@XecularO @MaximumADHD There is a meme surrounding this of all programmers just "steal" someone's code and enhance it.
(This is not confirmed) But AI only trains on public and code that has the right to train.

@MaximumADHD The issue I have always had is rights. AI companies get paid to do training on proprietary and copyrighted materials.
Selling a product developed with someone else's proprietary code under any other context would get you crucified by the legal system
English
The people who are complaining about AI use in programming have never had to deal with the mental strain of needing to deep dive to solve problems that are hyper specific and niche, using systems that aren’t well documented (or behind a bunch of gatekept white papers/academics)
English
@ClownDah @MaximumADHD Yeah exactly, hopefully we'd see more creative and more well-made games in the platform with the recent changes in the algorithm.
English
@L0nedev @MaximumADHD that's both a positive and a negative about roblox. Roblox games are generally mediocre compared to games you'd see on steam, so well-made games stand out a lot more. Roblox would be much better (financially too) if they boosted well-made games more than slop
English
Roblox is so much more capable of an engine than people give it credit for, it's just buried in low effort slop that (unfortunately until recently) was the key thing being promoted by the website's algorithms.
Lets hope this is a sign of things to come.
Dexerto@Dexerto
A brand new Roblox FPS inspired by Ready or Not had 4 million players in its first day of launch Players have praised TTK Testing's "crazy" graphics and satisfying gunplay
English
@ClownDah @MaximumADHD Pretty much yeah, and that Roblox is accessible to all devices rather that 1 device
Another thing if it had been published in steam it wouldnt be as much popular or impressive to the players as if it was made in Roblox.I think the dev did the right thing to publish it in Roblox
English
@MaximumADHD at that point they might as well invest into making a game on steam, it'll be less restrictive and they'll make like 50% more money. The only thing roblox has to offer is the fact that it's easier to advertise (for the most part), and roblox doesn't require expensive hardware
English
@beitagar001 @axelitics @KreekCraft Another thing is 16+ players only make up around 44% of the userbase (they didn't specify if they are age checked) and a good portion of them arent age checked, so you are really focusing on a minority to play and be engaged to a game primarly built to appeal to kids.
English
@beitagar001 @axelitics @KreekCraft Its not 500 Visits, if it was Like everybody would be able to publish to younger, its actually 500 "UNIQUE" "ENGAGED" 16+ and age checked to be able to publish to younger players, you can see that he already said from 34K past month he could've only reached half of the limit.
English
It looks like Roblox is restricting all games to Ages 16+ by default.
To reach younger players your game needs at least 500 unique age-verified 16+ players in the past 30 days.
Otherwise your game stays locked to Ages 16+

Final nail in the coffin of Pls Donate. Good riddance!
I expect Roblox to continue adding benefits to the Plus membership as time goes on. The end goal is to have Plus be SO good, that it doesn't make sense to routinely play Roblox without the subscription.
It makes sense from a business standpoint too so that Roblox can rely on the consistent income every month from Plus memberships. Ever wonder why everything is a subscription now? Subscriptions make corporate income consistent and predictable, Roblox is simply following suit.
However, it's a mistake to not offer a small amount of robux in the base package of Plus. A small balance of even 500 robux would make the base package significantly more appealing. Perhaps we will see this change later on in the year as data about Plus subscriptions is collected.
Bloxy News@Bloxy_News
Starting next week, Roblox will be increasing the monthly amount of Robux you can send to other users with Plus from R$1,000 to R$10,000 a month if you have 2-Step Verification enabled. Read more about other changes to Plus and transferring Robux: devforum.roblox.com/t/update-on-ro…
English
@mrrainbow723679 @Bloxy_News I don think you will have issues with this update or not? Since you are already a dev with a reasonable amount of experience, you can just do 1 small commission or 2 and your already there.
English
@Bloxy_News im a game dev for 3 years. My games barely get to reach 1K robux. This could be really helpful if the price lowered a bit. I’m not going back to the gift card store just to get 1K robux or wait simply 1 years just to get 1K…
English
Starting in June, Roblox creators must pay 1,000 Robux for every game they want to publish to all users.
Previously, Roblox Plus was required to publish games to users under 16. You won’t have to pay this fee if you're subscribed to Plus for 2 consecutive months.
Roblox will refund the Robux publishing fee in full after 3 months if your game is still active and has not received any moderation action.
This fee will not apply to existing games that were already published to all ages before this change.
English
RIP Pls Donate and all Roblox "donation" games. 😭
Roblox is removing cross-game sales of dev products and gamepasses.
All Roblox donation games will no longer work.

Who actually uses Roblox assistance?
I've never seen a single développer actually uses it so this is just an update for the void.
David Baszucki@DavidBaszucki
Today we're announcing Planning Mode in Roblox Assistant. Planning Mode breaks down complex ideas into actionable tasks, executes them, and iterates based on real-time feedback. This is another step in our quest to compress the gap between imagination and creation. devforum.roblox.com/t/announcing-p…

Roblox developpers still miss the point that you CAN publish your game to 16+ users (Roughly half of the age checked players) WITHOUT any for of id or subscription.
RTC@Roblox_RTC
Roblox is changing the eligibility to upload games on the platform. To publish for all ages, you now need: - Roblox Plus; - ID Verification & Age Check; - 2-Step Verification enabled; - and have your account in "good standing". Roblox will additionally run games through trials to ensure engagement is legitimate and not from fake or bot accounts. To publish for Ages 16+ & Trusted Friends, you now need: - An account in "good standing"; - An age check; and - An account that is at least 2 days old. Any user on the platform, whether they meet any of the requirements, can still publish games for personal use. Roblox is stating they chose this requirements because "most creators already meet many of the criteria" and it will "make it more difficult for bad actors to bypass our moderation systems". Lastly, Roblox will make that transition by providing 100,000 users with a Free Roblox Plus subscription for 6 months. To be eligible, a user may have a minimum of 100 hours of total playtime on their game in the past month & no major violations of Roblox's Community Standards.

@Roblox_RTC This is just stupid, they already want your ID and ON TOP of that Roblox+, its ridiculous.

@jumpeioki @rizyey @blakeir I'm pretty sure its between 100-1000 since if we take into account the top 100 too the number would get much bigger
English
@rizyey @L0nedev @blakeir Here you go. Although I could not confirm that it was 100-1000 and not 1-1000.
If it is 1-1000 then this average is super low by the way. The avg number is skewed towards the top ppl and that is why they never announce the median

was digging through old Roblox earnings calls earlier.
i don’t think most people realize how lucrative the top end of Roblox really is.
Roblox said on its Q1 2025 call that the top 10 creators made $36m on average in the last 12 months.
top 100 creators made $6.7m on average.
English
@jumpeioki @blakeir In 2025, Top 1,000 creators (100-1,000) were earning 1.3 million dollars.
English
@blakeir Gaming is a hit driven business where the revenue concentrates on the top games.
If you put the top games into an average you get a very high number.
It really is much more important to look at the median revenue of top 500 creators but they will never release this info.
English
@bnbblx @coletucker I agree with you on that one.
Since looking at social media Brainrot content it mostly if not all tied to Roblox from what i've seen.
English
Just had an interesting thought..
Roblox devs have probably made more from the Brainrot trend than anyone else?!
