@EvanZir How is Roblox going to know the value of the integration? Inb4 "brand deal on roblox: $1" "freebies given to developer offsite: $9999"
How do Roblox police the reporting of a number you just tell them?

If this goes into effect it will directly harm my business.
It could cause us to either not have the resources to hire more people or, god forbid, do layoffs.
This would not only make it more complicated to get paid, but take away dollars we need to function. And for what?

From 2027 Roblox is going to be taking a cut from all brand integrations inside games. Currently a brand can work directly with developers, meaning developers take the full fee, from 2027 Roblox will be charging developers for having brands inside their games.

Like what predator is going to all the effort of bypassing chat controls etc etc to groom some child and then is going to go "shucks! I can't invite them to my team create?? oh no!!"
English
Completely unneccessary btw because if you're inviting a child into a team create with malicious intent then you've already had to bypass several safeguards.

Starting in May, an age check will be required to collaborate in Roblox Studio using Team Create. If you and all members of your team are 16 or older and age checked, these new requirements will not impact how your team can use Team Create.

I was checking out of a hotel in Bangkok once and this little kid (probably ~5yo) was playing Roblox on the communal PCs. They weren't playing the game they were just opening and closing the leaderboard for a good minute or two.

Most Roblox/Fortnite games lose Timmy before they even start. This is Timmy. Timmy doesn’t read descriptions. He doesn’t sit through tutorials. He’s just an iPad kid that screams TUNG TUNG TUNG SAHUR every 12 seconds. He sees a thumbnail. Clicks. That’s it. If your game requires explanation, you’ve already lost him. The games that win Timmy over are obvious and simple game loops: Steal the Brainrot Grow a Garden 99 Nights in the Forest Fish It If Timmy doesn’t understand your game in 5 seconds, you lose a lot more people like Timmy. Are your games Timmy friendly?

I noticed today you can breakdown your game analytics by "when user first played". I think this has been added super recently (but maybe I just missed it).
Kinda cool that you can see how many of your DAUs have stuck around!

My god I've been on this platform for almost 18 years now...

Which is why I think the Data Store Manager is a super cool addition to the Creator Hub. It let's you see stuff you'd never have found unless you had a reason to go looking with the old APIs
English
About 700 of them are DataStores where the names are just single player ids - but the info within is of a schema I never used.
The most logical explanation is in my inexperienced past I shipped an update that had a third party module that wrote this & never noticed.
English
I was just looking at the Data Store Manager for Speed Race, haven't looked since they added this feature..
There are 800 data stores, most of which have totally random names, wtf are all these??
I can only imagine at some point there was an exploit that let people create them?
English
That said there are also a lot of AI grifters willing to sell you on the idea you can make an amazing game with no prior experience. You cannot.
If you can't script and don't know the basics of system design or UX you will not magically make something good.

The devforum post for the MCP server announcement from a few months ago is incredible - the amount of people refusing to use AI because they think they're better
Fine, the rest of us will leave you in the dust whilst you write your hundredth remote function and utility module
English
I enjoy reading all the people refusing to use this and saying "it's slower than doing it yourself"
Like, sure. I've got through more work in a month than I think I did all of last year. It is fantastic for writing boilerplate that otherwise takes ages. Best update since forever

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…

Slightly dystopian vibes; if we don't approve of your speech we will change it and nobody else will know it's not what you actually said

* I should note this slop game has been at 100/150 CCU for literally months. Zero updates - but it has a clicky thumbnail and exploded last week for no other reason. I'm seeing other similar games with obviously clickbaity thumbnails rising around the same time
English
There seems to have been a Roblox algorithm change on ~24th February that has changed the weighting of PTR in the algo to a ridiculous degree.
I personally have had a slop game with these stats go to 800 CCU in the last few days
English
I already thought PTR was massively overweighted by the algorithm which is a lot of the reason for the explosion of slop, but it's incredible that it looks like the recent algorithm change actually favours these games *even more*
English
Games where PTR is not the strongest metric are down across the board, and in a sample of ~10/20 ish games that I also checked almost all of the ones with clicky thumbnails saw CCU rises after roughly this date, and all of the ones that fell had worse thumbnails
English
At this point why are Roblox not suing this loser for defamation and significant damages.

Has anyone elses Immersive Portal revenue just completely collapsed? I'm assuming the ad fill is just shockingly poor, but it's also possible this game was shadowbanned somehow for terrible metrics.
If you use Immersive Portal ads let me know if your graph looks like this!

A top tip is to paste the generated code into another AI, e.g Gemini and ask it whether it is good or could benefit from simplification etc. Get the chatbots to defend their code and argue against each other.
English
You cannot code a full game with ChatGPT or Claude, but if you already know how to make a game and know how to build systems, having an AI write the code that would otherwise take hours (or days!) of research to figure out is unbelievably useful.
English
The most useful part of AI agents for me is that they know how to manipulate CFrames way better than me.
I was having an issue computing alignment of dragged parts onto each others surfaces and ChatGPT just spat out a load of CFrame math that worked immediately. Game changer
