why everyone is all excited about Roblox trying to work with Schlep. Clearly, that’s just a PR stunt. I do not like Kaufman’s response to my question.

I think the safety council or whatever it’s named is a horrible idea. “Trusted Creators” half of the trusted creators that tried to help have already left and are gone, the only ones left are the ones who just want money. Horrible news roblox, I wish it would’ve gone down better than gone down how it is now with lawsuits…

i dont like what they did with the roblox graphic settings, my game looked fantastic with 3 bars, humanoid shadows got rendered under voxel lighting with lightmap reflections under a reasonable rendering limit and most importantly cubemap reflections got rendered, and now it looks like what it used to with 1 bar with flat textures and no noticeable changes, increasing graphic settings now seems to do unnoticeable little changes that dont affect the beuty of the map cause now the rendering distance for lightmaps, shadows and cubemap reflections is ridicously low compared to what it was some months ago, since i last played, i was hoping roblox would finally make a setting update in studio to set a rendering distance on the game, so things wwouldnt get rendered past the limits of foggy maps, without sacrificing the graphic quality that comes from lowering individual graphic settings, but now im once more dissapointed by the changes done to the platform, and uninspired to continue developing my games.
