The surprising adequacy of the Roblox game marketplace Free games = better market fit?

Just posted a new thingy: The surprising adequacy of the Roblox game marketplace open.substack.com/pub/papabos/...

this sounds peak, once WebGPU is widely available I expect to see a lot of projects around making use of it, currently you're basically locked to WebGL

Would expect issues to arise with processing payments. Have you thought any on that? Dunno how it'd work with international, subscriptions, etc

Great stuff, will be looking forward to seeing more c:

Wow! More details please? Google turns up nothing useful when searching for "Luau SSG" and Luau Static Site Generator turns up a tangential Hugo alternative; is this a private project?

What is this chart?

Took a little break today to make some fun art

#robloxdev

Two messages from Roblox notifying the developer that a user has requested their data to be deleted because of right-of-erasure

Yoo I just got my first right to erasure requests! Is this how it feels to make it?

Fun? Do you have something specific in mind?

Loved what the untitled tag game guys did for the hunt. Goes to show all of the stuff you can achieve when you've got a nice "engine" backbone, most of the mechanics are all in the base game. Just great stuff

Picture describing a Roblox experience benchmarks Average session time and day1 retention are over 90th percentile. Day 7 retention, player conversion and ARPPU are over 50th and UQPTR is 5th percentile

Somebody tell me how to get this dang QPTR up ᶦ ᵇᵉᵍ ᵒᶠ ʸᵒᵘ

Oh I hadn't heard of chickynoid having a specific problem with mobile?

I was considering using it to not have to worry about implementing movement anticheat in a game idea I had

How'd you find your highest retention in the first place? An exploratory round of ads?

Thanks for the transparency btw

Also, for the projects page: The title on the thumbnail itself. The ones that have it feel way better than the ones that don't, it's like they're missing smth.
I know they have hover, but on mobile you can hover, and if someone screenshots the page they have better context

I really like your art, your style has a really cohesive vibe throughout the whole site

From a UX perspective I would've liked a direct link to the projects tab in the landing page. As some have mentioned I prefer being able to dive into each project selectively.

on how Roblox community members might want to tackle this situation.

As usual, be the change you want to see in the world. Speak with users who've completely migrated and decide if it'd be good for you, the community, and the world on the long term whether you decide to use both or migrate entirely

to the people who don't participate in the blackout.
An orchestrated, longer lasting push for bluesky could be an option: Using your existing platform to periodically remind users that you are only active here, for example

I realize that this thread is kinda negative, just some food for thought

people who are already on here. At the end of the day, business is business and number go up higher on twitter.

Unless each user moving is willing to take the hit and sacrifice either their audience or the content they watch I don't think a "temporary" blackout would do much except give more space

that twitter exists, (with the added detriment of missing out on the posts and engagement of people who didn't migrate) we're gonna be stuck on this cycle.

There are some people that migrated completely but they're in the minority. I just checked my timeline and 12/20 of the latest posts were from

Notable developers such as yourself can start pushing for this internally.
If Roblox were amenable to the idea they still wouldn't remove Twitter, though, so now both your attention and your community is split.

I enjoy bsky more, but I feel that unless devs and users are willing to "forget" that-

I think that a big blocker for this is that Roblox doesn't have support for bluesky profile links like it does for Twitter.

So if one, as a developer, wants to direct members of their community to socials to get the latest updates, players can't currently click on a button and find their profile

Awesome, looking forward to it

Wow! Need to see the how the shadows look, pretty interesting potential.

Are you planning on having hard shadows or "blurring" the boundary somehow?
Though I imagine that softening the edges might feel like some cheap antialiasing. Worth a try to see what it looks like

Posting a fun commission from a while back, client wanted a small festival-like minigame for their game
#Roblox #RobloxDev

Dont know how niche this topic is for a lot of information about it to be in training data, but wouldn't this be one of the positive use cases of AI?
Use an assistant as a question parser and get the info you need

Really pretty commission I worked on recently. I scripted all of the UI functionality for this client’s game hub where they announce their upcoming events, have a global leaderboard and give you access to a store.

Just saw your posts on the custom engine you're making, disregard my question. I initially thought this was about Roblox games

Point still stands for the driver value, worth looking into

Curious about what you need this for. Is it this projection specifically that you want and it can't be achieved in-engine? Maybe for UI elements?

Regarding the animations maybe you could tie the current step to a driver value (For a rotation, or a step in a path, for example)

omg I love it! Diegetic UIs are amazing

I should be doing that stuff more
