After 4 years at X, it's time to turn the page. I'm excited to share that I've joined the engineering team at Roblox! Glad to be working with some of my favorite colleagues from Twitter on the Marketplace team. I'm incredibly proud of what we built over the past few years at X on Monetization. From the X Premium launch, to Verified Orgs, Creator Monetization and one of my personal favorites - Articles, I was able to do some of the best work of my career at X. The complete transformation from a large public company to a nimble private company enabled us to quickly deliver in ways that I never felt I could at Twitter. The opportunity to work with Elon was a humbling once in a lifetime experience and I'm honored to have played a small part in building his vision for X. I'm also grateful for the opportunity to work with so many hard-working and exceptional engineers. Lastly, a big thank you to all the creators on X, who are the lifeblood of the platform. It was great to hear directly from you. It's easiest to forget with so many layers at large companies between engineers and the customers who you're building for and the impact of your decisions. Thank you for all you for X! 🫡

Automate playtests while you build. With Assistant or the MCP Server in Studio, you can simulate inputs and run tests autonomously. Fix bugs and verify changes without breaking your flow. #RobloxDev devforum.roblox.com/t/assistant-up…

@KreekCraft @RE_Games @CapcomUSA_ So awesome! Requiem is one of the best RE so far imo. The Claire sequences are BRUTAL.

LOOK WHAT I GOT IN THE MAIL THANK YOU @RE_Games @CapcomUSA_ THIS IS SO FREAKING COOL

@Rolimons @Roblox Fear not - these are not the final versions. The team is still iterating on the final content.

Roblox is currently updating the thumbnails of some limited and non-limited dynamic heads so they're no longer just placeholders. Please don't let these be the final thumbnails @Roblox 🙏.

@cSapphireCS Any Chrome extensions related to Roblox that you could try disabling? It could be related to that

@EFarraro website!

@HGesbert @CleanCrewRoblox Tried a quick solo round - really promising!

3 more minutes of Clean Crew gameplay 🫧🧽 You liked the previous video, here is a new one! We release the game today 🔥 Follow @CleanCrewRoblox #roblox #robloxdev #robloxart

@ClocksetY Flagged this to the team to take a second look.

Roblox is also deleting people's original emotes along with all the duplicates - I just received a warning and had my appeals declined for "copying" an emote that I created...

@ReverseRBLX Following up on this

Has anyone gotten an email about incompatible items? If you have a lot of items that don't fit their very strict and narrow tech (hard to know without the email) 3 weeks may not be enough time to update your catalog. #RobloxUGC #Roblox #RobloxDev

They posted their migration to new heads 2 weeks ago, and its only another 3 weeks until they take down items that don't comply. Yet I have not heard from ANYONE who got the email about updating their heads. I wish I could chalk it up to a mistake but it feels like a shakedown.

@Yourius @Roblox Were you able to get this sorted out? If not, please shoot me a DM

@KreekCraft Thanks for flagging! We've reverted the update for this head. Please let me know if it doesn't look as expected.

Roblox just updated my face. My day is ruined.

@TopcatGG @Declanitory I can't promise a timeline but it's on our radar

@Declanitory 100%

Besides the clear lack of QA on many features released, I feel Roblox is becoming increasingly disconnected from the developer community. There are so many critical features to add and real issues to fix that actually impact our workflow. Instead, resources go into irrelevant interface changes that worsen the UX — renaming Groups to Communities, Friends to Connections, and so on. I’m not sure how things work on the backend, but I hope this shifts and the platform refocuses on meaningful improvements that help us grow it together.

@TopcatGG Should be fixed now!

Why are my Guilded banners gone from the Community pages?

@Blizzei_ Hi, can you double check now? We did a rollback due to a bug and announcements should be restored now. We intend for there to be a proper replacement for announcements w/o Guilded devforum.roblox.com/t/update-on-gu…

are you fucking serious they removed announcements from my group💀

@TopcatGG @yourius @Roblox I checked & there's currently a test running on the sort order. I flagged this feedback thread to the team that works on it. We're aware that creators want more control over the sort & are thinking about how to best enable. Relevant Dev Forum post devforum.roblox.com/t/uploaded-ite…

@EFarraro @yourius @Roblox It used to show recently published items before. Also, my Store still isn’t same as Yourius’s, not sure why his is showing up different…

. @Roblox Why is my community store sorted by high to low prices as of lately 😭 Why would a store ever want this? It makes zero sense... Not to mention it now looks messy as hell too.

We launched in-experience creation for accessories and clothing on 10/31.  Since then, users have created over 40K items INSIDE of Roblox experiences (in addition to all of the assets being created within Roblox Studio).   devforum.roblox.com/t/client-beta-…

@TopcatGG @yourius @Roblox What did the sort used to be / is this a recent change that you're seeing?

@yourius @Roblox 100%, I worry a lot that we depend so much on the algo that can change in a glimpse of a second

@LukasThePickle Super cool to see this in the wild! Would love to have some kind of undo option in the future.

I made a test game where you can upload customized UGCs from inside it! You can try it out here 😛 roblox.com/games/11211462…

@TopcatGG I chatted with some folks internally and figured out what I was doing wrong - they were able to reproduce your original render.

@EFarraro It was on a MacBook too and it definitely looks more metallic in-engine. I’ll retake the screenshot in a bit

PBR Accessories must be the biggest flop feature for UGC creators this year... They don’t render correctly at points of sale, making it impossible to justify higher prices or even see if they fit the avatar look you’re going for. Feels like I’m just burning extra Robux on upload fees with these. I get that the platform’s evolving fast and prioritizing speed over polish, but it’d be great if Roblox added an extra layer of QA before pushing features like this live. #Roblox #RobloxDev #RobloxUGC
