Using Speech to Text API, integrating console and much more.

A new Patrol Management System is coming so you can coordinate your crew like never before. Invite friends from across Roblox or pull your fellow friends already on Patrol into your own Blythton server — no need to restart, no downtime, and a bigger response to crime!

@script_ing Disagree, I am much better at locking in and completing a system in an hour then resting, over stopping mid way through due to a technique such as this. 👎

(Healthy) Productivity Tips for Roblox Developers: - Have a to-do list with checkboxes that give you dopamine when you check them. I use Notion. You can use anything you want. - Put all your work tasks on that to-do list. - Once a task is done, check it off - Use the Pomodoro Technique (30 min work, 10 min rest). You can experiment with what numbers work for you. For me, I normally do 40 min work 15 min rest. During the time the timer is on, close out of all other tabs that are not directly related to work or music and make sure that you cannot do anything except work. - I believe that you will get more work done in the 40 min you are fully locked in than in 2 hours of multi tasking. That's how I'm able to complete games relatively quickly. My 40 mins of focused work is the same as 2 hours of someone else's unfocused work. - After the timer is done, you can rest/stretch etc. - If you wake up and you feel like your heart is beating very fast and you're stressed, that is probably an early sign of burnout. - If this happens, it is because your mind is being overwhelmed by the amount of stuff you have to do. Make a to do list for the day and do LESS work for a while. Spend time doing other things that are NOT work. Note: I've found that THINKING about work has the same impact to your brain as actually DOING the work. So if you are doing actual work for 40 mins and you're spending 6 hours thinking about the work, your brain is doing 6 hours and 40 mins of work while you're only getting 40 mins of work done. A very bad ROI if you ask me, lol. (I speak from experience) I used to stop working and then listen to podcasts and educational videos as my "break", but I'd get tremendous brain fog because my mind was still in work mode. Then, I wasn't able to work at all for a while. Once I cut everything out and actually took proper breaks, I was able to work even MORE. Working less allowed me to do actual work more. Crazy, right? - If you feel like you have brain fog, your productivity (output per unit of time) will significantly diminish. Take a break. Breaks allow you to recover your productivity. Productivity = focus * time (I believe Charlie Morgan was the one that said this) To get the most focus, breaks are important. And also, enjoy the process, make others happy and make money. I think all 3 are very important.

Added in NPC fighting, dialogue, AI shooting and much more to Police Response: Blythton in the recent weeks. After >2 years here, I can definitely say we are continuously pushing the boundaries of the ROBLOX engine and implementing immersive features consistently.

@julien_x @Borlng This actually seems to incorporate some of what you were saying - would you like me to credit your bit as I was unaware of the extent you went into it?

@julien_x Hi Julien, I've added a post regarding sorting of the "Top Community Posts" and an option to filter sorting. devforum.roblox.com/t/sort-forum-t… Feel free to forward to the team if you find it at all relevant.

SHIPPED: you can now lock your own forum posts 🚀

I’ll be working nights this week and juggling bug fixes, but I wanted to take a moment to share a few sneak peeks of Police Response. Some adjustments to our ai driving smoothness and adjusted the behaviour to prevent crashes. AI Shooting mechanics shortly following.

i mean me and the team really did cook so i cant claim full credit for everything shown. prb seeing some serious use of algos and pathfinding and i cant wait for the new algo to go into live servers. game is wip #roblox #RobloxDev

@MentorZanel thank u brother

@CharlieStfcc course mate

@m_etrics the goat

@hoodnigga Around 7.

@AnneCheriee happy bday

@UnitedKingdomRX lets get it, northminister. surely a myth

@luciirika @Roblox imagine tho the amount of ppl if not tho

@m_etrics @Roblox This is good advice I dislike only being limited to one payout per calendar month though

@luciirika @Roblox pretty much if ur devexing like 800k then its gunna take you like 6-12 days especially if u dont frequently cashout, the advise on the website is going to be for frequent customers or low amounts

@luciirika your in way too much drama ngl; id reflect a bit.

@TheMyzta Same with many games built forever ago, I think it is worth converting to streaming. Just take it step by step and it won't be too overwhelming, fingers crossed.

I deeply want droplets to have streaming enabled but I built the code base forever ago and the incredible mountain of work that would be is overwhelming

@TheMyzta Happened to me when one of our controllers was yielding, if you use a framework it could be when initializing your modules in the framework.

A new bug that only happens sometimes has emerged in My Droplets and it prevents the game from starting 🥹

@luciirika @JunierRBLX To be honest in 2024, you should simply stick to industry standards of half upfront + looking into your employer and only going into work with reputable/safe individuals. Additionally, sign contracts that are legally binding.

@JunierRBLX I have never and will never see my kindness as a weakness. I get scammed a lot because I do things for people and trust too much. But that's something I'm aware of. At least, I can fight back.
