Famous last words. For us devs, there will be, in fact, no money.

When will you eventually continue developing voice chat? Relocating audio, playing with sound effects, making channels, …

Voice chat is so good, I would see bunch of things to do with it if we actually had the bargain to.

Famous last words. For us devs, there will be, in fact, no money.

Simply means your game isn’t getting enough players which in turn means no earnings. Even some moderately popular games make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year and it’s because they have good monetization strategies.

If you read the post at all, it turns out that with this subscription service, they’re basically taxing you an additional 30% on top of the original 30%. And if you’re DevExing your Robux, you will be taxed yet again. So I guess it’s possible to make some money, just sucks that the only thing you can do with it is ride the horse at Meijer’s a couple times.

Welp that is gonna be a pain to use their subscription service.

Do you know maybe any updates about public ugc? When will it release?

[probIematlc (problematic)]

All I know is it was delayed until early 2024 due to how bad the current state of the marketplace is.

I haven’t heard any updates because UGC creators are making 1:1 copies and stealing meshes. Moreover, they are creating gift boxes where, after receiving Robux, they don’t release the items. Due to these issues, the update has been delayed. Currently, there is no specific information available. Many rumors suggest it may never happen, while others believe it could occur sometime in 2024. I’m not exactly sure, but from my perspective, it’s essential to maintain a positive outlook and hope for the best.

Well, I only say early 2024 because that is what Roblox said in this post:

UGC Program: Updates to avatar bodies and heads + opening up creation

Hi Creators, We launched the ability for creators in our UGC Program to create avatar bodies and heads in August. This included the option to create avatar bodies and heads without an upload fee, no price floor, and the ability to sell them for free. Since then, our community has created thousands of bodies and heads and sold millions of them. While this has helped accelerate the creation of avatar bodies and heads on the platform, we’ve also seen that this has made it hard for creators to earn…

“Lastly, we know how important a simple, dynamic, and fair Marketplace is to our community. To deliver on this, we plan to open up creation of our 3D Marketplace in early 2024 instead of later this year as originally planned.”

But they are known to be pretty unpredictable when it comes to the release of new features so who knows.

"Well, it has already been reopened. It was reopened for applications back in October. Many of us have applied multiple times. Personally, I have submitted four applications—two before they closed it and two more since then. Unfortunately, we haven’t received any word back yet. Many others have mentioned that it takes 5-8 months. Surprisingly, there have been instances where some individuals submitted applications in the past few months and got accepted. For those wondering if it goes by alphabetical order, it doesn’t. With a large number of people applying, it would take forever to get through if that were the case.

I believe he was asking about public UGC, not UGC applications. But yes, applications are open. However, as said in my reply above, Roblox’s most recent statement regarding public UGC states it has been delayed until early 2024.

(edit: applications are closed as of right now)
