I'm for hire (again).

@sleitnick I haven't specifically researched it, but I know table.pack(...) includes an n value for the overall size of the table.

Lua/Luau pop quiz: What is the difference between `table.pack(...)` vs `{...}`, and why would you choose one or the other?

I'll be posting updates here on Twitter, but I'll link them in the Discord in case you're not too fond of Twitter to begin with.

I'm creating a game inspired by Vetexgames' Arcane Odyssey due to my sheer distain with the improper planning of features included in it. I'm the sole dedicated builder, scripter, UI designer and animator, so please do not expect anything major.

@PlateauPeak @GigaJono Are you still alive?

@GigaJono Lmao yeah

If Tango Gameworks can be closed abruptly just a year after Hi-Fi Rush, how can any developer working for Microsoft not want to run away at the first chance? After a grim 10 years at Xbox, get ready for another grim 10, Microsoft is saying to all the talent "please don't be here"

The game is open to contributors, BUT I am entirely unable to pay, as I am poor myself, therefore if you wish to work on the game it'd be of your own accord.

After working with Animation Graphs for a while; they are (super) awesome to work with, they solve the issue of having to blend between multiple animations within code. It's so nice to have ONE animation handle all basic movement all based on the parameters of said Graph.

@riptidemamba It's what pays unfortunately; it takes more effort than reward from inventing a new style or using one not in the trend-pool.

Really hoping for more stylized / interesting action-adventure games on Roblox, tired of seeing the same thing repeated with a new skin lowkey. lmk if i'm missin out on any good ones

@sleitnick And before we forget, we have implemented a mandatory passport or drivings license check into the automatic batter, as think of the safety of the kids, they could get hit in the noggin!

We want everyone to be able to play baseball, so we've invented the automatic batter, unlocking amazing new potential at the plate. Get ready to swing! - how every company's dumb AI features read

@DavidBaszucki You are actively creating more restrictions.

For 20 years, Roblox has been on a mission to remove limits on what gaming is – and what it can be. Today, we're introducing Build – a new way for anyone to create a game on Roblox from their phone. And we’re expanding AI-powered tools for developers of every level. We're doing this for one reason: The world needs more play. Play is humanity's oldest technology for connection and learning. Before agriculture, before commerce, before civilization, we played together. And as the world has become more fragmented, the need for play only grows. Our role is to remove every obstacle between that play and the people who want to create it. Faster iteration and fewer technical constraints. And more room to push further than a single creator – or a small team – could have gone in the past. This isn’t just for studios who've already proven themselves. Some of the most important work in this industry has come from first-time creators – who were often Roblox players first – with a single focused idea. Between now and RDC, we'll incrementally roll out what we are building to make all of this real – new tools for creators, new ways for players to play, and new ways for people to find the things they love.

Teehee, I tried the fully released animation graphs with a parameter set via a spring module. Funny. #Roblox #RobloxDev

@KenneyNL Will there be future or skybox with variants added in the future that have no sun visible in the sky?

Skyboxes now available ✨ totally free for everyone, for anything (CC0, public domain). Includes 5 skies with instructions on how to use them! kenney.nl/assets/skyboxes Please share with your friends 🙇‍♂️

@stinkyhoob It has always been awful. Old Roblox simulations were sped-up to get a constant FPS.

i love how roblox started out as a physics simulator, yet now it's notorious for having some of the worst and most unoptimized physics #roblox #robloxdev

I despise the fact I REQUIRE 500 "highly engaged" players for a TEST place.

@KenneyNL Ooh, hell yeah!

@roland42589 Panoramic (spherical) image, it can be converted to cube though!

You've been asking for this and I'm finally delivering (tomorrow). CC0 skyboxes, compatible with most game engines and completely free. ☁️

@riptidemamba Though, as Roblox themselves have said; it shouldn't be used for all games, as in some cases there's just no need, like in a simulator... why would you have server authority? what benefits does it bring? none for the amount of extra work you have to do? great; don't use it.

@riptidemamba I haven't personally utilized Server Authority yet, but I can certainly tell from the examples Roblox have given; it'd be revolutionary for shooters, driving sims, anything where players regularly interact with each other.

Been noticing a huge Dunning-Kruger wave around Roblox's new Server Authority feature🫠 You can GENUINELY TELL who actually read the docs v.s. who asked an AI "is this good or bad?" and larped whatever it said w/o thought on their own #RobloxDev #Roblox
