What's Coming in 2019: This Year's Developer Roadmap

I’m still somewhat disappointed that the roadmap shows them as on track when they are clearly a quarter late.

Anyone have any idea when the Terrain vegetation will be out?

Is the reason it isn’t out is that they are adding the ability to customize it? Or is it just because of mobile roll out times?

No idea about the delay, but to the best of my knowledge, customization isn’t coming out this year.

If anyone wants to see what it looks like, they can check @Maximum_ADHD’s Twitter or use his mod manager and run the gametest2 build.

Custom Materials let’s the developer use any texture below 6k resolution I believe, It’s not Roblox having new textures, it’s letting all developers use there own textures with normal mapping and specular mapping properties.

As long as it’s an object like the texture object, or even the texture object having its specular / normal properties under it, thatd be perfect.

But having a material object that makes it so you have to use multiple parts isnt a good idea imo.

Perhaps though if it is a dedicated material object, maybe it could be set to “FaceOnly” ?

The updates are really good. Here is some of the updates I like!
1: Level of detail on Meshes and Models
2: Future is bright phase 2 (I can’t wait for phase 3!)
3: Terrain Vegetation
4: Custom Materials

Also can’t wait for next years roadmap, to see the upcoming features.

At this rate, everything should be deferred.

I have noticed that none of the things that were promised for quarter 4 have actually been released. Are these all deferred or are they coming in quarter 1 next year?

Looking great so far! Roblox is really „getting there“!

Happy new year everybody! :fireworks::sparkler:

Well, as others have stated, I’m exited to see the new road map.
I assume roblox would move all the projects that aren’t finished to next years road map.

Anyways, happy new years everyone! :confetti_ball: Enjoy the new decade ,and change your life for the better. Help others, and help yourself. Spend time with family and friends, get into a healthy habit, etc. Have fun!

I am also excited to see the roadmap for 2020. I hope that Roblox will learn from their mistakes in the 2018 and 2019 roadmaps and not put too many things on the roadmap, because it just results in people being disappointed when half of the roadmap is delayed or never happens.

You aren’t owed everything that’s put on the roadmap. They put it on there because it’s a feature that they would like to ship during the year, but they know full well they aren’t going to have time to ship everything.
