Throwback to RDC 2019. We've both came a long way since then. Thank you @Roblox for the journey and @DavidBaszucki for the inspiration 🙏

Jank Of The Week: Roblox chat + live translations!
Roblox introduced a new chat system a while back, and this is the only way to use their newly promoted "Chat Translation" features.
Unfortunately, many games cannot use this new chat because it does not perform as good as the old one, and it also has known bugs - like the Chatted event not firing locally!
Devs have tried giving this feedback, but performance issues are never taken seriously when it comes to CoreScripts. This makes developers avoid new features.

@petergyang slowly replacing our analytics. would really love to see a more live analytics (sales, CCU) like Shopify! any plans?
English

When we started working on creator analytics at Roblox, it was in rough shape.
In less than a year, we delivered:
- Similar experience benchmarks
- Audience demographics
- Real-time metrics
- Error reports
- Avatar analytics
- Sales & revenue for in-game products
- Acquisition sources
- Insights
Thanks to the Roblox community for giving us feedback along the way. We are always listening and couldn't have done this without you.

@CDDev_ @jandelRblx @Callum_Luckwell Interesting very clever, listed as occasional violence however, what’s the reasoning there?

@samhofer @jandelRblx @Callum_Luckwell Well consequences to players are clearly unrealistic and cartoony, and we intentionally use language like "Tags" and "Respawns" instead of "Kills" and "Deaths"

Incredibly proud to be a part of this project, but most of the credit must go to @CDDev_ and @Callum_Luckwell who have worked relentlessly for 2 years roblox.com/games/14518422…
It's amazing to be the largest FPS game on Roblox currently.
Check it out if you haven't, it's a lot of fun!
